NEW LEGISLATION
WOULD PERMIT THE
RESALE OF ARTICLES

Washington, Dec. 3.-Legislation
permitting manufacturers to fix resale
prices for trade mark or otherwise
identified articles under government
supervision, was recommended to
congress today by the federal trade
commission.
Under the present law as interpret
ed by the supreme court, maintenance
of resale prices Is regarded as in re-
straint Of trade, and the commission
pointed out that it has been obliged
to enforce this view in many cases
that came before it. Consequently,
since price cutting has been recogniz-
ed as a possible unfair method of
competition, confusion has resulted.

the 5000 locomotives stipulated in
the armistice agreement by December
II, according to the Matin, and it is
possible that the Allies will grant
more time to the enemy. This will
have the effect Of delaying peace
negotiations since they cannot begin
until all the armistice conditions have
been fulfilled.
Discussions between the Allied del
egations to the peace conference will
probably begin on December 20, with
