Trade Commissioner Stunped.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l.
What is unfair competion?'
! The federal trade commission, after
months Of trying to find out, Is about
where it began on that question. Ask
member what Is unfair competition,
he'll parry with the plea that you ask
him about some individual case
Complaints to the commi ssion show
that every sort Of competition which
can't be met seems unfair to the man
who can't meet It; and the defenses of.
fered indicate that anything goes In
the rough and tumble game of bust
ness.
In the new cafeteria stores in some
places in the east, man may go in,
help himself and be checked out at
the door. That makes It possible. say
the merchants, to sell Is cent art
icle for 10 cents. Grocers brand such
competttion unfair. ...
Or take the chain-stores, buying III
large quantities at cut prices, even on
standard articles. Ordinary retailers
launch and cave considerably when
they write the commission about
establishments. They tell about the
big concern which sells 20 cent art.
Iicle for Is cents in one town and for
rs cents in another, to crowd out a
competitor in the Is cent district
Were big and entitled to take ad.
vantage of our bigness." such concerns
tell the commission.
Then there's the man who finds that
someone is initiating his first class
goods and selling slightly under his
price: the man who makes a standard
article and cannot keep some retailers
from knocking cent or two off its
price to attract other trade
There have been approximately 100
types of complaints filed, ranging in
merit from what the commission con
siders merely case of more efficient
business conduct to a number of cases
OF downright skull duggery. There
are state court decisions on many
cases, SO that what is not fair in one
state Is o. k. in another.
| Wherefore the invitation. If any
one thinks he knows what is unfair
competition. win he kindly drop line
or two to the commission?

not run as fast, nor are they as agile az

the effect OF age. The digestion resents

comply with the game laws. The pen
