A. &P.BROKERAGE
PRACTICE BARRED
Payments to Buying Agents
Ruled in Violation of
Acts Provision.
BY the Associated Press.


The Federal Trade Commission
found the Great Atlantic g. Pacific
Tea Co. guilty today Of violating the
brokerage provision Of the Robinson
Patman anti-price discrimination act
The commission ordered the COM
pany, which owns and operates more
than $4,000 retail grocery stores in 80
States, to stop accepting all allowances
and discounts. in place Of brokerage,
in any form paid to 1t by sellers.
II the company refuses to obey the
commissions order. commission pro-
cedure would be to take the case to
the Circuit Court Of Appeals with a
plea that the company be held guilty
Of contempt. Fines usually are i'm
posed on respondents by the court If
the commission Is upheld.
Before approval OF the act on June 10,
1896, companies selling to the A. &, p.
the commission found, paid brokerage
each month to the company's field
buying agents on their purchases for
the A. g. P. This brokerage. the COM
mission said, was "in the same amount
as those concerns paid to their
brokers who acted for them in making
sales to their other customers"
No Sales Services Found.
Actually, the commission said, the
A. & P.'s buying agents rendered mo
selling services whatsoever to sellers
in connection with purchases made
for the A. & P. company, but
only buying services to their employer,
the A. & P. company.
Paying of brokerage under such
circumstances was forbidden by the
1885 law.
The company. therefore. the COM
mission said, instructed its agents,
soon after the effective date of the
act, to accept no more brokerage.
But, the commission added. the
company also instructed its agents to
make agreements with sellers provid-
ing for payment 20 the A. &, P.
monthly by the sellers. as so-called
quantity discount" an amount equal
to the brokerage formerly paid.
The commission held this was a
violation of law.
Will Appeal Decision.
Soon after the commissions find
ing, Arthur G.. Brode Of counsel for
the grocery chain said the company
would appeal the commissions order
to the Circuit Court.
During hearings on the case.
Caruthers Ewing, general counsel for
the tea company. denied the charges
and said a cease and desist order
would be grossly unfair to the A. e. P.
and would accomplish no legitimate
purpose"
Ewing also said allowances COM
planned Of constituted no legal breach
and added that a commission trial
examiner had held that those selling
to the A. & P. did have the advantage
of certain services Of the field agents.
The complaint was issued a year ago.
