at the cannery, independent boat, gear
and fuel, is 32c and 9c. When these
prices were announced it was em
phatically stated that any one paying
more would be subject to penalties
prescribed by the food administration.
Other complaints of persons paying
more than the government price are
now being Investigated. The food ad
ministration Is determined to protect
those buyers and cannerynten who
are abiding by the regulations.
Bloch has been directed to dispose
of all fish in his possession or under
his control and to discontinue his
business and ho has been w'arned
against any attempt to evade the In

Banker Had to
Disgorge Wealth |

AMSTERDAM. Sept. 20 (by mail. £
The experience of an Austrian banker £
with Bolshevik methods when he made
a business trip to Kast Russia recently £
is the talk of the Vienna Bourse, ad £
vices received here state.
The banker was arrested and in- £
terned. Disguised as a peasant, he
escaped with 10,000 rubles in his pos-1 £
session. He fell in with a company £
of Bolshevik!, who, despite his pro-, £
tests, took and divided the contents j £
of his pockets. I £
"Share and share alike is the rule £
here.” they explained, handing him £
back his "share." which was only a I £
tenth of his capital.
Soon, though, his fortunes took a £
turn for the better He fell in with £
another band, which added to its £
ranks a ragged individual from whose £
pockets 100,000 roubles was extracted £
This sum was pooled and carefully dl- £
vided. and the banker received a fat £
share. Eventually lie returned to Vi- £
onna with 20,000 roubles.
“There are two sides to commun- £
ism," ho now says.
