FAILURE OF PRICES TO DECLINE BLAMED ON PRICE GUARANTEE

(AMERICAN WOMAN ELECTIONEERS FOR WETS EN SCOTLAND

WASHINGTON. Oct. 6 Part responsibility for continued high prices was laid today on the trade practice of manufacturers' guarantee against price decline by those who protested against the custom at hearings before the Federal trade commission. More than 200 spokesmen for business interests were present to advise with the commission in formulating a policy on the subject. The statement that prices would have gone down soon after the armistice in many lines had the price guarantee practice been unknown in commerce was brought out In answer to questions by Chairman Murdock,

who asked for opinions on that phase Without exception, opponents of the system declared their belief had been confirmed by breaks in commodities in which the practice was not employed. They cited the sugar and silk markets as typical. Silk Drops Half. James A. Goldsmith, New York, representing the Silk Association of America, said the guarantee could be construed in no other light than as a , means of maintaining a "generally high level of prices and militating against aiy reduction which woujd have followed natural operation of the law of supply and demand." "I would say further," he continued, "that the guarantee against decline not only tends to hold up prices but means that plants will be shut and industry stagnated in order that the guaranteeing manufacturer will not have to dig into his pocket and repay the wholesaler or other purchaser. The plants are shut down and the demand remains, so nrices stay high." Prices Held Up. "What about holding up artificial prices, like war prices, and would they have been reduced except for the price guarantee?" Mr. Murdock inquired. "TTnhesitatingly I would say they would have fallen long ago," Mr. Goldsmith replied. "I would not attempt to say to what extent the guarantee has

maintained the prices, but it. certainly j

haR held them a much longer time than had the old law of supply and demand been permitted to operate." Only two speakers defended the practice, but the'r side of the question will be heard fully today.
