PROFITEERING IN BRITAIN
DENOUNCED BY DRAPERS’ CHAMBER. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. 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 not justification to increase the price of drapery above 5 per cent. It was stated that wholesalers and retailers were exacting rises of 20 to 25 per cent. The “Daily Herald” says the meanest type of profiteering is occurring in goods required for air raid precautions, including black cloth used for darkening windows.
