This "Study of Open Price Filing in the Flcctrical Manufacturing
Industry" was made "by Messrs* Willard L. Thorp and A. H. Caesar with the
assistance of F. W. Powell.
This study is highly significant — not only because it breaks new
ground in technique of analysis but also because it is the product of
genuinely cooperative efforts of an industry and a governmental agency.
Immediately following this Foreword will be found the statement of the
cooperating industry committee.
Since the study breaks new ground it has seemed appropriate to
mimeograph not only the analyses and the findings contained in the
study proper but also elaborate appendices which -arc both work data
for the study and mines of information with respect to the price
practices of the industry.
While the authors modestly disclaim ability to guarantee the
accuracy of the study, it is believed that the material was obtained
from an accurate source and was accurately handled, iTo pretense has
been made to finality; rather an effort has been made to secure such
facts and present such material as will assist in the consideration of
open price filing as an economic device.
The student of price filing will find other material of interest
in Work iJaturials "Jo. 67, Fertilizer Industry Price Filing Study, in
Work M i Is ITo. 76, Price Filing UikI sr JRA Codes, and Work Materials
ITo. 55, Price Control in the Coffee Industry.
At the back of this report will be found a brief statement of the
studies undertaken by the Division of Review.

Dear Sir:
In July 1935, you, as Director of the Division of Re-
view of NRA, and Dr. Willard Thorp requested the Board of
Governors of National Electrical Manufacturers Association to
cooperate in a study of open price filing as reflected by the
experience of the electrical manufacturing Industry, and re-
quested that a committee be appointed to cooperate with NRA
in such study and to review the final report before publication.
The appointment of such a committee, with such authority,
was promptly authorized by the Board of Governors, and the Com-
mittee has met with Dr. Thorp and Mr. A. H. Caesar on several
occasions to review the procedure being followed and to assist
in solving some of the problems with which they were confronted.
Today we have had the opportunity to review with Dr.
Thorp and Mr. Caesar the text of the several chapters of the
study, and particularly Chapter I, History, and Chapter XV,
Conclusions.
Our comments are as follows:
1. We have welcomed this study of open orice filing
and the assembly of the factual data regarding the
experience of a number of branches of the Industry.
Open price filing was not an unqualified success
from any point of view. Whether the defects as
they developed from month to month would have proved
to be temporary, or whether they were of a permanent
nature, cannot be determined on the basis of the
experience of a year and a half. Some of the de-
fects of open price filing were undoubtedly due to
defects in the Code. Others were due to defects
of administration both by the NRA and by the Code
Authority, which might have been removed with ad-
ditional experience" of ■ both. Others were due to
-ii-

lack of enforceability. Others were undoubtedly
defects which accrued from human nature as it is
found. This study has served to bring out the
salient features of such defects and to serve not
only as a guide for the establishment of public
policy but also as a guide to the industry.
We wish to commend the objective nature of the
study. It represents in full degree what from the
beginning we understood to be the point of view of
the Division of Review, namely, that the study was
not designed to prove any t':lng one way or the other,
but rather to assemble facts in as brief a form as
possible for such future use as nay arise.
There are a good many problems on which no definite
conclusions can nosslbly be reached, either by NRA
or by the Industry, without much more time than has
been available, and there are even problems on which
conclusions can be reached only by making certain
basic assunotions.
The text of the study, as we have reviewed it, war-
rants fully, we believe, the position which we have
National Industrie! Recovery Act.
It has be^n a pleasure to i!,ork with all of those in
the Division of Review with whom vrG have come in
contact in, the course of cooperating in this study,
particularly Dr. V/Illard Thorp and Mr. A. H. Caesar,
who have borne the burden of a very difficult analytical
task, which they have carried out obj ectively, co-
operatively and intelligently.
Sincerely yours,

CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION
A. HISTORY
The Code: The code of fair competition for the Electrical Manufacturing
industry, was the fourth code to be approved "by the President. Approved
about six weeks after the signing of the National Industrial Recovery
Act, it was the first code to provide for open-price filing. The exact
code provision is as follows:
ARTICLE X.
"If the supervisory agency determines that in any branch or sub-
division of the electrical manufacturing industry it has been
the generally recognized practice to sell a specified product
on the basis of printed net price lists, or price lists with
discount sheets, and. fixed terms of payment which are distri-
buted to the trade, each manufacturer of such product shall,
within ton (10) days after notice of such determination, file
with the -supervisory agency a net price list or a price list
and discount sheet as the case may be, individually prepared
by him showing his current prices, or prices and discounts,
and terms of payment, and the supervisory agency, shall im~ '
mediately send copies thereof to all known manufacturers of
such specified product. Revised price lists with or without
discount sheets may be filed from time to time thereafter with
the supervisory agency by any manufacturer of 'such product,
to become effective upon the date specified therein, but such
revised price lists and discount sheets shall be filed with
the supervisory agency ten days in advance of the effective
date unless the supervisory agency shall authorize a shorter
period. Copies of revised price lists and discount sheets,
with notice of the effective date specified, shall be im-
mediately sent to all known manufacturers of such product,
who thereupon may file, if they so desire, revisions of their
price lists and/or discount sheets, .which shall become ef-
fective upon the date when the revised price list or discount
sheet first filed shall go into effect.
If the supervisory agency shall determine that in any branch
or subdivision of the electrical, manufacturing industry not
now selling its product on the basis' of price lists with or
without discount sheets with fixed terms of payment the dis-
tribution or marketing conditions in said branch or subdivi-
sion are similar to or the same as the distribution or market-
ing conditions in a branch or subdivision of the industry
where the use of price lists with or without discount sheets
is well recognized, and that a system of selling on net price
lists or price lists and discount sheets should be put into
9822
-2-
effect in such branch or subdivision, each manufacturer of the
product or products of such branch or subdivision shall with-
in twenty (20) clays after notice of such determination file
with the supervisory agency net price lists or price lists
and discount sheets, as the supervisory agency may direct,
containing fixed terms of payment, showing his prices and dis-
counts and terms of payment, and such price lists and/or dis-
count sheets and terms of payment may be -revised in the manner
hereinabove provided.
"No employer shall sell directly or indirectly by any means
whatsoever any product of the industry covered by the provi-
sions of this Article at a price lower or at discounts greater
or on more favorable terms of payment than those provided in
his current net price lists or price lists and discounts sheets."
This provision differs from the "standard" price filing article
which was later incorporated in the National Recovery Administration
policy in the following particulars!
(a) The code authority through the supervisory agency
was to act as administrator of the provision, collecting ;■
and distributing the actual price filings.
(b) A waiting period was included in the provision which
was mandatory unless (a) the filing was coincidental to
meet that of a competitor or (b) a shorter was authorized
by the supervisory agency.
(c) The permission for short filing to meet competition,
did not establish the competitor's filing as a limit of
change, but authorized the filing of "revisions" without
any restrictions. In actual fact, efforts were quite
successful in preventing the literal interpretation of
the provision, and coincidental filings were usually kept
to the scope of the initiatory revision.
(d) The only mandatory distribution of the filings was
to all known manuf rcturers of the specified product.
(e) The provision forbids sales at less than filed
prices, but does not prohibit sales at more than filed
prices.
(f) The fact that the last paragraph of Article X. stated
that "No employer shall sell etc" covered various difficult-
ies on enforcement due to varying interpretations of the
word "sell". This was later overcome by the following amend-
ment. Approved April 25, 1935.
9822
Amendment ;
ARTICLE X
CODE OF FaII COi. PETITION FOR THE
ELECTRICaI MANUFACTURING- INDUSTRY
Amend the third paragraph of Article X by inserting after the word
"shall", in the first line, the words -
"quote, hid, offer to sell, contract to sell or" so that the said
paragraph shall read as follows:
"lie employer snail quote, bid, offer to sell, contract to
sell or sell directly or indirectly "by any means whatsoever
any product of the industry covered by the provisions of this
article at a price lower or at discounts greater or on more
favorable terms of payment than those provider' in his current
net price lists or price lists and discount sheets."
Mechanism: Article X. provided that the varioxis supervisory agencies
should h. ve final authority in determining that prices should be filed
with respect to any product, within their jurisdiction. The supervisory
agencies were members of the industry, one to five in number, appointed
by the Board of G-ovenors of National Electrical iuanuf acturing Association,
usually upon the recommendation of the members of the group. In practice,
the cuestion of issuring any price-call was discussed at some meeting
of the group or section involved, and recommendations were made to the
supervisory agency with respect to the advisability of such a price-call,
the scope of the price-call, and a preliminary mailing-list to be used
for the initial call.
Each member subject to a price-call, was required to file a certain
number of copies of his price lists, specified in the call, and suffi-
cient to -oermit distribution to all participating companies. It was
assumed at first that the collection and distribution of the price-fil-
lings would be largely routine clerical work. However, the unexpected
volume of filings and the number of technical problems which continually
arose, made a larger and more specialized staff necessary, so that at
its peal:, it totaled eighteen persons. Of these, several were designated
-s executive secretaries for the different supervisory agencies, particu-
larly those having a large number of price-calls and many manufacturers
under their jurisdiction. These secretaries were individuals with some
degree of experience in the industry. It still remained true, however,
that the more troublesome situations were referred to the supervisory
agency for solution. When the problem was one of enforcement, the agency
which promised to be most effective within the entire code authority
structure was utilized.
When a filing was received, it was noted in a card index in which
each member of the group had a separate record. Unless a sufficient
number of copies were provided, the filing was deemed incomplete, and the
fil^r so notified. The filing was then checked to make certain that it
9822
-4~
conformed to the price-call. If accepted, the executive secretary so
notified the price-filing department and distribution proceeded auto-
matically. If the filing was found to be inadequate, the executive secre-
tary with held distribution and communicated at once with the filer.
The stipulated number of copies was such as to permit the building up
of a master file in the price-filing department, located at the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association offices in New York City. This
master file is the source of the basic data used in this study.
9822

.:• "EM PBICE 5TLIF& STUDY
Inception. The problem of the usefulness end dangers of price filing
had been a matter of great concern to the national Recovery Administration.
Lacl: of experience with the device made it necessary to formulate polic-r
and make specific decisions on the basis either of abstract reasoning or
limited incidents in some feu reported cases. Unfortunately,, there was
not sufficient observation of the various plans in action to build up
a large bod" of experience during the life of the ITRA as an administra.ting
agency.
However, \fti€h the ERA metamorphosed into a research organization,
it was felt that one of its most useful services might be to e;:amine -the
record of price behavior in various industries which had had experience
with the price-filing device. Because the electrical manufacturing indus-
try was the first to adopt the device and also because of its importance
among industries, its relatively long e:qierience with price-filing was felt
to be of particular significance. The national Electrical Manufacturers
Association, which had acted s.s code authority in the industry, vras ap-
proached concerning such a project. Immediately a committee of the associ-
ation was appointed to cooperate with iRA officials and the price— filing
records "'ere made available for their study.
Procedure. Inasmuch as the files were all in rev: York City, an office was
opened in the same building as the national Electrical Manufacturing Associ-
ation office, and a staff preceded with the actual organization of the
data. After consultation with the industry committee and examination
of the data, seventeen units of the industry operating under separate
price-calls were selected for detailed study operating the various condi-
tions and circumstances existing in the industry.
Uhile it was not possible to follow on identical procedure in every
case, the normal operation was to prepare a tabulated summary of the price
structure as it appeared on the original filing, company by company, A
similar tabulation was prepared for the price structure at the final
filings. A third tabulation, on a chronological basis, showed the series
of changes by which was brought about the transformation from the first
to the la.st filing.
In man;' cases, special tabulations were made in the hope that they
might illumine certain specific points, such as changes in net prices
for particular products, or differentials according to st}rle and grade
for some product which appears in many different specifications. These
various studies have been analyzed and some tentative conclusions con-
cerning the experience of specific groups are presented in the detailed
chapters which follow. A final chapter attempts to draw some broader
conclusions from the mass of detailed material presented.
Throughout the entire stud;-, members of and individuals familiar
with the industry have been most cooperative in helping to interpret or
explain events or technical situations, although all too frequently,
the history is unfortunately confused and largely a matter of personal
opinion and prejudice.

PURPOSF 0? THE STUDY
•
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Article X.
(Open Price Filing) on the electrical manufacturing industry. It seemed
important to determine the possibilities of the device as a method of
eliminating certain forms of unfair competition, and as a means of
assisting an industry to obtain the type of controls which are assumed
to exist in a competitive market. Furthermore, it was hoped to define
more clearly the technical procedures and administrative safe guards
which appear necessary or desirable to assure the operation of the device
in the public interest. From the point of view of the industry, it was
hoped that the study might shed some light on its problems in the field
of price.

0. CAUTIONARY COMMENTS
Despite the cooperative efforts of ^TEA and the industry, it is only
fair to say that these purposes have been accomplished only to a slight
degree. Many qu-stions about price-filing remain unanswered. The fault
lies in certain underlying conditions outlined belo^ which must be fully
recognised before the detailed reports are examined.
ITo Background. One serious difficulty was that no adequate information
was available concerning the level of prices or the nature of the various
price structures prior to price-filing, Tnere is no previous bench-mark
which can be used for comparison. In many instances, companies actually
had no formal orice structures in the -ire-code days, but established
-prices for customers without any basic classification or uniformity of
treatment. This was possible because of the lack of marketing information
and the many special relationships between 'manufacturer and customer
which had been developed. As a result, the original price-filing repres-
ented the first formal price structure for many companies in some of the
groups, and obviously there is no possible way of comparison with the past
short of actual study of old invoices. \~-?-ny of the early filings obvious-
ly were prepared by individuals who had little or no knowledge of ^hat a
.price list should1 look like or contain.
In other groups where the use of-ipublished price lists was custom-
ary, the pressure of the depressed state of the market had resulted in
the development of special, variable and secret discounts so that the
published price list was merely the starting point for the process of
bargaining. Even in those instances where the original filings were print-
ed lists dated several months prior to the price-call, there is no assur-
ance that they represented in fact the prices which obtained.
.This means t iat the original price-filing often started with price
lists veil above the selling prices which actually existed just prior
to the price— call, or with a price structure which was in fact different
from :;hc previous practice of individual bargaining oy the company which
filed it. Of course, it frequently happened that industries "'ere unable
to support these first prices. Consequently, a price decline may appear
to have taken place, although that decline may merely have brought prices
back to the level at which they were before the first filing was made.
Brevity of period. Although some of the branches of the electrical manu-
facturing industry operated under price-filing for as long as a year and
a~half, this interval is still an extremely short one for evaluating such
an experiment. In many of the groups, major changes in structiire took
place, and there is no assurance that the process of evolution had run
its course. Furthermore, some of the groups examined appear to have re-
latively inflexible prices, with changes only at infrequent intervals,
if at all. In such instances, perhaps a longer interval might have been
more revealing.
It was inevitable that in certain groups where the price situation
was particularly chaotic, the early months of price filing would see many
filings as the result of the ne" information about each other's policies
suddenly made available to the ambers of the group. Until this process
9822
-8-
of adjustment was completed, the behavior could hardly he taken as en
evidence of the normal price behavior of the group under -or ice-filing.
In some groups, there was evidence that a relatively stable structiire
had emerged after an interval of considerable price-filing activity,
while in others, there is no evidence that any appreciable degree of
stability was ever accomplished.
Technique. More will be said later concerning the technique of price-
filing. It began as an experiment with little in the way of experience.
In many of the grouos, the character of the filings both in form and
def initeness, improved decidedly during the neriod. Likewise, improve-
ments were made and might further have .been made in administration which
^ould have, made the device more effective.
Enforcement and Enforceability. The record of enforcement was not a
happy one. The industry -'as most diligent in its efforts to enforce the
provision, but the National Recovery Administration did not. give strong
support, and the doubtful enforceability made them reluctant to take of-
fenders into court. The result was a gradual disregard of the provisions
in some branches of the industry. This is evidenced by the decline in the
number of filings during the end of the period, and by the claims of the
industry that many companies disregarded their filed prices with impunity.
Consumer Pressure. Certain of the potential benefits of nr ice-filing,
particularly those tending to reduce excessive differentials in functional
or quantity discount, presumably come in large -oart from consximer oressure,
based upon knowledge of how other consumers may be treated. The element
of publicity is an important aspect of most price-filing theory, since
there may be buying sellers as well as buying buyers. The code provision
did not require distribution of information except to other manufacturers
governed 'oy the price-call.- There is no evidence that consumers were re-
fused data, but the fact remains that they did not seek or obtain it, and
therefore this important aspect of NRA's standard price-filing procedure is
absent in this instance.
Complexity of Sources. The period was one of tremendous change - demand .
and cost were both subject to wide variation. It is almost impossible to
separate the influence of any one factor in the midst of so many variables.
Limitations of Data. The study is based uoon the actual orice-filing records.
One cannot even be certain that they represent the orices which were in ef-
fect. The code provision was so i-'orded that it permitted convoanies to sell
above their filed orices, if they could and there are many claims that other
companies were selling below their filed -orices. Even assuming that the
price records were correct, they did not provide answers for many of the
problems which immediately appeared. They did not provide explanations for
their own behavior, nor did they give any evidence of the effects uoon volume
of sales, the use of different channels, or the fortunes of companies of
different size or type of organization. Perhaps, with a longer period, many
of these results ^ould have become evident, but they are certainly not exposed
by the record of the orice-filing. It is at least of some significance that,
except in very limited areas, fe'f members of the electrical manufacturing
industry appeared to have regarded their experiment rrith price-filing under
the 1IRA. as having oroved beneficial to the industry.
9822
-9-
Limitations of Tine. The study of the nrice-filing records oroved to "be
much -.r.ore of an undertaking than had been anticipated. It could not he
neatly reduced to an automatic routin ', but the filings of each grbuo and. •
sometimes each company raised new problems. The obscure nature of some
of the fili also made analysis difficult, while the volume of separate
filings to he examined riroved to run into the thousands. Furthermore, the
gradual liquidation of '"3A oersonnel "as a disturbing factor mf major im-
portance. Consequently, when the task of organizing the data into ork
ts --as completed as originally -olanned, the time remaining for. its
analysis '-as ell too snort.
It uas indeed a pretentious undertaking to develon a technique and
complete an analysis of such a bewildering mass of data in a oeriod of a
fe-7 months. 1" evert he-l<--ss, those close to the project have found it a most
stimulating e::ercise in practical statistics aid realistic economics. It
is to be hoped that same of the excitement of e:coloration may be reflected
in detailed and com-olic-ted Gase. histories of the ne::t thirteen chapters,
and that some of the broader conclusions may serve to shed some light on
certain aspects of the problem of nrice behavior. "•■:'.

CHAPTER 2i. RUB3ER COVERED BUILDING WIRE
A. THE INDUSTRY
Product
Description. A copper core consisting of one or more conductors,
stranded or solid and covered with rubber, lead, braid, or a ciMnation.
The product of the various producers is identical so far as vcntta* of
material, size, or performance are concerned. There is no element of eye
appeal or design.
Material -.: ,. Three major raw materials used are: rubber, lead, and
copper.
■Manuf ac tor in/.; process. A relatively simple mechanical process in-
volving the use o:t special eouipment. The product is made up in standard
lengths of 500 ft, coils or reels. There ar3 apparently six processing
patents controlled by one company and most but not all members of the
industry operate as licensees.
Variations and Grade . A series of products standardized according
to the following: (l) size of conductors (gage size), (2) number of con-
ductors, (3) stranded or solid conductors, (4) thickness of rubber wall,
(5) type of braid, (6^ thickness of lead sheath.
Standardization. Processing patents identity of technical specifi-
cations for particular application and reouirements of building ordinance
have brought about exact standards which are closely followed.
Companies
Number. Thirty-four.
Size. Producers vary in size from the smallest, employing about
200 people to the largest which employ in excess of 1000. About one-half
of the companies are large.
Other Products. All companies produce forms of wire and cable other
than rubber covered building wire. Several of the companies are engaged
in the copper industry while others operate generally in the Electrical
industry.
Location. The majority of the manufacturers are located in New Eng-
land, New York and Pennsylvania. Also one company in Virginia, one in
Michigan and two in Illinois.
Market
Use. The product is used by electrical contractors, industrials and
utilities in the construction of wiring systems. The largest market dur-
ing the code period was probably the Federal government.
Distribution. The product was sold direct to the consumer and through
distributors, the distributor in practically every case being given prefer-
9822
■11-
ence. Salesmen are employed and distribution made in given cases from
warehouses locrted in various parts of the country. The number of lineal
feet purchased varies from order to order.
Freight. The weight and bulk of the product cause freight to he an
important item.
price Filing
The original price call was issued on August 26, 1933, "becoming ef-
fective September 7, 1933. (See Exhibit A).. The call covered rubber
covered building wire more particularly described as Rubber Covered Build-
ing wire intermediate, 302 Rubber Covered Building Wire, Braided and Lead-
ed. All manufacturers of such products were directed to file 40 copies
of their price lists or price lists and discount sheets showing current
rices, fixed terms of sale, payment, delivery, and any other conditions
affecting the sales price on the products specified.
B. BASIC P-JCi: STEUCTUZE
with the exception of a few companies specializing in small package
lot, all companies in the group tend to conform to a basic price struc-
ture.. Frice. filings of six companies have been omitted in the entire
studs'- <hie to their being small, having short lines or imcomplete filings.
However, provision was made to illustrate companies of the type omitted
by including representative samples thereof in the list of conrDanies
examined.
The filings _ of one company are used as work sheets (Appendix A, Part
1, Section B) to depict the major structural changes discussed below in-
die tes that this single record adequately represents the basic changes
undergone by the structure during the period. The original price struc-
ture was completely revolutionized on Lay 1, 1934, and there were two
broad readjustments thereafter. These three significant changes are de-
scribed in the following sections:
1. Original structure - Effective September 1, 1935.
A. List Price. Per M. feet for each type and size
of wire.
3. Discounts.
1. Customer Classification
A. Distributers: list price less 1') per cent
Shipments to jobbers' stock to be treated
on carload basis regardless of quantity.
B. Contractors: industrials; railroads;
public utilities; United States counties,
cities, other municipalities at lits.
2. Quantity discount applying only to customers listed
under B above. (Based on purchases of items on
building wire price list only and not including
9822 f
-12-
freight and reels.")
A. $2,500 list value or more, list prices
less 5 per cent and carload rate even
though less than 30,000 pounds.
B. Less than $2,500 list value and LCL
freight.
C. Freight. Added in all cases to list price less discounts,
if any. The destination symbol bulletin, dated
April 15, 1932, divided the country into about
'■■ ' 51 '0 city and other areas with proper destination
symbols from 1 to 34, symbols differing in size
being assigned to each destination for leaded'
and non-leaded wire, and for LCL and C L lots.
Having determined the proper symbol for a given
destination, it is applied to the Freight Adder
Table which gives for size of wire and symbol,
the amount to be added per l,0,'l feet. The
lower symbols seem to cover the industrial areas
where the greatest distribution takes place.
Cities usually carry lower symbols than the sur-
rounding country areas. Shipments from ware-
house stocks add freight as if shipped from the
factory.
D. Terms. 2 per cent 10th prox. Net 60 days.
2. iia.j or structural change. Effective May 1, 1934. '.
A. List Price. One master list price to determine which of
four secondary list prices shall apply:
A. Less than $50 as determined by the master list.
B. $50 - $199.99 « » '<
C. $20 1 - 4,999.99 » " "
D. $5, OK) - and over ■'" • » "
Master list about 115 per cent above previous list. ' The
four secondary prices were all above the earlier list price.- The re-
ductions for size of purchase, are indicated by taking prices
or the list as 100, then prices are about 79, 72 and 68 for the
other three groups. :
B. Discounts.
•Wholesalers discount' on manufacturers'
shipment to wholesalers stock, discounts
apply to secondary lists as follows: A,
15$; B, 15f=; C, 10$; D, 5$. These dis-
counts make the net of C and D equal, with
B only slightly above.

