Ban Francisco, Los Angeles, BeoMle, Portland, Chicago Detroit, New York PRICK-FIXING (JOKS Tl)o recent docwion of the prquidont to abandon price-fixing features' of oomo major indimti ia) godes is of exceptional importance. It stenm from the growing belief that price fixing is inimical to the consumer and the small business man. The Darrow report, which was tremendously public ized, concentrated attention on that. There, may be much to bo said for price-fixing, used as a weapon to eliminate destructive and wasteful competition. But there is grave doubt if the American people could ever be brought to stand for it. : Free competition, with each unit within an industry striving to give better service at a more reasonable price, is part of the Americun business tradition, When th.e President started the attempt to fix prices, he in timated that it was purely experimental he is to be con gratulated on making a change when he saw that it would not work, as hoped. ; A poll made by Fortune among executives of .our principal industries, produces the fact that 85 per cent of them believe that the nuiin beneficial results of the NRA codes lie ih their wage and working provisions that great gains in this direction have been made, and that they should not be lost; That is certainly a progressive attitude, and now that price" fixing is to be ended, the labor features are again pre-eminent. The American people, as always, want labor to be amply paid and protected but they do not want revolutionary changes madia in our time-honored governmental or industrial scheme of lyings.
