PROFITEERS IN AUSTRIA
SALUTARY’ PUNISHMENT PROPOSED. (Rec. January 12, 10.15 p.m.) Vienna, January 11. An inquiry into the cost of living has opened. The Chancellor staffed that a Bill was being introduced into the National Council providing for ten years imprisonment, -and a fine of five million crowns for profiteers. He declared that the great masses of the people were working the hardest, but were unable t'o earn sufficient to procure the barest necessaries. The only remedy was to stabilise exchange. Increased production would mean ample foreign credits. Labour delegates ' demanded the corporal, and even capital, punishment of profiteers.—Reuter.
