The exercise of such regulation Is especially needed in times of shortage and wildly fluctu- ating prices. “When real competition for the purchasing tonnage exists, such com- petition is probably the cheapest and nost efficlent regulator of wholesale margins, but in times of shortage it falls entirely. It may, therefore, be desirable to set up skeleton reguld- tive machinery which shall be put in operation when and only when in the judgment of the president an emergency exists.” 4 ‘ Taking 1913 as a base, the commis- zion found that the average whole- saler, who distributed coal without physically handling the shipments, made a profit of 3.6 cents per ton handled, and made an annual return on, total capital invested in his busi- ness of 19 per cent. In 1920 the 333 wholesalers in the United States whose books the commission examin- ed, toak a/profit of 15 cents per ton, and made 58.2 per cent on'the capital vested in their business. The year. 1920, however, was the “banner year'” in the business, the report said, add- ing tHat the flgures were amaller in other years. Much Hi Boosts Prices The chief addition to coal prices, the commission found, resulted from the handling about of coal shipments during shortages from one wholesale to another, with two, three and some- times four ‘wholesale profits being taken en route. Its inquiry resulted in the tracing out of a.large number of such operations, particularly in- volving-anthrasite shipped to New England during the winter of 1922-33, after the coal strike, “It. resulted in the uncovering of hidden niargins taken by dummy con- cerns or closely affiliated wholesal- ers, mine operators, or individuals, the commission said. “In a consider- able number of cases, wholesalers ‘whose names were at first not re- ported, have been uncovered some- where between the mines and the re- tailer. Specific examples of this hid- den profit taking and ways in which such profits were taken arc described. ‘“The maximum number of whole- salers intervening between the mine and the: retailer was found to be four.” i The American Wholesale Coal as- sociation, the commission declared, had advocated an unfair profit atand- ard. Turning to the retailer, the commis- sion remarked that criticism of prices there was frequent, sometimes well founded, but often based on “lack of knowledge that causes are beyond control of the retailer.” Better pub- lic understanding and local treatment of the problems were advocated. Average rates of retail profits on coal since 1918, the commission sald, have been ‘“genérally moderate and much less than those of wholesalers.” United Sl:fltes-fl‘lining um locks, plaster of ans, dental plaster, agricultutal gypsumetc Burritt School Teachers To Give Minstre’l Show Under the direction of Miss Cath- erine McIntyre the faculty of the Elihy Burritt Junior high school has started rehearsals for a minstrel show to be held in the school auditorium Friday evening, November 2.
