ouuawing Resale pricc.Fixing

a # last the United States Supreme Court
[ has rendered IL decision which sets at
rest all doubts regarding the illegality OF the
system which has grown up in the business
life OF the nation, under which manufactu-
rers and producers of patented or other pro-
prietary articles undertake to control the
ultimate price at which such commodities
are sold TO the consumer or the user. The
court has declared emphatically in the Ohio
case That such q system is contrary to the
Sherman antitrust act and must be stopped
For years this issue has been debated in
the courts. More than six years ago this
court passed upon the question in what is
known as the O'Donnell case; then a short
time aftcrward dealt with it again in the
mimeograph case, and although that tribunal
in each instance found price-tixing under the
conditions presented at the time contrary
TO law, third case arose which left the
business men OF the country uncertain re-
garding the exact application of the law.
This was the famous Colgate case. which
arose from the Virginia courts, a case in
which the Supreme Court seemed to many to
reverse itself
Finally, the Ohio case developed The
lower Federal courts held that prce-fsng
as practiced by the defendants in that in
stance was legal, since it did not create q
monopoly, and was not intended apDarently
10 do so. But the government dissatisfied
with the ruling Of the lower court and hav-
Ing in mind the precedents set in the O'Don-
neil and mimeograph cases, appealed, and
won signal victory at the hands Of the
highest court.
IL appears from the most recent decision
that it is unlawful for producers to fix or
seek to fix the ultimate price of their wares
This is true whether or not monopoly is prac-
ticed or conspiracy is proven The producers,
OF course, may determine the price at which
they choose to sell their goods to whole
salers or direct to retailers But after that
transaction is consummatcd, they lose all
control over prices, and any effort to dictate
the price a, which the new owner disposes
OF such products is illegal and punishable
under the criminal section OF the Sherman
law.
