Standard Oil
Dual Prices

BY HOWARD L. DUTKIN
star stag Nrifer

The Supreme Court today
upheld a dual price system for
gasoline sales used by the
Standard Oil Co. in the Detroit
area. The 5-4 decision ended a
court battle which began in
1870.
The court majority ruled
that Standards use Of two
prices was made in good faith
to combat "pirating compete
tors" and as such did not vio-
late the Robinson Patman
price-fixing act. The dissenting
opinion. delivered by Justice
Douglas, said the decision
"cripples enforcement" Of the
act.
The act makes II unlawful
to discriminate in price be-
tween purchasers Of commodi-
ties Of like grade and quality
unless the price differential is
made in good faith to meet
competition.
The case stemmed from In
diana Standards pricing poll
cies to four big gasoline jobber,
in the Detroit area.
The Federal Trade Commits
sion in 1910 charged the con-
cern with selling the jobbers
gasoline at prices below those
charged TO $50 other service
stations in the area.
In 1851. the high court de-
cided the good faith plea wa
an absolute defense and sent
1t back to the ETC.
The commission found thai
Standards discriminatory prices
we're not made to meet a spe'
cific competitive offer but in.
stead we're the continued appli'
cation Of a standard pricinl
system.

area are pending against Gulf
