WHOLESALERS
URGE DRASTIC
'PRICE-FIXING'
Blow at Chain Stores Is
Contained in Proposed
NRA Code.

By Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-One Of
the most unpopular figures in in
dustry. the middleman. has laid be-
fore NRA the most drastic price
fixing scheme yet proposed to that
body.
The wholesale code, with hearings
complete and final action waiting
recommendations from NRA execu-
tives. would pledge wholesalers not
to sell any article to consumers at
wholesale price, and would require
manufacturers selling direct to re-
tailers to sell at a higher price than
that asked of wholesalers. This pro-
vision is intended to prevent one
class of retailer from selling to the
consumer at cheaper prices than
other retailers.
Ask Differential Prices
The middlemen believe their con-
tinued existence depends on adop-
ton of these regulations. The
growth of chain stores has brought
about direct, large quantity pur-
chasing by retail units from manu-
facturers. Small merchants still re-
~ on the wholesaler who can keep
down freight rates by buying in
carload lots, though they do charge
for the service.
In order to make sure that the
independent retailers prices may
compete with chain stores and yet
cover the cost Of buying through
wholesaler, the new code provides
that a manufacturers price shall De
fixed on a differential basis which
shall be fair and reasonable in re-
lation to the nature of the distrib-
uting services and functions rem
dered by each buying class. Such
differentials shall include all ele-
mentS affecting the net price, such
as discounts, terms and allowances.
Consumers Board Opposes.
Division Administrator A. D.
Whiteside approves of the code and
wishes its provisions could go even
farther" He believes wholesalers can
demonstrate to the country at large
that they can distribute goods more
cheaply than any other agency.
On the other hand. the MIRA
consumers advisory board, while
stating that it offers no criticism
of the principle of distributing
merchandise through wholesale
channels intends to fight with all
its resources against the price
fixing provisions.
An indianapolis official of a
large chain store. who did not wish
to be quoted, said that in his opin-
ion the government had been un-
fair about price-fixing in the food

JUVENILE CRIME
LAID TO SYSTEM
Senator King Tells Parents
and Teachers of Their
Responsibilities.

Blame for the increase in juvenile
crime was placed ON the shoulders of
parents and teachers last night by SEN
ator King. chairman of the Senate
District Committee, in an address at
Mckinley High School.
Speaking to large audience of par
ents and teachers, the Senator de-
clared there is a need for "a system
Of education that takes cognizance of
the disparities in the mentalities Of
children"
Urges Character Building.
I'VE need teachers of erudition," he
said, but. above all, we need teachers
Of character, of kindness-teachers
who, by word and example, get into the
child's heart and compel it to unfold"
Terming the schools "the foundation,
next to the home, Of our civilization"
Senator King said;
They can be improved; they are
not yet perfect. In them the children
can learn, not only the subjects. but
the things that make them good citi-
zens."
Cites Parents Duties.
Some of the teachers responsibilities
are shared by the parents, he said. add
ing:
And why not? The schools are there
to teach the children of the parents.
And the parents duty is not Just to
bring them into the world and then
cast them into the schools"
The Senator also blamed parental
indifference and the frequency of d.
vorce for many cases of juvenile de-
hnquency.
Mrs. r. G. Phelps presided, and other
speakers included Miss Aida Bowler,
United States Children's Bureau; Frank
@. Daniel, principal Of the school; Miss
Jessie Coope, assistant principal; Mrs.
Ralph Hoagland and G. A. Davidson.

GARY, Ind, November 8.-There we're
six Blue Eagles plastered about Theo-
dore Rahutis' dine and dance place last
night and, said Mr.. Rahutis, "Oh, boy
I'm glad to- have EN-"
Rahutis was the first business man
in the Nation to lose the N. R. A.
emblem. 1t happened just one month
ago, on October 6. Length of working
hours and rates Of pay in his cafe
were the reasons.
In that one month, Rahutis said, his
business fell off so per cent. But
RahutiS wasn't idle during that time.
He went to Postmaster A. F. Hess
and other members of the Gary N. r. A.
Compliance Board-and with him he
took records containing facts and fig-
ures that showed he was more than
living up to the national recovery act
He proved to the board his rates of
pay were above the minimum and his
working hours below the maximum.
The Compliance Board consulted
N. r. A. officials at Washington. They
were instructed to return the emblems

LIQUOR MARKETING
CODE IS PROJECTED
Farm Administrators Give
Group Task of Working
Out Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.

Farm administrators today created a
beverage section to work out marketing
agreements for the liquor industry fol-
lowing up closely results of yesterdays
elections assuring ratification Of repeal
early in December.
Harris E. Willingham of Atlanta viii
head the new section by an appoint.
ment scheduled for announcement
within few days. He joined the staff
of the Farm Administration In July,
when he was assigned to the food Sec
ton
Plans are under way for giving the
Farm Administration control OF the
liquor industry between the time OF re-
peal and the time that new legislation
on the subject can be effected.
Agreements Are Tentative.
Marketing agreements covering both
disti1lers and the brewing industry are
in tentative form and may be broad
ened to provide control regulations in
volving some of the social aspects Of
liquor distribution in addition to busi-
ness practices,
Willingham held an extended confer
ence today with Frederic p Lee. coun-
traitor, and who occupies offices with
Peek, although he is not on the Gov
eminent pay roll.
Peek has proposed that the brewers
and distillerS both agree in marketing
agreements that they use only domestic
farm products In their manufacture.
Minimum Prices Studied.
Possibilities of an ARRANGEMENT under
which brewers and distillers would agree
to pay a minimum of parity prices for
grains are being looked into.
An element which may enter Is steps
to proven a rush into the liquor busi-
ness. BY placing the industry under
agreements and licensing their mem-
bers, it would be possible for the Farm
Administration to limit new concerns.
1t is the opinion of many officials
that If the spirits manufacturing indus
try becomes quickly overcrowded, 1t will
lead to price cutting and various abuses
as members of the industry engage in
rivalry.
