advance  their  prices*  on  account  of  the  imposition  of  the  war 
revenue  tax. 
That  we  commend  the  action  of  the  proprietors  who  promptly 
reduced  their  prices  when  the  tax  was  repealed. 
That  the  Secretary  is  instructed  to  prepare  a  list  of  all  proprietors 
who  advanced  their  prices  and  have  not  reduced  them  since  the 
repeal  of  the  tax.  The  Executive  Committee  shall  consider  any 
special  reasons  given  by  each  of  those  manufacturers  who  have  not 
reduced  their  prices,  accompanied  in  each  case  by  the  recommenda- 
tion of  the  Executive  Committee  with  reference  thereto. 
Resolution  "  C."    Non -Tripartite  Goods. 
Resolved,  That  while  the  tripartite  plan  is  intended  to  control  the 
sale  of  proprietary  goods  only,  the  Association  desires  to  again  com- 
mend the  action  of  those  manufacturers  of  pharmaceuticals  and  other 
products  who  have  uniformly  recognized  the  principles  of  the  plan. 
That  we  renew  our  recommendation  that  the  goods  of  such  man- 
ufacturers are  entitled  to  preferential  consideration  at  the  hands  of 
the  drug  trade. 
That  this  recommendation  be  brought  to  the  attention  of  every 
association  in  membership  by  the  Secretary  of  the  National  Associ- 
ation. 
Resolution  "  D."    The  N.A.R.D.  Plan. 
Resolved,  That  the  results  of  the  causes  and  plans  of  the  N.A.R.D. 
during  the  past  year  for  the  betterment  of  drug-trade  conditions  is 
a  practical  demonstration  of  the  benefits  of  organized  effort  and 
furnishes  gratifying  encouragement  for  the  continuation  of  those 
policies  and  plans. 
That  we  urge  upon  all  manufacturers  of  goods  sold  to  the  drug 
trade  and  all  jobbers  the  advantages  to  be  gained  from  a  loyal  and 
vigorous  maintenance  of  the  plans  jointly  adopted. 
That  local  associations  not  now  reaping  the  benefits  of  the  tri- 
partite plan  are  urged  to  renew  their  efforts  at  organization  upon 
such  lines  as  will  offer  most  satisfactory  results,  calling  upon  the 
Secretary  and  the  Executive  Committee  for  such  assistance  as  they 
may  deem  necessary  to  success. 
That  in  the  enforcement  of  the  tripartite  plan  all  names  intended 
to  be  listed  as  aggressive  cutters  be  submitted  to  the  Executive 
Committee  ;  the  Secretary  shall  duly  list  the  names  and  notify  the 
necessary  persons.
