Movement Against Meat Prices Sparks National Crusade
Across the United States anti meat groups form as wage and grain price concerns, led by organized labor and women in New York, push for lower living costs. Beef trust leaders defend high wages while signaling potential government action. Citizens sign petitions, with Chicago and Cleveland already reporting price cuts. President Taft may intervene if prices fail to drop within a fortnight. Underwear and apparel costs rise as part of a broader cost of living push.
