Profiteers Branded

Every Baptist church should know
whether any of it's members are en-
gagged in this nefarious business OF
profiteering," said DIR. Batten.
The church should refuse to touch
the dirty money of the people. No self
respecting church would tolerate in i,

guilty of highway robbery or stealing.

blacker aud more sinful than either oil

COAL PRICES
NOT To SOAR
SAYSPA[MER
Hands Off Plea of New
York Dealers Brings
Very Plain Response.
Attempts at rofiteering
Will Be Met With In
slant Action.

Washington, Nov. 2-sueges-
tIon from the Wholesale Coal
Trade association Of New York, that
the government should not set a
minimum price for coal or interfere
with the normal course of supply
and demand during the strike,
brought from Attorney General
Palmer the vigorous assertion that
he would take the same action
against persons enhancing prices
as was taken against the union Of. /.
fIcers.
'.The action OF the government
was taken solely in the general pub
lie interest" Mr.. Palmer declared.
"and | shall not permit it to be used
directly or Indirectly for the bene-
fit of the employers side of the con-
troversy."
A. w. Marshall president of the as
sociation asked Mr. Palmer to recon-
mend that miners who want to work be
given protection and that coal consum-
ers be allowed to obtain fuel through the
usual normal channels. He asserted that
with adequate protection enough Goa
would be produced to meet the emer-
gency. that fixing maximum price would
curtail the operators ability to meet
abnormal production costs caused hy the
strike and discourage their efforts to
continue work; that priority lists would
oyerstock certain consumers and al
low others to go without and that the
fuel control act could be used TO pre-
vent attempts at profiteering.
II am in receipt Of Mr.. Marshall's let
ter, and nm aware Of its contents" the
attorney general replied While. Of
course proper protection will be given
to all miners who are willing to continue
work, it must be perfectly plain to you
that even under such conditions the
supply of coal must be far from normal.
Your proposition amounts, in effect to a
declaration that the coal dealers should
be permitted to take advantage Of the
abnormal conditions and have their
prices based entirely upon the law Of
supply and demand. which is only another
way of saying that they should be per
mitted to charge the public whatever they
pleased,
The demand for fuel will be constant
ly increasing and with the supply de-
creasing, unless there is government
regulation. prices charged the public will
be outrageous and the profits aecruing
to dealers unconscionable. They ought
to be quite as willing as other citizens
to cooperate in the general public well
fare in this emergency, even 10 the ex-
tent of sacrificing profits.
''The action Of the government in re
straining the officers Of the mine work
ers' union from fnrthering the strike or
der already issued was taken solely in
the general public interest and | shall
not permit it TO be used directly or in
directly for the benefit of the en-
ployers' side of the controversy. If
any advantage shall be taken Of present
conditions by any arrangement Of agree
ment Of two Or more persons to stop
