WOMEN BOYCOTT
'KOSHER' BUTCHERS
j Exorbitant Prices Alleged Co-
operative Stores May Be
Conducted in City
A boycott of "kosher" butihers. who,
it is said, are ihaiging exorbitant prices
for meat, ha- )e0n started by Jewish
women in all parts of Philadelphia. The
women virtually went on a meat strike
which has affected several hundred
butchers. The boycott suited j ester -daj
.
The movement is orgnni.ed in every
section of the city, and the women de
clare they will continue the strike until
the price of "kosher" meals reaches
its proper level.
While two years age similar action
wns taken by Jewish housewives indi
idiinlly, this time the movement is an
organized one. The "strike" follows
the forming of n permanent "Jewish
Women's League" nt it conference of
repicscntntives of all organizations ot
women in tlm city Mhursday night at
21' Pin" street.
More than 100 women attended this
meeting. Thev elected these officers :
Mrs. Dora Trachtenbcrg, president ;
Mrs. Cclia Htein, treasurer, nnd B.
Sedoff. secretary. A ooimiiittce was
appointed to establish the exact mar
gin between the present wholesale
meat prices nnd the prices the Jewish
butcheis are charging.
This committee will report nt a sec
ond meeting of the league, to be hel.1

One thousand dollars wns raised nt
the meeting as the nucleus of a fund
wherewith the league will establish co

refuse to give in. At these shoos ment
will be sold at cost price. Following

The Jewish bujeher charges us from

same thing. As you perhaps know, the
process of making meat 'kosher' in
volves no expense whntever.
Jewish butchers, several, of whom
were called on in various sections of
the city, declared they had to raise the
prices to make up for losses during the
war.

Sonator's Defense of Salus Bill
Defeat Unsatisfactory,
Says Fluck
REFERENDUM RULE CITEt
Senator Penrose's defense of the deH
feat of the Salus transit bill was
branded a- neither "convincing ltor snt-i
isfactory" today by Charles L. FluckJ
president of the Northwest Businesd
Men's Association.
"Senator Penrose." he stated "haf
based his opposition to the Salus bill
on the ground that thousands ot people!
have purchased homes on the strengtn
of the oririnnl transit plan.
This reason Is "peculiar and falla
cious," Mr. Fluck contends. He said
the defeat nf the bill will greatly delay
completion of the Frankford elevated!
which wounl serve thousands ot tne
character of people he refers to.'
Ridiculous, He Says
Mr. Fluck said the Senator's fear
that the money might be used to pur
chase existing lines is ridiculous "sincf
a referendum of the people, under tne
terms of the bill, is necessnry for tht
ivnnifer nf the monev to any use what-
Kriever."
Mr. FlurkV statement in part foH
lows t
"The senator likewise claims thd
original plan can be financed by reason
of increase of property values in plain
lnnrfiinrre this means 'increase In as-
sesiment,' which it another method o:
inerenKlnr? the taxation of real CBtate,
already taxed to the limit in Philadcl;
phin. lie admits it will cost uoudic,
but says Philadelphia can pay it; set
it can if its citizens wish to pay in
creased taxes as suggested by Senatod
Penrose and increased fare which he.
has overlooked If a loan Is made asl
suggested by the senator, it must bn
nald b.v whom and how .' tiy mo
citizens anil b.v increased taxation they
must, nav nrincinnl nnd interest. He
offers a novel method b.v which the bor
rowing capacity of the city will be In
creased,
High Speed Line
"By the exclusion of the amount
expended for each high speed line as
soon as it pays the interest on the
amount expended for its construction
and deducting this from original loan
It must be completed first and then It
muy pay Its own interest. How can yotu
borrow money to complete n line bja
increasing borrowing capacity by re-j
suits after completion? You must build
first where do you get the money?
"The Twining plan proposed reaches
me same results ami serves tne sumo
localities by a slight change of routil
and the substitution of elevated foil
subways in certnin localities at a cosq
of about one-half the original plan aui3
is almost coverable by the sum nov
available for transit. The Snlua bill
would have allowed the people by refer
endum to pass on this plan and thi
senator could have had the experts b'
refers to in his answer show the peo
ple where the substitute plan was de
fective if it wns and if it waB nqtl
the people would have had their rapid
transit wants supplied several years be-1
fore the original plan can be carried outS
under any condition.
Measure Accurate Mile In Broad Stl
For the purpose of enabling auto-
mobilists to test their speedometers
Director Dntcsman had a mile measure
on on South JSroad street today, acH
cording to Unitetl States standard.
The mile was measured from a point
nt 2540 South Broad street to a point!
below llecd street. The distance was
laid off by Chief Albright of the Bureau
of Surveys.
f-KXSSEL,
RIilhiB qualities in the Kissel
sense signifies as much mental
ease as It does bodily eas a
feeling of contentment that th
car will perform satisfactorily
under all conditions.
