Recent court decisions and interpretations of the
Sherman Law in regard to the right of producers and
distributors to enter into contracts regulating resale
prices have created a situation which interferes seri-
ously with the progress of American industry and
which can be remedied only by federal legislation,
according to opinions expressed by members of the
American Fair Trade Association who attended the
thirteenth annual meeting of that organization held
last week at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York.
The association, which includes in its member-
ship 225 of the country's largest manufacturers in
addition to about 500 retailers and jobbers, has from
the start been working to protect the public as well
as the manufacturer and distributor through legisla-
tion authorizing standard resale prices.
