Price, Cutting Banned.


The board also indicated that "de-
structive price cutting" will not be
permitted. 1t directed the research
and planning division of N. R. A. to
study prices and keep it advised OF
instances Of cut-throat price cutting
with q view to specific action in
specific cases.
It was also oficially emphasized that
the boards action did not establish a
precedent for action on any other
code. This was thought to be made
particularly with the bituminous coal
code in mind
Labor and majority Of the coal
mine operators are fighting shoulder
to shoulder to maintain the prices
fixed in the coal code against the de-
mands Of large consumers for price
reductions when their present con-
tracts expire in April. The bitumi-
nous code itself expires in June.
However. the action was regarded as
a notable step away from price fixing
The new policy of the administration
In so far as 1t has been outlined by
S. Clay Williams, chairman of the
N. I. R. B., and other high officials
proposes the abandonment Of direct
and indirect methods Of price fixing
except in few industries, mostly in
the natural resources field.
At recent code hearing, the West
Coast division Of the industry led the
attack on price fixing. At this hear
ing it was stated, and not denied, that
nearly all, Of not all, the lumber COM
panieS in the country were violating
the minimum price provisions, many
OF the larger operators having been
forced to do so in self-protection from
competition.
N. r. A. Retreats on Prices.
The NJ T. R. B. stated yesterday that
1T was not practicable either to en-
force prices in major divisions of the
industry which are unwilling to oper-
ate under such prices, or to suspend
prices in the cases of major divisions
of the industry while other divisions
are held to the maintenance of
prices"
Since the first burst of code draft
ing IN the summer and Fall OF 1888,
the N. r. A. has been beating an ir-
regular retreat from the price fixing
provisions which originally were in
serted in many codes at the insistence
OF the great majority of the producers
coming under these codes.
The first important retreat was from
the fair practice provision in the SER
vice trade, which included price fix
ing for cleaning and dyeing and for
haircuts and shampoos. The N. r.
A. has experimented with different
forms of price fixing under several
codes. notably those of the tire indus
try.
Although direct price fixing Is per-
mitted under only few codes, indi-
rect methods of maintaining prices,
such as production control, price re-
porting, and the rules governing dis
count rates and resale prices, are in
cluded in substantial percentage of
the N. r. A. codes.

regarding me and my activities can be
completely disproved by documentary
| evidence and the testimony Of large
| number Of credible witnesses.
Under the circumstances I simply
desire to notify you that If you take
the responsibility for publishing the
statements by Gen. johnson deroga-
tory to me, and obviously designed as
destructive of my personal and profess
sional reputation, you must accept the
full legal responsibility for taking such
action without any adequate effort to
assure yourself of the truth of the
libel" ..
Richberg Refuses Comment.
Beyond saying that he did write the
! letter in question, Richberg would
make no statement last night. His
differences with johnson, which pre-
ceded the latter's withdrawal from
N. R. A., were long a matter of COM
mon knowledge in Washington.
Several weeks before his actual res
ignation, in fact, johnson walked out
of White House conference attended
also by Richberg and other high off,
cials and promptly dictated a letter
of resignation to the President. The
Chief Executive asked him to recon-
slider and he did so.
The disagreement arose from several
personal incidents, including the sub
mission by johnson of an N. r. A. re-
organization plan to the White House,
without taking Richberg into con-
sultation.
Later, Richberg and Secretary Per-
kins drew up plan for N. r. A. which
the general bluntly charged was aimed
at his own retirement from that
agency.
Many Informants.
Richberg prefaced his letter to Lor-
inner with a statement that:
Il have been informed from so many
sources that the Saturday Evening
Post is about to publish serially book
by Gen. johnson that I assume this to
be true"
He would not write such a letter."
he said, after putting the Post on no
tice of legal responsibility" except
for the fact that when one person
after another comes to me with sub
stantially the same story, there must
be some basis somewhere for the
statements" He added:
But so far as my knowledge ex
tends, no effort has been made on the
part Of either the publishers Of the
book or the publishers Of the Post to
ascertain from me, or any one equally
well informed, whether they were be-
ing used as the medium for an ire
sponsible libelous attack on q person
sufficiently well known so that the
malice of the attack and the damage
intended would be obvious to any ma
ture person.
This letter is not an accusation,
because I have not seen the generals
book, nor have any positive knowl-
edge that you intend to publish it, or
any part of it. 1t Is, however, intend
ed to put you on notice as to the re-
sponsibility which you may be assum-
ing If the various reports to me are
well founded"
