failure of Eddie Root and Joe Fogler
to figure i'm the finish Root, who rode
the last stage of the race for his team,
was seven laps behind the team of
Stabe and Pawke. and he and Fogler
had to content themselves with fifth

PEOPLE TO WAR
ON HIGH PRICES
DR.. E. L. SCharf Of Washing
ton DeViSeS Plan For War on
ExtOrtiOnate Trusts

A real war on high food prices that
will hit the food combines where 1t
will hurt is being planned in detail
by the Central Committee in Wash
ington that proposes the organization
of a boycott association of 100000
families throughout the country.
The first battle of the war will be
fought against the "beef trust" accord
to Dr. f. l.. Scharf, of Washington.
at whose home 40 persons. several OF
them Congressman, and Congressmen's
wives met yesterday to lay definite
plans for the boycott
DIR. Scharf. who is connected with the
Catholic University in Washington.
was a Wilmington visitor this MORN
ing and discussed the proposed Con-
sumers League, which he has planned
and in which it is believed one million
families will be enlisted throughout the
country by March.
The leaders believe that in certain
cities. prices are reasonable and these
will be exempt from the operation OF
the boycott. which will be enforced
by the people generally wherever the
price is plainly exorbitant. It is tho
theory of the promoters that the sud-
den dropping off in meat-buying for
few days will demoralize the beef
trade, and reduce the price to the re-
taller.
"This is legal which we propose"
said DIR. Scharf in discussing the sub
ject to-day. 1T is the right and
privilege of any number of citizens to
refuse to buy commodities when their
common knowledge convinces them
that the price is an extortion.
Some Of the members of Congress
who have advised us are informed that
the relation of the beef packers to the
! transportation lines is so delicate that
a combined refusal to. buy beef in any
government territory will so damage
the trusts distribution. machinery that
it will at ance accede to the demand
for a fair price. We believe that we
have not only the effective. but the
only legitimate metho6 o. -retectine
the consumer against y W. ~
which prevails in many On dle trades

stuffs."
