CAN REFUs1 TO CELL TO
RETAILERS WHO VIOLATE
Long Disputed Point in Merchandise
ing DaSided by United States Su.
premc Coart-Gist OF Decision For
warded to Chamber Of Commerce in
lowa--lmp ortant to Grocers.

Webster City, June 26,A-That a man
Featuring concern can determine the
price at which the retailer shall sell its
product is declared lawful in recent
ruling of the United States supreme
court, which has been received in
Webster City by the chamber Of COM
mcrcc.
The legal question involved has long
been doubtful one, as previous decl-
sions have made it illegal to control re-
sale prices by virtue OF resale price con-
tracts. This supreme court ruling
opens the way for price maintenance
without specific authorizatio by stat
ute.
!. The decision is one that will interest
all retail dealers" said John d. Slack,
! secretary of the chamber of commerce.
In general way it looks as tho the
ruling would prove satisfactory to the
retailer, but there ma be division OF
opinion respecting that matter. The
ruling certainly protects the dealer
against mere price slashing by certain
merchants for The purpose Of creating
the impression that they are selling
cheaper than others in the same line
of business"
Important to Grocers.
The ruling is momentous one to the
grocery trade as the manufa cturer can
refuse~to sell not only to the retailer,
but also to the wholesaler who sells to
the retailer who fails to comply with
the resale prices Indicated by the
manufacturer. Thus the third party
buying from the wholesaler can be
controlled as to his supply by shutting
of the jobber from the commodity,
Whatever il MAJ. &c. This decision! it
is stated, puts the protection of the
announced price Of commodity upon
the manufacturer, who has the legal
au; hority to do It,,
Right Not Restricted.
The supreme courts ruling says: "In
the absence of any purpose to create or
maintain a monopoly, the Sherman an
ti-trust act does not restrict the long
recognized right Of trader or manu-
facturer engaged in entirely private
business freely to exercise his own
independent dicretion rs to the parties
with whom he will deal, and, of course,
he may announce the circumstances
under which he viii refuse to sell"
The court ruling Is thus interpreted
by the New York; firm that. pressed the
case to a decision by the highest court
in the land. Under the Sherman act a
| manufacturer may lawfully quote fair
| resale, prices of his product and refuse
ITO sell to cutters, but ne may not re-
quire or exact resale price maintenance
contracts or agreements A manufac-
turer may refuse to sell to any dealer
for any reason. For example. he may
| refuse to sell to a dealer who resells
to another because the latter sells at
unfair prices"

frey and James W. Godfrey, a farmer

and lived together on the 240, acre farm
in Greene and Guthrie counties until
1907, when Mrs. Godfrey obtained i
divorce on the grounds that her hus-

farm and lived with her divorced huS-
band as a common law wife until las
fall

Mrs Godfrey. altho she never remar-
ried. asked for a divorce in Guthrie
county. In December, the case was
dismissed with James Godfrey paying
the costs. He claimed that his wife at
this time agreed to live with him
again.
However, instead Of remaining on
the farm, Mrs. Godfrey came to Des

Usher of fur garments. When she had
been in Des Moines a month she start
