Retailer Spokesmen
Press Fair Trade
Arguments al Hearing

Spokesman for retail merchant
groups today continued appeals
for Federal support of State laws
authorizing minimum price-fixing
agreements on trade marked
products.
They testified before the Sem
ate Commerce Committee on al
hotly contested bill to strengthen
the so-called fair trade" laws,
effective in IS States.
These laws permit manufactur-
ers of brand-name items to set
minimum retail prices. through
agreements with retailers. A bill,
already blasted through the House
by a 196-to-10 vote, would make
such agreements binding on all
retailers in the fair trade" States.
Under present law. courts have
ruled that only retailers who sign
the agreements must abide by
them.
Officials Oppose Bill.
Federal Trade Commission and
Justice Department officials yes
terday opposed the Federal bill
and assailed principles of the
price-f1xing agreements.
Chairman Johnson said he
hopes to wind up hearings Thurs
day, with tomorrow and Thursday
set aside to hear other opponents
Of the measure. The "fair trade"
proponents scheduled today in
clude Leo j. Heer of the National
Retail Furniture Association. the
Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation, Lloyd c. Nelson, president
Of the Cal-Dak Co., Cotton. Calf. )
and Gordon L. Uhl, a Pittsburgh
jeweler.
Leading advocates Of the price
fixing agreements testified yester-
day. They argued that the agree
ments are in the interest of con-
sumers and represent lifeline
for the small businessman who
must compete with large wealthy
business firms.
Proponents Arguments.
Pointing out that the agree
ments can not be effective In any
State unless all retailers there are
bound by them, the proponents
arguments included:
/. That, without "fair trade"
chain stores and other large busi-
ness rivals could cut prices on
brand-name products to lure Gus
toners in to buy private brands of
goods. And, they argue, small
merchants are not able to COM
pete with such price juggling on
brand-name items they handle.
2. That fixed prices give con-
. sumers a dependable guide to the
value of products.
3. That. under "fair trade"
costs to consumers are not in
creased.
4. That the agreements protect
the value of established trade
mark names.
Maurice Mermey, director Of the
Bureau of Education on Fair
Trade. testifying on the plight Of
small businessmen, said 400 giant
retailers" handle more than half
the overtime counter sales. The
top 20, he said, this year will sell
one-quarter of all the retail goods
purchased.
Would Affect Mail Orders.
John w. Anderson. president Of
the American Fair Trade Council,
also proposed an amendment to|
prohibit mail-order houses from
shipping goods into fair trade"
States at less than prices agreed
to in those States. This amend
ment, as well as the one bearing
on non-signing retailers, would
offset recent Supreme Court deci-
sions against the price-fix agree
mentS.
Other witnesses testifying in|
support of the price-flxing bill
were George ]. Burger Of the
National Federation Of Indepen-
dent Business; Herman S. Waller,
legal counsel Of the National AS
sociation Of Retail Druggists, and
Leo F. Henebry, q Roanoke (Va.)

Court Bill
Approved
One-Year Limitation
Placed on Measure
BY County Council

The County Council this week
passed bill setting up full-time
Juvenile Court judgeship for one
year period. The appointment is
to run until June 80, 1858.
The full-time judgeship will re-
quire the holder of the office to
resign from private practice.
AS passed, the measure is a sub
stitute bill for the original Juven-
lie Court bill which called for a
full judgeship to take care of the
increased work of the court but
contained no time limitations on
appointment.
Council Member Kathryn Law
!or, who introduced the substitute
measure, said part-time judgeship
ir wrong in principle.
In the County Managers budget
request submitted to the Council
last week, it was recommended that
no full-time judgeship for the
Juvenile Court be set up without
further study of need. Mrs. Law
lor told the Council that the Coun-
" Bar Association should make a
study of the matter.
In other Council actions this
week, the County's governin z
body approved a bill which will
raise salaries of Council members
from $500 year to $4,000. Tho.
dill would not take effect until 1865
end no member of the present
Council would benefit.
The Council passed also a bill:
which will set up a special taxing
area for the Laytonsville District
to pay the expenses of setting UP
