Alarmed at rising prices and the protest of housewives, officials are now giving greater consideration to consumer protection. But It was an uphill fight. Industry, l,he big food distributors, ail were against the consumer. And so powerful was their Influence that many administration officials bowed before them. Not even Mre. Roosevelt, first Housewife of the Land, carried weight with certain parts of her husband's administration. For instance, Mrs. Roosevelt, at one of her press conferences made the following statement regarding consumers protection; I think all goods sold to the public should be labelled as to their grades and quality. Without this the consumer cannot know what he is buying. This is the only way the consumer can intelligently have a hold on the market I mean authentic grades and standards. But when the Consumers' Counsel of the AAA picked this up for republication in its bulletin, higher officials in the AAA objected They insisted on censoring the president's wife. So not until to-j-n day was her statement published.

He cited budget estimates and the economy suit, pointing out that the bill, as passed, would force the exceeding of estimated expenditures by $28,000,000. He also rejected the provisions for a restoration of 10 per cent of the 15 per cent paycut inflicted on federal employes by the economy act.

There wag one new thing they brought out in the agreement that seemed pretty fair. That was, that no matter what union, or group, or if none at all, that in any settlement you waa to have representation in proportion to the number of workers in your group.
