EFFORT IN BRITAIN AGAINST
PROFITEERING
LONDON, September 19
Typifying the widespread effort to stamp out profiteering, a meeting of the Drapers' Chamber of Commerce strongly denounced profiteering, and agreed that there was no justification for increasing the price of drapery by more than 5 per cent. It was stated that wholesalers and retailers were exacting rises of 20 to 25 per cent.
The "Daily Herald" says that the meanest type of profiteering is occurring in goods required for air-raid precautions, including black cloth used for darkening windows.
