War In Prices
Spreads Despite
Federal Threat
• By t'NITKD I'RKSS|
I'rice wars spread today to
San Krancisro and Omaha despite
a threat of fed«-ral anti-trust ac
tion against merchants who slash
their prices below costs.
Ill New York, meanwhile, Macy"*'
department store ofleied to call a
truce in the b;«ttle of the price
tags- provid*'«l its competltois;
keep th*'ir levels six |*'r cent i
higher than those offered tn the
largest department store in th*
world. Th. rivals lejeeted th*
peace offer and th«• war loared on
Weinstcin's ilep;irtment store in
San Francisco put th<- .iv to pii-
ces on many "fan tiade" gotnls,
mostly diugs and *utidries tmlay.
Other stores retaliated by lowti-
ing their prices even fin tin i
In Omaha. Ij-e Smith, presul* lit
of Smith Drugs, ordered his stoi
*s to maik down fail trade items
that he considered "out of line."
He expected other stores In <|n tht
► line and said he believ.il a prio
fight would be "healthy" f« i re-
tailers.
But in w ashingtoii. (it'Higt* J.
Burger, president of th. National
Kedefatiitn of lndep*'ii«l. ut I'usi
ness. said some sales made in
New York' price war may lie to
violation «f federal anti-trust
laws.
He .|u«>t. <1 a section of the law
that "selling below th" seller's
cost is an unfaii act where bo'li,
such action is to destroy fair coin
lietltlon."
The price war* were touched off;
by a I'. S. Supreme Court decis-
ion that fail trade agreements ap
plied only to those meichants who
actually signed them and muld
not cover all sellers of a particu :
lat pl'duet Ullles.- they .Igieed to'
iibid.' by th. given pri«'e levels.
Macy's offer for a negotiat.il
peac on its own terms was rejec-1
ted imnwdiately yesterday by '
compftitors.
Be maid tlimhel, pi*'sitl.-nt of
Macy's arvh-rival. retored "we're
going to follow out MiiMeas |s<- |
IicV of protecting oui custoinei s. I
We will not he undersold h> .
Macy's or anyone else."
There was no sign that Macy's i
San Francisco store planned t<> i
fight Weinstein's pi ice-cutting
move. But other stores in the |
west coast city were willing to ac-I
cept the challenge.
Weinstein's added 'J'HI ex tin sal-
