URGES WOMEN TO BAKE
TO FIGHT BREAD PRICES
President of Housekeepers' Alliance Says
Housewives stShould Be Forced to Heed
Public Demand BY Boycott

cakes and a comparatively small
sale of bakers bread in his stores
for the past few weeks. He says
that his company is buying and
selling -four at much lower figure
than 1t was two months ago. but
there has never been q fraction OF
a cent reduction In the bakers
price for his bread.
The reason put forward for the
continuing high price of bread by
the bakers. according to Mrs. Hoes,
is that several months ago the
bakers bought up q large supply Of
flour at the high figure demanded
at that time and as long as they
continued to use the high-priced
flour they would be forced to ask
high prices for the bread. Buy
ing the flour in great amounts at
that time was done on the advicr
of Herbert Hoover. they said. Mre
Hoes is unable to see the sienif.
icance OF this.
Taking IL for granted that this
10 true" she said. although I am
unable to understand 1t, neverthe-
less when sugar was SO greatly
reduced on the wholesale market,
the retailers all over the country
Immediately sold their sugar at a
correspondingly reduced rate, and
so 1t should be with flour and
bread. If the bakers bought At
a bad time 1t was poor business
or poor judgment. and they should
be the losers instead Of taking it
out on the public, They play the
game so that they are sure to al
ways win and the public has no
come back unless the people of the
community stand together and
boycott them"

Of international Importance beyond their

England. France and Italy are power
less to cope with the problems Of fanan-
cial and industrial readjustment, and II
devolves upon the United States, as the
worlds largest creditor. to, exert her
influence in n"-malizing conditions, DR..

1.-The day has come when the
women Of Washington should bake
all their bread in their own
kitchens" Mrs. Rose Gouverneur
Hoes, president of the Housekeep-
ers' Alliance. stated yesterday.
The bakers Of Washington have
paid no heed to the persistent de-
mands Of the public that the price
proportion to the recent large
drop in -four, Mrs. Hoes said. and
until such times as the bakers see
fit to bring their prices down the
housewives of the city should
boycott the bakers and force them
to meet the public demands"
She gives the assurance that IL
were carried out the Housekeepers'
Alliance would be the first to
stand behind 1t and do all in its
power to make success OF the un-
dertaking. One method she spoke
of was q system Of women's ex-
changes which the Housekeepers'
Alliance is proposing to establish
throughout the city in which food
stuffs will be sold at a nominal
price.
Mrs. Hoes spoke Of several cities
where the bakers had been forced
to reduce their high prices by
concerted effort on the part of the
women to bake their own bread
That there already is an individ-
ual movement in Washington pro-
testing against the high price Of
bread is the belief Of S. c. John

1t is an open secret that there
