$26.65 REQUIRED WEEKLY
TO KEEP FAMILY OF FIVE
AT MINIMUM STANDARD.
Boston, Dec. 90.—The cost of
maintaining a reasonable stand
ard or living for wage earners in
Lawrence has increased 84 per
rent in the past five years, the na
tional industrial conference board
announced today. The board
made public a few days ago a re
port showing the cost of living in
the country as a whole had ad
vanced 82.2 per cent in the same
period. Figures previously arp
nounced for Fall River gave a 75
per cent increase there on items
identical with those used at Law
rence. Both Lawrence and Fall
River are principally textile cities.
A steady income of $26.65 a
week is required to maintain in
Lawrence a family of five persons
at the minimum standard, it was
stated. The report was regarded
as of special interest at this time
because of the controversy be
tween William .M. Wood, prest
and merchants of Lawrence over
dent of the American Woolen Cos.,
the former’s charge that mill em
ployees there were forced to pay
excessive pries. Mr. Wood annou
nce! last night that he would open
a store at Lawrence soon to sell
necessaries at cost to employees of
his company.
