TOWNSHIP HULLETT
Nomination Notice
Love Thy Neighbour
Why did the consumers de
cide to strike against the rising
prices of food products in the
retail stores? 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,

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. It is
said he once wrote a letter to
the Board of Governors, saying:
“Gentlemen, unless you can
■see your way dear to increase
my stipend immediately I shall
reluctantly be forced to” - and
here it was necessary to turn
•the page to see the conclusion
of the letter, which read - "con
