When retail prices began their tise after World War I, they al- were 75 percent above pre- . By midsummer of cost of living was more ble its pre-war level, ac- to Department of Labor surveys. Consumers called the sit- costs. Business . men, judgés and as. well as college and school students, wore over: alls as a protest against -“$60 for $80 suits.” “Barefoot clubs” campaigned against high- priced shoes. Members of House- wives’ Leagues and civic groups pledges to abstain from can- and ice cream soda-yntil sugar Prices were reduced, Overalls In Public Office papers reported that, the Kansas Supreme joined the overall brigade. A Missouri minister wore blue denim in his pulpit, and the may- or-elect. of Emporia, Kans., don- ned overalls for his inauguration. Wealthy Gov. Frank Lowden of Miinois, candidate for the repub- fiean presidential nomination, was reported wearing an old coat to reduce clothing costs. From Detroit came reports of $1 a dozen for eggs and of an wate housewife throwing an “over-ripe” egg through. a gro- eery store window. Testimony be- fore a Sénate committee told of the doubling of Chicago rents overnight. Many tenants, declar- ing they were unable to pay in- ereased rent, fought eviction. A few states enacted laws to prevent rent profiteering. The tenants of an apartment ho- tel in New York City went on what they called a “hunger strike” when the manager in- ereased their board $5 a week. They said they had accepted rent of 50 to 100 percent but batked at extra dining room . . They boyeotted the ho- tel ing room until the manager restored the old rates, Higher Ailmony, Too The Kansas Supreme Court at- firmed a decision granting a di- vorced wife an increase in all- mony on account of the high cost of living. Coal prices skyrocketed. The department of justice arrested seores of coal operators and deal- ers on charges of “gouging”. The switchmen’s strike aggravated the coal shortage. Some specu- lators exploited the situation, and Rriges of $22 a ton for soft coal reported. from Massachu- setts to South Dakota. Sugar went to 30, cents a pound in some cities—five times as high as the pre-war price. Fruits and | vegetables were almost four times as high. A United States attorney said he was informed that a Bos- ton ‘hotel charged $1.70 for two{ tomatoes, Another hotel was re- ported to have charged 20 cents for a boiled potato. Profiteers Hunted Down “Flying squadrons” of the De- partment of Justice hunted prof- iteers and hoarders in various sec- tions of the*eountry. The depart- ment announced in midsummer; of 1920 that 1,854 arrests had been made and 191 convictions obtained in the anti-profiteering drive. 5 The department also helped sponsor a “Save money on Meat” week in which 10,000 New York City butchers were reported as co-operating. Buyers were urged to‘pass:up the higher priced cuts of beef, pork and lamb and to shop ioe less expensive cuts. “Car- ry your lunch” clubs were or- ganized in an attempt to force down restaurant prices. A study made by the New York City health depart ent showed that out of some 2,000 families, “offering ‘a fair cross-section of the city,” about 40 percent entire- ly dropped meat from their Aliet; another 40 percent eliminated | oes and 15 percent did without! High prices were a hot issue inj the presidential campaign that} year. Republican and Democratic platforms contained “high cost of | living” planks. The Republicans said the prime cause’ was a “50 percent depreciation in the pur- chasing power of the dollar due to a gross expansion of arcana ‘and credit” by the Wilson admin-| istration. _ * H The Democrats’ Version The Democrats said the remedy lay “in increased production and a relentless pursuit of those who take advantage of postwar con- ditions and are demanding and receiving outrageous profits.” Republican Candidate Harding ; one of prayer for victory achiev- | feats British “Guerriere” in War} bled on the march to victory in field, air depot, hospital, radio, of 1812, 1814—A British, army lands. | thumbnail reports on what has! some 50 miles from Washington, D.C. * fi 1848—A letter in the N.

Deficoratic Candi- date Cox charged the Republican- controlled Congif:ss with protect- ing profiteers. Many other theories were ad- vanced for the high cost of living. Economists cited scarcity of com- modities, heavy increases of ex-/ ports of foodstuffs, increases in! wages and decreases in houts of labor, a multiplicity of strikes, | hoarding and pr#iteering as rea- sons for zooming prices. The exact effect of the buyers’ strikes cannot be measured statis- tically. But they undoubtedly had! some influence.
