The truth behind the whole matter is â€"that consumers don‘t strike . they are struck! There may be a few who will march up Third Avenue in a "consumers‘ strike" parade and then dash up a side street to buy their roast. from the corner grocery â€"â€" but the consumers‘ real strike comes only when there is nothing to buy, or when there is nothâ€" ing to buy with.

Current reports are that the program is a sound one and t.he young people are doing a. fine job. in arranging it. With farmers making less money, or no money at all, we would all feel the effect of his loss of purchasing power â€"â€" after all, he is a conâ€" sumer, too. Perhaps you can remember the early thirties, and reâ€" member what happened when the farmer had to sell his produce at less than it cost him to grow it We all took a licking then. Or was it the idea of the. consumers‘ strike to force the government to nax..subsidies which would engble beef to be sold at a lower figure? Let us then figure out how much in taxes the consumers will pay for their cheaper beef! We think it will be found more economical to pay our money to the producer directly, rather than to pay the govemment to cullect and distribute it for us. This loss he would have to make up by chargm.g consumers more Tor obher items. Let‘s pretend, for instance, that the consumers‘ strike is perfectly orâ€" ganized: all Timmins housewives refuse to buy beef. What hdppens? First, the retailer would take a loss on what stock he has in his store. ~â€" Then he would refuse to order any more from local branches of the packing houses. They, in turn, would either refuse to buy any more cattle from the ‘farmers or seek beef at a lower price. So the farmer would continue to keep the cattle on his farm or accept what would be, in effect, lower wages for his work. ~ â€"At the risk of giving further publicity to another of the Laborâ€" Progressive Party‘s. attempts to secure a following, we ghould like to comment upon the idea behind any attempt to persuade people frem buying their daily needs. The proposal to organize a "consumers‘ strike" in Timmins has failed to attract the active participation of more than the merest handful of people: «â€"Much â€"as may resent the continued rising in living costs, this has not, evidently, been sufflcient. to lure them into giving eapport "to an "thitiatthg committee" whose members Without the communist influence, a consumers‘ strike might well have proved a popular cause. ~As it is, however, the odorous memory of Fred Rose and Sam Carr hangs a little too closely to the meetings of the soâ€"called ‘"Porcupine Consumers‘ League." Until they do, we are all going to suffer. But if the future appears too black, and the present too unbearable, some solsce may be gained from the fact that Canadians are probably betterâ€"fed, better clothed, better housed, and receive better value for what money they have to spend, than folk in any other country of the world. are so predominantly made up of a number of Laborâ€"Progressive (communist) supporters. We believe everyone would have been better satisfied if the governâ€" ment had been able to keép price levels â€"â€" and wage levels â€"â€" as they had been, until preduction of gosds had got properly under way. Manuflacturers might then have had a chance to make a profit which would enable them to pay higher wages, and the supply of goods would be sufficient to keep prices in line. Full production has yet to be obâ€" tained, workers have yet to receive all the benefits they seek, and conâ€" sumers finds goods are scarce and expensive. So prices have yet to find their proper level. The solution will appear, we be.ieve, only when full production is attained in all industries, Then, when store shelves and showrooms are adequately stocked, prices will seek a level where they will appeal to the average consumer, and the cost of living will become sufficiently stabilized to enable government to withdraw from its unnatural interâ€" ference with the normal channels of trade. We have nothing to say, for or against strikes. The workers involved have a right to get what they can for themselves. But it would be apparéent that no one group of people can gain much without affecting in some degree the living costs of others. _ And at the cther end of the stick we have the consumersâ€"â€"much the same group of people, if we but realized itâ€"â€"asking for lower prices on the goodsâ€"processed by the higherâ€"paid workers, and. askingâ€" that the government subsidies be kept in force â€"â€" which is another way of esking that taxes be kept up. What is the answer? Surely the modern pattern of industry is ‘sufficiently familiar for most of us to recognize the usual effects of supply and demand. With a world crying for food, for exampie, it is hardly to be expected that prices ‘for foodstufils will do, anything but rise. While the demand continues, the rise can be halted. only by the government, paying a share of the cost in the form of subsidy. But the government has no money. The money paid out in subsidies comes from the tax payers â€"â€" most of it from those in the low and middle incomes groups, because there are so many of us. And paying higher taxes is a poor way of reducing living. costs. * | In the price of manulacturing goods â€"â€" such as washing machines, refrigerators, clothes, homeâ€"furnishings, etc., the pattern stands out as clearly. Except that in this field, continual strikes in one phase of industry or another, have so lowered the normal supply that the situation is worsened. of cars. The manufacturer of automobiles, for example, had first to contend with strikes in his own plant. Then, as he was about to get into proâ€" duction he was afl’ected by the steel strike. And in between, strikes At the other meeting, it was suggested that a buyers‘ strike be staged against the increased price of beef and milk.