Net Effect of Change. The change brings about a complete revolution
in the price structure. A much more detailed Quantity discount structure
is established. It also shifted the price basis on purchases over 100
lbs. from a list plus freight to a delivered price basis.
In order to make more exact comparison, Exhibits B. Tables 1 and 2
give the earlier price structure for two types and size of wire, and
Tables 3 and 4 the prices after the revision. Due to the fact that vari-
ous types or sizes of wire do not move with exact uniformity, these
tables are only illustrative of price measurements in the entire' industry.
However, they do serve to show the effect of the major structural changes
which applied to all products of the industry. In these two examples,
the resulting change may be compared for 'three classes of customers as
follows:
1. Under the new schedule, a smell purchaser not a wholesaler would
have the following -prices:
List A - less than $50 $26.95
List B - $50 - $199.99 21.24
List G - $200 -'$4,999.99 19.47
Under the old schedule, he would have purchased at list ($16.80) plus
freight. In no section of the country would freight have brought the
price up to list A. The list B price is less than the previous price for
all destinations with a symbol exceeding 20. The list C price is less
than the previous price for all destinations with a symbol exceeding 12.
2. ?or an industrial purchaser talcing over $2, 50\ the possible clas-
sifications in the new schedule are:
List C - $200 - $4,999.99 $19.47
List B - Over $5, ')■ » * 18.44
The old schedule, allowing 5 per cent discount, was $16.16 plus freight.
The list C price is less than the previous price for all destinations with
symbol exceeding 16, and for list D, destinations exceeding 11.
3. For wholesalers purchasing for stock, the prices according to
size of purchase in the new schedule are:
9822
-14-
List A less than $50 $22.90
List B $50 - $199.99 18.27
List C $200 - $4, 999.99 17.50
List D $5,000 and over 17.50
The old schedule, allowing 10 per cent discount, was $15.32 plus freight.
The new price is therfore higher on A purchases for all destinations, and
less on B purchases for all beyond destination symbol 14, and for C and D,
"beyond destination symbol 10.
Another interesting aspect of the schedule is that the inverse char-
acter of the wholesalers discount, i.e., larger for small purchases, tends
to offset the differences of the lists, and reduce or eliminate the quan-
tity discount aspect as it affects wholesalers.
The net result is that prices for small purchases are increased to
all points, the increases being greatest for points with the smallest
destination symbols. For large purchases, prices are lower at points
having large destination symbols and higher for those having small symbols.
The amount higher or lower depends on the size and type of the wire pur-
chased as well as the size of the destination symbol.
3. Lla.jor structural change. Effective July 5, 1934.
A. List Price. The master list -orice was increased on
all wire sizes, and the coverage of the
secondary price lists was revised as
follows:
A. Broken package less than 50'". ■
B. Standard package $200 to $199.99 list.
C. Standard package $200 to $4,999.99 list.
D. Standard package $5, ''00. list and over.
Prices in the new group A correspond rather closely with
the old below $50 group, although there is some reduction in
the list for large wire sizes where the price per foot is so
high that a purchase of 499 feet might have been in the old
• group C before. The other three groups include a number of
small increases or decreases for particular types and sizes
of wire.
B. Discounts. Wholesalers discounts on manufacturers'
.shipments to wholesalers stock increased
to discount in. list A, 17-g$; B, 17-g$;
U, Xog/O, JJ, '2/ °
Wholesalers discount on manufacturers'
shipment direct to customer of wholesaler
still 5 per cent except forlist D, re-
duced to 2-g- per cent. The destination is
eliminated between shipments applying on
9822
<-15~«
specific 'building job contracts and
other direct to customer shipments.
C« Freight. ITo change
L, Terns. ITo change.
Net Effect of Changes: The actual effect of this revision is diffi-
cult to determine Since it represents a change in classification (both
through increase of the master list nd introduction of physical measure-
ment), an increase in wholesalers' discounts, and revisions of specific
jorices for certain grades and sizes of wire.
The transactions included under groups C. ana D have apparently not
been affected, except that the increase in the master list throws border
line cases into the D group. However, List A now includes transactions
involving less than 500 feet, rather than those under $50. This still
pe lalizes the purchaser of small quantities, and extends the penalty to
all purchases of broken packages of large size wires, which, if entered
at more than $50, would previously have been priced according to Lists
B or C.
The results of the changes in' secondary List B and the increased
wholesalers' discounts are indicated in Ta'.bles;5 and 6, which should be
compared with Tables' 3 and 4. In the-ifeKaiaple of braided wire (Table 5)
the larger discounts rerenbre than off set- by. the increa.se in the second-
ary list prices, resulting in a net -increase in price to all purchasers
the smallest increase being to wholesalers. For solid single conductor
"ire, (Table 5), there is no change in secondary list prices for A and B
purchases, so the increased discounts resulted in lower net trices for
wholesalers. The secondary lists for C pnd D ^ere increased, an increase
which is approximately offset for wholesalers by their increase discounts.
The changes in the discount structure' resulted in shifting the dif-
ferentials among types of transaction in four particulars:
(a) The gap "ps widened between the price to wholesalers purchasing
for stock and other customers.
(o) "Thile discounts -'ere increase • to wholesalers purchasing for
stock, no general change was made in the 'discounts for manufacturers'
shipments direct to wholesalers' customers.'
(c) The original exemption from discount of mmufacturers' shipments
direct to wholesalers' customer-; of $200 or more, "as eliminated.
(d) A penal. ty of a lower discount was placed upon manufacturers'
shipments direct to wholesalers'- customers' nnde-r List D (purchases of
stenirr-;. jacka ;es, $5,000 master list and over.)
The net results are therefore increased penalties on less than stan-
dard "cka ;es, increased differential between wholesalers and other cus-
tomers, and so.-;e increases in ?rice.

C. Full coils, 2,500' and over to $150 list.
D. Orders of $150 to $4,000 list.
E. $4,000 list and ever.
The master price list was greatly reduced as the result of using List A
rather than a separate master list. The secondary prices are difficult
to compare because the boundaries are not identical, and the changes for
different sizes and types of wire are not uniform.
B. Discounts. Wholesalers discounts on manufacturers' shipments
to wholesalers' stock list A, 20°£; list B, 20f0;
list C, 17^; list D, 12-^; list E, 7§#.
Wholesalers discounts on manufacturers' shipments
direct to wholesalers' customers, unchanged at
5fo, the special treatment of old list D under
this heading having been eliminated by price
filing July 5, 1934.
C. Freight. No change.
D. Terms. No change.
Net Effect of Change . The dropping of the separate master list de-
vice means that the transactions are now rated on a smaller value basis.
This is approximately offset by the equivalent reduction in the boundaries
defining the size groups.
List A is now limited as to value as well as quantity, thus removing
much of the penalty for less than standard packages of large and more ex-
pensive wire which will now be priced under List D. List E prices are
now based solely on quantity, permitting orders of small size wire though
low in value to be recognized on a uantity basis.
Because of the change in master list and the new definition of boun-
daries among the groups, net price changes vary according to the nature
of the transaction. However, it is possible to state:
(a) The differential between distributors and other customers has
further widened.
(b) The redefinition of the groups to which the secondary lists
are applied was such as to increase the number of possible' transactions
in the lower price group. For example, small quantity but high value
purchases of large size wire now may fall under Lists D and E. Large
quantity but small value purchases of small size wire may fall under B
and C.
5. Summary of Major Structural Changes.
9322
-17-
The record of this industry is particularly interesting due to the
major changes in its price structure during the period under observation.
TJithout detailed records of individual transactions - in terms of grade,
type and size of wire, location of ourchase, and size of order - it is
inroossible to make any satisfactory calculation concerning the changes in
the general level of prices. However, it is possible to draw certain cont»
elusions concerning the effect of the internal changes of the structure
upon different types of transactions.
A. Shift to delivered prices. The original price structure provi-
ded for factory prices plus a computed freight charge, based upon a spec-
ial system of determining freight charges according to the destination
regardless of the point of shipment.- This resulted in higher freight
adders for areas such as Texas and Colorado, and smaller additions for
the industrial northeast. The revised structure simply includes F. 0. B.
poin.t of shipment for less than 100 lbs., and a flat delivered price for
all larger transactions. The net result of the new structure with uni-
form -orices for all destinations is a higher price in the industrial east
and north central areas, where the bulk of the sales are made. On the
other hand, prices for other areas were reduced, frequently exceeding the
maximum increase. Because of the nature of the product, these freight
adders were very considerable, and the revision in the price structure
meant a major change in net price at many points.
B. ' Increased functional differentials. The original structure used
the freight charge feature as a method of distinguishing certain types of
transactions. All wholesalers purchasing for stock were charged' freight
on the carload basis, regardless of quantity. However, the primary func-
tional differential was a reduction of 10 per cent from' list to wholesalers.
The final revision results in differentials from 7|- per cent to 20 per
cent depending upon the size of the order, for wholesalers purchasing for
stock as distinct from other customers. However, evidently in order to
distinguish between a wholesaler -oerforming the function of holding stock
etc., and merely taking orders, a new discount of only 5 per cent appears
for cases of direct shipment by manufacturer to wholesaler customers.
T.'it'-out some such special class, customers might place their orders through
wholesalers, splitting the larger discounts. The new structure strenthens
the position of the stock carrying distributor in the marketing structure.
C. Quantity differentials . The original structure allowed a 5 per
cent reduction on orders of more than $2, 510 and made a distinction in the
freight adders between carload and less than carload lots. The first re-
vision created four secondary price lists which decreased in price accord-
ing to the dollar volume of the order. Farther revisions were primarily
efforts to find a formula which would recognize properly the fact that the
dollar volume of an order is the result both of quantity and price, and
that the prices of wire of different sizes vary enormously. The final
scheme introduces both physical quantity rnd value as criteria for deter-
mining the classifications. The system of wholesaler discounts which
likewise decrease with increases in quantity and value orders, tends to
nullify quantity differentials as far as the wholesaler is concerned.
It should further be noted that the purchaser of less than standard
packages was severely penalized.

There are about 15 filings "hich see;1, to have been of sone gen-
eral significance. (Appendix 2 Pari 1 and Append i:-: A Part 1 Section
o) The original filing vas lade before September 17, 1931. by tweiity-
five of the twenty-eight connanies studied. The remaining three co:;-
sanies nade their first filing in September, . 19C-' in connection with
filing number 11 concerning snail oachage lots.
A sir rial"" of these 15 filings is given in the Table on the op-
posite >age, sho-ing the com 'nr' lendi ig and the extent and rapidity
\7ith •.'hich other cormanied followed.. Complete detail is given in Ao-
pend.i:: A., Part I. and in Appendi:- . ., Part I.
It, has been indicated th; fc filings ho. 1,4,6., 14 and 15 effect a
series of major structural changes. Only 1 co: roa-.iies made all of
those filings. Pour companies hos. 11, IV, 1"., and 15 may be elimin-
ated, fro - consideration for the moment on the round that they con-
cerned the. :selves with snail pachage lots. The following records for
seven of the cova~-nies indicate that eve.i tuoso -.hich did. not follow
the mat tern of major structural change en .ctly, nevertheless cannot
be r ard.ed as entirely/ non-conformist.
Comr-any ho. 1 made Pilings ho. 1, 6, 7 and 14, but not ho. 4

plste statement of structure, prices and discounts. Piling ho. 14 was

of sone companies from one or the other possibly explrined by the fact
that Piling ho. 14 covers lubber mid hraid raid ho. 15 covers Rubber

that certain companies hove peculiarit ies which account in a large
measure for their divergence in '"/hole or in ua.rt from the sta.nda.rd
structure. For example: Cornea iv ITo. 1 does not malre a conrolete line
and as has teen previously indicated, Co manias such as ITo. 17, 18 and
19 concern themselves with small package lots
Commanies ITo. IS and 20 originated Filing ITo, 4. Commxny ilo. 13
originated Filing Ilo. 3, and was one of the four co:roanies initiating
Filing "go. 15 ~s was Corronny go. 20.
Filing go. 7 was initiated "oy Con-o-n"- Ilo. 3.
Filing Ilo. 14 '"as initiated "oy Companies Ilo. 20, 22 and 25.
Thus there is no apparent outstanding leader in structural revis-
ions. Occasionally nore than one connany initiated a ^articular filing.
Considering all the filings, it is interesting to note that 11 differ-
ent co. roaiiies have made some originating contribution to the develon-
ment of the new structure.
'Jaiting Period. Filings ITo. 7, 3, 9, 10, 13, 14 and 15 were made
effective with a waiting t>eriod shorter than 10 days. Of the remain-
in]; filings ITo. 1 need not "be considered since it was the original fil-
ing and go, 2 and 5 must of necessit}1- he excluded for there are no
effective dates specified. giling go. 4 was initiated with a wait-
ing period in excess of 10 days as was Filin" ITo. 6, Filings ITo. 5 and
11 '"ere initiated with exactly 10 days as a waiting oeriod.
In case of Filing ITo. 4, although it was effective llry 1, 1934,
comaiies meeting it as late as Hay 14 were given an effective date
iiay rirst. With regard to Filin'; ITo. 5 which was effective Hay 28 with
a 10 day waiting -oeriod, companies filin; in conformit3'- thereto as late
as Jul-/ 24 '-ere given an immediate effective date. The same general
situation was true of Filings ITo. V, 3, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15.
In Summary it a;omears:
1. That the Supervisor;'' Agency often exercised its ontion to re-
duce the waiting period,
2, If a drastic change was made as in the case of filings Ilo, 4
and S the Supervisory Agency o-oerated on the basis that the full 10 days
was needed for the industry at lar.je to accuaint itself and to adopt
such measures as ea,ch member saw fit,
3, After the effective da.te of such filings it aomears that the
Supervisory Agency remitted any subseouent meeting to go into effect
without a waiting recuirement.
4, In ever;" instance , there were members of the industry who met
the filin;, after the effective da.te.

For the :iost part, these filings vrere reouired to fulfill the 10 da/

These filings serve to illustrate that although the general ??at-
tern oi bhe nrice structure in this ;roup '~as definitely fixed at each
nonent of tine j- there were :iaay specirl deviations to meet specific or
tenporar" situations. For example, such filings ".'ere reouired for syn-

E. SUMMARY
No group among those studied showed a greater change in its method of
doing business during the price-filing period than the one here discussed.
The major changes v/ere:
A. Uniform prices for all destinations instead of prices delivered at
separate destinations.
B. Increased number of prices reflecting differences in size and type
of transaction.
3. Increased preference to . stock- carrying wholesalers.
D. Severe penalties on broken packages and increased premiums on
quantity purchases by non-wholesalers-.
These changes were accomplished with no apparent confusion. It would
appear that those initiating the major changes, were concerned with the
development of a general price pattern rather than furthering their indivi-
dual interests by grasping or endeavoring to create temporary opportunities
or a dvantages. Furthermore, there v/ere evidently a number of members of the
industry critically observing the situation and taking the lead from time
to time in initiating adjustments or revisions.

CHAFTER 3
FLEXIBLE CORE GROUP
A. The Industry
1. Product
Description
Flexible cords are stranded cooper wires insulated and covered with
various materials which vary with different applications.
Materials
The materials used in fabricating flexible cords include: copper,
rubaer, cotton, rayon, asbestos, paraffin, bees wax, p^per, and flame
proofing compound.
Frocess
The fabrication of flexible cords is a machine process consisting
of stranding and serving the wire, applying filler to round out and then
applying insulation and outer covering.
Variations - Standardization
Flexible cords fall into two major groups:
1. Approved
2, Non-Approved
Approved cords are considered to be those carrying Underwriters'
Laboratories Inc., labels and conforming to specification and require-
ment of the Underwriters' Laboratories Inc.
In the approved group, specified types of cords are given letters
identifying the type and classification which are the same for all manu-
facturers and, eliminating differences due to ability to manufacture,
approved cords are the same for all manufacturers,
Non- Approved include:
a. Those which, due to differences in quality, thickness of in-
culation, copper size, braid construction, and the like, are produced
and sold without Underwriters' Laboratories Inc. labels. These cords
vary as to the quality injected by individual manufacturers.
b. Types of flexible cord for which Underwriters' Laboratories
Inc., has no classification or tyoe letters. Cords of this tvoe do not
S822
-31-
vary particularly from one manufacturer to another because construction
and specification are determined by the application.
Coflj^ruction
Flexible cords are usually designed for voltages of 100 or 220, at
not more than ten or fifteen amperes. The wires vary in gua^e size from
aboat No. 22 to No. 14 AWG-.
The si?e of wire, number of conductors, and the amount of type of
insulation varies in accordance with proposed aoolication,
2. Companies
Number
Price calls '"ere sent to fifty-seven companied of which thirty-five
were found to be active producers of flexible cords as defined in the
price call.
Size
Companies vary from smallest, employing as low as ten people to large
ones, employing more than one thousand. Since other products are also
manufactured by some companies and figured on employment by departments
are not available, it is not oossible to give accurate estimates on the
number of employees of e^cn company engaged in the production of felxible
cords. For our purposes, it may be considered that there are two sizes of
companies, small and large, with about an equal number of each.
Classes
Rrughly speaking, there are three classes of flexible cord manufact-
urers:
1. Ttu se who manufacture flexible cords only.
2. Those who manufacture heavier wires as well is cords, but to
whom cords are an important item.
3. Tnose whose main business is in tne field of heavier wires with
felxible cords produced namly to fill out a complete line of insulated
wires.
Locati~~
The majority of the manufacturers are located in the so-called
Eastern industrial area, especially around New York City, with a few in
Mchigan and Illinois.
3. tiarke t
Distribution
Flexible cords are sold orimarily to three orincipal
9822
-o,d~
customer divisions:
1. Chain stores and main order houses.
2. Jobbers
3. Electrical appliance manufacturers, including radio manufacturers.
4. Froblems
It is alleged by the Industry that their main nroblem arises from
the differences in overhead between the large manufacturers, producing
complete lines cf insulated wires, and the small manufacturers, producing
flexible cord only and not necessarily a full line of that. The result
is that the small manufacturer is reported to be able to sell at a nrice
above his cost but below the cost of the large manufacturer.
The flexible cord group had to absorb manufacturers of other uro-
ducts who found that their market was rapidly disapoearing. Two illus-
trations concern manufacturers originally engaged in producing buggy
whips and corset strings. Their entry into the flexible cord industry
was made easy by the fact that the machinery used in braiding the outer
cover of buggy whips and that. used in braiding corset strings was prac-
tically the same as that used in braiding flexible cords.
Flexible ■ cords, low in price, inferior as to quality and Dermormance,
have appeared on the market in such quantities as to cause concern to
the Industry. To offset this increased growth of so-called "unsafe"
cords, manufacturers have expended considerable s.uns in fostering
ordinances aid in attemoting to educate the consumer in the value of
using only approved flexible cords.
5. Open Price Filing
Price call
The purpose of the price call was three-fold:
1. Filing of information which would, at all times, advise
manufacturers as to the state of the market.
2. Stabilisation of orices
3. Elimination of unfair competitive practices.
• The price call, Exhibit A, was issued on August 26, 1933, effective
September 7, 1933, based on the first paragraph of' Article X of the code
of fair competition for the Electrical Manufacturing Industry. The call
was cancelled in F-bruary, 1935.
Work Sheets
Examination of the records of price filing in the felxible cord
9822
~<DC~~
group revealed that filings made, expecially the early ones, were
voluminous, inaccurate, vague, and difficult to follow. Further con-
sideration showed that display of customer classifications and discounts
for seven of the companies would sufficiently illustrate that phase of
the price structure. So far as chronological record of filings was con-
cerned, the filings of nine companies were found to represent the charges.
The initial and final terms of payment and delivery for each company
was recorded. To illustrate packaging and packaging charges the nine
companies used in the chronological records of price filings were found
to be adequate. In addition to the display of list prices in connection
with customer classification and discount, net prices on four types of
cord were computed for one company.
The work sheets are, therefore, as follows:
1. Appendix B, Fart 2 Customer classifications and their discounts
with separate sheets for:
Section a. Flexible cords and portables
Section b. Heater cords
Section c. Radio wires
Section d. Radio hook-up wires and radio lead-in wires
Section e. Fixture wires
Section f. Delivery terms, terms of payment, and packaging
data
The purpose in setting up separate sheets fcr a,b,c,d,e, and f was
to illustrate the major product groupings and to show differences of
discount and customer classification.
2. Appendix A, Fart 2 Chronological Record of Filings by
Companies.
3. Appencix A, Fart 2a Price Trends. Since prices change with
considerable similarity both in the" point of degree and time, this
study is based on the filings of one company.
9822
-34-
B. Basic Structure
1. Original and Final Filings
The original filing, effective September 7, 1933, was in-
complete in the case if most companies. Some failed to file prices
for their entire line, others failed to quote discounts, terms, pack-
aging data, and the like. There was some confusion iue to the fact
that the product grouping used in the price call was not familiar
to some companies and as a result, prices were filed on -products
not included as for example, custom cord sets and rubber insulated
fixture wires.
The form and content of the filings improved somewhat
after the first filing, and in the latter months, filings were
clear and complete in all essential particulars. ' For example,
Company No. 8, a leader in the Industry, ma.de a very -poor original
filing, failing to quote prices on all types of cord manufactured by
it and omitting discounts for tmo types. These omissions were
corrected and the subsequent filings of this company, were in good
order.
Price
Throughout the entire period of price filing, 'a list price
and discount basis was used. In the "Flexible Cords and Portables"
product group, the list price was more than doubled on the type
cord used as a representative specimen on the work sheet almost im-
mediately after the original filing. Following the list price further,
a reduction of twenty-five percent occurred, followed almost im-
mediately by another reduction of f ity percent in March' of 1934. This
list was maintained for about eight months and was then increased less
than 5$. Thus, during the period of price filing, the net result
was that the list price on the specimen cord was reduced from eleven
dollars to nine dollars and forty cents per thousand feet.
Net Prices
Consider now list prices in conjunction Vith quoted dis-
counts. The original list price of eleven dollars was discounted
10$, 10$- 5$ , and 10$-10$. The second list, twenty-four dollars per
thousand feet, an increase of one hundred and twenty percent over
the original, was discounted 48$ to 65$. This same discount applied
also to a subsequent list of eighteen dollars. However, the fourth
list of nine dollars carried a discount more ccmparable with the
original. These discounts were 5$, 5$~5$, 10$, 15$, and 15$-5$.
The fifth list of nine dollars and forty cents carried discounts
similar to those in effect on the nine dollar list.
Examining the net price on four types of wire illustrated,
in Appendix A, part 2a, the final price on Type CF #18 Rayon has
been reduced under the original price 25$. Type PO #18-16/30 rayon
has been reduced 28$. Notice, however, that type SJ #18-16/30 and
9822
-35-
Type #18-1/64: Radio Wire, Solid Tinned, has been reduced respectively
2fo and 9$ (See Appendix A, Part 2a, note on No. 18-1/64 Radio Wire
Solid Tinned) .
Members of the Industry attributed the wide variations in the
amount by which these net prices were reduced .to differences in the
respective nature of the various types of wires. For instance, Type
PO, size No. 18, a wire with a braided cover, is the most widely used
and easiest to manufacture. Consequently there are many and more
"in and out" producers of this cord. The reverse is true of type SJ,
a rubber covered wire, and of radio wire. Hence the greater stability
of net prices for these types during the price filing period.
Customer Classif icfitions and Discounts
As has been previously stated, flexible cords are sold primarily
to three principal customer divisions. These three divisions were
maintained, except for one brief period, throughout the entire period
of Tjvice filing, but each one was divided and subdivided in various
ways from time to time.
In the first, Chain Stores and Mail Order Houses, such terms
appear as; Chains, Class A and Class B; Mail Order Houses; National
Syndicates; Purchasing Service Companies, "Billed by Us" and "Billed
by Them"; and Department Stores.
In the second, Jobbers, such terms appear as: Distributors;
Distributors (sales to manufacturers); Jobbers and Wholesalers;
Sales Agencies; arid Dealers.
The third, Electrical Appliances Manufacturers, was subdivided
on the basis of quantity with the exception of Wiring Device Manu-
facturers who were given a flat discount. This Wiring Device
Manufacturer classification is reported. to have been made in an
effort to correct a situation where a manufacturer designated an
actual -iring device manufacturer as a selling agent for his own
product, (not a legal "agent"). The agent would obtain "listing"
with Class A chain-store concerns. This arrangement made it
possible for the manufacturer to sell to the chains, through the
agent, without the prices being made public. The effort at cor-
rection failed to bring sUch agreements into the open and the clas-
sification was soon dropped.
In addition to the three principal types of customers, «ther
customer classifications include Central Stations, Contractors,
United States Government, Railroads and Industrials.
The Industry states that prior to open price filing some pro-
ducers of flexible cord specialized or sold only to chain stores
or distributors, some had no jobber business, some dealt exclusively
with jobbers, some sold direct to manufacturers, some sold all
three. With the advent of price filing, this appears to have
changed. New customer classifications were created; old customer
classes rere expanded, contracted, and realigned, and often further
9822
-36-
redefined internally by shifting discounts for quantity.
Lost of the companies under consideration started their filings
with from three to five customer classes without wide differentials,
among which "Distributors any Quantity", "Distributors, to Manufacturers",
"Manufacturers", "jobbers rnd wholesalers", "chain store "warehouses",
figured most prominently. This resulted in a relatively sinrple
structure. One conroany, however, starting somewhat later than the
others, appeared to elect a policy of bidding more directly to
specific large buyers and consumers, rather than relying upon in-
termediaries. This comoany quoted a broad list oi customers, in-
cluding Chain Stores (Classes A and B), United States Government,
Railroads, Dealers, Jobbers and Wholesalers, Central Stations,
Contractors, Purchasing Service Companies and '~iring Device Manu-
facturers with chain store listing. This change was accompanied by
a virtual doubling of list prices, previously cited, making it
possible for discounts to be more finely diversified. Almost all
of the others followed.
Pour months later, under the leadership of two other comnanies,
this trend of bidding directly for buyers was further emphasized by
almost complete concentration on a new class termed "all buyers",
which was sub-divided by means of a sliding scale of quantity dis-
. counts and supplemented by a single jobbing or distributing group,
receiving discount equal to maximum quantity discount. The ful-
fillment of this particular phase was apparently reached in the
next step with the general elimination of the remaining jobbers and
distributors as special classes, and the consolidation of all buyers
into a single class at a single discount.
This new structure was not maintained. Signs of recession ap-
peared only a few weeks later with the return of special treatment
for a few jobbing and distributing groups. After another short
interval the reaction was apparently completed, lists and discounts
reduced below the original level, the "all buyers" class eliminated,
mail order houses and national syndicates snecif ically recognized,
and intermediary classifications such as jobber-wholesaler, dis-
tributors, and jobbers became more plentiful. Some of the latter,
however, again disappeared in succeeding minor moves. In the end,
practically all of the filings had with respect to customer clas-
sification regained their original character, although with
changes such as.
(1) Disappearance of unconditioned distributors and jobbers.
(2) A greater differential for mail order houses and buying
syndicates.
(3) A discount for "all buyers" on large orders and
(4) stiffer quantity requirements for manufacturers and "Dis-
tributors to manufacturers".
It is not to be inferred, of course, that the foregoing
pattern was exact for all groups, nor that all member companies
moved with military precision within each group. The pattern was
roughly representative o'f the price movements of Flexible Cords and
9822
-57-
Portables, Heater Cords and Fixture Wire.
The initiative in instituting classification changes lay ™ith
t-o companies principally, as was the c-^se with price, although one
or another of the "followers" c-irae forward at times and proved able
to at' least flex the course of events. One company ignored entirely
the revisions of its competitors in the Heater Cord grout) while con-
forming in other groups to which it also belonged. Conformance was
occasionally ■ complete throughout a group as in. the case of the
switch to the several quantity brackets of the new "All Buyers"
class and thence to the consolidated class of "All Buyers". In
other instances while closely obedient to the trend, comnliance was
only approximate ?s to both classifications and size of discounts.
There was in fact quite a pattern of minor deviations in spots, pre-
sumable rirovoked by the emergence of a trend not suited to the
needs of a number of members. It is a.cain emphasized however, that
in general the industry marched and wheeled fairly closely behind
those exercising initiative. In contrast with this type of in-
fluence, is the fact that simultaneous filing of identical prices
and customer classes, was very rare; two or three instances were
all that could be found in the year and a quarter's accumulation
of filings, and these might easily ha.ve been caused by parent-
subsidiary relations. Independent and highly specialized classi-
fications were sometimes put forward by one or another company,
but usually did not long remain.
It -as not uncommon for individual companies to extend a
new classification to all of the c'Ord grouos to which they belonged,
only to shortly drop the class from one or more of the group. In
one instance, the establishment by a comnany of an "All Buyers"
class for Flexible Cords was folloed the next day by a similar
classification for buyers of Heater Cords and a month later for
the Fixture Wire Trade. . There was very little evidence, on the
other hand, of extensions of either classif icafion or discounts to
buyers of one group of products forcing a similar extension on other
products sold to the same customers. '
Quantity Discounts "
The volume required to receive quantity discounts, and the
amount of discount frequently changed. The minimum and maximum
limits of quantity discount were 250 feet and 500,000 feet. Look-
ing at Company No. 23 on the work sheet "Flexible Cords and
Portables", Appendix B, Part 2, we -see that originally distri-
butors were given extra discount when purchasing 50,000 feet or more.
For the same company at the same time, manufacturers' discounts
were restricted entirely to purchases of 50,000 feet or more. The
same comnany in January of 1S34, quoted a maximum discount to distri-
butors rega"dless of quantity, and +o all other "buyers discounts
ranged from fifty to sixty percent based on quantities of less
than 10,000 feet. to 200,000 feet or more. In February, all buyers
received discount regardless of quantity.
9822
-38-
In March 1934, distributors, jobbers, mail order houses and
national syndicates all received the same discount (5$) regardless
of quantity. Manufacturers received an equal discount on purcha.se s
of 100,000 feet or more. In July 1934, distributors, jobbers, and
wholesalers received'an equal discount re gar less of quantity. All
other buyers received 5$ on purchases of 100,000 to 499,999 feet,
and lOfo on purchases of 500,000 feet or more. Occasionally new
filings Fere made for the sole purpose of increasing or> decreasing
the quantities that had to be bought by particular customer classes
to receive the current discount.
The same sort of shifting quantity schedule is in effect for
all other companies in greater or lesser degree.
Example of Filings of a Single Company
Continual shifts in price, classification and discount
policies are necessarily confusing, and the marches and counter
marches of this particular industry are interestingly reflected in
the following chronological details of a single company' s filings
(net prices have been computed to permit easy comparison and are
entered parenthetically after the respective discount figures):
September 27, 1933: Original filing, list price $11 per L',
three classes - Mfgs. purchasing 50 M or over 10 percent
($9.90) - Jobbers and Wholesalers 10 percent - ($9.90) -
Chain Store Warehouses 10 per cent ($9.90).
October 9, 1933: list price upped to $24; classes in-
creased to seven, three of them subdivided - Mfgs. buying
less than 50 k 58 percent (10.08), 50 M or more 60 per-

