Robinson-Patman Act

Chain Stores Not Required
To Buy At Same Price
As Independents
Contrary to widespread opinion,
the Robinson-Patman Chain Store
Act does not eliminate price dif
ferentials or require that the chain
store buy at the same prices as
independents. The Act explicitly
reads; "That nothing herein con
tained shall prevent differential 0
which make only due allowances
for differences in the cost of manu
j ;acture< sa i e or delivery resulting
from the different methods or
quantities in which such commod
ities are to such purchasers sold
or delivered." . .
l be Act declares that discnnun
ator Y P ri *es are henceforth illegal
without saying what pricing prac
tices are discriminatory. It indie
ates that price differentials may
he justified by difierences in the
cost ^ manufacture; but it does
xiot say how manufacturing costs
are to be figured. A manufacturer
can easily claim that, if he did not
sell at low Prices to the large buy
^ he would have , t0 ralse priceç
to the little f e ii 0 ws and make them
bear all the overhead costs. J-he
Act does not rule out such false
criteria for enforce
emnt arc contained in the luv..
However, it does not give the Fed

eral Trade Commission the power
to fix differentials and discounts
after holding hearings and making
studies. Thus, lawyers for the Illi
nois Manufactures' Association are
cited by the Wall Street Journal
of July 2nd as saying in effect that
"the vital point in this situation
will be administration of the Act."
It is an open secret that the
main backing for the Act came
from the wholesalers, whose lobby
ists were much in evidence at the
Capitol. They hope to use the law
in preventing the manufacturers
from underselling them; and it is
significant that the Federal Com
mission did support them in their
fight to prevent the Goodyear Co.
from selling at lower prices to
Sears Roebuck.
The Act provides that co-ops
continue to make refund? to
their mem bers but of course, if the
Federal Trade Commission should
cn f or ce the Act in such a way as
to reduce quantity discounts, con
sumers' co-ops would be affected.
They are in a much more vulner
able position than the chain stores
which frequently own their own
plants or can easily acquire them.
The large manufacturers are now
using the Act to scare the smaUer
firms into line and to force the
adoption of whatever price policies
the big ones want. To the extent
that this move i s successful, the re
sult is to foster price fixing and
price maintenance even 'though the
by these powerful sponsors of
Coughlin only serve to confirm
jujdgments already leveled against
him by his critics',' stated John
Newton Thurber, executive secre
tary of the Socialist party m
Cleveland, in discussing the press
release. "It has been pointed out
that in America while Coughlin
may net be the American Musso
jj ni> there can be no American
fascism without his participation
in the movement.

eral wee ks ago, that Lemke,
Coughlin's puppet candidate for
president, was openly cooperating
£ ith N€wton j en kins, leader of a
band of Fascists already operat
ing in Illinois,
"The disturbing tendency of
American workers," said Thur
ber, "to flock to the standard of
Lemke and Coughlin because of
their radical phraseology may
be stopped by the boast of the
two bishop^ in Rome. Father
Coughlin offers fascism to
American capitalists! Workers,
will you help him, or will you
fight him while you still have
a chance? The only party of
the workers is the Socialist
party, whose candidate, Norman
Thomas, I» your candidate !"
Act professes to have the opposite
intention.
DAIRY PRICE
RATIOS OFF
The Market News Service of the
USD A for July 15 reports: "Price
relationships are becoming rela
tively unfavorable for dairy pro
duction even though dairy producta
have advanced. A pound of butter
fat in Minnesota now purchases
only about 23.5 pounds of bran at
the Minneapolis price compared
with an average of about 37
pounds during July in the five
years before the price collapse in
1929 and 23 pounds in July during
the drought year of 1934. A pound
of butterfat also purchases only
14.5 pounds of linseed meal at
Minneapolis prices compared with
an average of 18.5 pounds in
July for the five years and 14.4
pounds in July 1934 . . . Bran
prices have advanced almost 90
percent since early in June, soy
bean meal 65 per cent, linseed meal
55 percent, and cottonseed meal
and gluten feed almost 40 precent.
Prices of corn have advanced
almost 50 percent, barley 100 per
cent, and oats 70 percent.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—James

America First. Si. andthe
Knights of the Whit* Camellia

K.K.K.), is plotting a pogrom on
;the Jewish people for September,
1936, according to Porter Nile»,
writing in THE NEW MASSES of
August 18th. The results of the
interview with Mr. True, who has
offices in Washington, D. C., have
been placed in the hands of Presi
dent Roosevelt, the suprintendent
of the Washington Metropolitan
Police, and the LaFolette commlt
tee investigating violation» of
civil rights.
Mr. Niles reveals that Mr.
True is in a key position in an
interlocking directorate of anti
Semitic organizations. He is ont
of the sponsors of the so-called
| National Conference of Clergymen
and Laymen which opened on
Wednesday, August 12th, in Ashe
ville, N. C. The list of those who
signed the call reads like a roll

MASSACRE
IN SEPTEMBER
He has planned for the Septem
ber massacre for a long time, True
told his interviewer. He even
went so far as to develop a
"policemen's truncheon" which is
guaranteed by its inventor to
break skulls. But he also has un
limited access to a supply of more
powerful weapons. A hardware
store, which he named, will sell
revolver« without a permit to any
one recommended by James True,
and in fact the store does a $12,
000 business annually through
True and his friends.
