Fair Trade Beer Prices Sought by Pennsylvania Distributors
Associated Press reports Pennsylvania beer distributors plan to press for fair trade rules to set minimum wholesale and retail beer prices. James Ross of the Malt Beverage Distributors Association says the 1955 Legislature should enact a fair trade law to ensure orderly marketing, benefiting both distributors and brewers while protecting larger name brands. The plan faces opposition from smaller distributors worried about local price-based competition and potential bankruptcies. The note adds a stray line about Japanese population growth.
