into high gear this week follow
ing a giant demonstration here
last Friday.
Some two thousand people =
workers and citizens-took part
in the first public mass-meeting
ever held in Peoria's Court

of Illinois.
All of the speakers spoke of
the need for progressive political
action to change the type of rep
resentation in the State Legisla-
ture and Congress. The meeting
raised the slogan of Remember

Ask Restaurants
To Save Bread

Washington, May 27 - President
Truman's famine committee appealed
to restaurants and other public eat
ing places today to serve bread and
other wheat foods only when a Gus
toner specifically asks for them.
In making the request - designed
to provide more wheat for foreign
relief-the committee said that con-
servation measures taken thus far
by restaurants have mot been as
successful as might be expected
The committees action conceded
with these other developments on
the food front:
/. Disclosure that the government
may hike prices housewives pay for
butter, milk and cheese.
2. OPA authorized higher prices
for fresh peaches.
8. The Agriculture Department
gave some farmers additional time
to take advantage of the govern
ment's offer of a 30-cent-a- -bushel
bonus on wheat sold for export.
A. A report by the department
that big meat packers are having
trouble getting livestock despite the
governments new slaughter program
designed to throttle black markets.
The possibili ty of boost in dairy
product prices stems from an in
crease earlier this month in price
ceilings for grain and dairy feeds.
Officials who withheld use of their
names said OPA, the Agriculture
Department, and the Office of Eco
nomic Sterilization probably will de-
eide in the next few days whether
to permit the price increase.
The only alternative, one official
said, "seems to be another increase
in dairy subsidies"

NEW WAGE POLICY

A new policy line in preventing strikes was agreed on at a secret meeting oi Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach and his top adyis- CTS last week.
 Hereafter, government mediation machinery will swing into action from four to five months before union demands and strike threats are in the air.
 It is felt that many serious work stoppages can be avoided if union demands are anticipated and ne gotiations begun well in advance of contract aspirations.
 The first major industry on which the new policy will be tried will be the maritime, which faces another possible work stoppage in June. At that time, union contracts of able bodied seamen of the AFL and CIO on the west and east coasts expire.
