PROFITEERING I ' We we told that we are facing a ^ coal shortage. But the shortage of coal is not a -reason for the increase of the price of i-"-< To increase the price of coal would make it possible for the rich to have coal, but it would ^ make it impossible for the poor to purchase it. Tlri, country needs so many tons of coal. The rich and the poor tftt need the coal. The shortage r of coal should not cause the price f to be increased. An increased r price win prevent a just distribu- , tion of coaL s The only legal and just thing that 1 can possibly be done is to distnb- s nie the amount of coal we have among all the people at the same i rate that they would have been < * charged for the coal had there been « a sufficient quantity. I The profiteer who takes advantage of the situation and raises the ' price of coalfis an enemy of the people.

in this country. He has gone unCoal is a necessity. And any man who takes advantage of the man's necessity or of the nth man's necessity to extract from him excessive price for that necessity is at heart a thief. Whatever there-is that can reach htm should be put into operation. There is a just profit that belongs every man for his labor, his talent, his brain; but there has never . existed and there will never exist a condition which entitles any man ■ to excessive profits, to usury, or 5 extortionate demands, for service or : for goods. The profiteer has existed too long I

These wires pass through a maze of cables , | and coils, through delicate apparatus that . must be kept in careful adjustment. And that isn't the end of it, for there must be apparatus to connect each telephone here with any other Bell Telephone in the nation. j The job of building and maintaining this complicated equipment is done by two-fisted men men who think in terms of never failing service. Theirs too is the task of installing new telephones, and of maintaining ihem. In addition to their knowledge of telephone con- s Xstruction one outstanding quality characterizes these : jpf,. men — they are imbued with the spirit of courtesy. 3 1 'J & When they come into your home or your office you fri. £~J them anxious to do their work quickly, efficiThey want you to feel that should they return at some future day you will welcome them.
