It certainly was­ n’t justified and could only re­ sult in lowering the incomes of farmers, the lowest paid labour in our economy. Did these consumers not know the facts better than this or did they simply decide it was the easiest place to1 lower their cost of living in order that they would have luxuries that the producers of* food must do- with­ out? Any contact I’Ve had with the heads of the'consumer or­ ganization, impressed me as be­ ing very well Irifoimed. I can only conclude that the consumers realized it would be much easier to miaike gains from unorganized farmers than from ‘highly organized labour or manufacturing corporations. According to a statement in the Stratford Beacon-Herald, Nov. 10, 1966, food! prices drop­ ped in both September and Oct­ ober, yet the total cast of liv­ ing was higher than ever each month. Yet the consumers chose to strike against food prices. ‘I can certainly sympathize with the consumers in the. un­ reasonable retail cost of food but I can’/t shed too many tears for .consumers who, on the av­ erage, spend only 20% of theiir income on this important item. It does' seem ridiculous that the consumer should pay $21.87 a bushel for shredded' wheat when, the farmer averages a- bout, 1.75 per bushel. Oatmeal costs the consumer $5.37 per bushel While the farmer is hard pressed to get .75c per bushel. I picked these two advisedly be­ cause both products require a minlimum of processing. Other prepared! cereals would no doubt show a much greater spread. Under these circumstances don’t you think farmers would be justified in talcing much more drastic action than a mere tractor demonstration? *" Wihy didn’t the consumers strike against high rent? I’m sure many city people, certainly those in financial difficulty, are spending 20% of- their income on rent. This is one of the main items that pushed up the. dost of liv­ ing, It could be done. What could the landlords do if 75% of the tenants in Toronto; re­ fused ■ to pay more than 75% of their present rent? Some of the owners could evict but they would face the risk of being black listed. Others would prob­ ably settle for eighty per cent. After-all, houses or apartments are a serious.bill of expense if vacant. Further, if 75% of the tenants in Toronto had to be forcibly, evicted, the courts and the police would be swamped. It would just be impossible. Why wasn’t this strike called? Surely a person can live with­ out shelter much longer than without food, particularly if it were summer time. The other main item caused the ever increasing cost of living to rise was clothing. Well, I guess we could hardly call a strike against wearing clothes, though again there is a group that does just that in the hot weather, but I would .suggest that the average family could cut their clothing expen­ diture by over 50% for the next six months and not suffer any hardship at all. Last year’s /■ ........ ............1.....1 ' that styles would evidence but there would be no lack of .clothing. The consumers’ strike against food prices to me points up thle foolishness of strikes generaillly. Strikes of any kind only gain advantage for a few and usually at the expense of the weak or poor. Yet it is unfair to con­ demn them since strikes . are the result of oppression of those in positions of power. Juist where it is ail going to lead is a question with a most uncertain answer. Governments have, in some small ways, been effective in enforcing fair play but they too seem to be controlled by stronger forces. Until we,, the people, are will­ ing to “love our neighbour" we can expect selfish interests to control our lives, -----------O'----------- Stephen Leacock, the Can­ adian humorist, once taught in a small college at the salary of- $700 a year. Small as the pay was even for those days, he could do little about it.