($8.93) - All Buyers 500k' or more 10 percent ($8.10).
An Examnle of Shifting Leadership
Prices and classifications in the radio '*rire:s group are more
specialized than in the other grpuns. The evolution of .customer
classification is equally interesting, and the shifting relations
between "leaders" and "followers" even more so. A skeleton outline
summarizing the above has been assembled from the Radio Tire work
sheet, Appensix B, Part 2, and is herewith submitted.
Company No. 3 made its original filing on October 6, at a
$9.90 list price, setting up seven customer classes, most of
the classes large direct buyers with discounts varying from 40 to
50 percent. Companies Nos. 12 and 7 followed on October 26, and
November 3, respectively. On November 15, however, Company No. 8
jumped the list price to $12.00, confining its classification to
Jobcers and Radio kanufacturers, and Radio Parts Manufacturers, and
giving them about the same, discount as they received before. Com-
panies Nos. 23, 25, 7, and 12 followed -ith some minor variations.
9322
-40-
On January 31, Company Not. 25 returned to a $9. CO list price,
selling to all buyers at 60 percent discount. On February 6, Company
No. 12, rejecting this new arrangement, adhered to its previous
filing which conformed with that of Company No. 8. On February 23,
Company No. 8 compromised by establishing a single "All Buyers" class
at 68 percenti discount but retaining its $12.10 list. On March 5,
Company No. 25 stood pat except for the addition of a 65 percent dis-
count to all buyers- taking a million feet or more. Company No. 8
finally accepted this plan on Larch 15. On the same day Company No.
23 acceoted the new classification but stuck to the $12.10 list it
had held from the beginning.
On March 20, Company No. 25 again stepped out, retaining its
$9.60 list but changing its customer classes to manufacturers buying
50M1 or more and Jobbers, Mail Order- Houses and Chain Store concerns,
both at 60 and 5 percent. Company No. 12 followed but non-conformist
Company No. 23 still clung to $12.10 list and went back to "All
Buyers" at discounts from 60 to 65 percent.
Conroany No. 8 now altered the entire structure by quoting $8.18
list, (which thereafter was the only list price filed by any company
to the end of the period), and selling to all buyers on a quantity
basis at premiums or discounts; . plus 15, plus 10, list, minus 5,
minus 10, and to Jobbers, Mail Order Houses and Chains at minus 5.
Companies Nos. 23, 7, 10, and 6 followed in close order, except
that No. 23, always independent in one or more, particulars, omitted
the Jobbers, Mail Order House and Chain.,classes. The other com-
panies did not change.
This situation stood until July: 5, when Company No. 10, a new
comer among the leaders, accepted the now generally prevailing
classification but increased the discounts to: List, minus 5, minus 15,
minus 20, minus 25 and 20 respectively. Nos. 8, 7, and 23 followed
immediately (this was the first time that No. 23 had followed in toto).
On July 17, however, Company No. 25 reaffirmed the less favorable dis-
counts set up by Company No. 8 on April 16, but which it had not
theretofore followed. Companies Nos. 7, 8, 23, and 10 also then
made the change.
Freight
Originally, all companies quoted f.o.b. factory, with freight
allowed to destination, onp hundred pounds or more. In the final
filing, all but three companies continue the same terms. These
three allowed to National Syndicate Stores full freight on ship-
ments w. o.g. (with other goods) weighing fifty pounds or more and
of total value of thirty dollars and allowed full freight on ship-
ments regardless of weight or value to metropolitan New York, Newark,
Hoboken, Jersey City, Philadelphia, and Chicago, In the case of one
company, the same allowance was made to metropolitan Philadelphia
area, Chicago, Cicero, Roaeland, Kensington, and San Francisco. For
work sheet see Appendix B, Part 2.

-41-
Terms of Payment
The original filings quoted terras generally 2 per cent, 10th
prox, net 30 to 60 days or some approximation thereof. Exceptions
"•ere one half per cent, ten days, net 30, and another five percent
10th prox, net 60. Finally! practically all com anies quoted 2 per-
cent 10th prox, net EOM. For ">ork sheet see Appendix B, Part 2.
Packing
Packing of vrrious size wires was fairly uniform as indicated
from the standard packaging schedule, Apoendix ?, Part 2. "here a.
company permitted a customer to require packing different from
standard, i.e., spools instead of coils, there was usually a charge of
twenty cents per thousand feet in 500 foot spools and forty cents per
thousand in 250 foot spools. 'iVhere the quantity warranted "buying in
factory lengths, (usually about 3000 feet) put up on reels, reductions
per thousand feet were made depending on standard package size for the
wire involved. There were some differences in these charges originally,
"but finally all conrnanies quoted similarly.
?. Chronological Record of Filings "by Companies (Appendix A, Part 2)
Number of Filings
The number of filings per company varied from ten to forty-five.
Except for Magnet Wire, more filings per company ^ere made in the
Flexible Cord group than in others.
Waiting; Period
The majority of filings were made to meet competition and therefore
had a short waiting period. Even initiatory revisions were frequently re-
garded as meeting competition and were not held to the ten day period.
Leadership
Companies Nos. 8 and 25 were very definitely the leaders, although
other conroanies would occasionally initiate changes. Changes were adopted
by practically all companies, some immediately and some not for a month or
two in a fev cases. As a result, on a given date most companies had in
effect much the s^me prices, discounts, and, in general, the same cus-
tomer classifications, 7ith regard to the customer classifications a num"
ber were similar, although varying terminology was used. It is alleged
that other members of the Industry were really selling at prices below
those which they had on file. These t^o conroanies presumably revised their
filings to meet these requirements, and consequently although they ap-
peared to be making a price change they were, in fact, meeting competition.
C. Summary
The following may be said "Tith regard to the open price filing ,-Tx-
perience of the flexible cord group:
1. Relative uniformity of price and amount of discount.
9822
-42-
2. Frequency of price change resulting in many filings.
3. Rapid fluctuations in list prices and discounts.
4. Reduction generally in list prices and net nrices.
5. Frequent and extensive changes in customer classifi-
cations. (Data not available for comparison with nre-code
price changes. )
6. More uniform terms of payment and packaging.
7. Initiating revisions made in the majority of cases by two
companies.

C_K AFTER 4. UAGKET WIRE GROUP
A. The Industry.
1. Frcduct.
D esq r ip t i o_n
Magnet wires consist of a copper core insulated with various
materials depending en the pro-oosed use.
Co_nstructi_(.'n. Materials.
Materials include cop-oer, cotton, enamel silk, varnish,, lacquer,
paper and cellophane.
Process.
A machine process consisting of drawing the wire, insulating and
spooling.
Yar i_a t i ons.
Magnet wire is made in three shapes, round, square and rectangular.
Sizes of wire follow the American Wire tables and most companies make a
fairly complete line".
Some standard insulations are:
Single ccttcn covered Single cotton covered enamel
Double cotton covered , Single silk covered
Plain enamel Double silk covered
Double plain enamel Single silk covered enamel
In addition to the standard magnet wire three of the companies manufac-
ture asbestos insulated magnet wires.
Most of the companies manufacture "Litzendraht" commonly known as "Litz"
which is a type used for high freouency. Other special construction magnet
wires include the following:
Twin conductor wire , Magnet wire tinned
Single cotton Quadruple cotton covered
Double enamel Varnished or lacquered
Double silk enamel Combination of cotton and silk
Triple silk enamel "Barber pole" textile covered
Due to technical requirements, all wire of a given type must be the
same.

five or six "being in the class of small companies.
Oth or .P i; o ducts .
:m.-rr : — . . . - ■ .-
Fractically all companies of the industry produce other forms cf wire
and cable and some operate generally in the Electrical Industry.
Location.
Plants are lucated in the Eastern industrial area.
3. Market.
Use. Magnet wire is used in the fabrication of coils, magnets,
and similar electrical devices, manufactured 'by other members of the
electrical industry.
■ Jiatji but ion.
The product is distributed direct to the consumer, usually a manufac-
turer. Most companies maintain warehouses at points other than the factory.
Location.
The largest market is in the industrial East.
Freight . ■
Freight is a considerable item to manufacturers due to the physical
characteristics of the product.
4. Problems.
The fact that relatively little is added by manufacture and that the
operating margin is narrow results in a very fine degree of sensitivity to
price change and no individual company can be permitted by its competitors
to maintain a material- advantage. -Thus it is most important to this group
that they be constantly possessed of accurate information as to the state of
the market and the activities of their competitors.
5. Open Price Filing.
The original price call (Exhibit A) of the magnet wire group was
issued September fi, 1933, effective September 17, 1933, and was based on the
first paragraph of Article X. of the code of fair competition for the
Electrical Manufacturing industry.
Work Sheets..
Work sheets were made showing the original and final ^pricc filings for
all twenty-one companies, (Appendix B., Part III.). Because of the slightly
different structure a separate work sheet was made covering_asbestos insulated
magnet wire for the three companies in the group manufacturing this product,
9822
-47-
(Appendix B. , Part III.B) . This structure will be discussed separately.
In recording the "Chronological Record af Price Filings by Companies,
(Appendix A., Part III.) it was found that it would be sufficient to use the
filings of three manufacturers whose records were deemed representative of
the method of doing business and the experience under open price filing of
the industry. A marked similarity existed between the filings of all
companies, many being exact duplicates, except for minor details. Further-
more, the large number of filings per company would have made a very
voluminous record.
Because of the numerous tyr>es of product and adaptation and the
difficulty of computing prices, a special study (Appendix B., Part III. A)
was made to illustrate a few representative price differentials for various
types of wire.
B. Basic Structure.
1. Original Structure.
Price.
The pricing system in the magnet wire group was to use the base price
of copper plus extras in cents per pound for various sizes, shapes and types
of wire. To this were added spooling charges and freight. Published freight
rates issued by the ^awkins Publishing Company was used by all members of
the industry.
The base price in all cases was the same, being the copper price, and
the following instructions were given by each company:
"1. Magnet wire base price to be used shall be that reported in the
latest issue of the 'Daily Metal Trade' preceding the day quotation
is made. The base price is found under the heading 'Copper Wire
Products' ".
"2. When the magnet wire base price decreases, all quotations will be
decreased upon receipt of telegram from 'Daily Metal Trade' stating
the new price or when the new base price is published in the 'Daily
Metal Trade' ".
13, Wnen the magnet wire base price increases, the quotations will be
allowed to remain effective until five P.M. the day change in the
published base price has been published in the 'Daily Metal Trade'."
"No orders using the base price in effect prior to the increase will be
accepted after five P.M."
Extras and spooling charges arc somewhat voluminous and complex. Briefly,
various extras are added to the base price according to the size and shape
of wire, type of insulation, amount of insulation, set-up charge, etc.
Deductions and adders from the resulting price may be made on the basis of
quantity. After all these computations are made, still further deductions
and adders are possible for certain types of wire, (See Appendix B. , part III.A,
9822
-48-
The filings of Company "ITof 1 were found to follow the general pattern.
These filings were therefore set 'up and filings of the r emalning companies
compared thereto. (Appendix B., Part III.)
Extras Over Base Price
Six items appear under the standard filing representing various
construction extras which are added to the "base price (copper).
Comparing the original filings of each of the twenty remaining companies,
with Company No. 1., it appears that all are practically the same. However,
under "base price v>er pound will he noticed that Companies No. 4 and 7 quote
13.875 while the balance quote 13.75. This difference is offset in the
factor of freight allowance. Host companies quote from the same group of
basing points. Those using the ha.se price of 13.75, note that when certain
mid-western basing points are used, the base price is increased to 13.875.
Those using the base price of 13.875 note that when the eastern basing points
are used, the base price shall be reduced to 13.75. Thus in fact, the base
price is the same for all companies.
Quantity - Extras and Seductions
Four items, three quoting extras covering adder for broken packages
(less than 200 lbs.), set up charge for less than one reel rectangular
wire and per lb. adders for oxygen free high conductivity magnrt wire, which
is a specially treated and refined product, and one, a reduction of -k cent
per pound -oh orders 30,000 lbs. or over, are contained under standard filing
under this heading. Three of these four items are quoted by all but four
companies. The oxygen adders are quoted by only eight coirroanies.
Terms of Delivery
Six items under delivery were generally standard and the delivery terms
of each company, with slight exception, included these six. Briefly, ■ the
shipping terms were f.o.b. factory orders of less than one hundred- pounds,
Orders of one hundred pounds and over were f.o.b. basing point.
Terms of Payment
Terms of payment were generally net thirty days from date of invoice;
one-half of one percent discount ten days from date of invoice; interest
added at the rate of six percent per annum after thirty days.
Wire Prices Extra Over Base " , , • . -
Extras over base for four types and sizes of wires are indicated for
. the purpose of comparison later in the study. These extras are the same for
all companies filing them. (Appendix B. Part III.)
2. Final Structure
The filing of Company :.!o. 1 may still be considered as picturing the
pattern so that by comparing the original and final filings of Company No. 1
chaaiges may be determined.
9822
-49-
Extras. Oyer Base
The base price has increased to 15.25 cents, an increase of one and
one-half cents per pound. Comparison shows that there has been no change in
the six items originally filed under this heading.
Quantity - Extras and eductions
Number of items generally quoted under this heading has increased from
four to nine.
°riginally, the only quantity deduction was one-half cent per pound on
orders of 30,000 pounds or over. Finally, orders of 30, COO pounds or more
shipped c.l. received a deduction of one-half cent per pound from the base
price, less 5^ discount from the total price per pound. Orders of 30,000
pounds or more in l.c.l. received a deduction of one-quarter cent per pound
from the base price less five percent discount from the total price per
pound. Lots of 15,000 pounds or more which previously received no deduction
for quantity are now subject to deduction of one-quarter cent per pound from
the base price. Lots of less than 15,000 pounds still carry the base price.
In the final filings recognition is given to the fact that wires of
size 25 and finer are not normally ordered in lots of 15,000 pounds or more
because of the large lineal footage involved, therefore, these wires aarry
a five percent deduction from the total price on orders of 5,000 pounds or
more.
The set up charge on rectangular wire in the final structure is the
same as in the original except that a reel of two hundred pounds as specified
rather than 225 pounds.
In the final- structure charges for special spooling were established
increasing in amount as the weight - cr spool decreased. The other extras
and reductions were unchanged.
The' net result of these changes was first, to reduce the quantities on
which premiums were given and to increase the premiums given on quantities
originally specified; second, to permit lineal foot orders of small size
wire of more than 5,000 pounds to receive a discount; third, new adders for
spooled magnet wire were established, increasing as the size of the spool
decreased. Practically all companies conform to the standard filing.
Terms of Delivery
In the final structure, terms of delivery have been simplified so that
all prices include delivery to destination except orders of less than one
hundred pounds which are 3T.0.B. point of shipment. This change was generally
followed by all companies except company No. 10, which company used a modified
basing point system.
Terms of rayment
In the final structure, the discount for cash is in amount the same as
in the original structure but the time element has been changed so as to cause
the discount period to relate to fixed settlement days, instead nf being fixed
9822
-50-
at ten days. The net date thus provides for approximately twenty-five to
forty days instead of thirty from date of invoice, ^hese changes terms
of payment were general throughout the industry.
C. Chronological rtecord of Price Filings (Appendix A. Part III.
In examining the records of price filing for the magnet wire group,
it was noted the filings were very numerous but quite uniform. By com-
piling a detailed chronological record of the filings made "by three
companies, an adequate representation v/as secureu..
general.
During the period of price filing, two changes in "base price- occurred
amounting in all to an increase of one and one-half cents per pound.
Considering the entire number of filings about eighty percent dealt with
extras and deductions, ton percent with delivery, five percent with, terms
of payment and the balance miscellaneous matters, such as pricing instruc-
tion, construction information and changes in base price.
Sffi^-PJE. of Filings^.
Probably more filings per company were made in the magnet wire group
than in any other, -the average being about fifty to fifty-five filings
per company, with a maximum of "30.
Form and Content.
In the original filings some incomplete and vague filings occurred
but these were corrected almost immediately and from then on filings were
quite clear and complete in all material particulars.
Wai_ti_n^ Period.
About sixteen percent of the filings had short waiting periods of
which one- third were to meet competition and the balance, general in
nature, covering such matters' as construction detail, new items, and
changes in the base price of copper*
Le_ader_sh_ip_ '
ITo one company was outstandin- in ititiating revisions, practically
every company originated one or more changes.
general
Considering the entire number ,of filings about eighty percent dealt
with extras and deductions, ton percent with delivery, five percent with
terms of payment and the balance miscellaneous matters, such as pricing
instruct! on, construction information and changes in base 'orice.
In the point of time the pattern of doing business as shown by the
final structure did net appear at once but came about through a series of
general industry movements. For instance, by November of 1933, there was
• 9822
-51-
a definite trend toward the form of the final t erms of delivery, "but terms
of payment and extras and reductions for quantity do not appear in their
final form until may of 1D35,
In the chronological record it will he found that many charges for
special individual constructions occurred affecting only one or two of
the many types of magnet wire. Appendix B, Part 3Q, indicates the various
differentials and adders to be used in connection with various wires.
Since changes in these differentials and new types of constructions were
constantly occurring, it is rather difficult to say whether the general
price level was higher or lower at the -close of the price filing period.
Considering the basic elements in the price structure, the base copper
price advanced, the various constructisn extras despite their numerous
revisions so offset each other that they did not bring about appreciable
net change, and the quantity discounts which were increased were a factor
tending towards reduction in net price. It is impossible even .to estimate
the effect of the delivery terms
D. Asbestos Magnet Wire - .Original Filing Appendix B. Part 3jb .
As was staged previously, the three companies manufacturing asbestos
magnet wire, operated in a somewhat different manner with respect to such
wire. The skeleton price structure is the same as that used for other
magnet wires, but with different "extras over base price" and "extras and
reductions for quantity.". Terms of delivery differ from those originally
in use for other types of wire but terms of payment are exactly the same.
The method of doing business_ includes -one feature which does not
appear in connection with other types of magnet wire, which is that
discounts are given to certain types of customers.
Extras over Base Prices.
The items under this head are much the same for all types of magnet
wire.
Quantity - Extras and ^eductions
Originally two items appear under this heading. The first gives
adders for less than full reels, round and square wire graduating according
to size of wire and Weight of order, and the second gives adders for less
than full reels of rectangular wire.
Terms of Delivery
■'■erms of delivery originally were f.e.b. factory on less than one
hundred pounds. Delivered prices one hundred pounds and over appeared
east of the Mississippi, including the city of St. Louis, Missouri; west
of the Mississippi the terms were f.o.b. factory with freight allowed
ninety cents per hundred pounds.
Terms of Payment'
Terms followed exactly those used for other types of magnet wire.
3822
-52-
Wire prices - Extras Over Base
On the work sheet showing original and final price structure for
asbestos insulated wire, three samples are given illustrating some extras
over "base.
Discounts
Two of the three companies quoted a ten percent discount to manufac-
turers, except coil manufacturers, who received five percent discount as
did motor repair shops and electrical jobbers. Prices to all other
customers were at list.
In addition to the above, one company quoted for ap-oointed distributors
a discount of ten and five percent on sales to purchasers including
manufacturers using magnet -wire in their products for resale, motor repair
shops, coil manufacturers and electrical jobbers, and a discount of ten
pprcent on their sales to all other buyers.
£inal_ JT i 1 ing s
Considering the last filings -on asbestos insulated magnet wire, six
changes have occurred.
(1) The base price increased from ,;13.75 to $15.00. This final
base price is not the same as that for other magnet wire for the reason
that the last filing on asbestos insulated wires occurred prior to the
increase in the base price of copper from $15.00 to $15.25.
(2) Und.er "extras and reductions for Quantity11 in addition to the
adders for less than full reels a deduction is now given of three-fourths
nf a cent per pound from the base price for 30,000 pounds or more CLL. and
a ''deduction of one-half cent per pound for 30,000 pounds or more LCL.
(3) Terms cf delivery are now identical with those for other magnet
wires and all prices are based on del ivery to destination,
(4) Terms of payment continue to follow those in effect for other
magnet wires and reflect the changes which occurred.
(5) Wire prices - "extras over base" - as illustrated by the three
specimen wires appear to have been reduced.
(fi) The system of discounting has been materially changed and is
now on a. ouantity basis for all purchasers. However, wholesalers with
sales agreements are given a discount in excess of that offered other
types of purchasers for similar ouantities. In extent the rates of
discount have been increased.
Summation
The net result nf these changes was!
(l) to continue the penalty on small orders*
9822
-DO-
(2) to offer increased premiums for quantity, resulting in a
wider price ran c with lower prices available.
E . Summary
Changes occurring during open price filing, tut not necessarily
resulting therefrom, may for the magnet wire group be briefly stated:
(1) The avera e rice was probably lower in spite of an increase
in the base price of copper, the lowering being due to increased premiums for
quan t i t y pur cha s e r s .
(2) Shifting of delivery terms from basing point to delivered
■orice.
(o) Increased uniformity of structure.
The magnet wire group is an interesting cxanrole because in spite of
numerous products and adaptations, the group moved smoothly and without the
usual confusion which attended the price filing experience of other groups
manufacturiiic involved lines. Possible the standardization of the product
and the narroY/ mar in between cost of materials and final price and the
absence of competing channels of distribution explain to some degree the
sensitivity cf the group to price variation.
^ecause of the fact that so many variables of construction cost,
pnantity discounts, adders and extras affect the price, the group illustrates
the difficulty of measuring change in price level.
In the ca.se of asbestos insulated magnet wire their is indicated
possibilities in connection with limiting the scope of a price call to a
smaller area than that covered by the experiment.
There also occurs in this group a tendency toward further uniformity.

