TVllli.m V. "Woodward. secretary
treasurer of the Clarke, "Woodward
Ilriiir iIomDanv.. heretofore one of the
foremost anion "price-cutting:" estab
llshments of the Northwest, has taken
a position in advocacy of the passage
C the Stevens bill By congress, a meas
ure which would eliminate cut rates on
t!onvritrhtcd trademark or patented ar
tides on which the manufacturers de
sired to maintain standard retail
Prices.
Mr. Woodward addressed the United
Commercial Travelers at their first
banquet at the llazelwood, and was
successful In securing the unanimous
suunort of that association for the
uassaee of the Stevens bill.
Mr. Woodward has been designated
as one of a . committee appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States to discuss the Stevens bill with
public and mercantile bodies ;ot the
West.
' There Is now before- the House of
Representatives," said Mr. "Woodward
"a bill Introduced by Mr. Stevens, of
New Hampshire, which is intended to
prevent discrimination of prices, and
to provide for publicity of prices to
dealers and to the public
1'rlce Protection Gone.'
"You are no doubt familiar with the
course of legislation which has re
suited in the absolute removal of what
is t.Tmed price protection; legislation
originally designed to remove and pro-
vent monopolies ana monopolistic com
binations. and which, by reason of its
drastic and general terms, has made it
impossible for the owner of any trade
marked, copyrighted or patented arti
cle, to fix or control the re-sale price.
The Sherman act and Its various
amendments has done an immense
food to the business interests of the
country, but the incidental effects, far
reaching and unlooked for, are provins
disastrous in ways which I will try to
outline.
There la no disagreement, I am
sure, as to what constitutes a monop
oly, the arbitrary fixing of prices by a
combination of Individuals, firms or
corporations, whereby the normal and
proper value of an article or service Is
increased- arbitrarily and without
proper cause. On the other hand, let
us take one case of the many thou
sands which have occurred since the
passage of the Sherman act.
"An individual, places on the market
the product of his inventive genius, his

rignta whatever as to its rp-snlo nricp

engaged. In this trade there are thou-
lPo'fuYar "SJio fc2WiS5.Bl-53 ,' "a"0n S" " - "-anrtoolhpate3
a popular demand, and the article, tooth powder. toiit HiM.. r,,nr,r!ta,
whatever it may be: is offered to the
public at a price.
Four Factor Told.
"This price is usually based on four
conditions, the . cost of manufacture
(which shall include a fair wage to
those actually engaged in its produc
tion; one which will admit of reason
able hours of labor and a fair rate of
pay); next, sufficient to permit of a
National publicity campaign, in order
that the value of the article may be
made Known to. the people of the land
or the world; next, a fair margin of
profit to the Jobber or wholesaler into
whose hands the article must go in
order that it may obtain the widest
and most effective distribution; next,
a fair profit to the retailer, the man
who must eventually supply tho con
sumer. These points having been cov
ered and a. price having been estab
lished In accordance therewith, there
can be no inherent wrong in Its main
tenance. "Ownership of the article does not
of itself constitute a monopoly, and
does not become so unless there is a
combination formed of individuals or
firms, whereby the price is arbitrarily
advanced. This is forbidden, under se
vere penalty, in the Stevens bill.
Title Panes Wltn Sale.
"The courts have held that under
the Sherman act. title to an article
rasses wun its sale rrom the seller to
tooth powder, toilet articles, proprietary
uicuicines (some worthless.'some of real
mem;, soaps, sarety razors. What is
the result of cutting the retail price of
these goods? SlmDlv this, that everv
dealer, large or small, engaged in this
practice, must necessarily have on his
shelves or counters a supply of substi
tutes, which, by what is called "skilled
salesmanship," are pushed Into the un
willing consumers hands,
John emith enters one of these drusr
stores and asks for a package of Lyon's
tootn powder, Pebeco, Daggett &
Ramsdell's cold cream, or whatever it
may be, which he has seen advertised
at a cut price, usually 3D or 50 ner
cent less, than the figure which it is
supposed to sell for. The salesman.
perhaps, will give it to him grudgingly,
but, depending on the desrree of skill
which has been acquired from coaching
from headquarters, he . will induce the
buyer to take a substitute.
"Tnere are three or four great cor
porations in the United States today
manufacturing these substitutes: I will
not mention their names. Their eroods
are seldom or never advertised in public
prim; iney are sold to the druggists or
handled by these agencies at nominal
prices. No one but the manufacturer
knows what they contain or how they
are made.. The dealer merely knows
that they add a splendid profit when
sold in competition with th ivn-
known advertised article. For instance.

