TOWN IN SPAIN HAS PUT ALL THEIR BAKERS IN JAIL
Calahorra, Spain (JFK+50) On October 14, 1925, Associated Press reports that the town of Calahorra* "has plenty of flour, but nobody to knead and bake it."
The reason is because the bakers have all been put in jail for refusing to sell bread "at a price fixed by the municipality."
When the bakers are released, the city has threatened to seize the bakeshops if they continue to refuse to comply with the set price scale.
In the meantime, bread is being supplied to Calahorra from neighboring towns.
*Calahorra is located on a hill in the province of La Rioja, Spain at the confluence of the Ebro & Cidacos Rivers.