A The Industry
The Fractional Horsepower Motor Industry as it exists today is the
result of a situation which has cone about in the past 10 years. Start-
ins about 1925 the use of Fractional Horsepower Motors increased tremend-
sly by reason of the increased sales of the electrically operated house-
hold refrigerator, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, anc" motorized kitchen
appliance, not to mention the individual motorization of plant machinery,
the use of electrically driven portable tools and the home work shop.
These conditions made it possible for the industry to go into production
on a volume basis and after equipping itself to handle volume business it
had to have volume in order to protect its investment and to live. At
the same time many of the purchasers were developing on such a volume
basic that individual contracts assumed tremendous importance.
At the beginning of the price filing era motor sales were at a marked
low due to general business conditions. Thereafter the volume increased
quite rapidly, due largely to the tremendous jump in sales of household
refrigerators.
Members of the Industry
The original Price Call was directed to 47 companies. For the purpose
of this study, 4 of the 47 companies have been disregarded because they
made non-comparable motors, motors on special order only, or very limited
lines. However, the peculiarities of such companies are covered in con-
nection with companies included in the study. .
Standard-lion Standard
For purposes of generality the industry can be divided into two
sections from the standpoint of --rice structure; standard and non-
standard. There is, however, no distinct dividing line, divergence from
the standard being in degree rather than in.toto. Since the non-standard
companies must be commented upon individually in relation to the standard
it is necessary to proceed first with consideration of the standard group.
The usual pattern of price structure in the group is based upon
list prices for motors with discounts for carefully defined customer classes,
quantities and on specific motors. Within certain of the customer classes,
a "multiplier" system is used to provide special treatment for individual
comoanies. Terms of sale and delivery are also included.
1. Price Call - Exhibit A
The original Trice Call was issued under date of January 5, 1954,
effective January 29 , 1934, and based on the first paragraph of Article X
Code of Fair Competition for the Electrical Manufacturing Industry. There
was specified in some detail the products to be covered and the information
22
-57-
t'o be filed in connection therewith. There was also issued an amended Price
Call exempting sales to purchasers buying annually motors valued at 3100,000
or more.

Standard Structure -
After the original filing two major changes were made by standard
companies. The first increased customer quantity discounts to resale
machinery manufacturer's and made a general list price revision slightly up-
ward, but. with some decreases on specific motors. This occurred about March
19, 1934. The second major change was generally effective November 5, 1934,
and increased customer classification discounts so as to redn.ee the differen-
tial between Class G- and other customers.
.B. Basic Structure
1 • Structure - Original Filing
List Price; Standard and Hon-Standard
In order to set up a bench marl: to serve as a means of comparing list
prices and the effects thereon of the discount structure, the list prices
of three popular types ,f motors were arranged under Columns 1, 2, and 3,
Appendix B - Part 4. In scanning these list "prices it will be noted that
motors V3lued at §,32.50, $32.00 and $37.0' are quoted by practically every
company adhering materially to the standard price structure. To continue
the original scheme of dividing the group into standard or non-standard
companies, we shall, so far as list price is concerned, consider the above
mentioned list prices as representing standard and all others as non-standard.
In some cases, exactly comparable motors were not available in the price
lists of certain companies, and therefore, the motors most closely resembling
the specimens v.rere taken.
So as to become familiar with the method of doing business in this
group it appears necessary to examine the structure under the original filing,
The purchaser or customer classification situation is defined in detail under
Note 2, Ap] endix A, Part 4. This classification was subscribed to by all
of the standard, companies and "as used in part by non-standard companies.
Customer Classe~ and Discounts
The purchaser classification entitled "Class A Users" were required
to pay list prices. "Forty companies quoted to this classification, all but
6 of which quoted list price. Of the companies not following, Company #1
quoted only 3 types of motors and offered a 10$ discount to Class A Users
on a price list comparable to the standard. Company ;''-ll quoted users "net
to 2r'p." Company #22 set up a discount schedule (See Appendix A Par, T4 -
9822
• -53-
llotc B. 3) which differed materially from the standard.. Company #24 "based
discou.t on a value of order "basis. Company #26 quoted 20$ to all classes
for unit shipment of less than 10 motors. Company #31 quoted Class A Users
"list to 15$".
For Class B Users it v.dll ho note'"- that practically the same general
situation prevails e;:cept that Conroany #40 "which quoted Class A Users does
not quote Class B.
Class C purchasers (central stations, etc) under the standard structure
received a classification discount of 16;' from 25 companies. Seven comoanies
quoted other discounts. As to the 3 classes, Company #1 has "been consistently
different from the standard as have Companies #26 and #31. Companies #11 and
#22 who have differed from standard do not quote Class C. In addition Com-
panies 3 and 28 who have "been consistently standard now differ. This is typ-
ical throughout the entire filing, not ony of the specific companies men-
tioned but generally. In fact a total of 21 companies out of the 43 at some
time or other in greater or less degree do diverge from the standard. Other
divergences will he noted in that a company does not quote to a customer
classification which is considered a part of the standard structure.
For Class D (resale motor dealers havin, agreements) a situation
similcr to th t of Clashes A, B and C prevails. However, with respect to
the discount grouping, indicated hy the symbol DQ,, which deals with quantity
discount to Class D purchasers only, based upon aggregate net value of orders
placed annually, -31 companies quote the DQ, classification and all quote on
the standard "basis.
In Classes E, F and G- there is marked similarity to the situation
pointed out in Classes A, 3, C and D. For the discount grouping GQ which
covers discount to Class G- purchasers "based on dollar volume of order and
shipping requirements, 23 companies quoted, all hut 2 of which quoted the
standard. Company #1 which has thus far "be- n consistently different quotes
on the basis of an annual quantity discount to all purchasers. Comaany
#11 quotes only on orders of $10,000 or more.
About the same degree of conformity appears in the other and less
important classiiicat 'cations such as Classes H, I and M,
Operatic n of Standard Structure
The analysis of the original structure mill be divided into two parts.
First the competitive positions of the various customer classifications under
the standard structure and second the competitive positions of manufacturers
and purchasers on the b?sis of deviations from the standard.
Customer Class A may be disposed of by saying that.it is the last
favored of the customer classifications under the standard structure.
Clashes B, C and G- though having classification discounts of 10$, 16-5
and 20$ respectively have within the confines of each, competitive levels
because specifically named companies ire given what are lenown as multipliers.
These always offer discounts larger than the standard classification discount.
Taking the B Classific tion for instance more than 60 speciiic companies,
9823
-59-
naraed in the filings are quoted multipliers providing discounts ranging
from 11$ to 22$. Thus purchasers quoted the straight Class B Classi-
fication discount of 10$ are definitely handicapped.
Customer classification C having a general classification discount
of 16$ has the same situation with multipliers resulting in discounts
ranging from 17$ to 22$, "but applying to less than 20 companies.
Thus although the standard customer classification discounts for
Classes B and C give a larger discount to Class C the use of the multi-
plier system creates an overlap between Classes B and C in that Class B
multiplier ciscounts range from 11$ to 23$ and Class C ranee from 17$ to
_>. There are other special discounts but these apply equally to "both
Classes B and C and therefore competitive positions remain unchanged.
Customer Classification G, manufacturers using motors in their product,
which carries a standard classification discount, of 20$, also utilizes
a multiplier system. This system, which is similar in form to that used
in connection with Customer Classificrtions B and C, applies to about two
hundred specifically named companies and offers discounts from 21$ to 25^.
Thus, Class G overlaps slightly with Classes E and C.
Class G customers also have available a discount based on dollar
vnlue of orders and shipping requirements which ranges from 7$ on an order
.of $1500.00 having a shipping requirement of 90 day delivery, unit shipment
of 10 or more motors, to a discount of 18$ on an order of $10,000.00 or more,
shipping requirement of unit shipment of $10,000 or more.
Examining Class G Further, it is found that additional discounts
are given on specific ratings of fractional horse power motors. However,
this added discount is available to about only one-third of the listed
Class G purchasers. These few customers in addition to the multiplier
and other discounts, receive on the purchase of specific motors, an
additional discount ranging from 3$ to 14f/0.
Customer Class D, has a standard customer classification discount of
174 and an additional discount based on aggregate net value of orders
placed annually. This added discount ranges from 1-|$ on $2500.0 to 7$
on $200,000.00 or more.
Comparing Classes B, C, D and G, Class B discunts range from 10$
to 22$; Classic range from 16$ to 22$; Class D range from 17$ to 21.41$;
Class G range from 20$ to 47.11$.
In connection with the higher ranges of discounts in the four customer
classes set out above, certain facts must be noticed and kept constantly in
mind in order intelligently to comprehend the availability of these dis-
counts. A specific illustration of the need of such warning is given here
in connection with Class G customers. ]?ir;.t, in order for a Class G cus-
;r to receive the highest total discount 347.il(o), he must first be
assigned the largest Class G multiplier . (.75) , (a disco-Lint of 25$). In
the average filing, only about twelve companies receive this multiplier.
Second, the Class G purchaser must have available the largest possible
additional disco-ant on -ourchases of specific ratings of fractional horse
9822
-60-
power motors. Companies receiving the highest possible discount on this
"basis are seven in number. Only four of the seven however, receive a
multiplier of .75 and one of the four is an affiliate of a large manufacture!
of fractional horse power motors and would, therefore, not "bull; large in
outside purchases. Third, even they can obtain the discount only for
shipments in quantities valued at $10,000.0 • or more.
Customer Class H, covering authorized machinery dealers who are
resale outlets for machinery manufacturers (Class G) , receive a dis-
count equivalent to Class C.
Customer Class I coveres discounts to educational institutions where
motors are used for purposes of instruction.
Class M, Jobbers and Wholesalers, is not a pupular channel of distri-
bution and carries no standard discount. Only nine companies quote.
Terns of Delivery and. Payment
-—--■■ - u ' — * — ■
In the area of delivery, practically all companies quoted F.O.B.
factory, freight allowed to destination, and the usual terms net 30 days.
2 . Conroarison: Standard and non-Standard Structure
Company Ho. 1 which does not conform to standard is relatively small
and in its original filing covered only three types of motors. To Customer
Class A, a discount of 10$ is offered except on one type motor. To Customer
Classes B , C, E and G, a discount of 20$ and 10$ is quoted except on one
type motor where the discount is 20$. No multiplier list was used except
to four purchasers, but all purchasers had available annual quantity
discounts ranging from 2$ on $1,000.00 to 10$ on -125,000.00 or more..
Company No. 3 diverges from standar; to Class C purchasers and
offers them a discount of 19$ rather tloan a standard 16$ and docs not
quote a discount to Clss G purchasers based either on dollar value of
order and shipping requirement, or purchases of specific motors.
Company No. 4 quotes only Classes D, E, G_and M. Discounts to
Classes D and E are higher than the standard discounts and to customers
in Class G are available discounts ranging from 25$ on lots of one motor
to 50$ if the customer is carrier' on a monthly schedule.
To cor.tinue the summation of the individual differences appears un-
necessary and a short statement would seem to apply the necessary infor-
mation. This could be in two parts, first that differences from the
standard usually offer greater discounts than the standard except that
in the case of Customer Classes 3, C and G, extra discounts such as are
offered by multipliers, purchasers of specific motors, annual purchases
andunit orders purchases are usually lacking. Second, the effect of this
is that the non-standard companies offer greater discounts to those Customer
Classes least favored by the standarc companies.
9822
-61-
There are, hovever, exceptions to this, for instance, Company "Jo.
2 . which of~ ers Customer Class G purchasers buying less than fifty thous-
and dollars of motors per year, discounts totaling 55.3$ and those over
fifty thou- ollars discounts totaling 56. J .
Among the signific nt matters are special forms of quantity discount
for one cl r LOther s imetimes tricing the form of discounts for number
of motor? in the order and at others based on total annual dollar purchases.
3 . Structure - Final Filing
In the final structure as compared with the original, the functional
Customer Class discounts were increased. The definitions of the various
Customer Classes were slightly revised, but no material change was made.
Class A is quoted on a sliding scale from list on orders less than
$500.00 to 16$ off on orders of $5,000.00 or more. Six companies who
quoted list to Class A in the original filing continue to do so.
Since Class 3, C and G are those to which most attention is paid
in the filings and since they are in some respects related, consideration
will be given them as a group. 'These classes continue to have available
the multiplier system which has been revised as tc rate and application
to specific companies, but not generally, "he general Class B standard
-count has been raise: from 1 • to 16' . Classes C pad G remained the
same as to general classification discounts.
In Class G occurred the most material change. It will be recalled
that Class C- had available th« a> t favorable multipliers. Class G
purchasers, whose purchases from a single company average $2,000.00 or
more annually through 1931-34, are now quoted a discount of 35$ by seven
companies. Furthermore Class G purchasers on- the basis of dollar value
of order aad shipping requirements have available discounts ranging from
20$ on a $1,000,00 order, unit shipment $150,00 and completed order in
98 days, to 4.^- on $16,000.00 order with the same shipping requirements.
Discounts are also quoted Class G purchasers on specific motors. Notice
that a Class G porclia.se r can not receive on one order both discount based
on dollar value of order and shipping requirements, and the 25$ discount
on a $2,C ■,. 0 average over the 4 stated years.
Operation of Final Structure
The- result of these changes to 'Class G customers has been to make
available a discount of 53.6$ in the basis of multiplier and dollar value
of order and shipping requirements. In addition, there is the additional
discount to some Class G buyers on specific motors.
Under' the original filin- , the maximum discount available on the
basis of dollar value of order and shipping requirements was 18$. Finally
the maximum discount available based on dollar value of order and shipping
requirement was 42$. To reduce this to actual illustration, let us take
t 537. OC list. Under the original filing, the Class G
purchaser ~ in units valued at §10, 'J00.00 or more, shipped as
a unit to : seive the maximum discount on dollar value of order and
shi ing requirements. This would require a purchase of about 275 motors
-62-
at 337.0 3 each.
Under the final structure, purchasing motors valued at $16,0'")0.00
in 'ne order, completing the on er in 90 days in unit shipments of not
less than $150.00, would require about 435' motors at $37.00 each, the
purchaser receiving a discount of 42^. Thus, by the use of an additional
$6,000.00 for 90 days, the Class G purchaser, under the final structure,
had available a discount much greater than the discount available under
the original structure for a purchase valued at $10,000.00 or more,
unit shipment.
Thus, as between the original and the final structure, the final
structure offers a much higher premium for volume especially to Class G
Customers, than did the original structure.
List Price
In the matter of list prices, changes were spotty, some motors being
increased and others decreased. Many popular motors were unchanged. For
the specimen motors used on the work sheets the changes are predominately
upward but seldom more than 10$.
Uiiformity Under Final 5 true ture
As to uniformity under the final structure, the situation is much
the same as was seen under the original. Most of the same companies con-
tinue to diverge, plus a few additional companies who have maintained
parts of the original standard structure and added to this parts of the
final structure.
Maximum Discount - Custome r Clas s G
Considering now the total possible discounts to Class G purchasers
under the original and final standard structures, we see that the original
structure offered the Class G customers a maximum discount of 33.5$, not
including special discount quoted certain Class G customers on purchases
of motors of specific ratings. In the final structure, excluding the same
special discount, the total maximum discount possible was 56.5$. The
special discount excluded in both cases is the same, and therefore, does
not change the picture from the standpoint of comparison.
Comparing the requirements to be fulfilled, in the original and
final structures in order to receive these discounts. In both cases, the
purchaser must be of the Class G group and must receive the largest
multiplier. Under the original structure, in order to receive the highest
discount based zn dollar value of order and shipping requirement, the Class
G purchaser had to order in lots valued at $10,000.00 or more, unit ship-
ment amounting to $10,000.00 or more. Under the final structure, he had
to order in lots valued at $16,000.00 or more, unit shipment $150 and com-
plete order in 90 days. Thus, it appears reasonable to say that the final
structure greatly increased quantity premiums.
C . Chronology of Change
1. Ma.jjr Change Effective Apout March 19, 1934.
9822
-63-
Considera"ble comnent has already been made ra the original filing
and the structure therein set up. In the first major development,
generally effective March 19, 1934, the discount to Cliss G purchasers
based Dn quantity and shipping requirements was materially revised up-
■< . This filing was originated by Company No. 15 and was not within
the ten day waiting period by fourteen companies. Subsequentl'-'- it was
met either in whole or in part by twelve additional companies. In
addition, all other companies in the group revised their structure in
some way or other, as a result of its effect.
2. Major Change Effective November 5 to November 15, 1934.
The maj >r development was also initiated by Company No. 15. The
change made was with respect to definition of customer classifications
and discounts thereto and is, as explained in detail in Notes 5 and 6,
Appendix A, Fart 4. Nine companies met the filing within the ten day
waiting period and sixteen companies met it in whole or in part thereafter.
This filing also caused changes to follow and it will be noted that
finally practically all companies have made commensurate revision,
3 • Intermediate Filings,
Intermediate filings were, for the most part, administrative. That
is to say that the filings give directions how to calculate prices, supply
information concerning types of motors, add new motors and accessories,
change individual motor prices and serve to bring the filings to date.
The vast majority of them had a tan day waiting period. It was quite
exceptional to find an initiating revision which had been met within the
ten day waiting period, and even when found, the content generally related
to a fact or condition pertinent to a few comnanies only. For example,
Company No. 10 changed one multiplier, effective August 30; this was met
by Company No. S within the ten day waiting period, but apparently the
change was not of importance to any one else.. This might mean a number
of things; for instance that the company whose multiplier had been changed
was the exclusive customer of Companies Nos. 8 and 10, or it might mean
that other companies were already quoting a similar multiplier.
Number of Filings
Considering the number of filings made and the rate of change, filings
averaged from five to fifteen per company and a noticeable gap occurs in
many instances between January and April of 1934. By and large, the smaller
companies made very few filings, sometimes only two and nearly a year
apart. Usually in the case of the large companies, after the original
flurry there were few filings until the Spring of 1934 when there was
considerable activity. After another period of activity in the Fall of
1934 there rcas a decided drop In the .number of filings.
This can oe accounted for in some measure by the fact that nego-
tiations were pending between the Supervisory Agency and the National
Recovery Administration toward a decision as to whether or not annual
purchasers of $.00,000.00 or more could be eliminated from the scope of
the price call. The Industry was alleged to be seriously concerned about
the matter, it being their feeling that the inclusion of this type of
9322
-64-
pur chaser had a very detrimental effect on the price situation. The
outcome of the negotiations was the withdrawal of an amended price call
which the Supervisory Agency load issued exempting purchasers as described
and the cancellation of the entire price call hy the Supervisory Agency.
D. Summary
The major changes in this group were: first, increased premiums
for volume; this reflected reductions in price to all customer groups;
second, little or no list price change in comparison with the extent of
discount revisions.
The waiting period was xised in the vast majority of filings. With
the exception of the major changes of March and November, 1934, few
coincidental revisions were made. Thus, although a complicated structure
existed, it apparently made little or no difference whether an initiator
was penalized by a waiting period except on major changes.
The stated purpose of applying open price filing in this group was
to "do something about quantity discounts". The result of the experiment
as to this purpose was obviously not successful and in fact,' the cancel-
lation of the price call prior to the Schechter Decision was brought
about directly by the further increase of quantity discounts.

