ELECTRIC LAMP TRUST
is HOLDING UP PRICES

MARQUETTE, Mich, Dec. 9.-As
far as Superintendent Charles Retail
lie, of Marquette's municipal light
ing plant, has been able to discover,
the recent alleged victory OF the gov
ernment over the combination that
controls the product of incandescent
electric lamps was an empty one II
is now two or three months since 1t
was announced that the combine ha
been smashed. but there had been no
evidence OF tangible results that The
Marquette purchasing department Las
been able to observe. Prices have
held steady at the old figures. There
is no more real competition in the In
dustry than there was before the gov
ernment won its victory"
'The selling agents OF the various
companies are being notified tn7. All
contracts they make are subject TO
modification Jan. II. and | suppose
there will be some developments
about that time" said Mr.. Retallic.
81 do not expect, however. that there
will be any price reductions on in
candescent lamps, but believe the
changes will be in the form OF the
contract. In the past the manufactur
ers established a standard price for
their lamps from which retailers were
not allowed 10 depart. IL is likely this
practice win be given up and the re-
'talera will be allowed to sell at what
ever prices they desire to make but
i doubt If there will be any change in
the industry of any significance, other
than that. The entire electric appli-
ance BUSINESS is being continued on
practically the old basis"
