Merchants oppose Stephens bill limits price control
A letter from Lawrence, dated Sept 27, 1916, to the Retail Dry Goods Association in New York argues against the Stephens bill. It contends price controls would bind retailers and misallocate duties, urging lawmakers to avoid mandatory laws that force price setting and to trust merchants’ honesty and market competition. The writer, a 28-year veteran, asserts independent pricing and quality as the path to fair dealing and warns against mail order price manipulation and overregulation.
