DENIED Grocers' Secretary and Banker Answer Treas ury Department CHARGE CALLED UNFAIR EVENING PUBLIC LBDGER-P6ll;ADEi;PHtA", SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1918 ' i'vri Mi Food Dealers Make Less Than Ever, Says Schoch Nich olson Defends Bankers SOLPIER HEROES Ttenn Schoch. ncrrctary of the Retail Orocers Association of Philadelphia, which has a. momhenihlp of nearly 1800, today asserted that It Is unfair for the Treasury Department to draw a blanket Indictment nftalnst American business, "The Treasury Department's report," Fald Schoch, "makes the assertion that food dealers arc making as high as 600 per cent. To say that that charge ap plies to Philadelphia would be absurd It must be borne In mind that the Fed eral food administrators in tlili city are very active and for months have been checking up on the profits of food dealers. "Now the grocers are up against It, for the cost of labor In the last five years has more than doubled, while the cost of foodstuffs has Increased 67 per cent It Is Impossible for the grocers to Increase retail prices to an extent that will en able them to make the profits that ac crued to them In normal times Agents I.ltnlt rroflt "Agents of the food commission are on the job continually and limiting profits. In the central section of the city, where operating expenses arc very high, the food administration permits tho grocers to make n gross profit that In some Instances reaches 2G per cent. I'ttt me average cash grocer, who Is doing business at a fairly nominal operating expense, Is held down to 15, 18 and 20 per cent. "As It costs the average grocer from 15 to 18 per cent to lo business, one can see that, after operating expenses have been deducted from the gross profits al lowed by the food administration, that there Is but little 1-ft. In n word, the corner grocer Is up against a tough proposition and lonss for tho war's end and a return to normal prices " Penlal 'for flunk "The Treasury Department does not go Into detail concerning Us report, on war profiteering, but I am certain that its charge that banks are making as high us 100 per cent does not apply to Philadelphia," said William It Nichol- I son, president of the Land Title and I Trust Company, after ho had lead the Treasury Department's tcport which i charges that 31,000 corporations arc profiteering. "Banks in Philadelphia," added Mr. Nicholson, "are In a healthy condition, but their profits are not and have not I been abnormal. If what the Trcasuiy I Department says In regard to excessive, bank profits Is true, it probably refers to I New York Institutions. The kind of banking that permits such huge profits Is not done by the local bankers. "Our profits have been noinial, but not excessive, and I don t know of a banking Institution In tho city that can be 'placed In tho Treasury Department's profiteering class." Garment Mnifafnrturera Irate The charge made by tho Treasury De partment that garment manufacturers are reaping war profits that In many Instances reach 700 per cent roused the Ire of Philadelphia manufacturers. They regard the statement as unfair, and as-1 sert that the publication of the charge In such an Indellnlte form places the entire industry In a wrong light with the public. David Kirschbaum, one of the largest manufacturers of clothing 1n the coun try, declined to discuss the report to day. "It is a serious charge," said the manufacturer; "In fact so serious that I shall not talk for publication until 1 have had a better opportunity to study the report." Doctor Ktne 1'uzzletl Dr. Clyde I. King, of the Federal food administration, who has supervision live r dairies In eastern Pennsylvania, failed to understand how it was pobxlblc for the dairymen to garner huge profits. "In 1917," said Doctor King, "the con denscrs of milk made big profits, but In my opinion they were the only men con nected with the Industry who shared abnormal profits. Investigation will prove that the country dalijinan Is "not making u great dial of money and it Is certain that the Philadelphia milk distributors aic not pioliteerlng."

"Z" AND DAMERY WOOD CAPTURED BY BRITISH By the Associated Press With the llrltli.ll Army In France, Aug. 17 By a brilliant maneuver the French have finally captured "Z" wood and Damery wood. In these two wooded tracts the Germans have been holding out desperately for several daya. Tho little patches of forest are on the extreme right of the British line and from their eastern borders It Is possible to observe closely a wide stretch of ground, The Allied position for several miles on each Bide of the woods has been materially Improved by their cap ture. It has been learned that since August 8 the Germans have employed thirty-six divisions on a front of forty eight miles. Of this number, twenty, one were employed In tho line at the beginning of the Sommo attack and fifteen were brought In as re-enforce-ments. It is learned from prisoners recently captured that the British artillery during tho last few days has caused consid erable destruction within tho enemy lines. Tire British guns have been ei peclally active in searching out German ammunition dumps and a number of them have been destroyed. It was par tlally for doing Just this work that such speed wob made In tho forward move ment of the guns. From tho start of the effenslve not a moment has been lost In moving up the artillery.

War Profiteers Hit Public Hard Continued from Page One war profiteering has been given I'oii- ( gress recently In compliance with a resolution lequesttng it. I In citing i-ertnlu Industries or oiu merco classifications as containing the largest percentage of profiteers, thei Treasury Department has made it clear i that not all Individual business is in these groups have gathered In swollen I earnings. This Is true particularly of coal i operators, some of whom made enormous ' profits, often several hundred per cent higher than good earnings of former' years', while others made barely enuugh to pay Justified dividends. I With few exceptions, manufacturers' of clothing and shoes reported big profits, This was true of most concerns holding. Government contracts. Scores of income repqrts from suit, shirt, underclothing nnd shoe manufacturers showed earnings' of from 30 to 100 per cent. In Invested I capital. Lumber production, stimulated bj the ' sudden enormous demand rrom canton mentH and other Government operations, notted forest and sawmill owners as well as distributors profits several times above normal ears. Illc Profit In Mining j Despite high cost of labor and other factors entering Into mining, the Treas ury Department analysis shows that ' very few iron, copper or alumium mines ' failed to make tremendous profits for their owners under the Government pol-1 icy of stimulating production. Automobile and motor truck mnnu-' facturlng was highly profitable, some ' making as high as 5 oper cent on invest ments and others less thun 10 per cent. Head Food Prntltert Meat packers, flour millers and cunners apparently stood at the top of the list of food profit-takers, according to In come returns. Farmers also made money heavily last year, but not enough of their returnB have been analyzed to Jus tify a general'statement of their profits, officials say. Profiteering was by no cans confined to big business Interests. Small scale producers in thousands of cases reported profits equal to tho aggregate from five to ten years's earnings before the United States entered tho war. Names Not Divulged More than 300 clerks of the Internal Revenue Uureau have been employed In tabulating Income returns for the last six weeks, end transmitting these in weekly or bi-weekly Installments to the Snate, where the reports now are be ing prepared for examination by" the Senate Finance Committee In connection with Its consideration of the new reve nue bill.
