It. Necessity to Aid cOurums-.

Many big industries engaged IN
national trade have often in the past
done openly what the small concerns
in their limited fields have done Sc
cretly-varied prices according TO
the degree of competition at different
times and places. Their object has
been to secure the highest price to
be had. irrespective Of whether the
buyer was held up or not.
The principle OF selling goods at a
close margin at one place to meet or
TO kill competition, and charging a
high price, TO make up for 1t, where
little or no competition exists. is eco
nOmically wrong and unfair to the
buyer. Every article offered for sale
should have a uniform price plainly
marked uponit.
Manufacturers will then have TO
see that the price Of their goods is a
reasonable one, so they will sell and
at the same time they will provide
enough profit TO pay the 1obber and
dealer fairly for handling the goods
at a uniform price. This viii in

New York. Aug. 2S-If it were not for
Art Fletcher, the Boston Braves would have
overhauled the Giants long ago. The young
shortstop. always one OF the fastest in
fielders in the league, is doing brilliant work
this year and is a big asset 10 the lIcGraw
club. On at least six occasions. Fletcher. by
marvellous stops and throws, has cut off hits
that would have meant runs for the oppo-
sition. 1t is figured that Fletcher, by max
ing these seemingly impossible plays has
saved at least six games for the Giants
With Artie Shafer on third and Fletcher
holding his regular berth as shortstop the
Giants would be unbeatable.
