The subway commission should be
composed of honorary members, as is
the case in the public lighting and
other city commissions. The best men

the mayor that the power TO appoint

adopt the Lodge resolution until the
members were more conversant with
the details OF the proposition,

the aldermen that 1t would take sew

that the city would have TO start nm

after the agreement went into effect.
The cross-examination went into
the motives in signing the agreement,
and some OF the witnesses admitted
that the fact that they could not get
goods from the principal manufac-
iturers IL they did not sign was one
OF the reasons why they agreed to II.
The government attorneys questioned
them as TO the provisions for stan
dards in manufacture in the agree
ment, and IL developed that these
provisions were contained in the
price list which accompanied the con-
tract and was considered part OF IL.
The standardization OF list prices and
basic discounts was also admitted as
3 motive in signing the agreement by
some. One OF the witnesses said that
! he was small dealer, and that the
resale agreement allowed him TO com
pete with larger dealers in his field.
