The squeeze play has. been going
on in many New York wholesale and
jobbing firms ever since, according
to merchants. Government regula-
tions were circumvented by I'M
scrupulous wholesalers who offered,
for instance, 300 pairs of rayon
stockings at a proflteering price,
since there was no ceiling on rayons,
and charged regular price for ny
Ions. they said. NO rayons, no NY
lons,' was the motto. They declared
nyions were used as bait to unload
SloW-moving rayons. Others charged
the regular legal prices for their
nylons, they added, but demanded
silent" cash settlement of a secret
differential.
Department store officials claim
that the big stores, which often buy
directly from the mills, or from
large, long established, reputable"
wholesalers, have not engaged in
profiteerlng, and maintain that
their earlier $1.65 to S295 price range
for nylon hose covered the natural
span in quality.
There is great difference in
quality of nylon stockings as there
is in everything else" one ajor
buyer pointed out. The contention

The OPA said the two weaknesses
in the April ceiling have been elm
mated in the new ceiling prices
ranging from S115 for second quail

any dealer can charge for nylons
now is So SO, and if he receives any
thing above that price, the Gus
toner can sue and receive court
judgment for s6G, plus court costs
