sons in the midst of boom times Many lines of business
hard hit Luxury items especially, suffering Some bus
show drops Of from 20 to so per cent not only in
dollar volume but also in unit sales Needless to these
industries pinched on the profit-nerve.
Meanwhile price resistance is increasing The pressure
is being felt in the meat business in particular Rising food
prices forcing working people, who do most of the buy
ing to forego all but the necessary items. In large
eastern cities long lines of housewives form each day to
buy bones: they cannot afford meat.
The farmer of course gets most of the blame for food
prices. Though he admits larger income, he bames the
middeman for the consumers troubles and has yet
able to fix the responsibility fairly. Probably both
farmer and middleman trying to take in profits
than the public can bear.
The farmer, however, is the only producer who has

his prices based so-caed parity When farm prices skid
