Trade Commission to answer a COM
plant that it has fixed a specified.
uniform resale price at which retail
dealers are required to resell Van

The camplaint charges that the al
legged requirement of the company
has the capacity and tendency" to
constrain dealers handling it's collars
to sell at a uniform price. and fur
ther tends to restrain the natural

been used against the public interest,
may issue complaint. The question

used is not passed upon. however. by
