NEW 'BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, - RESALE PRICE BILL AGAIN IN CONGRESS Might Solve Problem Manulac- turers and Retailers Face BY GEORGE H. MANNING [Washington Burcau of New Britain Herald) Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.—The | Merritt resale price bill, making it | lawful for growers, manufacturers or producers of goods offered for sale under trade-mark or special brand to fix the prices at which such articles should be sold, was reintroduced in the opening day's session of the new congress by Representative Schuyler Merritt, of Stamford, Conn. This bill, which was framed by Mr. Merritt during the last congress, but failed of passage because of the press of urgent legislation in the interstate and foreign commerce committee, is believed to offer a practicable solu- tion to the question which has vexed thousands of manufacturers over the entire country ever since the courts deeided that the federal trade com- mission was cerrect in declaring that the fixing of prices by manufacturers was illegal under the anti-trust acts. It has aroused the hearty endorse- ment of manufacturers and chambers of commerce throughout Connecticut and all over the United States, and will undoubtedly be able to muster great strength. The unique feature of Mr. Merritt's bill is the provision which prohibits the retailer or other purchaser from disposing of trade marked goods at a price less than that fixed by the manufacturer, without first offering them back to the manufacturer at the price paid. The theory is that the manufacturer will take it off the retailers hands in order to prevent his standard price being cut; or if he does not do so he cannot complain of the price cutting. This is believed to sideration of his bill, in order that it | may be reported out as speedily as | possible and thus have a favorable place on the calendar. Aside from the resale price provi- sion of the bill, which is its essential factor, the Merritt measure prohibits | the vendor from having any monopoly or” control of the rharket for goods of the same general class, and from being a party to any agreement, com- ‘| bination, or understanding with any competitor in regard to the price at which goods are to be sold. REUNION OF PEACERUL Several Who Sailed on Ford's Peace Ship in 1915 Hold Get-together Meeting in New York. New York, Dec. 5.—A number of the peace-loving folk who sailed for Copenhagen aboard the Oscar 1I, Hen- ry Ford’s peace ship, on December 4, 1915, held a reunion last night at a private dinner in the Women’s City club. There was a bit of secrecy about the dinner, members of the press being denied admittance and re- quests for details and names being re- fused. The invitations, sent out by Miss Katherine Devereux Blake and Miss Katherine Leckie, announced that the dinner would be a simple one at $1.50 a plate. “Dear fellow travellers on the Hen- ry Ford peace ship,” the invitation read. “It is cight years since we start- | ed out on a wonderful cruise, led by an idea. Peace is respectable! We who loved it pefore and during the war can honestly face thc world. Will you not join us on the evening of the | anniversary of the stafting of that| beautiful expedition.” | Neither Miss Blake nor Miss Leckie would grant interviews to newspaper men who sought information. They sent their regrets by a maid and de- clared they wanted their little cele- bration kept out of the newspapers.
