OPEN THE IRON DOORS

The press and the consumers OF
this country should unite in de-
termined and relentless effort to pre-
vent profiteering in coal prices this
winter-if we get any coal at all.
Henry Ford has taken the lead in
this movement and has been prompt
ly supported by the city of Detroit.
The coal profiteer will find little
comfort there. He may even find a
few prison bars.
But Detroit hold only tiny pro-
portion of the coal consumers Of the
United States. Though they lose In
Detroit, a few dollars a ton tackled
onto the price Of coal throughout
the country will finch hundreds of
millions of dollars from the pockets
of the consumers and transfer them
to the swollen accounts of the prof
iteerS.
1t is folly to apply persuasive
methods in attempting to prevent
profiteering A profiteer has no con-
science, at best.
Prison cells are the only things
that cause terror to them-the only
curb that will have any lasting eff
feet.
Open the iron doors and shove 'em
in!
If the legal arms of the govern
ment and states fail to prosecute
these birds" then there is drastic
law that applies to dereliction OF
duty.

was gone and while that has been
