ee ee ents ietannse ASOLO eR BROOKLIN COAL BROKERS’ PROFIT CALED ROBBERY * Prosecutor, After an Inquiry, Urges Immediate U. S. Con- trol for Distribution. Tromediate aseumption of contro! by the Federal Government of the dis- trfbution of hard and soft coal was advocated today by District Attorney Harry FE, Lewis of Kings County, who has fust concluded an exhaustive in- vestigation of the fuel situation in Brooklyn. He has found that coal profiteers are in control of the mar- ket, Dut that because of the inter- etate commerce involved {nthe ‘transportation of coal from the mines to the consumer, the District At- torney of any county In New York is powerless to start prosectitions. District Attorney Lewis's investi- gators established that middlemen or brokers are exacting a profit on anthracite coal that amounts to rob- bery. mines, with all charges cept freight and handling by the dls- tributor, at from $7.40 to $8.10 a ton. In October coal sold at the red ex- Brooklyn from $11 to $16 a ton, the average price ranging from $16 to $16 a ton. In announcing his findings District Attorney Lewis says “Of course, tls condition will ndét attorneys and is an indication of profiteering to an alarming extent, and certainiy merits investigation and prosecution by the Attorney Gon violations, If the Lever Act is of any force at all, thin condition demon- @ rates clearly that those selling coal October for $15 and $16 per ton ‘Were profitecring.”’ “I have read with Interest promise of Senator Calder that if the coal operators and dealers do not @eal fairly with the public he would advocate Federal control with refer- ‘ence to the coal situation. The facts in my possession absolutely demon- atrate the necessity of Federal con- trol at once.” ‘The threat of the Senate Committee on Reconstruction and Production to | th A Lower Price for the i ' a Samé High Quality M4 ry, All wear and no tear for = # * ii ' restless little feet at | 1} school and well behaved an little feet at partics— |, % shoes lasted right, made; | ; M ) right, and priced right. 4; Ir SIZES 8 TO 10% a fi Laced Models of Tan or Black Russia Ns if Calf, or Black Patent Leather with Ri 4, White or Black Calfskin Tops Ri { CHILDREN’S SHOE SHOP—Third Fleer i di The same coal cost consumers in permit of prosecutibn by local district | eral, who bas power to deal with such | j the] Franklin Simon's Co, A Store of Individual Shops FIFTH AVEN UR—37th and 38th Sts.
