Small retailers push back as Robinson-Patman erosion widens
New York merchants demand tougher enforcement of the Robinson-Patman Act amid deep price cuts by big department stores after the Supreme Court voided the Miller-Tydings amendment. Retailers in other cities echo the call as Father’s Day sales loom.
