Miners in the Anzin Basin have vol-

yesterday showed about 35 per cent. of

Hartford, May 5.-—A list of maximum
percentages of gross profits for amen?
tial commodities is to be announcad I!”
the Connecticut fair price commisslw
er, “'illiam S. VVhltmoro. He made
this announcement today following his

officials. An advisory committee will.

"A great part of the unrest. strike!
and activities of ‘Rcds' is due directly
to the high com of the necessaries of,
life," said Mr Whitmore. ”The high.
cost of labor makes the cost of 11190913‘
sarics higher. but if We are to arrival
at allv condition of contentment there
must not be an unreasonable spread
between the production cost and that
pricc to the consumer. Under lg: Lev.
or act it is unlawful for any he on t.-
makc an unjust or unreasonable profit
in handling any ncccssries. A‘ny per»
sons convicted of violling this law may
be fined not. exceeding $5,000 or be im-
prisoned not more than two years of
both.
”The coropt’ ration of the merchant.
of the, state is important. almost neces»
sary. for successful results in thin
work. The present excessive high
cost of living menaces directly or indi-
rectly the contentment and prosperity
of all our people. It is an emergency
situation demanding for its relief "In
sincere efforts of all.”
