FIXED PRICES ON
 GOODS ARE URGED
National Chamber of Com nerce Discusses Establish
 ed Re sale Figures

Washington, Feb. 1s-The Chamber Of Commerce of the United States be- gan its concluding session here today with g discussion of the maintenance vies, federal commissioner Of corpora dons.
 .eIhe discussion today,,s said MT. Da- zvies, sis addressed to the right of the manufactures to establish at success i've stages the resale price of the shall be binding through. the various stages, even to the extent Of being binding upon the retailer in his final resale of the goods to the consumer.
 This practice has obtained in the past with reference to patented ar tic1es as well as to those non-patent- ed and has developed with the devel- opment of modern advertising meth ods.
 Tor number of years it is alleged that the decisions handed down by the lower courts were generally favor able to resale price maintenance as to copyrighted and patented articles. Tn recent decisions of the supreme court Of the United States. however, the practice of fixing resale price has been declared Illegal.
 sIt is now urged that this practice should be. sanctioned by law and that an express statute should be enacted to give the manufacturers under cer- tain restrictions the right to fix the price at which the articles of their manufacture, respectively, should be finally sold to the consumer.
 The bureau of corporations is now engaged in making an exhaustive study Of the question from an ecoro- mic point of view. For that reason express no opinion upon the merits of the question at this tinne''
 Donald Dey, of Syracuse, N. r. spoke particularly from the retailers point of view.
 Whether we realize it or not said NIT. Dey, I've are all deeply concern ed in all laws that seek to control the manufacturer. We cannot separate ourselves from the effect of laws de< signed to curtail legitimate operation or expansion.
 Tt seems to me that the Shern1a n law was not designed to prohibit So reasonable an item in practical busi- ness as an agreement to sell spool of thread at five cents.
 I've hear of scientific methods in business. The word efficiency rings in our ears. Sure this is a new era and we will see the advantage to be gained from a maintenance of a price where the price of an article it req sonab1e and the interests Of the con- sumner =safeguarded.'

Bridgeport

is a city of factories. Every worker knows that when an article is first brought out that the first few 1nanufac- tured are crude and expen- sive, but as production grows the cost is brought down to a minimum and the quality and workmanship improve. Every housewife has asked this question of a salesman, How much do I save ifEI buy 8 dozen9 In every mind is the knowledge that if we would have quail ity the. only way to save is to buy in quantities. Besse System is chain of stores combined for one purpose
 to buy the best merchandise obtainable, in quantities to keep down the cost and eIina- mate the road salesman and the mid dd1eman. Every arti- c1e that men and boys wear; clothing, furnishings, hats and shoes is bought by Besse System and distributed to it's 43 stores SO that you may benefit by quantity buying. 43 men have combined their business knowledge to save money for you. Are you. ready to see for yourself what they can do for you2

 DIED. =
SAYS HUSBAND GOT
 DIVORCE BY FRAUD; WANTS IF ANNULLED

Upon the ground that she had been deceived regarding the date of her divorce trial and thereby prevented from attending the hearing, Anna Kuehner of New Bedford, Mass, has asked the superior court to set aside the. decree which Henry Kuehners of this city recently obtained from her in this city.
 Mrs. Kuehner has made an affida- wit in which she swears that she and her husband lived together after the time when the suit was brought. When she appeared at the court house at the time of the: trial she was informed that it had been con tinued because her husband was ill in the hospital. The next thing she heard was that Kuehner had obtained a divorce. She was prepared to con- test the suit, Mrs. Kuehner says. At torneys F'allon & Greenstein repre- scented Kuehner at the divorce trial but they deny diseu ussing the case with Mrs Kuehner on the day. she men, lions.
 The motion to have the decree set aside was on today's short calendar list but was continued. |
