By Peter Raeside Winnipeg housewives and City fathers Are marking a 50th anniversary no one can recall. No one that is except the bread buyers of 1916. To them the food Price protest is nothing now. It May be pure coincidence or it May be that the Cost of living squeeze be comes particularly acute every 50 years. But while our beleaguered City aldermen decided last week to press the Federal government to set up a prices review Board to protect the consumer 50 years ago almost to the Day City aldermen were contemplating drastic remedies for a similar situation. City Council decided oct. 30, 1916, to ask the Provin Cial government to set up a commission the High prices of the necessities of and at the same time allow the City to go into the food buying and Selling business. Courageous Liat was a More Cour Ageous or perhaps More rash approach to a similar problem plaguing Consumers today. Today s City Council would no doubt squirm at the suggestion of demanding the same Powers As their fore runners. But Many of the pressures in each Era Are the same. While last week a 200 Strong delegation of the Winnipeg housewives test movement spearheaded the Call for action similar ily irate housewives were involved is the 1916 protest. The name of the Organiza Tion was d i f f e r e , of course. Named the Council of women it moved on City Hall in a Large and also gained the endorsement of City fathers for its cause.

A 62-year-pld Workman was killed at the Brandon Avenue dump Jan. 26 when a truck accidentally backed Over him. The Coroner s jury recommended better lighting. This figure said the departmental report was Al most More than at the same time in 1915. And of the 1916 figure food costs alone accounted for an average sb.69 a week Canada. S8.65 in Mani in Toba. A sizeable slice of the wage earner s pay Cheque housewives of that War time Era did t picket stores to get their Point across. But they held vocal meet Ings and had the same Knack of putting their elected representatives on the spot. They also made compari sons Between prices in Winnipeg and those in the nearest Large City minnea Polis just As housewives have done this year.

They Don t have to give you injections or d r u g s they Don t have to beat you they work Only on your with these words father Aeden Mcgrath of St. Colum ban Nebraska recalled his ordeal As prisoner of the chinese from 1951 to 1954. Father Mcgrath who arrived in Winnipeg monday following an invitation by the legion of Mary a Catholic organization said in an interview at the Airport that communist China had completely succeeded in stamping out All religious activity. Although he left China 12 years ago father Mcgrath is sure that reports of religious Freedom of any kind Are false. Referring to a Csc television documentary on China shown last year he said that it had left a wrong impression. The documentary dealt at length with a Catholic Church in Shanghai where quite a number of old people could be found worshipping every sunday. I know this Church very Well. Ii is a patriotic Church. The priests had to sign a document declaring that they separated themselves from he said. Father Mcgrath was arrested by the chinese while travelling in China to organize the legion of Mary an organization to help priests. He never was on trial he never had a Chance to defend himself. I was in solitary All the time. The cell i was in was t any wider than my of stretched arms and about seven feet Long. At no time could 1 close my eyes unless i was Given explicit during the first few months he was interrogated almost Day and night. Standing hand cuffed before his interrogators. Father Mcgrath was asked the same questions Over and Over again. When i finally was let go i found out that there had been cartoons All Over Shanghai showing me with former presi-1 Dent Harry Truman. I had never met him in my father Mcgrath also later found pictures showing him in i front of a table with a number of guns and pornographic Litera lure on some lightly Clad women were shown behind him. These pictures were Dis trusted All Over Shanghai but once was i asked about them during my stay in prison. Father Mcgrath friends were in prison and i Don t know what became of father Mcgrath said. What the chinese priests can do to keep alive the spark of christianity i also Don t know.

Year found food prices for some items in Minneapolis from 20 to 30 per cent lower than those Here. Much the same scape goats were found in 1916, too. M a n u f .1 c lures were accused of controlling retail prices As Well As wholesale prices and gaining markups of up to 40 per cent on some Basic food items. As in 1966, the Cost of living alarms revived the perennial Canadian free Trade versus protectionism argument. While today the Federal and provincial liberals favor the free Trade approach particularly with the United states people of similar political incline Sung the same limn in 1916. Interest rates conservatives meanwhile blood by the philosophy of letting every part produce its own As one politician of the time put it. Other factors blamed for the 1916 Cost of living squeeze Abo sound familiar excessive transportation costs. High Bank interest loan rates. Gambling in Gram and foods. The parallel Between to Day and 1916 has one serious flaw of course. Fifty years ago. Wartime conditions prevailed. Advertising but if Many of the factors see m remarkably Akin it surely seems unlikely that Consumers had cause to complain As they apparently have today of advertising and display gimmicks used by manufacturers and food stores. Is that so Well study this 1916 grocery Chain store advertisement.
