Proposal Of Compromise.
In the retail situation. johnson said
he had proposes. compromise that had
been generally accepted under which
the invoice cost limit would be coupled
with prohibition of "loss leader" sales,
or the offering of individual items far
below cost to attract customers.
Spokesmen for retailers put before
the President yesterday arguments for
a higher minimum price limit with the
contention that predatory price cutting
had been the chief cause of driving
out of business 100000 retailers during
the last four years.
johnson said that "cost Sold," or the
figure at which man broke even in
selling his goods, was the only cost that
appealed to the retailers; that the aver
age cost of doing business in the United
and that only one or two firms in the
country were reputed to be doing busi
ness on 10 per cent.
