Furnishing Profiteers.

News of the conviction of a group Of
shoe profiteers in Boston comes stimuli
taneously with the announcement that
a squad of department of Justice IN
vestigators are about to begin in this
city an investigation into the prices of
food and other neCeSsaries of life. Here
is comforting assurance that such in
vestigations are not altogether use
less.
But the Boston case does not hold
out high hopes to mulCted public
Shoe dealers who were proved to have
eXacted 500 per cent profit on their
wares, who instructed their salesmen
to charge as much as the buyer would
stand, who sold a shoe--costing 1925
wholesae-to one customer for $3.50 and
to another for $10.9S-such unscrupu-
lous profiteers were let off with
fine Of thousand dollars each. 1t is
clear that profiteering could, II its
scale be large enough, be continued at
handsome profit in spite of such
fines as these.
The courts must come to realize along
with honest business men all over the
country that profiteering is more Sc
rious than a personal offense and calls
for drastic punishment. 1t Is strang-
ling American business and is promot-
ing industrial unrest. Unquestonaby it
must be dealt with by the courts In
stern, exemplary fashion.-Philadelph
