THE CHAIN STORE PARADOX
^
}
"Six AUentown Chain St'jres Close  in  tax anticipation".
"F. W. Woolworth Co. purchaser of a Hamil¬ ton Street property at a record price of ^>,ooo per foot." - (ProI>al)ly in anticipation of fur¬ ther Increase in business volume,'. Indeed, here is a strange Chain Store i>arad. ix; the world's mightictt live and ten cent chain stores paying record prices for property for expansion purpt»set and the world's mighti¬ est chain food store* closing up shop and throwinjj, so they would have the rest of the world Lelieve, great numbers of people oat of work.
"Better to have a large number of small capitalists than a few large ones," was Governor Earle'* retort to the threat hy the chain food stofcs that they would cl'>se up their stores rather than pay the chain store tax invoked by the Pennsyl¬ vania legislature. On the face of things, one might assume that the chain food stores agree with the Governor. Xo one •eems to take their threat of creating: unemployment or caus¬ ing the price of food ttufFt to rite seriously. No one seems to believe that they are sincere in the closing gesture. But great numbera appear greatly interested in the large amount of n»oney apent by the chains trying to defeat the tax. They tent out huge volumes of paid newspaper pMpaganda in an cfTort to cause fear of higher prices for food stuiTs among coniumert. Their high priced lobbyists connived night and day for weeka in Harrlsburg in the effort to devise ways and meana to induce legitlatora to vote against the tax—and they ftuccccded, almost, but not quite.
In Bethlehem four chain stores have been closed. In Phila¬ delphia and Mtrrounding districts, in the neighborhood of 150 American and A. & P. food stores have been closed, Execu- tivea of these two chain stores issued carefully prepared state¬ ments to the press, in which they professed to shed crocodile tears for the poor clerks who are jobless as a result of the closings. No mention is made of the fact')ry worker, the fac¬ tory operator, the producer, all of whom are too often the vic¬ tim* of monopoly compelling increased production at reduced costs. Nor is any mention made of secret rebates causing the small food store operator to break tlie point of his pencil trying to 'figure out how it's done'.
Before taking the statements of the chain food st tc execu¬ tives too seriously it is well to remember several things: Gov¬ ernor Earle charged that the chain food st<jrcs esca|>ed their just share of the tax burden by their corporate practices and they never refuted him; Governor Earle charged tliat six of the twelve executives of one of the big chain fwd stores were non-residents of Pennsylvania and drew down salaries of $100,000 annually even during the depression and he was not .refuted; Governor Earle charged that during the depression when other businesses were going under right and left, the chain food stores continued to earn many millions annually in

The point that is causing a delay Ul the official acceptance of the ambulance by the Borough Is the fact that the Borough Fathers were never spproached as to wbo should
