In all, "treble damages totaling mure than $2,000 have recently been awarded individuals and organiza tions in Puerto Rico against local merchants for selling consumer goods "^bove ceiling prices,” accord ing to an announcement made by OPPA through the OWI press re lease. "In August, 1M3. the largest treble damage suit filed to that date In Puerto Rico was instituted in the amount ol |3,700 plus $1,850 for lawyers' fees. The spit was filed in the Insular District Court of Maya- guez against Vienveniuo Silva Suc- cesors, retail merchants of M^a- guez, by the Phi Eu Mu Fraternity ol the College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts of the University of Puerto Rico on alleged charges of having sold numerous commodi ties St prices In excess of those fix ed by the OPA. Early In October, the same merchants paid out $1,600 in settlement of this suit. “As a result of the Intervention of OPA officials, treble damage coi.Tpensatlon amounting tq $350 was paid to seven low-income con sumers from San German. Puerto Rico, by local milk retailers.” Now, goods news for the colored I>eople anywhere is good news for the colored peoples everywhere particularly since the colored peo ples are robbed by thieving, high jacking merchants whether they live In Puerto Rico or Pennsylvania, in China or the CaroUnas. Suppo' i that the OPA started in- stltuing ireble damage suits against the whip-hlsUng gentlemen who run the plantation commissaries down In Georgia and Arkansas?
