BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 OS-Liquor black markets that had threatened to bring back the racketeering of the Ws have been virtually wiped out by law, enforcement- operations of trw. past 10 mohths which have net ted more than $1000,000 in fines, sent many to prison and prompted damage actions for more than $30,000,000. A recent report from the office of price administration describes how 'the law descended upon price and liquor law violators all over the United States when shortaees and price - raising broueht on an epidemic of black marketing and bootlegging late last vear. Fines and penalties ranged from $100,000 and 30 days in Jail, imposed upon the president of a liquor firm, down to suspended sentences for petty violators. The president of an import ine company was given 18 months without alternative of fine and his secretary-treasurer a year and a day, while the Urn and its officers were fined $54, 000. This racketeering was on u higher scale than in the old smuggling and bootlegging days, with prominent organizations concerned 'in a get-rich-qulck scheme at the expense of the thirsty public. High Prices Paid Through collaboration down the line from maker to Importer to retailer the price regulations were so circumvented that con sumers were paying as high as $14 a bottle for whiskey on which the celling price was $4.60. The OPA and treasury depart ment worked out a master plai. for lighting the new racket, and, aided toy the Alcohol Tax unit of the Internal Revenue Depart ment, the Justice Department, state liauor boards and local en forcement officers, claim now to have crushed the major rings. There are still plenty of viola- tlons and some of the ring leaders are still at large with many charges outstanding against them. But officials say the large scale operations have been brok en up. Liquor now is moving through normal channels to leg Umate dealers and customers and at celling prices. One of the evils overcome by these operations was the strategy of "up-branding" by intro duction of a flood of new and previously unknown labels. These were placed on ordinary liquor which sold at unreasonably high prices free of restrictions. This could happen because th. OPAv never having heard of the new brands, would not have rix-ed a celling price. When they got around to doing so a fresh flock of new brands would appear.
