of Jot carrier, one week .10 'tors and government officials
— I declared that the failure of the
* union party now in control to low-
$ er the cost of living may result in
I a bitter political struggle.
Living costs form the big fac-
! tor in the strike which for almost
I two weeks has isolated this city.
Strikers say they have been joined
by many nonunionists who see in
the movement a battle against
high prices.
Food Prices Soar.
Food is higher now than at any
time in four years. This spring,
when food costs normally descend,
prices are rising. Butter sells at
fifty-eight to sixty-five cents.
Across the border in Minnesota it
I is forty to forty-five cents. Other
foods are ten to twenty cents low-
j er across the border.
Labor leaders charge that food
j is coming to Winnipeg in great |
| (juantities, but dealers are st.or- '
ing it and waiting for still higher
prices. The expected demand
from European countries, they
say, is back of the practice.
Strike headquarters has issued
i no official statements regarding }
ossibilities of political action. In-

ASSOCIATION FIGHTS
DAYLIGHT LAW REPEAL
New York, May 29.—Marcus M.
Marks, president of the National
Daylight association, today sent
appeals to chambers of commerce
throughout the nation to join in a
protest against the repeal of the
daylight saving law. A rider on
the agricultural bill calls fou its
repeal.
"The repeal of th? daylight sav-
ing law will be pernicious clans
legislation," said Mr. Marks. "It
has been said that a few farmers
are opposed to the act, but on the
other hand, millions are in favor
of the extra hour of sunlight. In a
year it has saved more than one
million tons of coal, minimized
eye-strain by Obviating work un-
der the glare of gas and electrici-
ty; has promoted general health
by giving light for amateur gar-
dening, thereby reducing the ab-
normally high expenses for food
and has lowered the gas and elec-
tric light bills."
