Indicative of how the American people will let them selves be led into a situation which is undermining competi tive business. We say we believe In free enterprise, but we don't have nerve enough to do any-thir- when a combine of busi ness Interests forces an artificial raise in prices." CilM Over Supply Mrs. Bosworth said she hadn't forgotten pictures taken In 3ra ill and other coffee-producing countries, showing great quan tities of coffee being burned be cause over-production had glut ted the market and because cuf fee dealers were afraid prices would fall too low, and neither has she forgotten the statements of some, within the industry, who protested the increase in prices and maintained there is no coffee thortage. Mrs. Bosworth. when her fa vorite grocer refused to do any thing about the price of coffee, started to buy her daily gro ceries at various other markets, finding In the process that she saved quite a bit of money by "shopping around," even though she failed to interest any grocers in her campaign. Many Cut U She has been discussing the matter with her friends and fel low club members and while she found that few of them had completely ceased to buy coffee, she did find a number who were serving coffee less frequently, thereby cutting down their con sumption, and others who had ceased to make coffee in the pat ent gadgets, which they said took more coffee, and had returned to the old-fashioned boil method which produces more brew for the same amount of ground coffee. "We're actually helping to de stroy our capitalistic system of free enterprise by not being self disciplined enough to exert pres sure in cases like this," Mrs. Bos worth believes. "I'm interested in the 'long haul1 reaction we're going to get if the consumers submit to such tactics."
