BUSIESS TOLD TO OBEY ONE- PRICE LAW

Trade Publications Advise Compliance Pending Court Rulings.

BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Business men, confused and alarmed by disputes among their lawyers over the meaning of the Robinson-Pat-man price discrimination act, ate now being advised by trade associa tions and business publications to comply with the spirit of the law and forget technicalities until the Federal Trade Commission and the Supreme Court Rave passed on some of them. The debate over the meaning of the law has brought about a condition of near-panic, with many

.| business men fearing disruption of

the present system of distributing goods.

The trade - commission has declined to give any “advisory opinions” as to what is and what is not legal under the act, and while it has begun work on a series of test cases it will be a year or more before a verdict on any of them is received from the Supreme Court. Lawyers Disagree In general the act provides that no person selling a commodity may discriminate between his customers in price, or in any of the factors which go to make up price, where the effect may be to lessen come petition. But when the merchants start asking to what extent this bans discounts for big purchasers as against small ones, different prices for goods of slightly different quality or for goods of: the same quality labeled different, hidden brokerage come missions and - fees, advertising allowances and other service pay= ments, transportation allowances, ' bonuses, prizes, rewards and premiums—then is when the lawyers disagree. In its latest issue the Magazine of Wall Street counsels “reasonable effort to comply with the spirit of the law,” and undertakes to dissipate some of the current anxiety,

Urges Ban on Secrets

‘The Robinson-Patman law should not bring paralysis or cone sternation to the distributing trades, but it should bring a complete over= hauling of all selling practices for the purpose of eliminating or modi= fying any which cold reasoning ine dicates are causing price discrimie nation which lessens competition,” it says, : “Compliance can best be gained by eliminating all secret arrange ments, by making public all price schedules, discounts and terms and adhering to them impartially. : “Chain stores, mail order houses and other big retailers will not be put out of business by this law, but, at least temporarily, they may lose some of their special discounts and allowances. Some think chains will be driven to doing their own manufacturing or buying manufacturers’ complete output, but other economists discount this, “Prices in general may ‘rise a little during the early stages of the law, but after competition becomes equalized no marked effects on prices is expected.

Co-operation Seen “If the act is strictly interpreted and applied literally to every detail of our complicated system of distribution, it will undoubtedly wreak havoc and may do much more harm

| than good "through disruption of

long-established practices. There is little indication that this will be done, in spite of the alarm in many quarters. - If the bulk of business attempts to comply with the spirit of the law, the government may bs counted on to do the same.” Business Week likewise assures its readers that there. “is a new, though still shaky, confidence that a rule -of reason will prevail” in en-

-| forcement of the law, and that “es-

tablished trade practices which the law seeks to regulate—advertising allowances, quantity and special discounts, brokerage payments—will not have to be too drastically over= hauled.” The National Retail Dry Goods
