for which that price was paid, and
to sell coal from now on at $11 per
ton, delivered Failure to obey this
order will mean prosecution on a
criminal charge of profiteering. ida

Ellis Island for deportation. They
have "struck" against being confined

are called they refuse to answer.
Their hearing is to be held but the Of