CHAPTER 6
ELECTRIC EAIIS
A. The Industry
1« Description
Electric fans known in the industry as "IPdxi motors" are
triefly described as electrical devices used for circulating air.
A fan usually consists of an electric motor upon the shaft of which
is located an arrangement of varies which when rotated by the motor
induces the movement of air. There are few fixed limitations on
f an design, the primary object "being to secure the greatest cir-
culation of air with the least consumption of current.
Materials
Many materials are used in the construction of electric
fans the principal items being steel sheet and wire, brass, iron
castings, die castings, copper, insulating and metal finishing mat-
erials and molded plastics.
Process
The process -varies widely with the type, size a.nd value of
the fan. The small size fan designed to be sold at low cost is very
often n?.de of meta.1 stampings with the possible exception of a cast
iron base. Some small and inexpensive fans .have been placed on the
market which have the base and motor case made of a molded plastic.
Ilotors used in fans vary in quality from those used in the low cost
"price merchandise" fans to the standard merchandise class in which
the motor is designed and engineered to a high efficiency of operation.
In the more expensive fans iron castings and die castings
are used for motor frames and bases although in recent years steel
stampings have replaced iron castings to a considerable extent.
The more expensive fans of the oscillating type require a
gear train for the oscillating motion and the gear case and gears
are usually die cast, but some machine work is also' required.
Practically all of the remaining parts of fans except fan
blades and guards are automatic screw machine products. Fan blades
are usually made of metal, in which case they a.re stamped to shape.
But they are also made of wood and fabric materials, which require
other methods of forming.
Most fans have a safety guard of some kind around the fan
blades usually of steel wire, resistance welded or soldered.
?822
-72-
Manual operations are in the assembly and finishing operations.
The finishing 'Operations var;/- widely and ranee from spray lacquering to
"baked enamel or metal plated finish.
Variations
The electric fans covered by the price call embrace a great
many types and sizes. There are four basic types; desk, bracke., ceil-
ing and ventilating. The usual design of desk fan may be used either
mounted on a bracket on the wall or as a, desk fan since provision is made
in the construction to allow the fan blades to be adjusted vertical to
or parallel with the base. Ceiling fans are made in a great many designs,
types and sizes and are extensively used in commercial application.. The
usual type includes a hanger by which the fan is suspended from the ceil-
ing. The fan motor is usually larger and of a different type than the
desk fan and the fan blades have a diameter of from 2 to 5 feat, usually
being made of wood.
The ventilator fans are limited by the price call to such fans
"which are adaptions of desk fans and which are for use in free air."
Fans installed in kitchens for exhausting smoke and odors from cooking
illustrate this latter type.
Probably the greatest volume of fans are of the desk and
bracket ' typBU .The fan sizes are usually expressed by the diameter of the
blades and four common sizes are the 8" , 10", 12", and 16". The price
of fans varies with the diameter of the blades which in turn relates to
the size and rating of the fan motors. Other variables such as finish,
shape of blades and oscillating feature enter into the price.
During recent years many changes have been ma.de in fan design
some of which have had considerable effect. It was found that by making
radical change in the shape of the fan blades, "flutter" and vibration
induced in the blades could be eliminated reducing the noise of the fan
considerably. This silent fan has become quite popular. Another design
uses loops of a fabric material for fan blades. These blades are held
in place by centrifugal force and will not cause injury if interfered
with while the fan is in operation. Therefore these fans da not require
a guard around the blades.
Since different voltages and frequencies in electric power supply
require fans of differing design a complete line of fans requires listing
a great many items.
Some sompanies do not attempt to furnish fans for all applica-
tions and power supplies but concentrate on the fans in popular demand.
The large electrical companies usually have the most complete line.
9822
-73-
S t andardi zat ion
T7ith respect to superficial appearance there is considerable
standardization t>ut differences occur in quality, construction and
operation so' that while fans may have similar descriptions and motor
ratings they are different as to method and efficiency of operation.
2. Companies
About twenty-five companies filed prices hut only about
one-half of them were active in the fan no tor industry. A number after
mailing one or two filings discontinued upon learning that their product
was not included in the price call.
Companies range in size,: the small ones employing perhaps
250 employees while the large include companies operating generally
in the Electrical manufacturing Industry.
All companies manufacture products in addition to fan motors,
many "being manufacturers of electric motors.
Location
liarke t
Plants are located in the ITorthcentral States.
The use of fans is widespread with the greatest volume con-
centrated in urban areas.
Fans are a very seasonal product and sales are> affected by
climatic conditions. There is a general observation in the industry
that if the month of June is unusually warm sales will be good, but if
June is cool sales will fall below normal.
luring the winter distributions are contacted and sales
programs worked out. Agreements are entered into between manufacturers
and distributors and production schedules are planned based on the
expected total sales.
Since there is an appreciable degree of obsolescence plus
various expenses in carrying inventory, manufacturers attempt to fol-
low the market as closely as possible. Consequently, production is
carried on largely during the winter and spring.
The distributor is the most important channel of distribution
and although quotations oxe made direct to large buyers the distributor
often arranges the sa.le on a commission basis.
Freight
The freight cost is a low percentage of the value of the pro-
duct and, except in the case of very small orders, is usually paid by
the manufacturer.

problems
One of the serious problems facing the industry was the
introduction of the lor; priced far. retailing at little more than $1.00.
Prices on high grade merchandise apparently were not affected, however,
■because the chnap fan developed its own market without considerably
penalizing the high grade merchandise, though it undoubtedly cut into
the sales of what had "been previously its lowest price class. This was
probably due to the: fact that although there was a very wide difference
in price, the comparative . value of the two types was readily apparent and
the purchaser knew that in buying the cheap product he was getting less
satisfactory performance.
The growth of air conditioning has made some inroads on the
fan business and may be am increasing threat.
}• price Call
The price cell was issued December 19, 1933, effective
January 3, 1934, and covered desk, bracket, ceiling and those ventila-
ting fans which were adaptations of desk fans end used in free air.

B.~ Basic Structure
1 . Ori/mial Structure - Amendix B Part 5
Price
Most cru.otations are on the basis of list price but some few manufac-
turers, especially those selling fans in the lower price brackets, quote
on a net basis. In work sheets 3 types of fans wore used to illustrate
list prices, an 8" and a 10" stationary fan and 1 oscillating fan. Of
the 12 companies, 8 had list prices for the three fans, respectively, at
C4.60, 12. 95, and 22.50. Hone of the others had a complete line, and
three appear to have 3" fans of a much cheaper grade.
Customer Classification and Discounts
There are two types of customer: Users; and Resellers. The same
general pattern of customer classification is widely employed in the
industry.
Users are qxiptcd under the following names:
1. Consumers
2. Government
3. Commercial users & hotels
4. Institutions
Resellers are quoted as:
1. Chains
2. Dealers
3. Department stores
4. Distributors
4a. Distributors Consignment.
5. Jobbers
6. Public Utilities
7. Resale Machinery Manufacturers
In the original filing, the highest discounts were to distributors
and jobbers who received 50$. discount on outright purchases and 40-10-3^
on consignment. Practically all other accounts had available a maximum
discount of 35 and 5L,o, but, it was required by some companies that the
order 'be $50.00 or more in value, and by others that 50 fans or more be
purchased to obtain this discount.'
All accounts except chains, distributors, Government and institu-
tions had available a quantity discount based either on value or number
of items of outright purchase. Consumers, Commercial Users and Hotels
are quoted on the basis of the number of items purchased up to 50, and
dealers, department stores, public utilities are quoted discounts on the
basis of more or less than $50.00 value of order. Disccunt for given
quantities may vary for different customers classes, for example, con-
sumers pay list on orders of 1 — 5 fans while industrials are given a
discount of 25,:> on similar orders. Resale machinery manufacturers are
9322
-76-
also quoted on the "basis of more or loss than $50.00, "but in addition
arc givon a discount on 100 fans equal to that given for consignment,
(40-10-6). All the quantity discount schedules are very simple, never
having more than three size groups.
Exceptions to the foregoing occur usually in connection with the
companies selling lov/er price fans and in this price class fewer customer
classifications are quoted.
Freight Tcjrms
Delivery terms arc .faily uniform. Six companies quote f.o.b. des-
tination distributors warehouse city for 100 Its. or ever, and f.o.b.
point cf shipment less than 100 Ids, Points other than distributors
warehouse city are quoted f.o.b, shipping point, except that orders of
not less than 50 fans and shipments to chains, commercials, or industrial
organizations are quoted f.o.h. destination.
Five companies quoted similarly hut emit quoting shipments to iDoints
other than distributors warehouse city. Two companies quote f.o.h.
factory, one f.o.h. destination and one f.o.h. jobbers warehouse point,
lots 300 lbs. or more, lots less than 300 lbs. f.o.b. point of shipment.
Terms of Payment
Terms of payment are generally 2p, 10 days, net 30 days or some
approximation thereof with one company offering thrity-nine da/s extra,
west of the Rockies, and two companies quoting varying terms to differ-
ent customer classification and consignment accounts.
2. Final Structure
Price .'."'■■"..
In the final structure most fans are still quoted on the basis of
list price, among the specimen fans used in the work sheet the 8" fan ■
has generally been reduced from $4.60 to $3.95, while the others remain
at the previous list.
List prices for low price fans. are hard to follow bocuaso fans of
this type are constantly being dropped from the cataloquc to be replaced
by others, but whereas 3 companies had previously quoted below $4.60, the
final filings show 4 quoting below $3.95.
Customer Classification and Discounts
Ho new customer classifications appear in the final structure al-
though manufacturers have shifted somewhat as to the channels tc which
they quote.
9822
-77-
In the User Group, Consumers, Commercial Users and Hotels arc no
longer quoted quantity differentials according to the number of fans
purchased, but arc now given a flat discount about 7^ to 8$ below the
most favorable discount quoted originally. Discounts to Government^
accounts continue on a functional basis but x:o\co increased about 13p
to 18$ while discounts to institutions were for the most part reduced
7^;j to 8;j. In connection with Company ho. 7, the uiscount of oZf/o
quoted to institutions, Government, distributors, dealers and consumers
is on "close out" items only.
In the reseller group, discounts to chains have been generally
reduced about 7^o, except on the lower priced fans where discounts
have been increased. Department stores and public utilities no longer
have quantity differential according to the value of order but are
now quoted a straight discount which varies from 35 and 5,'?, the most
favorable previous discount, to 55 and 5',j on one low priced fan.
Dealers have also been taken from a quantity differential on value
of crder basis and given a straight discount equal to that given public
utilities.
Discounts to distributors, including jobbers and wholesalers, have
been increased by the addition of an added 5)'o discount in connection
with Government orders.
The discount basis for resale machinery manufacturers has been
changed from a combination value of order and number of fans basis to
a basis of more or less than 100 fans.
Freight Terms
Terms of delivery remained about the same except that seven com-
panies now quote Government inquiries f.o.b. destination regardless of
weight.
Terms of Payment
Terms of payment continue generally 2c/o ten days, net 30 days, but
with some now exceptions, such as Companies ilo. 11 and 12, quoting 2$>
ten days, net 60, on shipments to points other than distributors ware-
house city.
3. Ccnroariscn of Original and Final Structure
(1) The general form of the structure remains the same.
(2) Discounts based on quantity and value of order almost
entirely eliminated, except to resale machinery manufacturers.
(3) List prices on hi&her grade standard items have, for
the most part, remained the.sa.mc but lower net prices are applicable
to seme customers, due to having available a straight functional discount
larger for small orders than originally. On the other hand, to these
same customers prices have sometimes been increased on larger orders,
likewise due to the elimination of quantity premiums.
9822
-73-
(4) Some customer groups now have lower prices becau.se cf in-
creased discounts.
(5) Terms of payment and delivery show little change.
(6) The relative competitive position of customer classifica-
tions remains about the same with the exception of Government inquiries,
which are now q_uoted discounts equal to distributors.
(7) The impact of the cheap fan motor is evident in the fpct
that list -orice has been reduced on about 8" fans.
4. Chronological Record of Price Piling (Appendix A Fart 5)
Number of Filings
About an average number of filings were made in this group, averag-
ing from about 15 for large to 1 or 2 for small companies* The maximum
number of filings made by any one company was 25.
Form and Content
Many of the filings were exceedingly poor in form and the contents
vague and difficult to folic-' due to incomplete statements regarding terms
of sale, application of discounts and description of -product. There "as
little or no improvement under experience.
Waiting Period
The waiting -oeriod was seldom used to meet competition. These fil-
ings which had short waiting periods had to do usually with construction
details and similar ma.tters.
General
One factor which makes it troublesome to follow mam.y of the filings,
is that manufacturers are almost constantly changing lines by closing out -
old types and introducing ne^. Another source of difficulty occurs in the
matter of deviation from standard. A standard fan may be changed slightly
or materially and while it still retains its original identification and
type, it may or may not be the same competitively.
This problem constituted one of the major difficulties under price
filing, especially in meeting Government specifications. In such cases,
the specifications might require the elimination of some item of standard
equipment on a given fan, such as the attachment cord. With this as an
excuse, the item was considered by some comoai ies to be "tailor made",
not covered ay price filing, and therefore to be sold at any price, most
of the reductions in ^rice made on this score were qaesti mable on the
ground of the actual saving involved. For exammle, in the case of a
specification eliminating attachment cords, it is not corroletely accurate
to deduct merely the cost of the attachment cord because since the fan
must be tested, the fan must be hooked u->, given a test run and then
disconnected.
9822
-79-
C. Summary
The record of the open price filing experience in the Fan Motor
Group is unusual in one material aspect, and that is that there occurred
a very definite trend away from quantity discounts. It will he noticed
that in most other groups studied, quantity discounts expanded either in
scope or effect.
In the Fan Motor Group, as in others, it will be noted that there
arc competitive units within the group and that sensitivity to change is
in many c-ases confined within such competitive iinits, being particularly
evident among low prico fans.
In connection with the form and content of filings, wo are again
forced to the conclusion that too little attention, perhaps because of
lack of authority, was given to requiring that the filings be complete
and adequate not only as to prices and discounts but also product des-
cription, cancellation of previously filed terms and adequate defining
of customer classification.

EIZCTRIC A:iC :."SLSI.'C- APPARATUS
A. The Industry
1 . Development
The principles of electric arc welding are not particu-
larly new but their application to commercial welding today
is tii? rcsv.lt of progress made in the past ten years. Among
the fields in which arc welding is used are: ship building,
bridge and general construction involving the use of steel
and, of late years, in industries where frames and forms can
be shaped from sheet or standard shades and joined by welding.
This latter use has made material inroads on the work of patt-
] umber of About twenty companies manufacture arc welding appratus.
Companies The product is engineered and to a large extent fabricated by
members of this group, and is susceptible of many modifications
in the form of special attachments and extra, equipment. In
addition there arc special purpose uses which require a some-
what "Tailor-made "unit. It is not a product which can readily
be sold against future possible use, rather is it sold to meet
an existing requirement or as often happens the manufacturer
ferrets out a new use and attempts to introduce his product
for trial.
As between the products of the various manufacturers there
exists a comparison in that a product of given type and price
will be practically the same in general construction and per-
formance, differing only in detail. For example, the specimen
200 Amp Stationary ".'."elder used (Appendix B, Part S) , sold gexer*-
ally for $5G0 and was quite similar for all producers.
Problems
Lower cost to the user and more rapid construction are
among the main sales features. Among the problems encountered.,
the matter of overcoming the almost universal resistence to
change in method of Production looms large. I?or example: In
advocating the use of wholly welded structures such as bridges
and steel frame buildings the matters of securing architectural
Acceptance and municipal approval are common obstacles. There is also the
objection of craftsmen who see their trade endangered by a new
yrocess, as in the case of riveters who see possibility of
wholly welded structures eliminating the riveter. One of the
latest ships built for the i'avy has less than 100,000 rivets
whereas previous ships of the same type had. many times that
number.
Those in charge of production in industry do not care to
undertake the expense and trouble of training employees in a
new art especially if employees skilled in the process to be
9322
-83-
replaced are available. To meet this situation the Industry
has issued books and instructions on the practical phases of elec*
Trade ins trie arc welding and has cooperated to train employees. The
rapid development of the product has created a high rate of
obsolescence and with it the problem of the "trade in, " which re-
sults in some rather ludicrous "sales." One fairly authentic
case cites two manufacturers involved in spirited bidding that
included trading in some old equipment which had been standing
exposed to the weather for some little time. After bids and
counter-bios with the purchaser goading the contestants on,
the successful bidder wound up by practically "swapping" the
Deferred new equipment for the old and obsolete. Electric arc welding equip-
Favments ment sells at prices ranging from about $300.00 to $3500.00, and
Rentals - • The relatively high unit cost coupled with the fact of it
Demonstra-p" -.being a comparatively new product led manufacturers to encourage
tions and new users by offering trials and demonstrations, deferred payment,
Guarantees rental and rental purchase plans. Frior to price filing the
variance among the terms and conditions of plans offered by the
various companies ma.de it difficult to know the actual market
price. Thus in order to sell his product effectively a manufac-
turer in addition to pushing the quality and performance had to
sell his plan of handling the particular account in competition
with the plans of other manufacturers.
2. The Frice Call (Exhibit A)
In 1933 the Industry was at a low point both in sales and
employment. Estimated sales dropped from a peak of eleven and
one-half million dollars in 1929 to a low of four and one-half
millions in 1932. Sales were somewhat improved in 1933 with an
estimated total of seven and one-half millions of dollars. The
purpose of issuing the price call was to attempt stabilization of
prices and to bring in the open all the various factors of payment,
rental, demonstration, etc., which went to make up price.
The original price call was issued October 19, 1933, effective
October 29, 1933. This call exempted prices to re-sellers and
for export.
The Industry did not include "trade ins" under open price
filing because they felt that the regulatory measures available
through KRA v?ere insufficient.
In November 1934 it was found necessary to supplement the
price call emphasizing the necessity of including all types of
equipment with adequate descriptive and technical inf orma.tion.

3 . Original Fr ice St ructure
The original price structure shows (Appendi:: B, Part 6)
that as of the inception of open price filing there was little
or no uniformity as to structural content. Eleven companies
offered e deferred payment plan, only three offering the same
plan. Fourteen companies used a rental or rental purchase plan.
Eight companies using one plan, three another, and three still
another. In pricing a standard set of welded accessories
seventeen companies quoted $40.00, one compan5' quoted from
$25.00 to $150.00, depending upon the rating of the machine,
and two companies did not quote on a standard set. The uni-
formity here is probably due to the fact that a more or less
standard set was sponsored "by the rational Electrical I.ianu-
facturers1 Association, prior to FSA.
Discounts
Two companies quoted discount of 33 l/3$ to Educational
Institutions.
Terms of Payment
Terms of payment were quoted net 30 days "by fifteen com-
panies, 2>D ten days, net 30 days hy four companies. One com-
pany did not file cash discounts or terms of payment.
Delivery Terms
Deliver;'- terms of twelve companies; f.o.b. factory,
freight allowed; six- companies quoted f.o.b. factory, and two -~
quoted f.o.b. freight allowed, except on tractor types which
were quoted f.o.b. factory.
Demonstration Flans
Fine companies did not offer a demonstration plan; five
offered 30 days one machine of a given rating; three offered
30 days; two offered 30 days, customer pays freight; and one
company stated that demonstration was allowable, subject to
the division manager.
Guarantee
Eight companies filed no guarantee; four offered 12 months;
six gave 12 month's, except- on gasoline engines or other pur-
chased parts carrying makers1 guarantee, four companies quoted
12 months material and workmanship, and two guaranteed to meet
I"E1A Standards. '
C. Final Price Structure
9822
In the final price structure more uniformity exists.
Seventeen companies offered a deferred payment plan, four-
teen using exactly the same plan. In rentals fifteen companies
used the same plan.
Accessories in standard sets continued to be quoted as in
the original filing.
Terms of Payment
Terms of payment are nor; qtioted, net 30 days "oy seventeen
companies; one company offers 2$ and another I'fo for payment in
ten days, net 30 days, and one company still does not file terms
of payment.
Delivery Terms
Delivery terms have remained substantially the same, er.cept
that one additional company quotes "f.o.b. factory, freight
allowed, " and one company instigated new terms of "f.o.b. factory,
freight prepaid. "
Demonstration Plan
Eight companies still do not file a demonstration plan,
but the remaining twelve all off erred the same plan, which was
30 days, one machine of a given rating.
Guarantee
Guarantees are now offered by thirteen companies, twelve
of which quoted 12 months, material and -workmanship, two of the
twelve limiting the guarantee on gas engines to 30 days, and
two not guaranteeing gas engines and accessories which carry the
guarantee of the maker. The remaining company gtiaranteed to meet
I7SMA. Standards, no time specified. Thus a marked trend toward
uniformity has occurred in foiir important elements in the final
price structure:
1. Deferred payment plans.
Seventeen conroanies now offer a deferred payment plan,
whereas originally eleven companies offered a plan. Originally
nine plans were offered of which one was used by three companies
and the balance subscribed to by individual companies. Finally,
there were four plans, of nhich one was used by fourteen com-
panies, and the remaining three used by individual companies.
2. Rental and rental puchase plans.
Originally fourteen companies offered a plan, finally four-
teen conroanies. At first, eight companies used one plan, three
used a second, and three a third. Finally, fifteen companies used
a -olan originally used by three companies; two companies used a
9822
-86-
plan previously ' used by three companies, and one company offers
a plan not found in tiie original.
3. Demonstration plans.
At first eleven companies offered demonstration -olans, fin-
ally twelve companies, originally four different plans were used,
finally only one plan.
4. Guarantee.
The number of companies offering guarantee increased from
twelve to thirteen, with twelve of the thirteen offering practi-
cally the same guarantee.
5. Price.
Price changes were frequent and were brought about by
raising and lowering list price. Most of the changes involved
only a few items, it being a comparative rarity to find a price
change affecting the entire line of a company. A bare majorit:'
of the list price changes were in the nature of price reductions
and! it is probable that more individual items were reduced than
increased in price.
Similarity of list price may at first glance appear odd in
view of the apparent elements of individuality and qualit^r of
the product. However standard welding apparatus does not have
nearly so many deviations as do a number of other products and
in fact product comparison ms?? often be made accurately on
the basis of performance. Furthermore some flexibility exists
under open price filing because of the fact that information
regarding trade-in allowances was not required under the price
call.
Reference to the compilations on total purchase prices
under deferred payment and rental purcha.se plans will indicate
that finally it was easier to purcha.se and that the cost of
financingwas not, on the average, as, high as under the original
structure, interest charges being reduced' generally to 6$.
Originally five companies required more than 20$ down. In the
final filing all except two quoted 20$ down, the two exceptions
requiring 30$ and 33 l/3$. It is interesting that in the pro-
posed supplemental code submitted by this group but never app-
roved by iUA, a proposed Uniform Sales Plan contained exactly
the standard conditions of the final stiTi.ctxi.re.
D. Chronological P.ecord of Price Filings by Conroanies -
Appendix A, Part 6
In analyzing how the trend toward uniformity occurred the
following points emerge:
First: Each company changing an element moved from its
original position to its final without any intermediate
9822
-87- ■'
change. In praoti calls'" every case only one change
per company was made in each element.
Second: The changes did not occur at the same time for all
companies. In the case of the deferred payment plan
changes occurred from February 1934 to February 1335.
Third: i:ew plans are rare. Pious used by one or more indus-
try members in the original filing "become the stand-
ard.
At the outset of open price filing the policies of certain
companies gave them advantage, as for example Company #6 in
its original filing quoted Government specification at nrices
equal to those for standard equipment of equivalent rating.
In addition the standard equipment of this company was quoted
at prices leer than comwarable items of other Cotmpanies.
This was a distinct a.dvantage during the early days of
">rice filing "because Government schedule s, especially Naval,
offered the best marhet. To offset the advantage held by
COiinan" #6 and at the same time to preserve -:->rice levels on
standard items competitors split their filed prices into Wo
groups: 1. Prices to Government and 2. Prices to others. This
arrangement enabled competition 7/ith Conroany #6 in the active
marhet (Government) and at the same time permitted prices to "be
held firm in quiet marhet c. As a result of this move on the
part of competitors Company #6 initiated price increases which
in turn were followed by competitors.
ilumber of Pilings
A total of 218 filings were made, of which 67 had waiting
periods less than ten days. Of the 67, twenty-eight filings
made by fifteen companies had short waiting periods approved
"by the Supervisory Agency. These included cases where in the
judgment of the Supervisory Agency nothing "as to be gained by
a waiting pena.lt:*, as in the case of construction detail, em-
ergency requirements of Government schedules, and in a few
cases increase or decrease in price. Of the remaining filings
with short waiting periods, thirty-nine in number were filed by
twelve companies to meet competition. This would indicate that
the waiting period was not frequently utilised to meet initiating
revisions. The average number of price filings per month was
10.8. This is slightly more than one filing per company each
two months. The number of filings for each company over the
eighteen months of price filing varies from two to twenty-two.
Incidentally the small companies mahe few changes in price.
This may be e;.\->lained. by the fact that the value added by
manufacture and. the margin of operation were sufficient to
d.esensitize the industry to all but major price movements. Thi s
is not the only possible rea.son. It may have been that a.t the
time of a particular initiating revision no one was selling.
However, when and if sales possibilities occurred these appa.rent
laggards ventured to bring their filings up to date.
9822
Government Business
As an indication of the importance of Government business
during open price filing note that 75 filings were made to that
market. This is about r65fo of the total filings made.
2. Besxilts of Open Price ffiling.
Probable results of open price filing as indicated by the
record are:
1. Trend toward Uniformity of Structure by members of
the group.
2. Generally loner published list prices.

