Dissolve Partnership : OPPOSE TRUST BILL P ice-Fixing by Builders Knotty Problem for House Judiciary 'ap-WT t"!J' , OTOR CAR WAKERS h board. knotty problem faced by tho 1 jec Judiciary Committee in rc r fting the anti-trust bills is that f regulating price-fixing by manu turers. The treatment of the 'omobilc manufacturer is one of the arrassing angles, for no industry presented more txhaustlvo argu ts before the committee than the a omobile industry. Tie tentative plan of the trust Y ters iras to prohibit price-fixing a i also to hand a death-blow to t t "exclusive contract," under which t manufacturer arranges with one icern for handling his product .n certain locality. Numerous wit nurses appearing before the House committee have stated that while r ch legislation might lilt a monopoly so it will seriously injure legltl r a.tc business. Alfred Lucking, of the Ford Motor f -.r Company, presents an argument 1 tho committee trhlch Is typical of 1 ie contentions of the automobile lakers. He asserts that there Is erce competition" in the automobile l.eld, and that no monopoly whatever exists. Would Injure Buyers. Mr. Lucking argues that If a manu ficturer Is not allowed to fix tho I rice of his car. there will be con f slon. sharp practices, and injury to i e buying public which is willing to i -iv a standard price for what It v mts. lepresentlng a concern recently in t i public eye because of its "proflt t a-ring plan." Mr. Lucking said: One price to all. in our opinion, is i c only moral, honest wav to do t slness. One fixed and well-known I cc has resulted in good values to t purchaser. Different and variant ires to the public for the same . 'icle multiply opportunities for jud, dishonesty, and cheating, and innocent suffer. fnder the one-price system, the ong and shrewd cannot get an ad- "tage over the weak. Tou can send ur child to buy. and. in fact, the ying public are all children. Not purchaser in a hundred is an ex- rt and able to Judge. The dealer s the advantage. The one prico j- stem, is essentially honest." Oppose Suggestion. vutomoblle men generally appear to opposing Uic suggestion that the bars t i'I bo let down and an era of cut- ' roat competition Invited. They insist t the buying public knows whether It Tits a J500 car or a J3.0W car and that automobile trade Is a free-for-all i "air The argument is made that if nanufacturers are not permitted to t me excluslvo agents, or to flx prices, rre will be indiscriminate price cut- ig, favoritism, bad business practices and general unreliability. In the end, they say, the buying pub lic will come out at the short end of tho horn, and tho manufacturer will even be denied tho privilege of making a contract with a certain concern to sh a certain product in a certain lo . litv. "he problem of deciding to what ex- it the manufacturer shall be allowed name the retail price of his product one of the embarrassing features of anti-trust program now being work out by Chairman Clayton and his ooiates on tho House Judiciary Com- ttee.
