ITALIAN PROFITEERS MAY BE CURBED BY SPECIAL COMMISSION (J3y Associated Press) ROME, May 20. An' attempt is being made here to curb outrageous exactions of profiteers by establishing arbitral commissions which have power to compel traders to refund exorbitant profits and to impose unusual form of punishment. One method of bringing profiteers

to terms is to first compel them to restore their ill-gotten profits and then display for one month in their

shops an official account of their

gouging methods and the punishment imposed upon them . -

These steps are the results of public exasperation over the excessive

profits taken by retailers. The Italian government first tried other methods to shame the Roman

shopkeepers into charging only a fair

and honest profit. One of these ef

forts was to compel the retailers to publish the price -they asked for ev

ery article; but it was of no avail.

Now the people are resorting to the

new provincial arbitral commission

which seems likely to achieve results.

.Compelled to Refund

One of the cases recently handled by the commission was that of two chemists who had charged from 478

per cent to 90O per cent profit. One of the chemists had charged a purchaser $7.90 for a tube of anti-diph-

theretic serum which had cost him 90

cents wholesale.

The arbitral commission compelled

him to restore to the buyer all ex

cept 100 per cent profit and the drug

gist was compelled to hang in his shop a record of the case against him. In another ease a wholesale stationer, who had charged a profit of $8.25 on a quire of paper was com

pelled to refund all except a fair profit. The actions of the commission are bailed with delight by people of the middle class, who have felt more se verely the exactions of the profiteers. Their incomes have not increased in proportion to those of the wage earners, who now are paid from seven to nine times as much as before the war.
