Not a Price-Fixing Law
The law does not stipulate that sel-
lers must quote the same price TO
every one. If the cost Of manufacture
or of delivery varies with the guam
titles or with the method of sale, the
act specifically permits price differen-
tials. Also if buyers or sellers are not
in direct competition there apparent
ly is no violation of the act. The act,
therefore, is not a price-fixing piece
of legislation. Rather, it is "code of
selling ethics" There is no question
that big purchasing combines anc
corporations have forced sellers in the
past to make unhealthy discounts. So
Tar as the act may eliminate such
; discriminatory advantages, I am for
:, it
The law applies not only to the sell
ler 1ut also to the buyer The latter
cannot knowingly induce or receive
discrimination in price from a sell
ler Competitors, who fancy themsel-
yes injured, may bring charges OF els
elimination against either their buy
er or seller competitors. The act in

or both
Some Probable Results
Such a comprehensive law is bound
to bring about radical changes. From
now on sellers and buyers will execute
contracts with great care and eau
tiousness. Attorneys and cost-account-
ants will find a big boom in their
BUSINESS. Chain stores and other big
purchasers may lose some of their
special discounts and advertising al
lowances. Private brands with cx-
elusive specifications will be en-
couraged at the expense of nationally
advel tised goods. The added costs I'M
der the act will force up retail prices,
at Jeast in the early stages. The r.
percussions are already being felt
principally in the grocery trades as
big retailers draw up new contracts
with their sellers.
The effect of the act in which I am
principally interested, however, is in
connection with the so-called basing-
point rrice system. Briefly, this sys-
tenn attempted to centralize nanufac-
turing in certain districts. Fer in
stance, the st. Louis buyer Of a ton
of st. Louis steel paid approximately
the same price as he did for a ton
of Pittsburgh steel or of Chicago
steel. Thus, there was no saving in
buying from local or regional fab

Blngo Party Given
By 3. P. w. Club

The Bingo Party given by the losing
side of the Business and Professional
Women's Membership Contest was an
enjoyable affair. The American Lee
gion rooms were decorated for the
occasion and the tables for the forty
eight players were conferred by nina
ture vases holding yellow daisies. A
large pile of prizes, sixty-five in num-
Der, done in bright colored wrappers
tied in cellophane added much inter
est to the game and as the players
"Bingoed", they picked out the one
they wanted, some of which were hui
r1orous, others useful or ornamental.
Mrs. Sallie Wilkinson, losing Captain,
and Miss Grace Galbrath called the
numbers and did it in professional
manner. AS consolation to the losers
it was noticed that their side consis-
tently won more times than the other
side. AT the close of the game punch,
waters, candies and a trick toy were
attractively served to ALL
Much credit for the success of the
evening is due Mrs. Wilkinson and

The law appnes to goods in inter
state business; but it's terms are
broad enough to cover practically ali
transactions except these of a very To-
.al nature.
Here are four important trade
practices which the new act affirms
1. The right to pass along 20 Gus
toners actual savings in costs Of
manufacture, sale, or delivery of
goods resulting from quantity orders.
2. The right to change prices 20
meet market conditions, such as to
dispose of perishable, obsolete, and
discontinued merchandise.
8. The right to meet lin good faith"
the lower price of a competitor, or
to furnish the services or facilities
furnished by n competitor.
a. The exemption of cooperative as
sociations from the terms of the act.
Now here are the important prac-
tees which the law prohibits:
1. Direct or indirect discrimination
in prices between purchasers of like
types of quantity quality, and service.
2. False brokerage paying Or
receiving OF anything Of value except
for services actually rendered
g. Special allowances, rebates, claim
which are not made available TO Ill
customers on proportionally equal

4. The selling of goods at "unrea-
sonably low prices for the purpose
