GALL TO ARMS AGAINST PRICES
Dr. Bel Scharf of Washington starts the Anti Food Trust League urging nationwide action against high prices. He claims bottom-up measures will hit price-gouging if people abstain from purchases and consumption of costly foods and fabrics. He proposes a public campaign to cut demand across beef pork and other goods.
Call for a nationwide league to end trusts and high prices
The speaker urges formation of local consumer leagues in every ward, township and village to drive monopolies from business within ten days by boycotting targeted products. Citing Germany’s coffee monopoly, they claim a united public can force tariff and price reforms, focusing on one article at a time and proving legality of refusal to use unnecessary goods.
