Meat boycott cuts sales but not meat prices nationwide
A weeklong April Fool's meat boycott persists with limited price relief. Ethel Rosen, head of the Women’s War on Prices in Chicago, calls for extending the boycott through April to force a 20 percent across the board price rollback while government actions curb grain and cattle subsidies. Reports show mixed store sales, no retail price drops, and significant layoffs at packing firms, with some cities showing sharp declines and others little change.
