TRADE BRIDES
DEMAND CURB.
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSIONS
ASKS CONGRESS FOR LAW
FIXING PENALTIES.

Washington, D. c., May 16.--Enact-
ment Of Insufficient law striking at the
Gnjustiflable and viciousN practices OF
commercial bribery was urged on cor,
gress today by the federal trade COM
mission.
Each person participating in any
such transaction should be reached by
criminal statute, in the opinion Of
the commission, which recounted that
Investigation has revealed commercial
bribery to be general throughout many
industries. Scores of complaints have
been issued against firms guilty of the
practice but the commission. having no
criminal jurisdiction, has been unable
to punish individuals, and has had to
deal with commercial bribery only as
an unfair method of competition.
SEES GERMAN INFLUENCE
1T should be noted" says the come
mission, that the practice appears to
have Been most general on the part Of
concerns introducing the goods and
wares Of German firms"
The commissions recommendation
said in part:
THESE brides take the form of COM
missions for alleged services, Of money
and gratuities and entertainments sof
various sorts and OF loans-all intend
ed to influence such employees in the
choice Of materials.
& 1T is evident that this inexcusabls
added cost is finally passed on to the
consumer. 81
WOULD BAR ACCEPTANCE
1.-THE commission feels that the
stamping out of commercial bribery Is
one necessary step to the preservation
Of free. open and fair competition and
to that end respectfully urges that
such legislation should prohibit not
only the giving and offering but the
acceptance and solicitation of any gift
or other consideration by an employee
as an inducement or reward for doing
any act in relation to his employers
