The Consumers’ union, 35,000,000 members strong, will soon be in
action, according to a Washington correspondent.
It will call nation-wide strikes. One of the first will be against
styles. Every one of the 35,000,000 women belonging to the union will
pledge herself to wear last year’s hats and last year’s gowns.
“Of course they will do it,” said Miss Edith S. Strauss, appointed by
Attorney General Palmer as a marshal of the army of women to be mobi­
lized by the government in a gigantic offensive against the high cost of
living. “Every woman is willing to wear last year’s hat if she knows
every other woman is doing it. I’ve already gone on a strike against high
prices. I have taken a vow to buy no more clothes until those I am wear­
ing can be no longer clothes.
“Everyone is organizing in America except the poor consumer. Until
the consumers unite and stand solidly behind the government in an inten­
sive campaign against high prices we might as well sit with folded arms
and watch the profiteer flourish.
“The women must carry on about nine-tenths of this warfare against
high prices and with 35,000,000 of them organized and working as a
solid unit with the government, in six months we can get the cost of
living back to normal levels.
“In every city and village there must be a league of consumers who
pledge themselves to do without rather than pay excessive prices. When
milk is raised to a price beyond reason, like against the people of New
York, they will call a milk strike and on certain days of the week do
without milk until the law of supply and demand forces a cut in the price.
“One of the reasons for excessive prices is that the American public
is drunk with money; people have more money than ever before and they
are spending it recklessly.
“One of the first things we must do is to cut out senseless luxuries,
another is to increase production.”
Miss Strauss is a pretty, energetic, wholly confident young woman.
Her official title is director of woman’s activities: High cost of living,
department of justice.
“Do you know that there are 16,000 men and women earning their
living by traveling through the country telling people how unhappy they
should be and how they should go out from under and overthrow existing
conditions?” she concluded.
