ITALIANS SEIZE
GREAT STOCKS OF
WAR PROFITEERS
FLORENCE, Italy.—If Dante Ali
gl'.ieri lived in Florence today he
might be inspired to write another
“Inferno," with shoes as the prime
cause of evil. Nothing has been
so evident during these post-war
days as the need of Italians for
footwear.
The recent public demonstrations
backed by the Camera del Lavoro,
or “chambers of labor,” where
stocks of goods of all descriptions
in the hands of profiteers in many
cities were commandeered and or
dered sold at reduced prices, pre
cipitated' unususa! somersaults of
trade, but the wildest scrambles
were in the shoe stores. Here the
demand for shoes produced scenes of
the wildest disorder.
In Rome, Milan, Forli, Bologna,
and Naples the search for shoes
continued many days. The strug
gles in each city were so great that
few law-abiding persons tried to
procure shoes. There appeared to
be no effort made to fit anyone.
Shoes were handed out in boxes and
the buyers took them, seemingly not
caring whether they fitted or not,
just so they were on the basis of a
50 percent reduction in price. It
was a common sight to see a man
loaded down with shoes for his en
tire family.
To obtain admission to a shoe
store was fully as difficult as buy
ing a ticket for a World series base
ball game. For hours the shoe
hunters would wait in line, guarded 1
by soldiers and police, before they'
were finally admitted to the store
rooms. Shoe merchants fixed ' two 1
hours in the morning and two hours !
in the afternoon for the opening of
their stores, but the long line was
waiting for shoes several hours be-;
fore the scheduled time arrived.
Impatience on the part of the
crowds caused, in most cases, the
summary seizing of goods and the
resort to ransacking. Food stores1
were treated first in this way, but
the lawlessness soon spread to cloth- j
ing and shoe shops. Stores ran- 1
sacked would be depleted of every
commodity — eatable, wearable or
potable. There were examples in
Spezia of carrying out all the com
modities, loading them in a motor
truck and taking them some four
or five miles outside the city for
distribution. Whole hogsheads or'
wine were rolled out of the city in
this way and distributed.
It seemed as though the mobs had
designated for them the stores to
be looted. There was apparently
the most systsematic pillaging of
1 those accused of war profiteering,
i Merchants known to have violated
governmental regulations by selling
prohibited articles during the war
were treated in the same way.
Soldiers sent to restore order in
some cases were charged with ac
cepting gifts from the rioters, and
at other times with filling their
pockets with eatables, including bis
cuits, fruits, nuts, and chocolate.
The new situation created by the
arbitrary commandeerings and fixing
of prices is now beginning to react.
Storekeepers are refusing to run'
their businesses on the new basis,
while there is evidently a general
shortage throughout the various
cities affected by the new economic
changes. Many well-to-do families :
who have always been law-abiding!
have found themselves suddenly un
able to buy food. Some merchants
have closed their shops and gone
to summer resorts in the hope that,'
when summer ends, the eruption I
will have subsided and there will be '
a return to normal conditions.
A new trap at Dali head, near1
Ketchikan, recently caught 50,000
fish at one time. Thirty thousand of
the fish w-ere in the pot and 20,000’
in the spiller.
