Fair Trade And Stamps Spark National Policy Debate
The Bureau of Education hosts a Silver Jubilee Conference in New York marking 25 years since California adopted the first state fair-trade act. Discussion centers on trading stamps as sales premiums and whether federal anti-monopoly statutes should apply, with FTC investigations noted. Virginia and Oregon lately struck down such laws, eight states curtailing fair-trade statutes. The Miller-Tydings and McGuire Acts govern intrastate contracts and non-signers, but price cutting persists. Legislative action continues, while trading stamps expand nationwide, with Sperry and Hutchinson as a 60 year old pioneer. Senate committees plan inquiries, and hundreds of bills to restrict stamps have been introduced, most defeated. In Philadelphia, druggists sue two food chains over stamps on fair-traded products at minimum prices, alleging unfair competition.
