"FIxED PRICES" ILLEGAL.
Government Holds Agreements for
Retail Are Violations.

Agreements between manufacturers
and dealers which prevent the latter
from reducing the selling prices of
manufactured articles are illegal, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the Department of Justice.
Indictments recently were obtained
against the Colgate Company, Attor-
ney General Palmer stated, charging
criminal violation of the Sherman act
for procuring agreements with deal
ers to adhere to fixed resale prices.
Absence of formal contracts will not
avoid the provisions Of the law. ac-
cording to the Attorney General, as
in the Colgate case the agreements in
some instances consisted in the ex-
change of letters or in purely oral

General reduction in prices is ex-
