PROFITEERING FIRMS IN ’
1 * _ j
U.S. TO BE INVESTIGATED
WASHINGTON, July 1— The Federal Trade Com
mission lias reported to the Senate that it believes Amer
ican industries are profiteering and taking advantage of i
the war pressure for heavy production. The Commission'
says that many corporations are showing an inordinate
greed and hare-faced fraud.
The Senate this afternoon asked the \\ ar Department
and the commission for a full report against profiteering i
firms and a report will then he submitted after an invest!
igation is made.
The Federal Trade Committe told the Senate that the
meat packers a id allied industries, also flour millers, were i
making a heavy profit. Low cost concerns were also mak
ing heavy profits, according to the commissioners. The
government fixed costs for the whole country should bo
investigated which would also include the big salaries
officials of many companies are receiving for doing noth- i
ing. concludes the report of the commission.
WAR SUFFERERS GIVEN MORE PENSION. I
NEW Y ORK, Julv 1— Because of a great distress i
prevailing among German war sufferers dependent on pen
sions, oecause of the depreciation of money, the imperial
committee for the welfare of war sufferers has suggested
to the Prussian War Ministry that special allowances be
made in addition to all war pensions, says the Berlin
Tageblatt.
