Fight Looms Over Fair Trade Bill In Oak Hill
West Virginia’s contentious Fair Trade Bill, passed by the House and now before the Senate Judiciary Committee, triggers a battle between Oak Hill rivals. Proponents include William Dixon and W Hobart Booth backed by the West Virginia Pharmaceutical Association and the West Virginia Small Businessmen’s Association. Opponents led by Morris K. Wender of Wender’s Jewelry Store challenge the bill, citing a prior constitutional ruling. The bill’s fate now hinges on Senate action chaired by Howard W. Carson of Fayetteville.
