For Price Maintenance.

Speaking in favor OF price mann
tcnance, Mr.. Ingersoll. declared:
Price maintenance is price uni
formity.
1T represents the soundest pos
sible merchandising methods in
that by this method any article oil
known value may pass from man
ufacturer to consumer at the low
est cost for distribution and yet
give each link in the chain of dis
tributors the fairest remuneration
for their services.
Price maintenance prevents
brutal price slashing and rulnous
competition.
ut was by such unfair compe-
tition and price cutting that the
trusts have stified competition and
driven the small business men out
of business.
Price maintenance represents
the combination of competition
and cooperation.
THE present high cost OF living
is due TO the expensive methods
of merchandising, an outgrowth OF
too much competition.

articles to regulate the prices by
which their product may be sold to
wholesalers, to retailers and to the
ultimate consumer.
Charles w. BURNETT, chairman of
the Chambers special committee
which has been handling the local as
sociation's end of the referendum be-
ing taken by National Chamber of
Commerce to determine the senti-
ment of the nations businessmen on
the subject, presided. The local
chamber will vote on the question of
price maintenance within a few days.
Mr.. Ingersoll is a member of the
firm of Robert Fl. 1ngersoll e. Bro,
the watch manufacturers, and is
president of the American Fair Trade
League. He eloquently espoused the
cause of price regulation on the
ground that it represented the best
system for delivering an article from
the producer to the consumer with a
fair remuneration to all who assist in
the work of distribution"
Regulation Is Standardization
In explaining the price maintenance
Mr.. Ingersoll declared that it was
merely price Standardization or price
uniformity. 1t does not represent, he
declared, any effort on the part of
manufacturers to get together to
prevent competition or TO regulate
prices of articles of a similar nature
1t is merely the contention of the
manufacturers that they have the
right to set the price upon any article
bearing their trademark by which
that article may be sold to the whole
saler, to the retailer and later to the
ultimate consumer
He pointed out that the practice of
retailers who advertise some widely
Asnown trade-marked article, the value
spf which is fixed upon the publics
mind. at a price lower than It is
usually sold. that there is some
Interior motive in view. Such mer-
chants, Mr.. Ingersoll declared usually
use such price-cutting tactics to get
customers into their store and then
sell them other articles the value of
which is not determined.
Would Eliminate Unfair Competition
The aim of price maintenance is
to do away with the unfair elements
of price competition. Nothing is more
brutal in American business methods
than mere brute price cutting. We
have all seen how the big combines
have recklessly slaughtered prices
merely to drive the small fellows out
of business"
10 prove MS point, MI. lnSeiSOll
pointed out the recent ruinous rate
war of the big railroads and how
many carriers were subsequently
driven into bankruptcy He also call
ed attention to the tobacco and oil
trusts, which he asserted, gained their
present dominant position by mere
brute price slashing.
Price maintenance brings better
service" the speaker declared, "and
aims at not only mere cheapness."
Price cutting is misleading; it
tends to promote substitution; to
drive an article of well-known and
established value off the market by
ruinous competition, and it tends to
ruin small businessmen.
Kills Rural Merchants
Price cutting hurts the rural mer-
chants and tends to drive people into
the thicllly populated cities by caus-
ing them to believe that they can live

to open a broader outlet to Steelton
and the eastern manufacturing end of
the city via Cameron street. This is
Mayor Meals idea precisely.
THE adoption of such a plan,' said
the city's executive in discussing this
question, would be of untold benefit.
In addition to opening an easier means
OF access to the business district, it
would be of incalculable value so far
as shorter hauls are concerned, and
furthermore it would relieve the ever
growing congestion at the Market
street subway.
To Take Up Tracks
Before this street is improved in
this way. however. / think the unused
trolley lines that now help block up
portions of Paxton, Ninth and a small
section of Berryhill street should be
taken up. They are just dead ends
and of no benefit and they interfere
with the complete use of the street for
vehicular traffic. That's another mat
ter I want to take up with Mr.. Lynch,
concluded the Mayor. 'I want to -alk
with him about having these tracks
removed.
THAT section should be paved and
I've no doubt that the big property
owners who always boost for improve
ments will be perfectly willing to Join
by paving in front of their properties. .

FOR AND AGAINST
PRICE MAINTENANCE
Against Price Maintenance

In opposing passage of any act
which will permit manufacturers
to set prices for resales. Mr.. Hack
er advanced these arguments.
Every merchant should be per-
mitted to regulate the prices of the
goods which he sells to suit the
eXigencies of his trade.
THE courts have decided that
when a manufacturer parts with
an article he also parts with all
rights to it.
The manufacturers have some
Interior motive in seeking by this
proposed legislation to regulate
prices.
THE manufacturers are at
tempting by this legislation to
make the retailer a mere agent
for his goods.
Business is war and always
will be war. Cooperation has
been tried and has failed; will be
tried again and doubtless will fail.
This proposed legislation would
regulate the price for retailers and
wholesalers but not for manufac-
turers.
