Chicago, Dec. 17.-Conversational
campaigns against high prices ended
today in Illinois. Action started.
The conference of mayors of Illinois
cities, prosecuting attorneys, fair price
commissioners and representatives of
women's organizations who met here
with Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer, put a period to high cost talk.
1t marked the beginning of an organ
lied, systematic effort TO beat down
prices.
Women dominated the conference,
both in numbers and in pledges of
cooperation. Upon women, all agreed,
would fall the chief burden of the
fight. Steps decided upon included;
Demand that congress enact the law
forcing all retail dealers to mark their
goods with the original cost price
from the manufacturer or producer.
Prosecution of ''gougers" under the
Lever act. PROTECTING will be deter

mined on the basis OF the price fixed
by the fair price commission.
Preaching of economy from literally
every street corner.
Because women do 80 per cent of
the buying, main efforts of the cam
paign will be concentrated upon them
Queried by wholesalers and retail
ers regarding whether or not labor
unions and producers associations
would be included in the campaign
against high prices, Palmer pointed
out that the main action so far taken
under the Lever act was directed
against a union-the United Mine
Workers of America.
Drive Against Profitecr.
An attempt made by representa-
tive-o William Hale Thompson, may
or of Chicago, to read proclamation
issued by the mayor in 1917, demand
ing an embargo on export of food
stuffs, was hooted down.
THE profiteer," said Palmer in his
address, sis the most unconscionable
scamp that lives. 1 want every gov
ernmentai agency, state and federal,
to root him out, to expose him, to put
him in Jail. He is worse than unpa-
triotic. He is criminal have in
structed all district attorneys to go
after these devils with every power at
their command"
He appealed to states attorneys to
cooperate with federal officials to
bring all profiteering merchants to
Justice. Newspapers should refuse 10
print advertising or news matter which
showed increases in prices, he stated.
This method, Palmer said, had brought
prices down in several cities, notably
Denver.
"The women of this country" Pal
mer said, must be organized as never
before in history for this campaign
They are the greatest single force
which can be employed in this fight
if they will only work together
Representatives of womens clubs.
women's civic organizations and SINH
lar bodies clamored for recognition
by the chair following< Palmer's ad-
dress. They pledged the unqualified
support of their organizations to the
program outlined by the attorney gen.
eral.
Palmer told the fair price commits
sioners to get the four-minute men OF
war days back on the job to preach
the work and save" doctrine in the
theaters. He also told them to call
on Washington for lantern slides and
films for use in movie houses to ad-
vance the campaign

Washington, Dec. 17.-Senator Poin-
