Separated Hiqhwuys
From the San Francisco Chronicle

raICIScu
Twice within 48 hours, on the same
stretch of the Bayshore highway, a car
on the wrong side of the road crashed
into bus with fatalities. This gets
special notice, because of the coinci-
dence But there is nothing novel about
this type of accident. Singly, it hap
pens somewhere in California every few
days.
This is one more circumstance to
point up conclusion that the four lane
highway is obsolete for heavy traffic.
To 60 further, highway with any num-
ber Of lanes Is obsolete for crowded trafiic
unless the two sides of the road are
divided by m impossible barrier.

Higher now, especially butter.
AS for prices on the farm, in June,
1920, wheat was ,s2.56 and cotton 81
cents. In 1919 hogs had touched $2ol2
and eggs 10 cents.
And wages after World War I seem
low today. Average earnings in all man
ufacturing establishments are now
around s42.50 a week-s45 in durable
goods and $40.25 in nondurable goods.
In 1920 the average wage In New York
State factories was s2S15. In the cot
ton textiles industry it was s24.S5 a
week; in mems clothing, around s22 so
a week.
Little Price Control Then.
The United States went through the
imitation period after the World War
with little Government control of prices.
The wartime Food and Fuel Iever)
Act was extended; its chief prohibitions
were against excessive prices and hoard
ing Of necessities. 1t authorized retail
pricei only of coal and other fuels.
and price fixing at the farm only on
wheat
Opinions differ on how effective the
buyers strikes in 1920 were in reducing
prices. In the latter part of 1920, de-
partment stores did announce price cuts
of 10 to 20 per cent; Sears Roebuck and
Montgomery Ward made sharp price
cuts in their new catalogues; cotton
goods prices were slashed at the mills.
But some economists hold that the
chief factor in the price def1ation of the
latter part of 1920 was overproduction;
at all events, prices began to fall at
about the same time as economic ac-
tivity declined and the depression of
1920-22 got under way.

BUYERS Strike Recalled
During 1920 Initiation
Overall Parade and old Clothes
Clubs Made Headlines Then
By Berfram Benedict

Dv DeTrQW DEVE0tCb
From all over the country come pre-
dictions of buyers strike if prices rise
further as result of the discontinue
ton, temporary or permanent, Of the
Office of Price Administration. Some
thing of buyers strike occurred dur
ing the price imitation after the end OF
the World War.
In April, 1920, movement arose
among men for wearing oyeralls IN
stead of suits; newspapers rejected pleas
of retail clothiers to suppress the news.
An overall parade" was held in New
York City. celluloid collar club was
organized in st. Louis. Other cities pro-
duced "old clothes clubs" and society
columns told of brides proudly wearing
gingham wedding gowns.
Representative Upshaw of Georgia
appeared In the House in overalls. Sena-
tor Charles S. Thomas of Colorado os-
tentatiously walked into the Senate
chamber in patched clothes and cracked
shoes. The Massachusetts, Federation
of Women's Clubs, then other women's
organizations, urged their members to
buy nothing but absolute necessities.
Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York in
dorsed the overalls movement; Gov.
Beckett of North Carolina denounced it.
The AFL, following pleas Of workers out
of employment, condemned buyers
strikes, and merchants insisted that the
trouble was not SO much the high cost
Of living as the cost of high living
More Justification in 1920.
Whatever the justification for buyers
strikes now, there was more justification
in 1920. Retail prices now up about IS
per cent since the outbreak of World
War II, were in June, 1920, about lis
per cent higher than at the outbreak
Of the World War. And wage scales
were about one-half Of what they are
today.
The average mot the top) prices Of
certain staple foods were as follows in
1920 as compared with the national
averages of non-black market prices six
weeks ago as reported by the Labor De-
partment:

The cost of tires has gone up 3.3

Polish D;nIoroat Retorts

Polish Diplomat KetOrtS
To the Editor Of The Star:
In a letter to The Star of July 2,
Michael Kwapiszewsh has protested
against my laying a wreath, as Charge
d'Affaires of Poland, on the tomb of one
of the immortal great Poles, Ignace
Paderewski on the fifth anniversary OF
his death, calling it this brazen
desecration"
Mr.. Kwapiszewski based his uncalled
for provocation on a claim that he is
thoroughly familiar with Mr.. Pade-
rewski's conception of democracy and
freedom. His letter gives the lie to his
claim. Paderewskis greatness, apart
from his artistry, was in his magnitude
of heart, sense of tolerance for those
who opposed him, and love for Poland
without any reservation. Mr.. Kwapis-
zewsNs conception Of democracy and
freedom seems to be pettiness, lack of
tolerance for his opponents, and dislike
for Poland If 1t does not suit his mar
row, unprogressive ideas.
