“MERCHANTS TOAD | HOUSEWIVES’ FIGHT ON FOOD GAMBLERS East Side Chamber of Com- merce Pledges*Support to Protective Association. Enthustastic support to The Eve- ning World Housewives’ Protective |, Association was pledged by the East \ Bide Chamber of Commerce at its Meeting at No. 210 Second Street last night. Alleging there are enough willing men, women and children on the east side to carry The Evening World Housewives’ Protective Asso- | otation plan to success, Assemblyman | Nathan D, Perlman made a stirring | appeal to merchants to join in the movement. He characterized the food | eltuation in the section as truly alarming, and recommended imme- diate action for the relief of the pov- erty stricken housewives due to the alarming increase in the price of food- stuffs, He pointed out that The Eve- ning World had formulated a compre- hensive and definite plan, with unity of aotion behind it, and that the '' merchants should urge their custom- «rs to become members. “Let the women of the east side rally behind The Evening World in its determined crusade to free the city trom the pestiferous clutches of food speculators,” he said, “When the women learn through you of The Eve- ning World’s movement, designed to release food from the control of the speculators, they will flock to the Housewives’ Association and help in the campaign, These skyrocketing prices are causing indiscribable suf- fering, but the situation can be mot successfully if the women will join the association.” A scathing attack upon the food pirates was made by Abraham Lus- tig, attorney for the board, who add- ed: “I note with satisfaction that ‘The Bvening World Housewives’ Pro- tective Association is vigorously sup- porting the Lever bill, Th's is a move in the right direction, and it is the imperative duty of the women not only of the east side but throughout the city to aid, Congress should pass + this measure. The >» must be a reg- . ulation of the food prices or the poor © of the city will be at the mercy of these unscrupulous gamblers. If © Congress could but realize or compre- hend the significance of the food situ- ation among the wage earners they would have no hesitancy in passing } this measure.” After lauding The Evening World's » efforts in connection with the Wid- , ows’ Pension and Penny Lunch move- ments, Abraham Epstein said: “The Evening World has proved ab- solutely dependable. It can be trusted in this important food campaign. Let the merchants r id the use of substitutes to the consumers, There plenty of food which furnish real nourishment and contain all the ele- ments necessary to feed the body, A wise choice of cereals {nstead of pd- tatoes would serve as well and far more cheaply, And these Raber tutions | would be a knockout for the fo gainbler, “I congratulate The Evening World for inaugurating this movement. 1 lias already accomp has brought us te this condition in it had been done last 1" Would dave Leen no riots on the side.” Following an address b Schlacht, the board a tions pledging its w port to The Ev wives Protective What promis Diggest food railles si tion of The Evening V wives Protective Associa Harry H. | ment will be held to-night in the! large auditorium of the Morris High | School at One Hundred and Sixty- sixth Street and Boston Road.
