 The arbitral commission compelled him to restore to the buyer all ex- cept 100 per cent profit and the druggist was compelled to hang in his shop record of the case against him.

NOVEL METHOD EMPLOYED
 TO CURB ITALIAN PRICES

ROME, May 1-An attempt is being made here to curb outrageous exactions of profiteers by establish. ing arbitral commissions which have power to compel traders to refund exorbitant profits and to impose un- usual forms of punishment.
 One method of bringing profteers to terms is to first compel them to restore their ill-gotten profits and then display for one month in their shops an official account of their gouging methods, and the punish ment imposed upon them.
 These steps are the result Of public exasperation over the ex- cessive profits taken by retailers.
 The Italian government first tried other methods to shame the Roman shopkeepers into charging only q fair and honest profit. One of these efforts was to compel the retailers to publish the price they asked for every article; but it was of no avail.
 Now the people are resorting to the new provincial arbitral commits sion which seems likely to achieve results.
 One of the cases recently handled by the commission was that of two chemists who had charged 476 per cent to 900 per cent profit. One ,f offenders had charged a purchaser
