CHARGE EXTORTION AT BEACHI,,
New Workers. Are Forced to Pay rs
High as So for Swim.

Taking advantage of the huge
crowds that have been pouring to the
bathing beaches this summer. owners
of bath houses have been raising their
prices to such outrageous figures that
the outcry of the public is justified.
At the municipal bath house at Coney
Island the charge is ten cents on week
days and holidays. while at the priv
1tely owned houses the week day rate
formerly was twenty-five cents ana
the Sunday rate fifty cents
on recent holidays the tariff has
been raised 20 81 and SO for no other
reason than that the owners saw am
opportunity to "bleed" the public.
This system of forcing holiday max
ers to pay thirty times more than tho
charge at the municipal bath house Is
not confined to Coney Island: it has
been copied at almost every beach
near New York,
