WASHINGTON. December l9.--Main-
tcnance by manufacturers or whole
salers Of agreements with retailers to
sell at specified prices always has been
regarded by tho Department OF Justice
and the Federal Trade Comm ission as
constituting suppression of competition
and restraint OF trade in violation OF
antitrust laws The charges against
Colgate & Co. whose officers were in
dicted at Norfolk. are similar TO those
in the Paris Medicine Company case. in
which the Federal District Court at ST.
Louis recently upheld the govern
mcnts contention completely. anG or
dered dscontinuancc OF resale price
practices.
1t was found that the medicine COM
pany gave extra supplies OF patent
medicines without cost to dealers who
entered into agreements TO maintain
retail prices at rates prescribed by the
manufacturers. The company was en-
joined from :.,aking these agreements
or even "indicatinG' resale prices 10
dealers. The court also forbade such
evasive practices as refusing to sell TO
dealers who would not adhere 10 the
price agreement or maintaining any
other sort OF selling terms discrimi-
mating against cut-price dealer.
