~ HE successful opening OF a canteen for soldiers and sailors by
the Stage Womens War Relief draws attention to the variety
and value Of the war work already accomplished by tai,
crganization of women OF the theatre.
So far as the canteen goes, it can be readily understood that the
possessed by most women of the stage make them ideal hostesses fo:
ssy, homesick lads who are desperately pleased to find some one who
knows their home towns. Then, too, this particular cantccn can
always command an entertainment programme, the names on which
viii be enough to make a young soldier or sailor open his eyes and
hug himself at his luck in getting a regular first class show of head
liners for nothing.
But the canteen. however, is only a later development Of Stage
Womens war activities. For nearly a year the organization has been
steadily turning out from its workrooms thousands of hospital sup.
plies, surgical dressings, knitted articles, and comfort kits-al of the
highest standard.
IN fact, when the Red Cross began to take over other organfza-
tons the Stage Womens War Relief was found to be in such fin,
,9nditon and doing work Of such an individual character that il wa,
asked to stand alone as an independent unit.
District Attorney Swami recently took occasion to congratulate
it's President on "the very thorough method that YOUR organization

ANOTHER KIND OF PROFITEERING?

TT is now more than two weeks since an immediate. practical step
toward protecting consumers in this city from the rroiiteering
Of retail food dealers was promised by the Federal and State
Food Administrations.
The plan, as approved, provided for a pricc-card system under
which every retail dealer in food necessities was to be supplied with a
ctrd bearing the wholesale price Of such necessities and the retail
prices at which, allowing for a fair profit, he should be expected to sell
them to his c~ustopers-pubicty keeping these prices constantly
trfore consumers in a way to encourage their cooperation in en-
forcing them.
Outlining this plan to the Commissioner Of Public Markets Of
his city Food Administrator Hoover wrote Feb. T. 1918:
With regard o a setter distribution OF food and control
ofprices OF same in the City Of New York, It
Gems to US that your cooperation with the Federal Food Board
Of Now York Is OF great necessity and could help bring about
a condition much TO be desired
1t occurs to US that your very best services to tho com
munty could be rendered through working Jointly with the
Federal Food Board. establishing a system of cards to be dis
trbuted to retailer. and these cards to convey to the consumer
the prices the retailer has to pay for food products and what
the consumer should pay. .
Any complaint OF consumer because OF overcharging or
quality could be registered through the Federal Food Board,
and a system OF careful policing by inspectors, over which you
WOULD have control could be adopted in every precinct Of the
1t was understood that the plan thus indorscd and urged by the
Federal Food administration had also the approval of the Chairman
ofthe State Food Board, MI. John Mitchell.
Has Mr.. Mitchell made any effort to put the price card system
in action against the retail food profteers in this city?
On the contrary, so far as New York consumers can see, little
has been done in this State by its million dollar Food Board toward
getting a controlling grip on retail food prices.
Nor does there appear to be anything left Of the pressure from
Albany so much in evidence last August when Gov. Whitman was
caLing loudly for a programme Of State Food Control.
The Legislature passed the bill creating the State Food Board
The Governor, finding it impossible to have Mr.. Perkins appointed,
finally put John Mitchell at its head. Since then, inactiOn on the
part of the State Food Board has apparently fitted in perfectly with
the plans of the Administration at Albany.
Why?
Well, for one thing, State food control that goes slow rather
than run the risk of controlling somebody too big to be safely con-
troled has certain advantages.
Maybe there's profitcering in politics as well as in food prices.
