Price-Fixing Bill Taken Up On Tuesday
Washington July 24 The House will likely take up Senate approved legislation allowing price fixing between manufacturers and retailers in 42 states. The measure, tacked onto a District of Columbia tax bill, would relax federal anti trust limits on price agreements in states permitting such practice. The Senate backed it after Roosevelt and Garner clashed over possible price rises as living costs climbed. An amendment barred agreements among manufacturers or among retailers to fix prices. Senator Tydings MD said this removed administration objections.
