Plenty Pood league forms to curb food profiteering
A women’s editorial group in New York forms the Plenty Pood league to investigate conditions and press for fair prices from farms and milking, aiming to guarantee three square meals a day for consumers and fair returns to farmers. They do not blame farmers, but target middlemen who profit at workers’ expense. The committee could benefit both New York and the city’s citizens.
