Cleveland Butchers Promptly Respond
Living Thousands Join Crusade
Until

Columbus, Ohio. - A resolution
calling upon the people of the State to
abstain from meat for the next sixty
days and to subsist entirely ON a diet
of vegetables, nuts and fruit for that
time was introduced into the House
by Representative Tidrick.
Chairman Williams, of the High
Price Committee, was fairly swamped
with mail from all parts of the State
containing suggestions as to possible
remedies for the situation. many of
which were deemed worthy OF consid-
Grafton.
One of the most popular ideas in
the rural districts seemed to be that
the millers had abandoned the old
custom of taking one-eighth of the
grain as toll and were now asking
twenty-five out of every sixty pounds
of wheat as the toll for grinding.
Many women representing women 8
clubs pointed out that lack of instruc-
tion In cooking among the young
women of to-day is responsible for
the added cost OF living by waste and
extravaganza in many households.
Senator Williams held a long con-
ference with the eAttorpey-General re-
garding the situation.

the situation acute in his State.
Governor Shafroth of Colorado
said he had not given the subject
much consideration The same was
the case with Governor Shallenberger
of Nebraska, Governor Burke of
North Dakota, and Governor Carroll
of Iowa. The latter three being great
agricultural States, the people are not
complaining directly against the eX-
orbitant cost of living, because they
are getting high prices for their farm
products.

II live comfortably, and I know

gerald, of New York, during a debate
in the House THE cost of living
has been going up steadily for fifteen
years, and it is the maladministration
of the Republican party that is to
blame"
Mr.. Fitzgerald's outburst was made
when the $1,250,000 item in the Ur-
gent Deficiency bill for the. Commits
sary Department of the army was
reached. Chairman Tawney had ex-
planned that the soldiers ration had
gone up from nineteen to twenty-five

Cleveland factories has spread so fast,
not only in this city but throughout
Ohio, that the first effect came in the
announcement of straight cut of
two cents on certain kinds of meat.
Further reductions are expected. The
meat dealers are alarmed, and a Sc
cret meeting of the Butchers Protec-
tive Association was held to devise
means of combating a movement that
threatens to become national in scope.
Many of the dealers say their or
ders have been cut In half in the past
two days. and they fear some will be
forced out of business. Over 10000
men in Cleveland factories have al
ready pledged themselves to abstain
from eating meat for at least thirty
days, and 1t is believed that fully
100000 people In this city and sub
.urbs will be in the vegetarian class
before the week ends. Other cities
of the State are following the idea,
and Senator Williams suggestion that
the entire State boycott meat till
Easter Sunday is being taken up with
an earnestness that means business.
Big meat dealers here and the agents
of the packers say II the boycott
reaches New York City 1t will surely
force decided drop in meat prices

Washington, ID. CAS- reflected by
the views of the Governors now here
in conference, the high cost of living
is most acute question throughout
the entire country. In some States
Investigations to ascertain the cause
already are in progress.
Governor Harmon of Ohio is inves-
tigating the condition through a spe-
cial commission. Governor Hadley of
Missouri will take the subject up with
the Legislature when 1t next meets.
Governor Harmon said he was not
prepared to say what the direct cause
of the high cost of living is, but he
recognized the injury done by great
combinations.

lieves that conditions have been
brought about largely by the people
themselves.

cessities of the wage Garner" he de-
clared.
Governor Ansel of South Carolina
thinks the problem too deep for ready
solution. The people CT his State
haven't felt the pressure as keenly as
in the North, he believes, but with
even the Governor paying fifty per
cent. more for his living than several
years ago, it has brought the subject
very near to the head of the State"
Governor Curry of New Mexico
