Fight Against High Prices
Organized at Meeting
Called by Women

The People's Conference Committee,
representing 1872 labor, Hebrew trades,
Socialist and women's organizations
which was formed yesterday to COMBAT
high food prices, will send delegation
70 see Governor Whitman to-day. The
Governor will be asked TO send an
emergency message to the Legislature
urging an appropriation Of from ST.
600 900 to s1O,OOO,OOO for the purchase
OF food for sale at cost to the poor
The members of the committee are
Edward f. Cassidy, Of Typographical
Union No. 6; Victor Buhr. Central red
Grated Union; William Karlin, Socialist
marty. and Carl Beck or Alexander
Kahn. United Hebrew Trades.
The Central Federated Union passed
resolutions concurring in the demand
for an immediate appropriation for
food, and a call was issued for labor
mass meetings throughout the state to
spread this idea. The Socialist party
of New York County also sent recon-
mendations to the Governor.
The conference committee was formed
at Public School 81, at Essex and Hes
tor Streets. Three hundred and ninety
two delegates and as manv outsiders as
corld crowd into the auditorium were
present.

the present economic situation cannot
be suddenly altered by any financial
relief given by the city.

the extension Of the school lunches
and the teaching of intelligent buying
will 90 far to remedy such hardship as
now exists in families which are living
below food standard which will main
tain health"
Extent of Exports Shown
The extent TO which the exports OF
food from this country have increased
in the last three years IL striklngly
shown in a table. The greatest III.
crease has been in the expectation OF
milk products. The report states sui
ficient milk in condensed form was eN-
ported in the last year to supply the
entire city Of New York for two years.
Practically the only hope for sub
stantial early relief from high prices
which the report holds forth is in the
statement that at this time OF year
there is always a shortage OF eggs and
stored dairy products, (which are now
down to their seasonable minimum"
"Within the next four weeks" It
states, great increase in the supply OF
eggs is to be expected. and within two
months the seasonal increase in milk
products may be expected TO give sub
stantial relief"
Included are the detailed results OF
an investigation Of the economic condi-
ton of $500 families which have been
under the care OF the Department OF
Health. In all there is some cause OF
economic dependency. usually sickness,
in some cases extending over consld-
erable period

Meat Reduction Noted

There has been a general reduction
in the amount Of meat used in all OF
these families, according to the re-
port. and some reduction in the amount
Of vegetable and farinaceous food.
In 373 Of the families the wages re-
ceived were less than year ago; IN
9,358 families they were the same or
higher. In 8l3 cases families seemed
in need of financial assistance. and OF
these 373 were receiving IT,
"a close analysis Of the food bought
and used in these families" the report
SAYS, "makes il clear that the selection
OF food is made rather from habit and
racial custom than by discrimination or
intelligent choice, and the purchasers
do not take. advantage even Of such
economies as are possible
Commissioner Emerson yesterday
afternoon said the decrease IN the en-
portation of onions would normally be
expected 20 cause lower prices, but that
it's effect had been Offset by decrease

their worth during the crucial bat
