Druggists Launch
Drive 10 Prevent
Price Increases
Retailers to Watch
Any Advances in
Wholesale Costs
srecial Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Co-operat-
ing with the national administra-
tons efforts to prevent price in.
creases to the consumer, the Ma
tional Association of Retail Drug
gists has launched campaign
among it's $4,000 members to report
advances in wholesale costs which
seem to be unwarranted, Secretary
John w. Dargavel announced today.
The reports will be submitted to a
new Committee on Consumer
Trends, which will investigate to
determine the reasonableness OF in
creases, and publicize its findings
and report them to the appropriate
Government agencies, if such action
seems justified.
Before such action is taken man
ufacturers will be notified and will
be given an opportunity either to
Justify the increased prices or to
restore them to their former level.
It is believed that this procedure
will act as an effective brake on
unwarranted price advances and will
fully protect the consumer, Sec
retary Dargavel explained. The plan
has the approval of Thurman p
Arnold. assistant attorney general,
and Miss Harriet Elliott. consumer
advisor of the National Defense
Committee.
1T is in the genuine interest Of
all retailers that unnecessary price
increases be prevented before the,
goods reach the retail store, if the
living standards of the civilian
population are to be maintained and
increased" declared Secretary Dar-
gavel. Thus the retailers major
contribution to national defense is
at the home front. The retailer.
must continue to supply people with
the goods they want at prices they
can afford to pay"
