Price Fixing First Task In Retail Code
Washington Aug. 29 The national recovery administration moves toward a master code for all retail stores focusing on price fixing. The retail drug code in its fourth revision grants the right of contract allowing price agreements between retailers and manufacturers and sets a maximum 3 percent discount from base prices. The clause aims to shield independent merchants from chain store competition while anti trust laws remain unaffected. It also bars selling below delivered cost or current market delivered cost plus labor costs for most goods excluding food and drugs.

Insull Arrest Ratified by Court of Greece
Athens Aug 29 The Supreme Court ratified as legal the arrest of Samuel Insull American utilities magnate. Arrest followed U.S. extradition request. Insull’s lawyers argued the arrest unjustified as he made no effort to evade authorities since last year’s extradition request. Court reserved decision on bail while U.S. seeks to prove extradition should be granted. Dennis Lazatinios argued Insull would not flee Greece. State’s attorney said keeping him in custody for 60 days would not greatly inconvenience him.
