Fair Price Campaign Urged by Organization Leaders
A fair price campaign urged by the Fair Price Association led by Al Palmer aims to curb retail price hikes and "police the food trade." Palmer, at a Senate subcommittee conference with Hoke Smith and others, argued against criminalizing profiteering without clear profit caps and noted the need to protect smaller dealers. He highlighted parcel post savings on cantaloupes and eggs, and said farmers could ship direct from farms, with substantial savings for families.
