Protests Over Food Prices Prompt Impartial Probe
J H Rigdon told Waterloo and Black Hawk county citizens at Knights of Pythias hall that profiteering and robbery in food prices exist. A mass meeting, organized by 21-member committee, gathered about 200 people to urge government investigation and fair dealing. Petitions to Herbert Hoover demand price reductions and representation for laborers and farmers.
