D. {. Coffee Company
PenaIized by WPB
As Quota Vio|ator
Swing Firm Accused
OF Sales Exceeding
Limitation Order

The War Production Board
today cited the M, E. Swing Co.,
coffee merchants, 1913 E street
NV, for violation of the coffee
walton program, which
was in effect before the ration
ing system, limiting dealers to
quotas of IS per cent of normal
business.
The Swing Co.. owned and op-
Grated by E. M. Swing. was penalized
by WPB and will be limited to 10000
pounds of coffee a month until
March 81. The penalty order be-
came effective today.
WPB charged that the company
sold in October 28.25O pounds of
roasted coffee in excess of its quota
set by the limitation order It was
further charged the company failed
to file required reports.
The order directed against the
company is in line with WPBs an
nounced policy Of continuing to
penalize known violators of its order
regulating coffee distribution before
the present rationing program went
into effect.
The amount of coffee which deal
ers may sell under rationing is con-
trolled by the f1oWback of coupons
received from customers. The re-
strictions limiting the company to
10000 pounds month. however, will
hold good regardless of the number
OF rationing coupons which may be
presented to them during the next
four months
WPB's order said action of the
company in violating the conserva-
ton measure "hampered and i'm
peded the war effort of the United
States"
Shortly after the OPA announced
several weeks ago that coffee would
be rationed, long lines of customers
formed outside of the Swing store.
The customers we're picketed by
members of the League of Women
Shoppers. whose signs charged the
customers were unpatriotic In at
tempting to hoard coffee.
