Washington Ticker
BY CHARLES p. sHAEFFER,

The Federal Trade Commission is
compiling a complete history of the
chain store industry in the United
States.
The study had its genesis in a Sem
ate resolution which directed the COM
mission to go thoroughly into the situ-
alton to ascertain the extent, If any,
to which consultations in the industry
have been effected In violation of the
antitrust laws, If at all; the extent to
which consultations are susceptible to
regulation under the Federal Trade
Commission act or the antitrust laws
and what legislation should be enacted
for the purpose of regulating and con-
trolling chain store distribution.
officials of the Trade Commission de-
clare the survey will be particularly in
teresting, as it will offer a comparison
of the advantages or disadvantages of
chain store distribution with those of
other types of distribution, as shown by
prices. costs, profits and margins, quail
ity of goods and services rendered by
chain stores and other distributors, or
resulting from indignation, managerial
efficiency. low overhead or other similar
causes. Then, too, it will go into the
question of how far the rapid increase
in the chain store system of distribution
is based upon actual savings in costs
of management and operation and how
far upon quantity prices available only
to chain store distributors or any class
of them.
To date more than 100000 question
naires have been distributed to the in

d,stry. These ask for the financial and
operation results for a series of years,
as we'll as service features, discounts re-
ceived, consolidation and combination,
price policies and other managerial
details.
The commission estimates it will take
several months to complete the study,
as disable returns have been received
from but 10 per cent of the industry to
date.
Public hearings on the commissions
investigation of cotton-seed prices will
begin on May 26, when growers,
crlshers, ginners and association ex-
ecutives will be heard in an effort
to ascertain whether certain large
cottonseed oil mill operators have
acquired control of cotton gins in order
to destroy the competitive market for
the seed, at the same time depressing
prices paid to growers.
This inquiry Is the result OF resolu-
tions introduced by Senator Hefiin Of
Alabama.
The committee on merchant marine
and fisheries has been hearing repre-
sentatives of the State Department,
Shipping Board, steamship companies
and seamen on amendments proposed
to the so-called seamen's act.
The effect of these amendments would
give the master of vessel certain dis
erection to withhold from a seaman
wages demanded at a port where YES
sci may load or discharge cargo en- route
if the seaman has misconducted himself
at previous port.
The State Department placed before
the committee a great deal OF data
which had been gathered at foreign
ports showing that abuses by seamen OF
shore privileges are increasing and that
some corrective measure should be en-
acted. The ship owners signified viii
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-13

lingness to have any refusal on the part
of q master to grant wages by reason of
misconduct reviewed by the American
consul at the port, but representatives
of the Seamen appeared unwilling to
sanction any control OF this character,
contending consuls give more consid-
Grafton to the ship owners needs than
to those of seamen.
Under the present law seamen can
demand half wages due at every port of
call at not less than five day intervals
1t was pointed out by Shipowners that
under this agreement many men desert
when their ship sails and the vessel Is
not only unable to require them to con-
tinue the voyage, but oftentimes, months
afterward, is called on to pay hospital
expenses and repatriation costs. Final
ly it was commended the Government and
vessel owners should not encourage such
indiscretions by giving seamen oppor-
tunity to commit them.
The next biennial meeting Of the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce will
be held in this city in the Autumn of
1881 the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States announces.
This conclave was inaugurated in
1919 and now boasts representation of
48 countries. The program for the forth
coming meeting has been given a little
thought but only outstanding world
economic problems will be discussed.
Approximately 1000 delegates are ex-
pected to attend, with the foreign con-
tingent touring principal American
cities, after the business meeting is con-
cluded.