CHAPTER 8
LRY CELLS AMD FLASHLIGHTS
A . Tne Industry
1 • The Product
Tiie dry cell consists of a zinc case enclosing a fabric sack in
which is contained a solidified solution of ammonium chloride and water
in the center of wnich is located a stick of carbon surrounded by a
layer of manganese dioxide. The zinc cell or case is open at the top
and after tne assembly of the various components is sealed by pouring
in a melted resin. In recent years a method of sealing has been develop-
ed in which a metal ton is spun in place in a manner similar to the pro-
cess us<=d in making tin cans.
Materials
Raw materials required are zinc, ammonium chloride, manganese
dioxide, some form of carbon, cotton fabric, water, sealing resin and a
paper material for cover tubing.
Processes
Manufacturing processes involve the cutting and forming of the zinc
into cups, forming the carbon into rods of the required size, mixing
solution of ammonium chloride and water wnich is solidified with some
filler sucn as starcn and tne preparation of the manganese dioxide.
Tnese various components are then made up into sub-assemblies and assembl-
ed with the zinc case and sealed. The cells are then inserted in a
paper tube bearing tne name or brand of the manufacturer and the process
is complete except for ageing.
Standardization
The application of dry cells requires that they be standardized as
to size, while chemical reactions of similar compositions provide
standardization of voltage. The only variation wnich can easily be made
is in the current producing capacity wnich can be regulated by the purity
and strengtn of the chemicals used and by the thickness of the zinc case.
Regardless of the size of the cell tne voltage output is constant
at about 1.6 volts, but by increasing the size a larger current may be
drawn for a longer period of time. The cells are made in many sizes,
the smallest probably being the so-called "pen light" about ^ in
diameter, and about 1-^' long. Next in size is the "small meno cell" then
the "large mono cell". The "large mono cell" is probably the most popular
for use in flashlights. The largest unit cell made commercially is the
#5 cell which is about 3^" in diameter and 6" high. This type of cell is
used for telephone, doer bells, ignition, etc. Since the rate of dis-
charge of the cell regulates the amount of depolarizer needed, the in-
9983
(
<
-97-
ternal construction varies slightly in cells for specific us^s. This
is particularly true in case *6 cells which are made in at least 4
types, namely, Ignition, Radio, General Purpose, and Telephone. Each
of these cells is designed to meet a specific condition of current
demand. Number 6 cells are sometimes connected in multiple and sealed
in cases for ignition and otner purposes.
F.adio B batteries are made by connecting the necessary number of
"mono cells" in series to secure the required voltage, This "block" is
then mounted in a cardooard box and closed with sealing resin. The life
or capacity of a oattery is regulated by the size of the cells used or
by the hook-up of cells in trie block. B catteries are made in light
and heavy duty sizes.
The quality of the cell can be altered to some extnet by adulterat-
ing or decreasing tne amounts of the chemical elements entering into
construction, out it is doubted if any gr»at saving could be accomplish-
ed sinc» the major production cost appears to be labor ratner tnan
materia.ls.
Due to the high percentage of labor cost ev-ry effort is made to
utilize production machinery wherever practical, but there still remain
a numoer of operations which are better performed manually. The work
lemands manual dexterity rather than skill and experience.
i ono cells are quoted in at least three grades by the larger
companies. The standard grade bears the manufacturer's name, the other
grades being referred to as special label, private label, customers
label, etc.
Flashlight Cases
Flashlight cases are made in numerous suzes ranging from the
mi nature vest pocket light to tne six and seven cell searchlight. The
manufacture usually involves only usual metal stamping, forming, and
finishing operations. The construction details vary widely in the
various types and sizes of lights. The only standardization in flash-
light cases concerns the space provided for tne dry cells. All other
details, reflector, lens, switch mecnanism, etc., can vary in different
types of flashlight cases, and from company to company. Thus it becomes
almost impossible to compare accurately the flashlight cases of various
manufacturers due to tne variations in construction "and resultant dif-
ferences in value. Flashlight cases are made in retail from 10^ to
4>5.00 and over. Tne materials required in construction are mainly
glass, brass, copper, zinc, insulating material and metal finishing
materials.
Members of the Industry
The industry is made up of about 25 companies, some of which
manufacture only flashlight cases or dry batteries, while others
manufacture both. The companies vary in size from small concerns of
50 employees or less to the larger units employing 1000 processing
employees. The plants are located through the Forth central and North-
eastern part of the country. At least 6 are located in and near New
York City; 3 each in Wisconsin and Ohio; 2 each in Illinois and
9822
-98-
Connecticut while others are located in nearby states, and one company
in Virginia.
Llarke t
Dry cells are widely used not only for lighting and radio purposes
"but for power supply for recording and indicating instruments, telephones,
ignition, etc. Probably the largest market at the present time is for
use in flashlights and other lighting devices. Only a few years ago the
largest volume was in radio A, 3 and C batteries.
In recent years, a new market has been approved. American manufac-
turers of mechanical toys, in striving to develop intricate and faithful
reproductions of trains and automotiles and similar toys "began to use
dry cells to light electric head lamps- and to operate electrical acces-
sories. This could be done without any unreasonable increa.se in produc-
tion costs and the popularity of this type of toy rapidly spread through-
out the countrye This class of customer purchases, the large mono cell
si^e and is quoted trices on lots of as raajiy as three million and over.
While the sales in this field probable do not represent any major part of
the volume of the industry, each cell used in a toy of this type repre-
sents a. possible later sale of at least one or two batteries for replace-
ment purposes. Only standard brand cells are quoted to this class of
customers. The prices quoted to toy manufacturers approxmia ,te *1he prices
quoted to syndicate stores on special label or private label cells.
Location
Batteries are eventually sold to consumers through many forms of re-
tail outlets such as drug, grocery, hardware stores, etc. The per capita
consumption is probably higher in the suburban areas than in the cities.
The majority of radio batteries are sold in rural areas and for amplica-
tion where electric power is not available.
Market Statistics
The statistics on the following "page, are derived from a questionnaire
sent out in 1933 by the national Electrical Manufacturers Association in
connection with a, proposed Supplemental Code. The show a tremendous decline
in sales, from about $60,000,000 in 1926 to about $16,000,000 in 1 932.
Distribution by Manufacturers
Distribution of dry batteries must be carefully planned as they are a
perishable item. Distribution falls into three channels which are: sales
for resale, sales for consumption, and sales for use a.s an integral part
of a "Droduct.
Probably the major portion of the flashlight and radio batteries are
distributed through wholesalers, distributors, jobbers, and retailers to
the ultimate pruchasers. Telephone companies consume a large part of the
#6 cell production while initial equipment manufacturers and toy manufactur-
ers use large numbers of the mono cells.

2 . Problems
At the outset of pricc filing the industry faced several major
problems, 'witn the widespread use of vacuum tube radios, in the 1920' s
the demand for dry cells built up very rapidly. New companies enter-
ed the battery field, factories were expanded, and machinery install-
ed to meet this n^w demand. However, tne introduction of the AC
vacuum tube and the radio set operating entirely on household current
caused an abrupt decrease in this market for dry cells. .
Dry batteries were also supplanted in other fields such as signal-
ling systems in which new. developments made the use of alternating
current practical. Low voltage transformers replaced considerable
numbers of batteries used. for door Dell and similar uses.
Since practically the only other major use was in flashlights,
efforts were made to stimulate sales in' that market. Some manufac-
turers who were primarily makers of dry cells also began making flash-
light cases. It is alleged that this type of manufacturer would
practically give away flashlight cases in order to sell dry cells.
On the other hand the same statement is made about manufacturers whose
primary product was flashlight cases and who would give away the dry
cells cells in order to sell the flasnlignt cases.
Thus the decrease in demand caused by the depression coupled with
the loss of markets brought tne industry volume to a very low ebb.
The serious nature is indicated Dy statistics submitted by the industry,
in application for the supplemental code, showing that the number of
concerns in the industry fell from 125 in 1928 to 40 in 1930 and to
27 in 1933.
This condition brought about the widespread introduction of the
low price snecial label cell. These were made by practically all mem-
bers of the industry.
Pr o duct Standards
There is a problem in establishing, in terms of quality, some
form of standards for all grades of cells, and some form of classifi-
cation by performance is also needed. Large purchasers, such as the
government, nave set up standard tests in an attempt to establish the
value of a cell on the basis of its performance under regulated con-
ditions of current (electrical) demand.
The cheap grades of large mono cells are usually sold by the
manufacturer for a fraction of a cent per c°ll less than the standard
brand but the low orice cell usually retails for 5^ while the standard
cell retails for 10^. The following is an illustration, but does not
take into consideration special discounts, allowances, etc.

Freight
Dry cells pre comparatively heavy and therefore freight becomes

2 . Problems
At the outset of pric« filing tne industry faced several major
problems. Witn the widespread use of vacuum tube radios in the 1920' s
tne demand for dry cells built up very rapidly. Few companies enter-
ed the battery field, factories were expanded, and machinery install-
ed to meet this n^w demand. However, tne introduction of the AC
vacuum tube and the radio set operating entirely on household current
caused an abrupt decrease in this market for dry cells.
Dry batteries were also supplanted in other fields such >s signal-
ling systems in which new developments made the use of alternating
current practical. Low voltage transformers replaced considerable
numbers of batteries used for door Dell and similar uses.
Since practically the only other major use was in flasnlights,
efforts were made to stimulate salys in that market. Some manufac-
turers who were primarily makers of dry cells also began making flash-
light cases. It is alleged that this type of manufacturer would
practically give away flashlight cases in order Co sell dry cells.
On tne other hand the same statement is made about manufacturers whose
primary product was flashlight cases and who would 'give away the dry
cells cells in order to sell the flasalignt cases.
Thus the decrease in demand caused by the depression coupled with
the loss of markets brought tne industry volume to a very low ebb.
The serious nature is indicated oy statistics submitted by the industry,
in application for the supplemental code, showing that the number of
concerns in the industry fell from 125 in 1928 to 40 in 1930 and to
27 in 1933.
This condition brought about the widespread introduction of the
low price special label cell. These were made by practically all mem-
bers of the industry.
Pr qduc t Standards
Tnere is a problem in establishing, in terms of quality, some
form of standards for all grades of cells, and some form of classifi-
cation by performance is also needed. Large purchasers, such as the
government, nave set up standard tests in an attempt to establish the
value of a cell on the basis of its performance under regulated con-
ditions of current (electrical) demand.
The cheap grades of large mono cells are usually sold by the
manufacturer for a fraction of a cent per c>=ll less than the standard
brand but the low price cell usually retails for 5^ while tne standard
cell retails for 10^. The following is an illustration, but does not
take into consideration special discounts, allowances, etc.

3. Price Call (Exnibit a)
The price call covering dry batteries and flashlight cases of all
types was sent out on November 10, and was due on November 23, 1933.
It was cancelled about a year later.
4. 'ork Sneets
The voluminous nature of the filings made it necessary te sQt up
the work sneets in two parts. The first, Appendix 3, Part 7a, shows
customer classifications and quotations on radio B batteries, #6 dry
cells, large mono cells and flashlignt cases for both the original and
final structure. The spcond, Appendix B, Part 7b, snows delivery terms,
delivery charges and allowances including special discounts and allow-
ances r<nd terms of payment. Both tabulations cover all representative
companies.
Since net prices derived from a standard list are quoted to the
various customer classifications, Appendix 3, Part 7, Section (a),
gives the list price of specimen items and the calculated discount for
each customer classification. It should be remembered that these
discounts are not qtoted by the companies but calculated from the list
price to facilitate comparison of customer differentials.
It was necessary to use symbols to a large extent on the various
work sneets in order to condense material, and a legend will be found
on each work sheet explaining the symbols used.
Tne Chronological- Record of Price Filing (.-vpnendix A, Part 7)
gives in detail tne content of the price filings of renresentative
companies. All cf th^ large companies are included as well as s*»me
small companies whose filings w>'re sufficiently complete to be usable.
Some of tne small companies made only 1 or 2 filings and listed
a very few products while others .wer° not particularly active. For
instance, one company was primarily a manufacturer of portable
acetylene lamps and made only 1 or 2 lamps which were battery operated.
Another manufactured dry batteries for hearing devices.
Work sne<=ts were also made listing each price quoted on #6 dry
cells and large mono cells (Appendix 3, Part 7-3). This covers prices
on standard, special label, and private label brand cells for th°se
products.
9e22
-102
B. Basic Structure
Original Filiag
Pricing
List trices wpre quoted on most items together with net nrices to
the various customer classes. This list t)rice appeared to b» of little
use excent as a measure of the reduction or discount given to tue various
classes of customers and possibly as a suggested retail nrice.
Two liat prices for fS dry cells and two net prices were quoted to
even customer classification, 1 applying in the east and the other for
snipment to the Pacific coast. Tnis was the only product on which an
East-west differential was stated.
However, percentage discounts do aToear as illustrated in the
following quotation:
"On the general line of flashlight cases the distributor is en-
titled to a 1-gja discount on prices quoted to them; de-oartment stores and
chain stores receive a 15 • discount from dealers prices .industrial users
and governments are charged o:-> above the distributors net prices quoted."
Quantity Differentials '
Tne net prices arrnear to be graduated largely on the basis of
quantity purcnased, ranging from dealers, who purchase in small quantities
and are. quoted the hignest price to toy manufacturers wno are quoted in
lots as large as "3 million and over" and receive the lowest price.
Practically all companies offered a 3' •■ discount on carload quantities
and aoout 5 companies set um 2 quantity groups of less than 5^00 and
over 5400 cells annually but this applied only to industrials. The price
for over 54 00 annually ranged from 10 to lbl b^low tne price for smaller
quantities.
Toy manufacturers were quoted on quantities purcnased annually in
stens ranging from 250,000 to 3,000,000 cells and over.
Type of Product
Prices vary materially on grade and brand for all types of batteries.
These grades and brands are referred to as standard label, special label,
private label, customer label, and the like. This label differential
does not appear for flashlight cases as tnese are quoted by catalogue
numbers although some of the companies quote a very cheap product usually
referred to as "zinc cas»" flashlights'. '••. ; .. •
/
Packaging
Dry cells are quoted per each in standard packages which vary in
number of batteries contained. In the case of toy manufacturers quotation."
are for large units on an annual consumption basis and packaging is of
little importance. An extra charge is made to all customer classes for
9822
-1 :-
l°ss than standard package quantities.
Deals and Assortments
One of the practices in the industry was to- offer packaged deals or
assortments to dealers, distributors, joboers and wholesalers. These
consisted of a number of flashlight cas°s and batteries. A typical deal
would be made up of 6-3 cell flashlights and 48 batteries. Thus if the
flashlight cases were sold complete with batteries, 30 cells would be
left to be sold separately. .A net trice was quoted on this deal which
amounted to from 5--> to !<•$ below the price of the goods if purchased ,i
separately. Apparently the object of these deals was to "push" cells
and get them on display in retail establisnments.. Deals and allowances
were included only in Appendix A, Part 7 because of their variety,
comr.lexity and short life.
Customer Classes and Discounts
Customers are of two basic types- Users and Resellers. Practically
all producers quote both types. Typical of Users are industrials,
governments and telephone companies who consume cells.
Resellers are of three types - First those who sell direct to
consumers such as dealers, chain stores, mail order houses and
department stores; second, those who resell for resale "as such" in-
cluding distriDutors, wnolesalers and jobbers; and third, those who
resell as an integral part of their products such as toy manufacturers.
Quotations
The various customer classes are established in price ranges that
are more or less uniform throughout the industry. The relative com-
petitive positions of these classes appear to be based on potential
volume to be purchased and fall in 'approximately the following order:
Dealers
Department Stores
Wholesalers
Jobbers
Distributors
Industrials and Governments
Chain Stores
Mail Order Houses
Equipment Manufacturers
Toy Manufacturers
Special Allowances and Discounts
a furtner cause of difficulty was the individual treatment of
customers within a customer class. This, it is believed was a cause
underlying the quotation by most companies of specisl allowances and
discounts wnich in some cases were applicable only on the option of the
manufacturers. In others a range of discount or allowance was establish-
ed permitting the manufacturers to quote a specific customer a dis-
count any where within the range.
■^he creation Tf this type of discount was also brought about by
the keenly competitive situation resulting from both price and volume
decreasing. All producers were very sensitive to price change and tried
to establish a flexibility available as required without revisions of
3822
-104-
filings. Tnese special concessions instead of oeing occasional and
temporary became a fixed part of the structure and once a customer
received a special discount or allowance ho expected to secure it on
all miren-tr.es. This brought about a lowering of price on all sales
rather than only lowering prices in the special or emergency cases
where the manufacturer felt the circumstances .justified.
Tnese special allowances and discounts show little uniformity
from company to comoany as to formal description although usually
limited to 104. Therefore discounts quoted in the original filings
ane in subsequent revisions do not appear in the final filings be-
cause of having been replaced by new ones. Some examples of these
discounts are described below.
One discount was quoted in consideration of quantity, quality and
cost of selling or transportation.
Some companies quoted a discount ranging from 2^ to 9$ to key
d:5 stributors.
One or two companies reserve right to grant up to 204 discount on
government orders.
Delivery Terms .(Appendix B, Part ■ 7-A).
Toy manufacturers were sold F.O.B. factory in all cases; Mail
Order Houses and Chain Stores were usually quoted F.O.B. destination
in carload lots and F.O.B. warehouses in less than carloads. These
warehouses or distribution points were located in cities which were
about fifty per cent uniform for all companies. All other customer
classes were quoted in 100 pound shipments .and over. Freight terms
were not very uniform and while the foregoing sums up the general trend
of the quotations many companies differed more or less in their delivery
terms.
Delivery terms varied on different products, for example, the #6
cell is quoted at a higher delivered price west of the Rockies than in
The East, but the radio B Dattery, which is heavier and costs more than
the #6 cell, is quoted at the same price for all distribution.
Terms of Payment (Appendix B, Part 7 -a)
Terms were fairly uniform throughout the industry and were usually
2*5-10 days or 10th prox, net 30 days or 60 days.
2. Final Structure
List prices with tne exception of tnose on flashlight batteries
all have been revised downward. Typical list price revision on radio
3 batteries would be from the original list price of $2.60 to the final
lis't price of a'1,80, resulting in a corresponding decrease in net prices
because the percentage difference between original list' prices and net
prices and final list and net prices remained about the same. The #6
9822
-105-
dry cells list price was decreased for Eastern joints from 37(# to 30<#
each proportionate reductions were made for Western points. This 30^
list price was almost universal in the industry and net prices were
also reduced.
List price changes on flashlight cases varied from drastic reductions
on some types to very little change in others, net price changes follow-
ing the list.
Quantity Differentials
Quantity differentials remained practically unchanged. J-'here was no
change in discount on carload quantities but the quantity discount to
industrials was eliminated by price reductions which gave as low a price
for "any quantity" as had been available by purchasing over 5400 cells
under the terms of the original filing.
fyoe of Product
So far as could be determined the same grades and brands of products
continued to be quoted while in some cases new brands were added.
Packaging
There was no important change under this heading.
Deals and Assortments
The number of "Deals" and "Assortments" was increased but tnere
appeared to be no change in the 5 to 10 > difference between the deal
price and the total net value of the component items, j-'he increase in
number made a greater range of comoinations available.
Customer Classes and Discounts
The net prices quoted to different customer classes still appear to
be in about the same ratio to each other as in the original filings.
Hewever, during the period of filing tne relative n°t prices quoted to
Users were increased slightly while those quoted to some Resellers
"as sucn" were decreased slightly by some companies and increased by
others. Prices to still other Resellers no Id their position.
Changes in level of net prices quoted are in the nature of readjust-
ments for all customer classes and do not materially penalize or favor
either of the* two basic customer groups of users and resellers. Most
•f the pricp movements tended to narrow the rangp- of prices quoted to
eacn customer classification rather than to change the relative position
of a given classification.
Howpver, by the application of any of the special discounts or
allowances drastic cnanges could fep made in any of the differentials
between customer classifications.
Thus there are two known levels of price, (l) the list price and
', <0 net prices to customer classes. However, the use of special
allowances and optional discounts to the customers net offers numerous
9822
-106- '
possibilities in the creation of additional unrecorded price levels.
For instance consider the list price of a product as a straight
norizontal line, the filed net prices to customer classes range down-
ward in a stair like line from "Dealers" as the "top step" to "Toy
Manufacturers" as the "bottom step" . Ey using' special allowances and
optional discounts thestairs can De moved below the quoted position
without distortion of snape or change in direction.
However, if they are not applied merely the shape or direction of
tiao pattern <^an be materially changed.
Tnis results in a situation where it is practically impc^sible to
determine the price on a specific transaction from the price. The most
exact calculations would indicate only the range within filing records
wnicn might occur. . ,-■
Probably the most important of these special discounts is that
quoted "in consideration of quantity, quality and cost of selling and
transportation" . Originally this discount was quoted as VJ'-, but it
was taxen up oy company after company and increased until one company
actually reacned the ridiculous extreme of quoting "up to 80#" for
tnese considerations.
Continual changes were made in these special discounts throughout
the period of price filing. For instance, one filing might cancel a
discount and the succeeding filing reinstate it and even broaden its
scope. As a general observation it seemed that the number of special
discounts increased for a period and then during the latter period of
price filing a trend occurred toward decreasing tneir numoer and
complexity, however,, the net effect was a decided increase in their use.
Delivery Terms
Delivery terms were changed continually throughout the filing
period but no .more uniformity developed than in the origiml filings.
Toy manufacturers were still sold '.'F.O.B. Factory".. The warehouse
cites from which chain store and mail order shipments were made were
increased in number especially on the Pacific const.
Terms_ of Payment
No changes of ' any importance were made.
3. Chronological _Eecord of Price Filings - Appendix A, Part .7
dumber of Filing_s . .......
The number of price filings varied from one or two for small
companies to about 20 for large companies.
Form and Content
The form and content of the filings was very poor. Products could
not be identified from filing to filing nor was it clear to wnom dis-
counts applied. In filing revisions very few companies indicated what
9822
_ -107-
material if any were cancelled. Terminology used in describing customer
classes would be referred to under three different names in the same
filing, for example, a discount sheet would carry the heading "Distribu-
tors Discount Sheet" but in the body of the filing reference would be
made in one place to dealers and in another to jobbers.
Waiting Period
The majority of the filings had short waiting periods but not ap-
parently to meet the competition of any individual company. It would
seem as thoxigh filings were made to meet the competition of a number of
companies, for example, in making a revision a given company would not
indicate that they were meeting the competition of a specified company
or companies but would merely state "to meet competition" and thereupon
file to meet one company on list price, another on discount, a third on
terms, and a fourth on special allowances.
In the matter of leadership no one company was outstanding. Initi-
ating revisions were made by practically every company. In some ca.ses the
filing would be met by all of the major companies prior to the effective
d-~te, in others the meeting would be strung out over a period of weeks.
It was, however, more usual that filings be met within the 10-day waiting
period or shortly thereafter.
General
A most interesting incident is the upward revision of prices by
Company #4 filed May 1st, effective May 15, 1934, which was followed by
most of the major companies by cancelled before the effective date,
A second movement of interest is the cancellation of all prices on
August 9, 1934, by Company #8, which ?;as followed by similar cancellation
by practically all of the larger companies. However, within two or three
days after this cancellation the prices which had been cancelled were
reinstated. After a further trial of about three months the price call
was cancelled.
Summary
1, Eumber of grades and brands increased slightly.
2, The number of special brands made product identification very
difficult.
3, The form and content of many of the filings was very poor.
4, List and net prices generally lower.
5, Customer classes showed no increase in number and the net price
differentials remain in about the same ratio.
6, Special allowances increased in number and extent.

