BECOBOIENDS PBIOE FIXINO. 



Would Justify Trade Practice. 



There can be no legal objection to 

 the custom of the packet seed houses of 

 setting a fixed price at which their mer- 

 chandise shall oe sold at retail if the 

 recommendation of the Federal Trade 

 Commission, renewed July 12 in its 

 special report to Congress, results in 

 legislative action. 



Such a charge of unfair practice as 

 that brought against D. M. Ferry & Co., 

 of Detroit, by a department store be- 

 fore the commission a year ago, would, 

 if the trade commission's recommenda- 

 tion were acted upon, be without 

 grounds in '_ture. 



Recently The Review published the 

 text of a bill introduced in Congress 

 with somewhat the same object as the 

 trade commission's action. Court deci- 

 sions have upheld the practice of the 

 seed packet houses in some instances. 

 Legal redognition of its soundness would 

 confirm it beyond dispute. 



The Commission's Becommemlation. 



The recommendation made by the 

 Federal Trade Commission is that pro- 

 ducers be permitted by law to fix and 

 maintain resale prices, subject to re- 

 view by a disinterested agency. 



Under tlie commission's recommenda- 

 tion, firms desiring to fix and maintain 

 resale prices would file with an agency, 

 to be designated by Congress, descrip- 

 tions of their articles, contracts of sale, 

 and the price schedules to be main- 

 tained. The disinterested agency would 

 be charged with the duty, "upon com- 

 plaint of any dealer or consumer or
