WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Price
"iugglery"-an alleged practice OF
ohain-stores, cut-price houses and
other large commercial institutions
was bitterly condemned here today by
William II. lngersoll, a New York
member Of the American Fair Trade
League, before the annual convention
Of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. Mr. Ingersol appeal
ed to the convention to recommend
legislation by Congress TO destroy the
ruthless use OF price-cutting and pre-
vent the people from being deceived
into thinking that they were obtaining
special values when as matter Of
fact they were merely being "baited.
Such practices" he declared, fur
