COMMERCIAL
HONESTY, AIM
Law Wanted to Prevent I'm
justifiable and Vicious
Practices
FEDERAL TRADE
COMMISSION ASKS
Scores of Complaints Have
Been Made in Many
Industries

Washington, May H. Enactment o
"a sufficient law striking at the unjusti
fable and vicious practices of commercial
bribery" was urged on Congress to-da!
BY the federal trade commission,
Each person participating in any sucl
transaction should be reached by erin
inal statute, in the opinion of the com
mission, which recounted that investiga
ton has revealed commercial bribery e
be general throughout many industries
Scores of complaints have been issued
against firms guilty of the practice, but
the commission, having no criminal jur'
isdiction, has been unable to punish in
dividuals and has had to deal with com
mercial bribery only as an unfair method
OF competition.
ut should be noted says the com
mission, that the practice appears to
have been most general on the part of
concerns in introducing the goods and
wares to German firms"
The commissions recommendations
said in part:
These brides take the form of com
missions for alleged services, of money
and gratuities and entertainments of va
rious sorts, and of loans-all intended to
influence such employees in the choice of
materials.
1T is evident that this inexcusable
added cost is finally passed on to the
consumers.
"The practice is one which has been
condemned alike by business men, legis-
latures and courts, including among the
business men those who having finally
resorted TO ii in self defense in compel
ing with less scrupulous rivals or in sell
ing to concerns whose employees have ex-
torted commissions under threats to de-
stroy or disapprove goods submitted to
them for test
Corrupt employees having the power
to spoil and disapproye materials have
been able TO bid one salesman against
another until in many cases they have
extorted secret commissions, so called, as
large as 20 per cent of the value of the
goods sold.
Fourteen states have statutes strik.
ing at the practice and yet il tends to
grow, When competition crosses state
lines state statutes with respect to trade
practices are not actively enforced.
THE commission feels that the stamp.
ing out OF commercial bribery is one
necessary step to the reservation of free,
open and fair competition and to that
end respectfully urges that such legisla
ton should prohibit not only the giving |
and offering but the acceptance and SO
OF any gifts or other considera
lion by an employee as an inducement or
reward for doing any act in relation to |
his pmployer's affairs ar business or for
showing or for bearing to show favor or
iisfavor to any person in relation TO his /
principals or employers affairs Of bust
less.
in order to prevent a resort to a com
non method of corruption, it is recon
nended that the law should also prohibit
he giving of any such gifts or other con
to members of the agents or
employees family, or to any other person
or his use or benefit, direct or indirect,

powers that the double murder was
plotted in Serbia. ON the other hand,
there is "A widespread belief IN. allied
countries that the plot was Matched
in Germany. in order TO give the
kaiser an excuse for commencing his
war OF conquest.
In any event the murder OF The
archduke and his wife was made the

The new government has taken
