The reason giveén is |that the Hartford Chamber will take {no action in any price reducing move- ment. Thé foljowing reply has been re- | ceived by Secretary Ray Makin, to his |invitation to Hartford to co-operateé |and was read at the meeting of di- rectors today: “Dear Mr. Makin: Replying to |vour favor of June 1, in re. the mat- ter of- ‘wholesale price of gasoline,’ |have to advise that at the last meet- {ing of the directors of this organiza- |tion, the matter of regulating the |price of gasoline was under discus- |sion and it was the sense of the meet- any commodity was outside the scope |of this body. Any attempt to regu- price of gasoline, it seemed {to the directors, might logically lead to similar action on other commodi- (ties and the fleld for regulation | might become unlimited once a pre- cedent had been established. “The directors would, no doubt, |view the matter of endeavoring to securé lover wholesale rates in the same light as that of retail rates. “Very truly yours, “W.
