Food Prices Shoot Upward,
A Warning to
PROFITEERS!
(EDITORIAL)

w setting our house in order for our
visitors next week, the fat hands of
profiteers in food are reaching into every
Seattle home and apartment, taking toll
in nickels, dimes and dollars.
While scores Of men have labored UNI
selfishly, some Of them for three years,
to get ready to entertain the nations
Knights Templar, these profiteers have
given, most of them, neither time,
thought nor money, to aid They are life
members of the Grab, Get and Gimme
club.
The Stars food price check, printed
elsewhere on this page today, shows that
the folks who produce our food aren't
getting more money; in some cases
they're getting less than they were a
month ago.
The profiteering is going on some
where between the producer and the
folks who live in modest apartments,
tiny shaeks, middle-class bungalows
and those other thousands who eat in
restaurants.
THIS is family row. We're going to
try to have it out now, so that things
will be pleasant for our guests-but
pleasant or unpleasant we're going to
have it out.
Most of us, who happen to be mine-run
humans are willing to work in any way
to entertain our guests next week Some
of us have worked for months on plans
for the Templars' conclave or the great
free Sportsmen's show, or the wonderful
Wayfarer pageant.
There was no thought of money max
ing in this planning and working. Does
the hostess, when she issues invitations
for party, prepare to make profit from
her guests? Our whole thought has been
to bring folks here to see our wonder city,
our marvels of forest, field, stream and
sea, to let them revel with us in Seattle
sunshine-jus huge week-long party,
with everybody having a good time.
Did the profiteer in foodstuffs give his
time to helping US?
Did he dig down in his pockets to help?
Not he! All he did was sit back and cal
culate how much extra he could gouge
out of us, and out Of our guests.
LIES gouging us now Next week he'll
IL gouge the folks to whom we've ex-
tended hospitality. Hospitality" in the
profiteers' dictionary, means profits
Let's play fair on this thing. Let's keep
prices at normal level. There'll be
enough added business next week, at
regular prices, to satisfy everybody.
Public Opinion is the only weapon in
this family row. That means your voice
and ours, raised in protest.
Let's get this family, row over NOW.
Smoke out the profiteers!
