TRADE BILL AT DINNER

use the reputation Of such reliable

and to deceive them into believing
that all their goods offered for sale
are sold at the same low rate Of
profit. On the other hand, the large
mall order houses and such large
stores as Marshall Field and Com
pany. Il. H. Macy and Company and
others OF like calber bitterly oppose
the bill. claiming that Il would per-
init the manufacturer Of every artl-
Gle bearing trade mark to fix the
price of the same even after Il had
passed into the hands ot the retail
merchant-that II Is In
Restraint OF Trade
and against the Sherman antitrust
law; that the parties promoting the
bill are the large manufacturers OF
branded articles, that II would per-
init these manufacturers to control
tho wholesale and retail prices OF
those goods even after they had
passed Into the hands OF the mer-
chants. that the bill Is broad enough
to cover every manufactured article
which bears the trade mark and that
IL Il becomes n law, every manufae-
turer could obtain trade mark for
his product and thereby bring Il
within the provisions OF the law. We
would then find the wholesale and
