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.
