STORES OFFER
GOODS At Loss
Better Business Bureau Says
D. c. Merchants Are Sell
iN9 Below Cost.

The majority Of Washington mer-
Grants are selling their goods at pres
ent below cost. according TO an In
vestigation just completed by the
Better Business Bureau Of Wash
ington, which had access TO all the
records Of the retail merchants In
the city.

The Investigation was conducted as
a result Of a statement recently made
by Attorney General Palmer who
charged that the lowering OF whole
sale prices on clothing had not been
followed by sufficient reductions in
retail prices among dealers through
i According TO +. Y. wholley, secre-
tary. of Advertising Club of Washing
ton and one or the officers OF the
Better Business Bureau, most OF the
materials in the stock of Washing
ton merchants at the present time
were bought rcontracted for last
spring when prices were higher. and
these same. goods are now being sold
below cost by many OF the merch-
ants.
Mr.. wholleys report follows; ~.
QUESTIONS STATEMENT.
.'In a recent outburst through the
public press. the Department OF
Justice has charged that the lower
ling of wholesale prices on clothing
has not been followed by sufficient
reductions in retail prices among
dealers. and claim that 1t is prob
ieable that the retail dealer is prof
Jteering and is chiefly. responsible for
the failure OF prices to the consumer
ITO fall. In the. interview the At
"torney General has stated that he
has directed proper steps be taken
by Fair Price Commissions through
out the United States to watch care
fully for unjust charges being ex-
torted from the public
This statement in the interview is
seriously Questioned by the Better
Business Bureau of Washington.
, Through their confidential access to
all of the records of all of the re-
tail merchants in Washington they
are in a position to state that a
m jority of merchants are at present
selling their goods at below costs.
"A sound thinking, investigating or
ganization would know that the ma
terials in stock at the present time
and for sale were bought or con-
tfacted Tor last spring Wenh prices
were higher and 1t is these goods pur-
chase at the highest prices, upon
which the merchants are taking posi-
. tive losses in the public's interest at
the present time. ..'- 80 ~ ' s. -
SELLING At Loss.
"The overhead in the retail bust
ness is constantly increasing instead
OF decreasing and the merchants loss
is greater In proportion as this in
crease grows. 1t is true that he can
replace his merchandise at very much
lower prices, but. until the initial
stocks are used up and the merchant
takes his losses on them all 1t Will
be impossible for him to sell at the
lower price scale.
Most of them are doing all within
their power to adjust their merchan-
disc conditions to point where they
will be able to sell at lower prices
IL seems hardly fair that Federal
Department should so unfairly criti-
cfze the merchants, who are perhaps
doing more than any other unit to
bring the prices down to a lower
scale" ..n. n....

CLAYTON ASSERTS.

1T Is my intention to sit in this
case" he concluded.
Following this declaration William
Nick Clayton, counsel for the Fereda-
tion OF iCtizens Association withdrew
all objections TO Mr.. Hendrick sitting
as a member of the commission in
the gas case.
He declared that he had challenged
the right Of Commissioner to parti-
cipate in the findings for two rea-
sons. because the letter of the law
would not have been carried out;
second, because he did not feel that
Mr.. Hendrick could we'll sit as a
judge in a case involving a company
in which he had been interested for
merly.
Mr.. Clayton said that he accepted
completely and unequiVocably" Mr..
Hendricks statement, and that so
long as the Commissioner felt that
he could sit as a judge in the case
without bias or prejudice to either
people or corporation" he would
withdraw his objections.
There is no coin OF the realm
which to me rings truer than the
word OF a Southern gentleman" he
said.