those thousand and one products of
..merican inventive genius and enter

words in every home in our land.
"Is it fair, honorable or equitable,
that power should be given to any man
or set of men, to destroy the selling
value of any of these products arbi
trarily after they have come into pos
session of one or more of the items by
purchase?
Matl Order Houses Cut.
"This, gentlemen, is what the great
mail-order houses do when they take
one of these articles and ofTer it at a
tlgure far below the selling price fixed
by the manufacturer and at which it ia
generally sold. Oftentimes, this price
bears no relation to the cost. Great
mail-order houses have laid the founda
tions of their wealth and their power
by indiscriminate cutting . of these
well-known articles of commerce and
of general construction.
"What is the primary object of the
individual, firm or corporation .in cut
ting the price of these well-known ar
ticles? Manifestly, it is to draw trade,
not for the article itself, because every
one is sold at a loss. If you question
it, let me tell you that the great de
partment -stores, the cut-rate chain
tore. the great mail-order houses, do
not carry on their business at a lower
overhead than the small merchants.
This has been amply proven by statis
tics. It costs the average small mer
chant from 16 to 20 cents to sell 1
worth of goods. The average cost for
the large concerns runs from 20, even
to 30 per cent.
"The cutter cuts for a purpose to criva
the impression to the public that he is
able to undersell his neighbor or com
petitor, and having given this tmpres
pion by liberal advertising and always
by advertising .at cut prices, well
known articles, proposes to increase
his business by selling either a substi
tute for the article or additional merch
andise from what are known as "or
phan" brands, bulk commodities, in con
nection with the article offered at a cut
price.
"The whole practice is based on an
unmoral or immoral conception of busi
ness and it has been increased by that
mail-order house, which the Stevens bill
is calculated to cure.
Small Stores Doomed.
"You, as traveling men, depend for
your wage and success in your vocation,
on the number of retail firms with
whom you can do business. Every day
sees a diminution - relatively of these
smaller stores. In time they will abso
lutely disappear at the present rate, and
there win remain the great mail-order
houses of Chicago, with their branches,
a few department stores and a very
imnioa . numoer or small merchants
struggling by every means . In their
power, nonoraDie or otherwise; to
secure a living, and this condition will
come about from the existence of the
Sherman anti-trust law which has been
so perverted from its original intent
that it has become- a weapon for the
aestruction or those whom it was de
signed to protect. .
"These are the axioms which I wish
to impress on you: Cut prices do not
mean cheaper merchandise. The cutter
owes not carry on his business at a
lower cost than the man who sells all
his merchandise at a fair profit. The
cut prico system is inherently dishon
est. Cut prices destroy tho avenues of
fair and honorable publicity and work
an Injury to the honorable retailer, the
Jobber, the manufacturer, the publish
er, the salesman and to customers in
every walk of life.
"The movement for which I speak.
Is indorsed , by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States of Amfrlcn
and more than 300 organizations, rep
resenting wnoiesaiers, retailers, man
ufacturers and consumers from th At
lantic to the Pacific Coast. Great men
indorse this .movement because they
see in . it relief from present ruinous
competition. Bankers, jobbers and all
who have to do with the responsibilities
attached to commerce, as they become
1.0.1111110.1- wun its purposes. Indorse it
unqualifiedly, and I hope you will se
your way clear to lend your voice in
behalf of what I have offered."
