harr secretary of banking will be one of the speakers at the closing banquet this evening the nra minimum prices were welcome to retailers professor haring said in his talk on state legislatures are trying to prevent price cutting this taste of price control although mild whetted re tail appetites for more permanent limitations upon price cutting cal ifornia led the way in 1931 and 1933 with fair trade bills and during 1935 nine other states including new york new jersey and penn sylvania passed similar laws some 20 other states will seriously con sider such laws at their next legis lative sessions and a federal law will also again be proposed in 1936 may set minimum price the laws in this group of states the speaker explained allow the manufacturer to sign a contract with the retailer setting the minimum price at which trade-marked items may be sold if the manufacturer offers these contracts as a general policy the retailer who refuses to sign such a contract is still forbid den by law to sell below the mini mum contract price the only limi tations are that the branded item must have competition from similar articles and there is no question of damaged goods court order or dis continuing merchandise enforcement dr haring said can be obtained only through go ing to court and either manufac turer jobber or retailer can bring suit lehigh university brown and white price — five
