Fair Trade Lobbyists Press Lawmakers Over Bill
U S. Representative Emanuel Celler charged that lobbyists are pressuring House members to pass a Fair Trade bill that could cost consumers up to a billion dollars annually. The measure, backed by Rep. John A. McGuire, would restore state level price fixing under Fair Trade laws, a move Celler opposes while noting potential Senate defeat or veto. He illustrated higher costs of name brand goods across states, comparing prices in District of Columbia versus Maryland and Virginia, and proposed a substitute to ban below cost sales with limited exceptions. The story also mentions unrelated items about a police arrest in Indiana and a Houston garbage truck beautification effort.
