COUNTRY IS AROUSED
piepi* United States Are Up In
Afms Against High Prices of Living
Commodities, and Remarkable Canr».
paign is Being Waged.
New York.—With the United States
ccfvernment silently preparing a cru-
Lde against the foodstuffs'trust and
^Ith social, industrial and charitable
organizations in many big cities pledg
ing tlici^ msmbers to boycott meat
and oilier high-priced commodities,
the figlit cheaper cost of living
has now spread froni coast to coast,
and the country stands upon the verge
of a revolution.
This city has taken the lead in the
fight with club women drawing up a
petition upon which they hope to get
the signatures of one million hcfus^
wives protesting against the steady
high prices of living necessitlela.
Ten million people are in the fight
and already, while the battle is in the
initial stage, the first blood has been
drawn In Chicago and Cleveland,
where the meat trust reduced pork
and lamb approximately 2 cents on
the pound.
President Taft will take a hand in
the fight, according to a report, and
it is rumored that unless the prices
are reduced withinA a fortnight, w‘11
send a special message to congress
asking that-legislative, relief be ap*
plied.
While confess is projecting an In-
Testigation, some of the states, nota
bly Ohto
lor the same courae.
A careful estimate shows an enor
mous increase in prices in the last
few years. In the past eighteen years
prices have advanced 75 per cent.
The states enlisted against the beet
tniEt are Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Delaware,
Connecticut, Michigan, New York
Massachusetts, Colorado, Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin.
These states are not acting as insti
tutions, but contain cities where or
ganizations have pledged *their mem
bers to become temporary vegetari
ans.
Labor Unions in Vanguard.
Labor unions stand In the vanguard
of the battle against high prices. In
St. Louis forty-two doctors advised
workmen that it would be beneHcial
to eliminate meat. In Connecticut,
workmen are including butter and
eggs in the boycott?- Cleveland ha^
tasted the first blood of victory, for
the price of pork has already fallen 2
cents per pound since the boycott
^ent into effect there. In Cincinnati
club women have given up butter. In
Wilmington, Del., scores of women
made house-to-house canvasses with
pledges asking people to sign. The
Baltimore Federation of Labor has
opened a campaign bureau and is
sending out literature and giving
jjway buttons bearing the inscription;
‘Cut out the meat.’* A petition will
be forwarded to the governor of Mary
land asking for action.
