YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT 15
We usualy think of Christmas as a time for toys and joys but it is also well to think of the days and years
that follow. With that m view we again wish to call attention to the value of a
saving book as a Christmas present.
For the old folks a savings book may spell greater contentment and more comfort than any other gift. For the boy and girl a sav
ing book may be the foundation of future success, not on account of the intrinsic value of the ffift but on arrnunt
of the habit of thrift which it will devlop, a habit which will be of lasting benffit 1

UNFAIR DEALING
|
(By United Press)
Washington, Dec. 20.—Price fix
ing must be extended to many other
products than fuel and food, the Fed
eral Trade Commission declared in its
annual report submitted to congress.
Far greater powers over business are
necessary if the government is to act
for the protection of its citizens from
profittering and unfair trade practices,
the commission asserted. It recom
mended also:
An investigation of “trade associ
* <v
ations” suspected of promoting price-1
boosting campaigns among members; j
a further attempt to unscramble the I
petroleum industry; passage by con !
gress of the Webb export bill.
“The commission is particularly of!
the opinion,” the report read, “that |
price-fixing by authority of law should
be exercised with respect to the iron j
and steel industry, for which a bill i
has been introduced in the senate.!
Equally important is the regulation of
the distribution of raw materials and |
intermediate products in the Indus-!
try affected and of the distribution of j
the final products to the consumer.”!
The commission declared the pur
pose of these laws would be defeated |
if existing contracts, largely based
on inflated war prices, were allowed
to continue.
Trade associations are declared to
“engage in activities tending, artifici
ally to control prices and the chan
nels of distribution.” Making public
all the records and files of these as-;
sociations is recommended as a rem
edy.
More effectively to check the “mon
opolized petroleum industry, the com.
mission suggested laws to abolish
common stock ownership in corpora
tions which have been members of
a combination dissolved under the
Sherman Anti-Trust law, and legisla-;
tion which would make the owners of
stock in “naturally” or “potentially”
competing companies responsible for
any acts which the various companies
which they controlled performed to
prevent competition.
The petroleum industry at present
is declared to be conducted by a num
ber of separate corporations “own
ed by a small body of capitalists,"
which do not compete.
A chief difficulty of the coal in
dustry, the report said, is the owner
ship by railroads of coal mines to
w'hich favoritism is shown in supply
ing cars. This, it is declared, ac
counts for much “car shortage” else
w'here, and keeps coal production 50 j
per cent under its capacity production. J
Railroads which own anthracite ■
mines are accused of another offense

—obtaining from the I, C. C. "extor
tionate freight rates” on the coal they
ship. Increased costs have passed on
to the consumer.
On recommendations from the com
mission, the justice department is
running down evidence on flag manu
facturers who raised prices at the be
ginning of the war.
Among "unfair practices" the com
mission has discovered the past year
are included: intimidation, refusal to
accept adVertising, price cutting, dis
paragement df goods, disparagement
of business, fate* advertising, mis
branding. stimulation 6f slogans, use
of coupons, use of leaders', duttfog off
competitors’ supplies and credttn, bri- (
bery and enticement of employes, u£d
of bogus independents, exchanging
prices of raw materials, malicious and
vexatious law suits, inducing breach
of contract, use of same or similar
trade name, conspiracy to injure com
[>etitors, espionage', exclusive deal
ng contracts and defaiwartion of name
ind goods.
