Two very strong pos. flbillt'O re sclsure of tSc bakeries by the (kivcrnment and the establishment of municipal bakeries under direction of Mr. Jliover President Wilson's recent proc lamation which placed foodstuffs under th liitnjlnj agreement and gave Herbert Hoover power oer many food commodities fi not mention bread. Officials would not comment on this omission. ft was authoritatively learned today that Hooker verv nhortly will take summary aillon wllh the bakers. For more than tuo n-rtintns now the food administration and the national organization of the baking trade have been negotiating. They have been un able to reach any agreement. Bakers have steadfastly maintained that they cannot tfduce the price of the fourtecn-ounce loaf from ten cents The food administration has ns per sistently declared that present biead prices re exorbitant. Hooer has not fprgotten the bread situa tion. Ho still has the question under ad visement. It was also learned that he bad niade a thorough study of the recent report Tiiide by the Federal Trade I'otnmlstlon and nas putting together all of the data ob tained by his own agents. In the Philadelphia bakery whene experi ments are being made, cost accountants are working and an accurate report of the sclual cost of manufacture and distribution of bread lift a metropolitan city Is being made This will probably be the basis for the final argument which Hoover will ute In his appeal to the baking trade. President 'Wilson will take the last and final step In the matter. It Is confidently expected here that within a few dHys. by proclamation, the President will place the bread industry In the hands of Hoover. At the same tiinn it Is expected that a state ment from Hoover will shew that the bakers are the only food produceis who have thus far failed to meet the requirements of the food administration. If matters cccoine serious enough, there are many close to Hooer who believe he will go as far as to take oer the baking Indus!"- Ii is known that lloowr Is back of a plan to ask I'ongrees. at its next ses sion, to pass legislation providing for a municipal nakeiy In Washington.