A. The Industry
1. Product
? rscri- 'tion
Radio reciving tubes are electrically motivated devices and re-
semble incandescent lamps in appearance. The tube is made up of a
ba-kelite base in which are cemented various f ilaments and grids en-
closed in a glass bulb.
: later iris
The materials used include bakelite, glass, tungsten, nickel and
steel.
Process of iianufacture
Originally/ most of the operations, especially in assembly, uere
manual. Machinery has been developed which has eliminated to a largo
extent rll manual work. Those companies still using manual ofocesses
do so in the omerati ns incident to assembling the intricate and deli-
cate inner mechanism of the tube where manual de::terity is essential.
Very feT* manufacturers produce their own bases -nd bulbs, the- bases
being purchased from Droducers of ohenolic products and the bulbs be-
ing -ourchased, rough blown, from glass manufacturers. The degree of
skill required, of erroloyees might be termed a s that of "specialized
assembly."
Variations of Products
All radio receiving tubes of the same type should theoretically
be indentical, since e"_cemt for some older types they are made under
license, but ability to manufacture and differences of machine equip-
ment cause some difference in grade. There are in e::cess of two
hundred types of tubes, each having a separate ouroose and use in
connection with radio reception, as between manufacturers, a g iven
ty >e of tube will earn'- the same identifying symbol.
2. Companies
..umoer
During the period of price filing, twenty-one corroaniea filed
prices.
Si-;e
Manufacturers employed from one hundred and fifty employees in the
9822
-112-
smallest plants to three thousand or more in one laxge -olant. About
twenty-five nor cent of the companies could bo rated as large and the
balance, ledium and snail.
Other Products
iianufacturers of radio receiving tubes are sometimes also pro-
ducers of incandescent lanps. Several connanies <::ho bulk largo in the
sale of radio receiving tubes do not manufacture, but handle tubes
in conjunction with radio receiving sets -.rhich they do manufacture.
Location

3. Market
Type of Sales
1. Sales for use .in nev sets, (initial Houipment)
2. Replacement sales.
Distribution
The relationship between the number of tubes sold as initial
eouinnent and the number sold for replacement is rather difficult
toil:;, due to the f a.ct that new t"?pes are constantly being introduced
as part of ner; equipment and old tyes are becoming obsolete. About
fifty per cent of the tubes sold each year are sole, for replacement
through distributors, jobbers, dealers and chains. The bulk of the
remaining vol e is distributed to set manufacturers for initial
equipment an-, the rest distributed to sales outlets under private
Label or brand.
Loc"tion
The market for re xLacenent radio receiving tubes v-ries rrith the
numer of radio sets sold and in use in an area. Sales for initial
equipment are largely confined to the industrial northea.st.
Freight
Freight is an item to be considered because due to the bulky and
fragile nature of the product, it carries a relatively high freight
rate.

jarellel, to a, large e::tent, those of the radio industry, of -'hich

tube manufacturing is a como'ient Dart. The radio industry is 210*7 rnd
unseasoned. Personalities comosing it ha.ve been drawn from nany raid
varied fields, with .the result that ir.-.ctices r:id custons of conjletely
divergent lines of "business hr.ve been )rought into the Industry.
The mortality among rrdio nanufacturers has been very high. The
peak number of irnuf acturers in one year was over two hundred, of
which not more than fifty are still in business.
In hind ruth nost production industries, the question of volume
loons large rnd it hp.s been an ever existent nroblen to resist de-
mands of volune vurchrsers for preference deened unreasonable.
"any and varied are the channels of distribution which have been
in use at one tine or another rnd the record of ooen nrice filing
shc-s evidence that even yet it has not been established which channels
of distrib-ution are nost advantageous.
The srtter of licensin : has involved much litigation due to the
nuierous natents -'hich -rere issued by the hundreds in the early dpys
of rrdio.
Ther: still exists the necessity for development and research,
the bill for '-.'hich is naid by the large manufacturers, and the re-
sults of -'hich are utilized by all nenbers of the Industry.
In the natter of nrice rlone, drastic unheavrls have occurred.
Bruio receivin;- tubes which ori ginally sold at u'icos an )roxiuating
those of present-day low-price snail receiving sets can now be purchased
in ten-cent stores for twenty-five and thirty cents.

In the area of enceitions to sonerrhat renerall"- standard dis-

remort 'before the twelfth of the month following date of invoice; net
10 days; 2l,s, 10 drys, 3-,s, 30 days, etc.
2. T'in-l "'rice Structure - Appendix 73. °prt 8
There is actually no final structure during the >eriod of o oen
nrice filing. The structure as of the date of the automatic cancella-
tion of the price call (Schechter decision) was practicall'' the sme
rs the original in so far as customer classif icrtion, amouit of dis-
count Multiplicity of terms, allowance, conditions, etc. The main
differences are three.
Pirst, that list and net prices pre Much lower, in sone cases less
than fifty per cent of the original list -price.
For exavue of actual reduction in nrice, reference should be made
to Appendix A, Part 3-a. It will be noted that jobbers net trices
appear to he somewhat higher than set manufacturers net prices, hut
it is often true that this difference is offset by special allowances
to the jobber.
As a result of the rapid and material price decrease, the c ompeti-
tive position of the various companies has changed radically* To
illustrate, on one type of tube, ITo. 25-Z-5, the company quoting the
highest price in January, 1934 quotes a -price lo-er than anyone else in
April 1S35. In .'act, considering the entire -orice structure, if
companies were listed in January 1934 in accordance with the -rices
they quotud and then relisted again as of A >ril 1935, company positions
in the list would be jractically reversed.
Second, a form of distributor, generally called "jobber" has
apparently been selected as the most advantageous channel of distri-
bution, and -prices are now quoted him emial to and even less than those
available to set manufacturers*
Competition to secure the job ier market began in the summer of
1934 "hen jobber prices wore reduced about one-third. Continued
competition to April of 1935 reduced jobber nrices further so that
finally the level was more than fifty per cent belc- that of November
of 1933. Practically every coiroany concentrated on the jobber market
■ l did so am >arently because Company Ho. 13 decided that it was a good
channel and took ste-os to get it.
Third, consignment has iractically disap eared.
The fret that consignment .oes not apnear as frequently in the
latter months of omen price filing should not give rise to the con-
ception that it had 'oeen eliminated permaiiently. It is -probable that
the conditions and allowances that "ent along with consignment tended
to destroy the usefulness of the device. For example, there is one
case in which a manufacturer offered a very attractive consignment
9322
-116-
orooosition. tTithin sixty days of his offer, ho mr.de a new -oro^osition
to Ihe effect that consignments could he closed out at mrices in effect
phout thirty days orior to the original consignment offer. These •
>rices '-ere considerably higher than the mrices in effect at the tine
of the consignment offer xnd at the time of the cancellation offer.
3 . Chronolo'-icrl p.eccrd of Filings "by Companies - Ammendix .-..,
Part 8 lumber of Pilings
Of the twenty-one comoanies who filed trices, chronological record
vts made of thirteen companies. These are illustrations of those not
i:irlndorl. The number of filings made ->er company varies from five
or six to more than forty. . In the case of the larger companies who
usually made the most filings, there is no particular meak filing
period hut rather a continuous filing and re-filing.
Content and Pom.
The content of the various filings was in many cases extremely
vague and incomplete and apparently no effort "as made toward im-
provement. State ents such as "2,S, 10 days," and "P.O. P." frequently
occurred without any further clarification. In chrnging list mrices,
some price sheets were issued under the name 'Distributors' Price Sheet"
or "Jobbers' Price Sheet" reducing the^list >rice materially. Ileither
then nor later did aiy specific mention occur of other customer classi-
fications with regard to the reduction in list. Thus, in the latter
stages of the price filing experience, it was extremely difficult to
be certain if there existed one list orice for all custoner classes or
whether the customer classes not referred to specifically in orice
reductions had been left high and o.ry with list mrices fifty to
sevexty-f ive per cent rbout the general levels. '-To-ever it anmears
unreasonable that such a condition should exist and it is jroVble
that the omission is due to the moor form of the xrice filings of many
companies.
Paitinrc Period
Pue to the confusing nature of the filings, it is difficult if
not immossible to determine when a filin ■ was ;iven a short waiting
meriod to ;ieet competition. 'my ,of the filings ao have r short
waiting me iod and a few am >arently meet the commetition of some other
conmany but, by rnC large, the almost continuous struct. m- 1 movement
made it i . ossible to determine "ho 'rs meeting whom and "hen, excent
on the most obvious natters.

CHAPTER 10
SOCKETS
A. The Incus try
I he aanufacture of sockets is usually carried on in addition to
that of other products, e special!'1,'" other firing devices* There are
about fift'"- companies ranging from very small producers carrying
only the popular and fast moving items, to large organizations handling
a complete line of standard and specialty sockets.
Froduct
The t"rpes of sockets may be classed under four headings:
1. Brass Shell Sockets.
2. porcelain Sockets.
3. Composition Sockets.
4. Weather Proof Sockets.
The variations from this point on, however, make the natter of product
identification and comparison exceedingly complex. For instance, unda-
brass shell sockets, are found sub-divisions such as "standard size"
and "electrolier" size. Then under both these general groupings, sockets
var3r according to wattage, finish and cap. For example, pendant cap,
flat cap, bracket cap, etc. Although sockets are furnished with standard
thread, others can be supplied. Weather proof sockets can be either porce-
lain or composition and all types of sockets may vary as to the switch-
ing mechanism supplied, length of chain or cord, whether an insulator is
placed in the chain and numerous other features which would adapt the
item for special use. In addition to the two general groups mentioned,
"-ere are also the mogul, intermediate, and candleabra.
Some types of sockets ere fairly well standardized as, for exa.mple,
brass shell sockets. The brass shell sockets of most manufacturers are of
the same dimension and appearance and may be interchanged. This r'oes not
folio-' in the case of other types such as composition and porcelain,
where ea.ch manufacturer is likely to have a different or individual de-
sign.
The basic design of sockets for the screw base bulb has not changed
but many variations in design are found in switch mechanism, construction
detail, dimension, finish, and amplication. Sockets, originally a separate
unit to be attached to the fixture, are now often made an integral p rt of
the fixture. This eliminates certain parts of the old type sockets in that
the shell, f@r example, will he part of the fixture.
As a result of the special applications which arise, the lines of
manufacturers r-ho are equipped to handle rpecial order work have gradually
increased to include numerous slow moving items. ThiL is not true in the
case of the smaller companies ''here the tendency is to handle only the
22
-V 1-
tendency is to handle only the standard "constant demand" product.
Realizing the difficulty of comparing the products of various compa-
nies, efforts have "been made . y producers to set up master catalogues which
cross reference the catalogue numbers of the various companies* This has
been attended with only limited success because only standard items can
be included, ?rC. the raoid change in the newer types and the special appli-
cation items lakes it almost useless for a company to !:eep track of any
one except its immediate competitors.
Manuf rcturin-;: Processes
The manufacturing processes vary somewhat in the different types of
sockets. In the case of brass shell sockets a body of porcelain or other
insulating material is used upon which are mounted the switch mechanism
and other parts of the socket. The brass shell is then assembled around
the internal assembly. With the exception of the body and the insulating
lining which is usually made of some fibre material, all parts are metal
sta :pings.
In making composition and molded sockets the body and shell are
molded or pressed as a unit and as the shell is a non-conductor of elec-
tricity the various metal :arts can be assembled directly to the shell thus
making a simplet assembly and requiring fewer parts.
Porcelain sockets have some of -the characteristics of the composition
sockets in that the shell is a non-conductor and may be used to support
the internal parts. However, metal inserts anc" screws may not be molded
into the porcelain shell as in the case of the composition type. Thus
an assembly often reouires a larger number of parts tnan in the case of
a similar socket molded of some plastic material. It is doubtful if all
companies manufacturing a line of porcelain sockets actually make their
own porcelain parts as the mauifacture of the ceramic products is a spe-
cialized business. The porcelain parts are probably supplied by some manu-
facturer of electrical porcelain.
The maker of a complete line of sockets requires a large array of mach-
inery and some skilled labor. The manufacture of sockets is not a speci-
alized art but a combination of usual manufacturing processes including me-
tal stampings, forming and finishing, plastic moulding, assembly, etc.
Packaftinr
Packaging of the goods appears to be quite uniform. Cartons are made
up of from 1 to 25 items. A certain number of txiese cartons then make
up a stanc rd package, the total number of items comprising a standard
package varying from 25 to as many as 1000. Factors governing the number
apparently are bulk, weight, value and the demrndfdr that particular pro-
duct, as an example: 250 standard brass shell sockets usually make a stand-
ard package. In the case of electrolier, candelabra- and other small sized or
unusual types of brass shell sockets the standard package is usually 50
or 100. Porcelain sockets are usually quo tec1, in standard packages of 100
9822
-122-
i terns. Composition sockets are usually packages the sane as porcelain
types.
This natter of packaging is important for the reason that discounts
are emoted on a package basis, for example: standard packages quantities
may carry a discount of 50$'0; carton quantities 35$o, less than carton quantitit
20)o. If the number of items making up a standard package '"ere to oe re-
duced by any one company it would amount to r reduction in the quantity
discount requirements in that a purchase: would receive a maximum dis-
count ~oy purchasing 200 sockets from one company, whereas it 7:ould be ne-
cessary to purchase 250 from another company to secure the same discount.
"owever, a comparison of the catalogues of t'-'O of the major com-
panies indicates that comparable sockets ^ere usually packaged in txie
same qxiantities by both companies, goth of these catalogues were dated prior
to the price call. Balk packaging used in shipments to class J customers,
etc., is assumed to mean packaging in uarrels or joxes with excelsior or
some similar material to prevent breakage. Thus a savings is made in
cost of cardboard boxes and manual labor of packaging.
G-eQigra'ohic Loca-tion
Plants are located in the Northeastern and North-central sections,
with eleven in or around New York City, six in Connecticut, four in Il-
linois, and the remainder distributed in surrounding states.
Number of Employees
Since most of the companies manufacturing sockets manufacture
other wiring devices, it is difficult to estimate accurately the number
of employees engaged in the manufacture of sockets. A rough estimate
would indicate that the number or employees range from about twenty-five
in small plants to over one thousand in the la; :;er units.
Marked
Sales may be divided into two general classes. First, sales to
manufacturers for use as an integral "part of their products, and second,
sales to resellers to resell "as such. "
2. History
The volume of socket manufacture and sale was seriously affected -•
by the general manufacturing and construction decline leading up to the
inception of NRA. Dating from the NEA but not necessarily because of it,
the volume has increased materially but prices have decreased. Various
projects of the Federal government, such as home modernization, farm el-
ectrification, low cost building, and construction have stimulated some
activity. In addition, the increasing use of built-in sockets in electric
home appliances and the new tvpes of sockets lately in demand -'or mod-
ernistic and indirect lighting have also given volume an impetus.
Originally, the manufacture of sockets, true also of many other
9822
""J. (COM
electrical items, was carried on by a relatively few pioneers in the
Industry, These companies with their early start, established a certain
amount of customer acceptance for various brands and names. As new com-
panies appeared from time to tine, they found themselves f^ced with the
necessity of overcoming this customer acceptance. This was usually at-
tempted by selling at a lower price, frequently made possible by cheapen-
ing the product.
In order to counteract the new competitor, the old line manufacturer,
in many ctrsea, brought out a secondary line with which to combat price
comoetitors without materially lowering the price level on their standard
lines. In addition to this, certain of the companies who apparently felt
that engaging in an open price war would endanger their dignified position,
equipped themselves with affiliates qr subsidiaries who could match tactic
for tactic with cry interloper without muddying the fair name of the parent
company.
The Wiring Device Group, including Sockets, is rich in the lore of
price cutting and unfair competitive practices. One of the more interest-
ing legendary schemes to increase business, concerns a manufacturer who
would approach a distributor offering very attractive prices and encourag-
ing the distributor to go in debt to the manufacturer. Then, when the
portents were propitious, the manufacturer would advise the distributor
that prices were up. The distributor, of 'course, would complain, stating
that he could purchase elsewhere for less. The reply of the manufacturer
would be that he had better not, because reposing in the strong boxes df
the manufacturer were sufficient notes for which, if payment were pressed,
the distributor would be sold out, lock, stock and barrel.
Competition for the questionable honor of putting the material in
prominent buildings has been alleged to lead manufacturers to offer to
give the material to the distributors or contractors who '-'ere the success-
ful bidders on the job.
The Socket Industry, like so many others, has changed a.s a result of
the advent of the volume buyer. The five and ten cent:. stores can' now pur-
chase so effectively as to be able to supply the contractor with wiring de-
vices at lower prices than he could purchase them from the manufacturer..
The cost a.ccounting system used by a goodly number of the smaller manu-
facturers is said to be very simple. It consists merely in knowing the
prices quoted by one or two of the large manufacturers. Then by a series
of rapid mental calculations and a few guesses he determines that, since
the larger maoiuf acturer has a much higher overhead, the smaller company
must have costs lo-rer by 5fo, 17fo, 20fo or whatever other percentage sounds
proper. Thus by applying the determined percentage, the smaller company
arrives at its selling prices. The fact that the larger company used as
en inde:: in arriving at cost may be itself losing money or not making any
sales at the prices quoted, is apparently of little or no interest.

The original urice call for the socket group was issued qn Sep-
tember 14, 1933, (iSxhibit A) and cancelled 'March 1, 1935. This first
price call, however, included all wiring devices. On October 6, 1933,
the Supervisory Agency cancelled the original price call on the ground
that it had "resulted in confusion and misunderstanding much to the dis-
advantage of the wiring device industry." Consequently* the products
covered by the original price call were grouped on the ba.sis of affilia-
tion and separate price calls were issued for each. The price call for
sockets was re-issued on llovember 29, 1933, effective December 12, 1933,
. (Exhibit "3). This second price call requested prices on all types of.
sockets and variations thereof together with terms of sale and payment, a,s
well as catalogue numbers and descrit-oions of each socket. The descrip-
tions filed, however, proved to be most inadequate. It is probable that
none could be made which - ould enable reliable comparison of -products*

The basis of quotation in this group was exceedingly varied. Some
companies quoted list, others net, and the majority a combination of both.
Thus, one customer classification would be quoted on a list basis for a given
item and another on a net basis and any one customer classification might
be quoted on a list basis for some items and net for others. In at least
one case, a customer class is quoted a discount fro:: the net price of another
class.
Discounts '-here quoted range from 30^ on less than carton quantities
to 50 and 5$ on standard packages.
.Customeri-Classificat ions and Discounts.
Discounts were quoted to customer classifications such as the following:
1. Distributors
2. Class J Customers
3. Competing Manufacturers
9822
-125-
4. Syndicate Stores
5. Wholesalers
6. Portable Lamp arid Shade iianufacturers
7. All Buyers
Competing manufacturers appear "because the many variations in pro-
duct make it advisable for some companies to fill out an incomplete line
by purchases from other manufacturers*
Class J was the only customer classification defined and its defini-
tion was apparently interpreted differently by different companies* This
definition was "the Class J customer is defined as one who buys standard
catalogue devices for use in assembly, but does not include portable lamp
and shade or wiring device manufacturers."
The above list of customer classes is arranged in the approximate
order of preference given 'in discounts or net prices.
Most companies quoted for distributors, wholesalers, syndicate store
and competing manufacturers. Of the remaining classes, Class J customers
and quantity buyers were quoted by the fewest companies.
Two compahied did not employ any customer classifications but quoted
a single price list to all buyers.
Terms of Payment.
It was general practice to quote the sane term for all classes of
customers although' some companies quoted slightly different terms to two
or more classes of customers. Terms were not uniform from corroany to com-
D.any, 'although 2$, 10th prox, net 30 or 60 days or approximation thereof
was most frequent, with extremes such as 5$, 15th prox, net 60, and 12%,
10 days; 10_, 30 days net 60 days.
Terms of Delivery
Delivery terras were based generally on the following: freight allowed
100 lbs. or over to any point in the United States. Less than 100 lbs.
P. 0.3. factory, express or parcel post shipments allowed at freight rates.
Some co jpanies allowed freight on less than 100 lbs. to syndicate
stores in large metropolitan areas.
Company ITo, 10 quotes on a/ basis of three ?:ones which is a carry over
from other branches of the Electrical Industry in which this company is
engaged. It is interesting that in1 the final filing this zone system has
been eliminated.

-126- '
2. Final Pilings
Prices
practically all wrices were revised downward during the period of
pri<^e filing, the extreme reduction on a few items "being about 45$ and
the average, 25$ to 35;'. The "basis of quotation "became more uniform in
that the majority of companies quoted more often on a net "basis. Complete
uniformity did not occur however, only about eight com-oanies uoting en-
tirely on a net basis and the remainder continuing, in a. lesser or greater
degree, the list and net basis of the' original filing.
Customer Classifications and Discounts.
The same costomer classes still exist but the majority of companies
now quote net prices to all buyers on a large mirber of items, whereas
only two companies had so quoted. ' 'TTnere discount s are quoted they are
about equivalent to those pf the original filing. The number of companies
quoting Class J has increased from five to ten; those quoting syndicates
have been reduced, from eight to two.
Terms of Payment !
The terms of more companies no" more nearly approach the typical
cited in the original filing, the previous extreme being now reduced to
5$, 10 days, invoices - first to fifteenth, due on the twenty-fifth; in-
voices sixteenth to thirty-first, due on the tenth prox, 30 days net.
Terms of Deliver:/-
Several companies made charges in delivery terms, changing the pre-
vious allowances of freight on 100 lbs. or over to an allowance on ship-
ments valued at sixty dollars or over or weighing 100 lbs. or over.
Delivery to syndicate stores was changed in. most cases to be freight al-
lowed on shipments of 50 lbs; or over or thirty dollars new value or over.
Changes During price Filing
Appendix B, Part 9a, is a concise picture of the major changes which
occurred with respect to price. Appendix A, Part 9 shows the number of
filings mace, their content, the use of the waiting period ant the evolu-
tion of delivery and payment terms. 3ut, due to the many vague 'and in-
complete filings made, plus the difficulty of comparing products, it is
rather confusing from the standpoint of determining overall changes.
Therefore, to sum up the major change during price filing, i.e. price re-
duction, it is suggested that Appendix S, Part 9a be consulted. "Thile
this study covers only fifteen companies, it embodies all of the material
and essential changes which occurred.
In examining this evidence, it -ill be noted that few filings occurred
during the months of January and February of 1934, but that most of the
filings recorded reduced prices by reducing the list price. In March,
1934 more numerous filings rrere made and two companies, ITos. 3 and 8, re-
vised practically their entire line downward. On April 2, 1934 came the
9822
-127-
nost drastic occurefice of the sntir< price filing experience. Company
No. 5 made a substantial reduction in price by changing to a net basis,
the reduction amounting to about 2rfo. Practically every company followed1
C lany No, 5 "ithin the ten day waiting period and as a revult, the gen-
eral price level in comparison to Hie original • as reduced about 25;o.
After this drastic reduction, filings becane a matter of sniping at
a fen items rather than a general reduction of the entire line of any
company. Only about six initiating revisions reducing an entire line
occur after April second. This gradual whittling of prices resulted in
an avera e reduction of an additional 10$ between the last of April and
the close of price filin ;•
Prom the standpoint of accuracy, ..the filings made, after April are
of questionable value, because the group became discouraged, and the degree
of co:ipliance "as reduced until in the latter months of the price filing
experience it is quite probable that little or no attention vas paid to
filed prices.
The reason for the drastic price change of April 2 does not appear
in the record, i '.embers of the industry allege that it was actually due
to open price filing, because open price filing revealed the arices quoted
by the large manufacturers. As a result the smaller manufacturers, espec-
ially the medium sized, ones, cut under in an effort to secure volume out-
lets, especially- chain store distribution. The April 2 filing was just
such a bid for chain store trade.
They allege further and the record bears the i out to some extent,
that after April. 2, the large companies and some others determined, that
the chain store business T'aa unprofitable at such prices and they there-
fore c Leir attention to other markets, leaving; those companies
-ho 1 ad cut prices, and obtained, the chain store business, <~ith those
ace or: 1 1 3 .
■ 'The Industry .believes further, probably correctly, that the reduction
in price to secure chain store business resulted, in the reduction of the
entire price level. In this connection, note that dating from April 2,
many companies quote net prices to all buyers, giving ur any attempt to
attract any special customer class by preferential discount.
After April 2, keen competition occurred between manufacturers in
endeavoring to secure Class J business, replacing the less attractive
chain store business. Since s. Class J customer "ould ordinarily provide
a i'ood steady volume of business, it appears reasonable that efforts
should be made to secure accounts in that class. In connection with the
definition of Class J customers, it should, be noted, that although he is
define" ac one -mrchasing standard catalogue devices, most of the filings
list 3 vi es from a special catalogue. Under packaging Class J customers
are usually quoted, per thousand, bulk packing, and in some cases, per ten
thousand. It is also quite probable that many of the Class J sockets are
made to customer specification and therefore carry special prices.
gaiting Period
In spite of the fact that it is extremely difficult accurately to
9S22
-120-
convoare products, many coincidental revisions were made. In fact, the
majority of filings were to meet the price competition of some other
company.
The spread of an initiating revision in this group is quite
interesting. To illustrate: let us take five hypothetical companies,
a, b, c, d, and e of which a and b are very close competitively, but
b is also a competitor of e, and a is a competitor of d, with c compet-
ing with e. Thus, Company c, which is directly competitive only with
Company e, by reducing its prices, transmits an impulse through e to b,
to a, and then to d. As a result, a and b have made revisions because
of c, with whom they seldom, if ever compete.
In making a coincidental revision it was apparently not necessary
actually to duplicate the filing met b\xt rather to seek the balancing
of competitive positions.
Jts interest in open price filing lagged, due to lack of compliance,
the number of initiating revisions met within the ten day waiting period
gradually decreased.
SUI.S/iAEY
The net result of these changes was as follows:
1. Prices were reduced during the period of price filing about Z5fo.
There was a definite trend toward quoting all products on a net
basis although some companies continued on a list and discount
basis.
2. To a noticeable extent, customer classifications disappeared,
since thirteen companies now quote all buyers. 17ith the tendency
to eliminate customer classification and to quote on a net basis,
discounts also are fewer. Those discounts which remain are
practically unchanged as compared with those originally filed.
3. Terms of payment have become more uniform.
4. Delivery terms have become more uniform and have been amplified
by allowing freight on smaller packages and by qualifying freight
allowances on the basis of value and freight.

