THE HOUSEWIFE'S LOT
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Now that salaries and wages, rents and pensions, and the prices, of pyjamas and razor.blades are being very materially lessened, why are not the exorbitant prices of coal and bread substantially reduced? The price of coal has been more than doubled (so far as/we housewives can calculate)fduring recent years, apparently for the purpose of increasing the prices of other necessaries of life, and the price of bread—well, I suppose with the whole ten members of the Coalition Government more or less ditectly concerned in the production of wheat we must put up with the disgracefully high price of this essential to the poor man's table. But surely the Leader of the Opposition, who looks after the affairs of the coal miners, and the Prime Minister, who watches the interests of the wheatgrowers, might do something to lessen the burden of the unhappy housewives.—l am, etc.,
MOTHER OF ..FIVE.
