Druggists Oppose Attacks
On Fair Trade Law
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Furtherance
of fair trade by every legal means
and resistance to attacks upon it
from any direction was declared to
be one of the chief objectives of
the National Association of Retail
Druggists for 194l by its Executive
Committee in session in Chicago.
Endorsed was also the price
for-al" policy contemplated by the
Robinson-Patman Act.
Referring to recent attacks on the
TydingS-Miller law and State fair
trade statutes, John w. Dargavel,
executive secretary of the associa-
ton. declared: The only compre-
hensive survey that has been made
has shown that the interests of the
consumer have been served by fair
trade and that prices of products
under fair trade have declined. The
only interests that have suffered
have been a certain class of dis
tributors who formerly were able to
use national brands sold below cost
as a decoy for consumers who were
induced to pay too much for other
goods. The claim that fair trade
has eliminated price competition
does not square with the facts.
1T has removed price competition
from the retail field, where only the
customers of cut-rate stores were
benefited by it, to the manufacturers
field, where all the consumers of the
product get the advantage of price
reductions. Competition between
brands for consumer acceptance is
more potent protection against ex-
cessive prices than the occasional
bargains offered by cut-rate stores" ="

LONDON, Dec 6.-The general
trend was toward lower levels in the

Trading apathy was largely re-
