TO PROTEST H. c. OF |.
AT MASS MEETING
People Asked to Support
Measures to Reduce
Prices.

Feeling that the limit has been
reached and that some positive action
must be taken at once to reduce the
high cost of living in New Britain. q
special public mass meeting has been
called for Sunday evening. This
meeting will take place in the hall in
Hanna's block on Main street and
will be called at o'clock. The formal
call for the meeting specifies that it's
purpose is Ito make ARRANGEMENTS
for q protest against the high cost of
living
It is their opinion. the promoters
state. that the prevailing costs of
foodstuffs Is altogether too high and
is far out of the ratio in which
wages may have been raised. The
committee in charge feels that with
bare necessities Of life costing UNI
necessarily high prices some steps
should be taken by the government
to bring relief to the people. Fur
thefmore the committee makes the
statement that if artificial prices are
being created regulation should be
tried.
In other cities about the country
similar meetings have been held and
although they have had no nation
wide effect 1t is possible that local
conditions were bettered. One of the
most notable instances Of these pro-
tests against the high cost Of living
has been in New Haven where the
Housewives league has declared and
actually enforced boycott on po-
tatoes in an attempt to reduce the
price. After being in force for q
couple of weeks the members of the
league voted yesterday to continue the
boycott for another month.
Just what plans New Britain will
adopt will probably be brought out
at this meeting.
