cents instead of the 40 or 43 cents a
pound dealers were demanding before
the fight began.
Many women, not admitting the
boycott war was over, kept up their
price resistance even until today and
in consequence got the national bird
at prices we'll under those of last
night.

Restaurants are beginning to see how
it works and some of them are gently
suggesting to egg-hungry customers,

menu. has been stamped the word
"boycotted."
The effect of the boycott in this city
has been a drop of cents in two days

Solution for Food Problem
Enigma for Congress.
Three Remedies Already AdvO-
Gated by Some Members.
COUNTRY VS.. CITY CONQUEST
Representatives of Farm Dis
tricts to Fight Grain Embargo.
Believe Smash at Middleman Is
Right Course.

Washington. Nov. 3O.-Evidence
continued to pile up here today that
congress is going to spend consider
able of it's precious time in the COM
ing short session looking for a high
cost of living panacea.
Here are some of the remedies
which early arrivals at the capital
have suggested and which they say
they will push in resolutions to be
introduced:
An embargo on all foodstuffs.
A law compelling those who store
foodstuffs for speculative purposes
to dispose of 10 per cent of their
holdings every thirty days. at pre-
vailing prices
Investigation of the entire ques-
ton of high prices, either by the
federal trade commission or a spe-
cial joint congressional committee,
which will recommend legislation
suggested by its findings.
Wilson Prefers Last Method.
That the president and his cabinet
will strongly favor the last sugges-
tions, senators and representatives say,
is foregone conclusion.
The president has discussed the
high cost of living frequently with his
cabinet advisers and he is taking deep
interest in the work of the postoffice,
commerce and agriculture depart
ments along this line.
The embargo idea. besides having
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York to lead, will have the strong
backing of many other congressman.
Representative Jeff McLemore said to-
| day he will favor it, and that he has
| interviewed or heard by mail from
many others who will do the same.
| Scout Embargo Idea.
| However, no food embargo will be
established without a bitter legisla-
tive fight. Many urban representa-
tives from rural districts have an
nounced they will fight it to the last
Republican Minority Leader ManT
| and Representative Borland, Missouri
| both with strong fo1lowings, believe
an embargo is not what is wanted.
IF Representative McLemore thinks-s
food embargo will fail of passage, ht
will strongly urge the second sugges
tion mentioned above, which woule
hit hard at storage spectators.
Borland wants a congressional OF
federal trade commission investiga
ton.
