scaling the wall of the house, feeling
his way carefully, testing every pre-

painfully upwards by means of the
most uncanny, animal-like strength

Barnes could not recall drawing q

BABES PROFITEERS' VICTIMS
Thousands of Milwaukee Children Un-

in Food Prices-Wcmen Petit
tion Wilson for Relief.

Milwaukee, Aug 13.-Claiming that
thousands of Milwaukee children are
undernOuriShed rs 4 result of eXtor-
tiOnate food prices, more than 4OO
women, in q campaign to bring down
the high cost of living, adopted a res
Olution calling upon President Wilson
to take drastic steps to check profit
eering, at meeting held at the Forest
Home avenue school Although the
meeting was primarily sponsored by
the POlish-American Housewives
league, seven other wOmens organiZa-
tons of the city were represented.
Following is the resolution:
IL. We petition the president of the
United States to use every resource
at his command to give us relief from
the present eXtOrtiOnate prices of all
necessities of life, especially food, fuel
and shoes.
''2. We were all willing to make sac
ri1ces during the war, but see no JUS
tificatiOn for prices to keep on soaring
now. We believe that there is unjust
prOfiteering by the big middlemen and
earnestly hope that most drastic steps
will be taken by the president to
check this and punish the offenders.
''3. We find that the unskiIled labor
ing men with large families and those
working on a salary can barely subsist
on their earnings now, and that the
growing childS health is being under
mined by insufficient and improper
food.
IL. We, the housewives, who have
the problem of feeding. clothing and
making our homes comfortable on our
husbands earnings. find the task most
difficult and feel the burden of the
high cost of living most keenly. We
look to the president for a most
speedy relief TO avoid any suffering
this winter"
"The women of Milwaukee are now
on the right track in their interest
TO see the food prOfiters arrested and
put behind the bars" said William L.
Pieplow, in commenting on the resolu-
ton, when called on by Mrs. A. V.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, vice president of
the POlish-American Housewives
league, who presided.
"NO doubt all the people who are
suffering under the stress of the pres
ent high prices desire the proper Of
ficials to see to it that profiteering be
checked" continued Mr.. Pieplow.
There is no question but what we are
paying too much"
Mrs. Max T. Katz of the WOman's
School alliance attacked the boarding
of food with the aim of boosting the
price of food placed on the market.
Other speakers raped the WiscOn-
sin legislators for ''devoting more time
to squabbling over dog license laws
than to legislation which would bene-
fit the children of Wisconsin. Is the
interest of dogs more vital than the
interest of suffering humanity?" was
asked
