Providence March 20 The next step in the campaign against profiteers targets manufacturers who reap excess profits and evade state commissions. Addison P. Munroe, chairman of the Rhode Island federal fair price committee, says investigations show the need to go deeper to factories outside the state. The panel has faced early retailer opposition yet reports cooperation now as it probes over 200 cases. In clothing a fair profit is 38 percent and 3h percent for shoes, with coal price investigations at $16 a ton. Housing and rent profiteering fall under federal, not state, jurisdiction.
