FIRST PROFITEERING
INDICTMENT BROUGHT
78 Per Cent Profit Made On Shoes,
Basis Of Charge.

Columbus, Miss, June 8.-The
first indictment in Mississippi for
Iprofiteering in violation of the Lever
act was reported today to the fair
price commissioner, Thomas J. Locke.
The federal grand jury at Oxford
brought into open court an Indictment
against H. and j. Friedman, mer-
chants of Oxford and owners of the
Leader Department Store OF that
place.
The Friedmans are charged in the
indictment with profiteering in shoes.
lit being alleged that they sold shoes
lin one specific instance at profit OF
l78 per cent. The Friedmans were
Lplaced under arrest some weeks ago,
charged with violations of the Lever
act and were released at that time
under bond to await the action OF the
federal grand jury.
Commissioner Locke stated that
other prosecutions would follow soon'
Agents of the Department of JUS
| tice testified before the grand jury
against the Friedmans, giving the
Jury evidence which had been collect
ed against the alleged violators Of the
law.
The jury acted promptly, finding its
indictment within two hours after it
had been convened. Commissioner
! Locke said tonight that some mer-
chants in the state had been inclined
to disregard the orders of the COM
missioner following the failure OF the
grand jury in Jackson to indict al
legged profiteers in that city, having
been encouraged and prompted to this
course by statements published by
newspapers. He said that fragrant
and wilful violations of the law would
be vigorously prosecuted. Following
the publication of the statements in
Jackson derogatory to the work OF
the fair price commission. Mr.. Locke
gave statements to the press warning
merchants against violations of the
Lever act and telling them that viO-
lations would not be tolerated.
Mr.. Locke stated tonight that it was
neiher his desire nor the desire OF
the government to persecute anyone
or to molest or disturb legitimate
business in any way. but he stated
most emphatically that the people
would be protected and that fragrant
and wilful profteering in violation OF
the Lever act would not be tolerated.
He said that other indictments would
follow the Oxford action where evi-
dence of violations Of the law suffi-
cient to warrant indictments are
presented to him.-Columbus Core

When the above report was sub
United to Mr.. H. Friedman, he stat
ed to an Eagle representative that
he was in possession of evidence
(which would convince the people and
the court that he was in the bounds
of the law at all times, and that he
would give out a statement to appear
in the Eagle next week. In the mean
time he asks that the public with
hold judgment. pending facts in the
matter.
