ifeaded by "Mother" Munro, one of tho
little groups, went to Hock street, a second
party proceeded to the North Second street
market section, while n third canvassed the
produce and fish markets nlong South
street. More than two hours were spent In
the tour of the shop" nnd stalls About
twenty women were In the delegation.
At the conclusion of their quest the,
housewives returned to their homes with
well-lnden baskets Their purchases em
braced meats, fish vegetables nnd fruit
They expressed themselves ijs pleased with
the result of their first concerted nttempt
to reduce living expenses through the co
operative plan of huylng nnd the bovcott
of edibles held nt prices beyond the average
working man's pockctbook
cai.i.i:i A Rfccnss
"WV canvassed Hock street prett.v thor
oughly." said Mrs Munro, as she emerged
from her pllcrlmnge and set down her
heavily laden basket "Our trip was a
HUccess and we found that, generallv speak
ing, vegetables wero cheaper In price than
they ore In our home sections. Wo bought
no polntocs or onions, and we do not in
tend to touch these two egetablcs until the
prices como down The genornl scale nf
prices In Dock street, whlto below that
charged In our neighborhood, Is higher
than wo have been paying to fanners vvtai
bring their produce direct to our homes
"Por carrots we paid eighty cents a
basket of eight quarter pecks. In this wn
our women lire able to buy and divide up a
baaket If the dealt Individually at the
stores they would have to pay much more
Uggplants cost us $1 40 a bKhket nnd we
will divide them up so that wn will save on
them also Down In the tlsh market wo got
good llh for live and six cents a pound,
and we noticed that the dealers had a large
Mock of nil kinds of fish on hand Apple"
we did not touch, but the were to be had

"When wn finished our tour of tho vege

There was a gcneinl falling on" from the
small-store prices for the better cuts, but
we did not touch 1hee We bought good
shin meat at ten iciilx a pound which Is
from two to four cents below the price
charged In our neighborhood
"The women with me ale nil wives of

In the rooking and we did very well. That
Is one of the things I am trying to Impress
upon my women j to titlllte the strlctect
economy In tlielr marketing and on their
tnble.
"The dealers generally treated us fairly.
One or two asked us If we were bocotters
or rioters, but we had no difficulty In prov
ing that wo were neither Tonight at my
house we will hold a meeting and go over
the results of our tltst day's campaign In
detail From my own experience, I feel that
we ought to lontlnue and sltlve (11 enlist the
suphort of older housekeepers In our plan
line thing I am trying bald to do Is to
rescue the wives of the small wage-eainers
from the habit of dealing on credit, by the
book plan, with the small slot.es In their
lielRhbiii hoods, which get them In their
power by such mcni and compel them to

the burden of the high cot of living will
be removed,
"With tho women In my neighborhood,
wherever I can. I Intend to take them with
mo on trips like that nf today and show
them Just how thev can prollt by dealing
direct with the wholesaler". If 'thej have
not the cash I lend It to them and the pay
me back when thelt husbands turn over
their wages
"I believe If all the housewives vv hoce
husbands ate moderate earners would band
together In this way the prices of all food
commodities would come down Let the
women cut out the uo of those vegetables
that are held up In pries and purchase
only those nrtlcles that aro within their
means, the dealers would see where their
best Interests lie and would be forced to
lower their prices or havo their stuff spoil '
