Living Cost Hike
Feared in D. T..
Fair Trade Act
Maryland Experience
Shows Higher Prices,
Senators Told

Maryland's experience with So
called fair trade practice legislation
suggests that the enactment of a
similar law for the District would
raise the cost of living for Wash
ington consumers, Senate subcom-
mlttee conducting hearing on the
proposed District law was told today.
The witness was Mrs. Eugene CAL
laghan, representing the Washing
ton branch of the Association of
University Women.
Mrs. Callaghan read at the hear
ing from a tabular study of the
prices of 81 standard articles obtain
able in drug stores, comparing costs
in Maryland and Washington. In
SO instances, she said, the Mary
land cost exceeded the Washington
cost and she attributed the disparity
TO the fair trade law.
Mrs. Callaghan condemned the
proposed legislation generally on
the ground that it would contribute
to monopoly and not solve the prob
lem at which it is aimed-price-
cutting by large retail outlets to the
detriment of the little retailer.
d. c. Bill Has Passed House.
Fair trade laws, which now are in
effect in "a States and have nationol
blessing in the guise of the Mile
TydlngS Act, provide that retailers
may make contracts with manufac-
turers to the effect that the retailers
will not sell a specified article for
price lower than the figure in the
contract. The District bill has
passed the House. but the President
has asked that final action be put
Of while the Federal Trade Com
mission and the Federal Monopoly
Committee study the matter.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland who presided at the hear
ing, held that the legislation would
strike blow at monopoly by saving
the independent dealer whom the
chain retailer could not undersell if
the law were operating. He said:
1 think you will have to do some
thing pretty soon to keep all the
independent outlets from going
Mrs. Callaghan replied that she
did not think the independents
needed the protection. She saw in
the bill a prelude to widespread
price-raising.
Retailers Seen on Trial.
Senator Tydings remarked that he
opposed goEging the public on prices
and said: The retail trade will
be on trial when it gets this privilege
of making the price contract. If
1t is wise it will not abuse the privi-
lege. If there is abuse there will
have to be amendments in the law
to modify the privilege"
Mrs. Callaghan said: Il think the
ultimate result will be that the law
will hang itself"
Mrs. Callaghan was the first of
a group of opposition witnesses. Her
points were amplified by Val R.
Lorwin, United Federal Workers:
Harry S. Wender, Federation of
Citizens Associations; Mildred Price,
Women's Trade Union League; Mrs.
Lillian Brinton. District of Columbia
Cooperative League; Fred Brink
man, National Grange, and Sydney
katz. District and Maryland c. I. o.
The bills supporters were ready to
testify this afternoon.

Senator Tydings, who was hopeful
that the hearing would be finished
today. The two Senators form
