FIGHT HIGH PRICES
Conaressmen Announce Intention to
Introduce Bills Aimed to Cut
Down the Cost Of Living.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. -Four
bills designed to touch the high cost OF
food were introduced today by Repre-.
sentative Fitzgerald OF New York. Two
propose food embargo. One would
regulate transportation of cold stor.
age foods and another would regulate
the admission of farm products and
manufactured foodstuffs to the parcel
post and reduce the rates on food.
Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 4.-Cleveland
housewives today began six weeks
boycott of butter and eggs in an effort
to bring down the prices.
One embargo resolution would pro-
hibit expectation of any farm product
or manufactured foodstuffs for one
year. The other would empower the
president to suspend expectations
whenever prices became extortionate
and public interests require. Both
bills would provide for shipment of
food to Americans abroad or to people
made destitute by the war, pestilence
or other extraordinary events.
Interstate transportation Of cold
storage foods, unless the date Of stor-
age is distinctly marked, would be
prohibited. together with an arbitrary
prohibition of interstate transporta-
ton OF any product in cold storage
more than ten months. except butter,
which might be held longer.
A bill for free importation Of wheat
for seed was introduced by Represen-
tative Steenerson of Minnesota.
