camaigns went through the week

meat dealers throughout the Nation

tailed.
Some dealers reported business
had fallen off, but that prices gen.

Housewives, acting individually
and through clubs, sought to put a
damper on prices by halting meat
purchases and creating a buyers
market. The idea got underway in
Dallas and caught hold in many
cities. 1t spread through chain tele-
phone calls, one woman calling 5
or 10 others and asking them not
to buy meat.
But meat dealers say the cam
paign hasn't done much to their
prices. There were instances of
cuts on certain meats, but these
rose again after few days. In
some places prices even went up.