I, Robert Edwards, Supervisory Agency of the Installa-

try, appointed in accordance with the provisions of Article XII
of the Code for the Electrical Manufacturing Industry approved
by the President on August 4, 1933, by the Board of Governors of
National Electrical M-nufacturers Association, have, pursuant to
the authority vested in me by Article X of said Code, determined
that it has been the generally recognized practice to sell Wir-
ing Devices on the basis of net price lists, or price lists and
discount sheets, and fixed terms of payment.
However, the filing of price lists or price lists- and
discount sheets, under my call expiring October 6th, has result-
ed in confusion and misunderstanding much to the disadvantage of
the Wiring Devices industry. The immediate necessity, therefore,
of breaking down the list of manufacturers into various subdivi-
sions and the calling for refiling of prices on such wiring de-
vices as naturally fall into these subdivisions is apparent.
I therefore direct that you as a manufacturer of, or
one promoting the manufacture for sale of

TO ALL MANUFACTURERS OF:
SOCKETS ALL TYPES
Gentlemen:
Your attention is directed to the last paragraph of
price call dated November 29, 1933, covering
Sockets all Types.
That portion within brackets reading (which may include dis-
counts to other manufacturers of the products specified above)
means that if the manufacturer files such '•courtesy discounts"
he may quote or sell- at such discounts only to actual manu-
facturers who have filed under the same call, i.e., manufac-
turers of the same product as specified in the call. It is
a distinct violation to extend these courtesy discounts to
any manufacturer other than the above and such discounts must
be filed before any such sales are made.
To l;e more specific, a socket manufacturer is en-
titled to extend courtesy discounts to other .manufacturers of
sockets but may not extend a courtesy discount on sockets to
any other manufacturer even though the latter makes other
wiring devices.
A manufacturer not having filed discounts to other
manufacturers of the same product, must quote or sell only
at discounts filed for other classes of trade.
If courtesy discounts are extended to manufacturers
not entitled to them, such sales will be treated as violations
of Article X of the Code for the Electrical Manufacturing In-
try.

DOld STIC ELECTRIC HEATIITG APPLIAl CE
Development
The Domestic Electric Heating Aopliance industry, as well as the
Domestic Electric Appliance industry, is relatively new. A number of
factors are responsible f ? its growth. Basic, perhaps, is the higher
standard of living. The Public 'Utilities have contributed in no small
measure by introducing promotional current rates and expending increased
efforts to build up domestic load through the sale of aubliances. In -late
rs, the Federal government has assisted through the TVA, Rural Electri-
fication, the Electric Earn 'and Home Authority, and the Federal Housing
Administration,
1 . Problems of Development
This group is primarily of the Electrical industry, but it has drann
■ manufacturers from many other lines. This came about because most of the
products are straight metal stamping jobs ' hich require' merely provisions
for a heating element and a switch, .manufacturers of aluminum '-'are and
others haying available metal stamping equipment have been quick to sense
the opportunity to participate in a new field. This participation, fre-
quently experimental ., .Vas after only to the extent of producing two or three
thousand items subseouently sold at a loss, tut still the ease ^ith. which
producers of other lines can cut across from a standpoint of fabircation
is a real source of difficulty.
The part played by ! the appliance manufacturer has changed considerably.
In the beginning of the industry, his interest was centered almost wholly
on production. But now, package appeal, product design, display and con-
sumer advertising are considerations in noint.
Design
In the matter of design, there is the problem of design piracy and the
difficult problem of maintaining a line of sufficient scope to keen up "ith
fast moving industr?/ product developments „
Product Dunning
A problem also existed due to numerous products ^ith varying seasons
of sale, and the "in and out" aanufacturer who takes a flyer in manufacturing
s ier product and then, discouraged, throws his output on the market, 'do
effort is made, in this dunning of "unnrof itable merchandise, to protect the
prices of competitors by spreading the -orofitless items over a considerable
area. Rather it is found that they "-ill be unloaded in some urban center to
the detriment of nrices of similar products-.
There is also the matter of safety and the requirements of municipal
9822
-134-
i
ordinances. The industry has an ever growing problem in finding some way
to cope rith "unsafe" appliances which are the source of fires and home
accidents and at the sane tine to prevent the establishment of such rigid
municipal ordinances as would handicap development and sale.
Sal es Outlets
The sales: outlets for modern ao.'oliances are very different from those
of the early da~rs of , the industry.. This is due, in a large measure, to
■ several iactors. Firtt, that the original domestic electric heating ap-
•olia-ice»was a very unlovel"- thing at best, hut throtigh changes and improve-
ments in design., finish and general aopearance, it has "become ver-' attract-
ive, aid therefore more easily suscentible for sale through channels in
which sales to consumers 'are accomplished through counter display ad price.
A good example of this is the "Ten cent store."
Second, the development of channels devoted to the sale of low nriced
merchandise offered a -potential volume outlet for lo^er -priced merchandise
than the industry offered. The result, of course, res that cheaper devices
were produced to meet this demand am 6 to take advantage of the new outlet.
To illustrate, when the chain and other drug stores undertook to handle
domestic electric heating appliance, it was necessary that they stock items
Fhich were priced in. the price grouip with nhich the customer associated
drug stores. By this is- meant that since the average item nruchased in a.
drug' . tore is lees than a dollar, the customer r-ould merhans instinctively
be reluctant to undertake the purchase of an apnliance costing five or six
dollars. In ado.ition, the value of smace in such : tores is a.t a preiniun
and it is more -profitable to handle low priced ite ;s since the-- move faster.
Third, the increasing demand by the consumer, coupled v'ith reductions
in current rates, the establishment or promotional rates-, aid the sales
programs of utilities, causecl 6e-oa.rtmeit stores to become interestec" in the
possible business. True enough, department stores had handled appliances
previously but had not e mhasized them.
Price Comparison
It is extre. :el" difficult to compare the product' of individual maiu-
•facturers. First, because while some manufacture man1/ types of 'product,
others produce but one or two. However the sales of those one or t--'o items
may be equal to or grea.ter than the sales of similar items by a compan"" -'ith
extern: ive lines.
Members of . the Industry
About 175 companies ranging from very snail to ouite large and located
in- the eastern and north central areas,
B. Price Call — Exhibit a
The mrice call was issued under date of December 19, 1P33 , to be effect-
ive December 30, 1933, aid directed to in exce::s of 175 manufacturers, Com-
iDarativel" little '"as kno^n- concerning the actuail number of manufacturers,
"hat the" manufactured and hoi- they sold, manufacturers made original filings
9822
-135-
as late as December of 19S4. The majority, however, complied by the letter
rt of Jriuary, 193o.
Work Sheets
In studying this group, clue to the number of companies and the type of
product, the price filings were exceedingly voluminous, and it became re-
quisite that the study be made of representative companies, products and situ-
ation. For this reason, the study embodies information taken from the fil-
of fifty-eight of the one hundred seventh-three companies. They, it is
believed, fairly illustrate the entire group.'
The work sheets and materials are as follows:
la Appendix A Part 10.
Chronological record' of price filings by companies.
Appendix A Part 10a.
Price changes on electric toasters.
2. Appendix B Part 10.
Original and final or ice structure.
Appendix B Part 10a.
Lowest and highest prices by companies for
electric hand irons.
In the first column of sheet covering original. and final price struct-
ure in additional to inducating the" company and the effective date of its
iriginal filing, a key has been given as to tlie line of products manufactured
by each company. Bir reference to the chronological record of price filings
by companies, page 2, a list of )roducts <-ith their key letters rill be found.
C. Original price structure - Appendix B Part 10
Pricing List prices &xe cuoted on most items by some companies although
the saie company may also juote net prices on certain items. Other companies
quote net prices on the entire line and still otherr- quote net prices and
have small functional discounts for some customer classes, while other class-
es are cuoted net.
Customer Classification and Discount.
Consider no1"' the work sheet 'Trade classifications and discounts'
Appendix B Part 10.
Practically all companies manufacturing more than one or two types of
product quote to the first customer class 'Dealers and Retailers' a Companies
manufacturing one or t-'O products, in many cases, fail to quote.
Although there are ten types under this customer class, no company quotes
to more than three. Discounts quoted vary from zero (net price) to 55$ off,
list with intermediate steps of 25$, 35)i, 35^ and 5$, 40,; and 10$, 40$-10$~
5;a, etc.
Variance in Discount
This same variance in amount b'f discount 'ill be found in all of the six
9822
-136-
general customer classes. These classes are:
1. Dealers or Retailors.
2. "Iholesalers.
3„ J^M-go Buyers,
'j--. Quantity discount only, Maximum discount or minimum net.
5, Central stations, power eonpani.es and utilities.
S. manufacturers agents.
T7holer. alers
Wholesalers in most cp.ses ,■ re ruoted slightly larger dii counts nd
lorer net prices than dealers and retailers.
Large Buyers
"Large Buyers" are given discounts "hich are eouivalent to, and in
some cases, slightly less than these offered wholesalers. Also companies
who did quote dealers and/.or ^hole-i alers , do' not quote large buyers.
Quantity and 1 aximuia Discounts
a further classification covers those ' companies Quoting quantity
only or maximum discounts or minimum net. In mo:- t cases , this is a net.
Central Station, and the like, are emoted di' counts which vary from par
with dealers and retailers to in excess of those oioted large buyers,
manufacturers' Ageiitr
": anufacturers ' Agent! " , are ouoted discounts by a few companies
generally on a oar with the highest discount to any other customer cla.ss,
miscellaneous: Allowance
"Miscellaneous Allowances" nre a source of much difficulty pji& con-
fusion. In comparing the trices or c iscounts of individual companies, it
is of the utmost uroortance that the record be checked for morsible special
discounts. T-noical or these special discounts or charges are:
1. 10:/o allowance for advertising anc sales-promotion r-ork.
2. 25 to 50 heaters - 5, advertising allowance.
3. Prices subject to extra IC70.
Terms of Payment.
Terms were usually 2$, 10 days, net 30, but many variations occurred
with some companies quoting as high as 2, , 10 days, 90 days net and others
offering no discount for cash.
Delivery Terms.
Deliver1/ terms were usually f.o.b Factory but with deviations and
exceptions as, f.o.b. destination 100 lbs., f.o.b. i ctronolitan "few York
9822
-1. 7-
f.o.b, warehouse, Freight prepaid IOC lbs. and over.
Lack of Uniformity,
Probably the most outstanding characteristic of these first filings
is the difference and dissimilarity between the f ilin ;■ of individual
manufacturers. This is accountable -on the ground of difference in types of
product manufactured, design and quality plus "a relatively large number
of manufacturers.
D. Pinal Pilings. — Corroarison with Original
The 'Final Tilings' are ; o termed rather than 'Final Structure1
because the situation was not one of regul.-r form or design.
Comparing the final filing: vith the original, the trade classi-
fications have remained the same as have the discounts quoted. In some
groups, as for instance, "Large Buyers", there has "been some shifting
as to the type of the outlet cuotecl, Liany companies because of having
made only one filing retain their position as of the original filing.
It is quite interesting that the smaller companies, in many ca es , in
the final filings ouote more often than originally to wholesalers and
large buyers.
Growth of i iscellaneor.s iillov:ances
In the original filing", nine companies ouoted specific special
allowances. In the latest filings some twenty-five quote such allow-
ances. This development is probably one of the most significant and
indicates that due to the confusion which existed, manufacturers felt
that these odd discounts had to be set up to xrovide flexibility in each
case • ithout the necessity making revision of existing filings. In
actual practice, it probably rorked out that these specials became regu-
lar discounts.
Terms of Payment and Delivery
In the area of terms of payment and delivery, the same general r:it-
uation prevailed with an increase in the number of miscellaneous elements
which were optional for standard or customary r>ra„ctice.
5. Lo"ert gxd Highest Prices — PI ectric Fie at in ~ Irons
Considering the - ork sheet entitled "lowest and Highest Price':,
Electric Heating Irons", (Appendix B Part 10a) and comparing the list
prices end discounts under the original filings "ith those -of the latest
filings, it -ill be seen that although the items selected for each com-
pany --ere as nearly comparable as "oossible, reat differences in price
and discount emerge,
1, Prices - Original Filings
In the original filings., irons are listed from about $1.50 to $3. 95
"ith fairly regular gradation between. After considering the discounts
9822
-138-
and net prices quoted on the specimen irons, the difficulty of comparing
products becomes evident. It • ill be found that one iron list? at $1.50
with a net of $1.60, another iists at $1.47 i ith a dif count of 10$. Also
one iron listed at $3.25 with a discount of 50, j, another listed at $3.50
with a discount of 50;s to most customers snd a net of $.75, to one pur-
chaser. Another iron listed at $3.50 is quoted down to $1.80 less 5$,
and to another customer class at $3,50 less 40c/o-10$j-5fi, TVo different
corapanieslist irons at $7.95, one cuoting a net of $3.93, 'and the other
$3.60 less 5fj, including a one collar trade-in-allowance.
2. Prices - Final l-'ilings
In examining the latest filing;, it 'as found, that certain of the
items originally selected as typical specimens had "been eliminated and
others had been reviser as to construction, design, etc. So that in add-
ition to changes in price, certain irons "'ere cheapened in construction
or finish, while others were eliminated from the line and remlaeed by-
less costly products.
Irons nor list from $.60 to $8.95 with very fe™ being listed above
$5.00 and the majority below $3.50. This situation is a further indica-
tion of the fact that the lev outlets have created a very considerable de-
mand, for price merchandise. There are, however, instances of increased net
prices, and prices which have remained the same, found usually in the high-
er priced .merchandise, produced by old. line houses and subjected to nation-
al advertising. Other conroanies , in on attempt to preserve previous list
prices and classification die counts, quote additonal allowances which affect
the net price from 5fo to 15fo.
This work sheet illustrates, in so e measure, the activity which occur-
red', in the low orice field with the possible effect of seriously impairing
the sales volume of the higher -oriced quality items.
3. Price Chancer on Electric Toasters (A'opendix A Fart 10a)
In line with comments on orice changes, refer to Appendix a Part 10a.
This study serves to illustrate not only price variations with respect to
specific items, but also the possibility of obscuring filed urices by the
re-arrangement of catalogue nmebers and symbols.. Notice also the drastic
reductions made in items vhich are to be eliminated or closed out.
P. Chronological Record of Price Filings by Companies
In order to examine specific filings and changes between the original,
and. later filings , refer to Appendix A Part 10, Chronological Price Filings
by Companies. In compiling this record, fourteen companies were used, they
being illustrative of tine entire group. The number of filings made varies
from tr,enty-rfive or thirty for large companies to four or five for very small.
Waiting Period
The ' aiting period was used quite often, the Supervisory Agency requir-
ing ten clays excent under exceptional circumstances. Due to the fact that
there is little or no comparison possible between products, initiating re-
vi' ions were not met within the ten day waiting oeriod. except in one or twm

c .
meeting Competition
At this point, it is orobably '-ell to discuss the difficulty in deter-
mining in this groun -hen a filing net con-oetition. It is relatively simple
letter where a fe1" store ardized products are to be considered , but in the
Domestic Electric Heating Appliance Groun, '"here, as in one case, a manu-
facturer ouotes -ormces on nineteen types of percolators , it is exceedingly
.if fi cult to decide when or when not products are competitively comparable.
Tor instaxe, a toaster is sold by i .anuf acturer A at $2.00. Manufacturer B
sells a toaster for $1.50. A reduces his toaster $.10 B wishes 'also to re-
duce his toa- ter $.10 on the groundthat the two products compete. In the
broad sense, it is true that they co compete, but ti>o carry the thought fur-
ther, a toaster competes for the consumer's dollar • ■ ith the percolator, the
ironing joard, shoes and a.rroles. Obviously, if a line is to be drawn, it
must be an arbitrary one. Further more should the manufacturer be permitted
to reduce his toaster $.10 then he is not perhaps meeting the -orice of Lianu-
facturer A in the strictei t sense. But if it is suggested that he reduce his
■orice only 5;.o, he may object on the ground1 that there ha.s always been a
difference of $.50 in the -orice of his toaster and that of manufacturer A.
This illustration can, of course, be enlarged to include the case of the
manufacturer '.-ho reduces one percolator and his competitor who wishes to
meet this reduction by reducing a percolator which is comparable and then
or a dozen others in addition, on the ground that he has to maintain set
-orice differentials in order to move his entire line. Theso are merely ad-
ministrative questions which did arise during the price filing era.
Increasing Lines .
One very interesting feature of the Chronological Record of Price Filings
is the constantly recurring situation where a manufacturer files nrices on a
product in the Domestic Electric Heating Apoliance Group which he has not
previously manufactured. There is little or no evidence of an increasing
number of outside manufacturers entering the Industry during the code period
but there is a strong indication that manufacturers already in the Industry
did materially increase the scope of their operations from the standpoint of
number of products. This may or may not be traceable in an1' degree to the
open price filing system. It n?y be that -ith business at a low ebb, manu-
facturers were looking about for means to better their condition and there-
fore would have hit uoon the extension of line regardless of open price
filing.
Summary;
1. Certain natural characteristics of the groum apparently resulted
in confusion. Some of the characteristics which seemed to cause
the most difficulty were:
1. Lack of standardized products.
2. Numerous products and adaptations.
3. Liany product ouality levels not clearly defined,
4. Product Design.
5. Numerous manufacturers many of them relatively new in the
Industry.
Ft'
5, There was a decided increase in the number of '-nrica1 items.

3. I/ell known and. nationally advertized products of old line com-
panies did not lower materially in price.
4. Customer classes and functional discounts did not change sub-
stantially but special allowances and discounts increased- in
number end effect with the result thatmost 'Trices orobably were
lower ft the close of price filing than at the beginning.
5. Manufacturers in the general field of domestic electrical
appliances a'J 'err to have extended their product lines to in-
clude items not previously manufactured by them.
6. The -orice filing experience ,vas a. means of compiling a record
of the number 'of members in the Industry, their oroducts and
methods of selling.

■ CHAPTER 12
JOOD SERVICE EQUIPMENT
A. The Industry
1. Product
Description
The products of the Pood Service Equipment group include all elec-
trically operated or heated counter appliances, hake ovens, dish wash-
ers, neat choppers, coffee mills, potato peelers, drink misers, slicers,
silver burnishers, and other similar appliances.
The problems of this group '/ere not particularly -jell known at the
tine of the price call, for a number of reasons, of which the follow-
ing are illustrative:
1. llumber of manufacturers unknown.
2. The products manufactured oy each unknown.
3. Method of selling undefined.
Materials
Materials used in fabrication of products of this group include
iron and steel castings, die castings, molded plastics, knives, saws,
formed steel and iron parts, electrical motors and control equipment.
Variations
Included in this stud;^ are twenty-three separate and distinct
products plus numerous special and almost custom-built items. The
various pieces of equipment vary from small store size to large com-
mercial units. Equipment produced o^ individual companies will vary
as to size, appearance, construction, motor, amount of work done and
type of work done.
2. Companies
"umber
Forty-two companies filed prices.
Size
Companies vary from very small with one or two employees to large
manufacturers maintaining substantial payrolls.
Other Products
host of the members of the Industry confine themselves to the
9322
-143-
lanuf cture of food service equipment ; out about tne manufacture other
allied products! Sone fern operate generally in the Electric?!
I 1 ".ustry.
Location
The majority of the companies are located in the E- stern indus-
trial r.rer and in the Chicago and Detroit metropolitan areas, one in
Tor ' i one in Louisville.
The products of this grouo \re used in hotels and commercial es-
tablishments rnd other enterprises "here food is prepared in large
volume.
Distribution
Distribution is made -direct to user arid by means of distributors,
chains, dealers and equipment houses. The -oroducts ere distributed
• ?.tionall3r.
Freight
Dae to the weight and bulk of some of the eouipment, freight
1? - be an iiroortant item, though the high unit value usually renders
it not significant.
4. Omen Price Piling.
Price Call
Realizing the lack of information concerning those properlv with-
in the jroup, the Supervisory Agent had, on Feoruary 21, 1934, addressed
a letter to all manufacturers who might be properly included, ashing
the i to supply a list of their oroducts and other data which would be
helpful in composing the price call.
The -orice call based on the first paragraph of Article X of the
Code of fir conroetition for the Electrical Manufacturing Industry and.
issued ilarch 30, 1934, effective April 10, 1934, was addressed to more
than forty-five manufacturers. (S::hibit A)
Si:: exemptions for special transactions', such as rules for ex-
port, were made in the price call. Attention is called to these ex-
ecutions in the light of confusion in some of the other groups, and the
suggestion concerning the elimination of particular -oroducts and types
of transactions from the scome of orice calls.
TJork Sheets
Due to the diversity of products, lack of descriptive material, and
the vague and incomplete filings made, work sheets were not set up for
9822
-144-
all -products included. To illustrate the diversity of products, there
is included (Exhibit 2) ? list of products -ith an identifying symbol.
a list of the -Troducts manufactured by erch corco^n^, and a suivmary of
the nun.ier of companies producing each of the uroducts. Of the tT7enty-
one products, sixteen .are manufactured "by four companies or less,
usuall"/ less. Sir:teen comp-iiies made different tyoes of neat cho-omers,
fourteen co:r-anies different coffee mills, eleven como-ries made meat
slicing machines, rhile nine companies made some proouct or products
apparently not manufactured by any other company.
'.'or.1- sheets v/ere made shoeing customer classifications, discounts,
trade in allowances , deferred patient plans, delivery and terms of pay-
ment. (Appendix 3, Part II) In additions, these sheets include prices
for the lowest priced itens aid the highest priced items of a given pro-
duct n-'uif-ctured "ay each company.
liany of the companies made o;,.h/ one, tuo or three filings, so that
in many instances the entire record of a particular company is set out
on the '.rork sheets descrioed above. In an effort to simplify the com-
plexity resulting from the number of products, separate -Torh sheets of
the t-npe described r/ere made for meat choosers, -ootato and vegetable
peelers, silver burnishers, coffee mills and meat slicing machines.
It was not considered necessary to m°ke v.'ork sheets for all types
of products, since the five named illustrate the tyoe of industry and
its ^activities under the open price filing system. Each -oroducer tends
to sell his various products according to much the same arice pa.ttern.
A second study v.ts made in the form of a chronological -ecord of price
filings by com-oanies. (Annendix A, Part 11) This includes only the
records of those companies Tvho made more than tmo filings.
B. Bas i c S t rue tur e
1. Oriainfl r-.qd Final Strop ture •
In this Industry, a price structure exists in name only. The
structural pattern for each company is similar but not identical. The
tyoe of structure might be illustrated by the fact that all people
a"e constructed of the same number- of parts but that these parts vary.
Normally all meople aave hands, but of different shape, size and dex-
terity, rll have eyes, but of different size, color, shape and use-
fulness.
Price
In the matter of price, some manufacturers quote list trices,
others quote net -orices, some ruote on a. combination of both, and
some even quote net trices on specific t-~oes of a particular item a'ith
list orices on other tyoes, and others cuote net prices to certain
customer; classes and list to other classes.
Practically all companies have list arices but often bhe price to
a given customer is not exoressed as by a discount from list but merely
9322
-145-
a net 'rice, r-hich is loner than the list.
As mi lit be expected under 'the conditions of mroduct differences,
the of list orices varies considerably in amount. For neat
raers, the lorrest -price is ninet" dollars and the highest price is
hundred dollars. Similar differents in list are found in
jci ' 1 ' ith other products. There are a fe-.r cases of two or more
co it lies ruotir.v similar lists, hut the oroduct in each case varies
beriall", ~s do the discounts.
As jetveen the original and final filings, no definite "orice
:;;e occurred, out modifications of product aid the dropping of old
lines and adding n&r. caused different list prices to appear. It is
not nossible to determine whether these lrter -orices v;ere hi her or
lower than the original;
Discounts aid Customer Classif i-cations_
The: e are tiro general types of customer class.
1. -Users <
2. Distributors:
Users are described by various commies- as follows:
1. Users
Government agencies, other than federal
5. United States government
4. Institutions
5. Paching houses
Distributors are descrioed ?s :
1. Distrioutors
2. Chains
3. Dealers
4. Quantity buvers
5. Johhers
Z, Various types of supply and equipment houses
7. Manufacturers' agents
I .e sam.e list prices are usually employed as the oasis of quota-
tions to all tyoes of customer class out there is apparently no channel
"" lich is most favored in every ca.se. -Some companies cuote preferential
prices to chains, others to johhers, dealers or distrioutors. However,
the distributor groups is usually quoted more favorably than the user
group.
There was no uniformity rs to the number of customer classes quoted
by individual commrnies. Some companies apparently specialized in sell-
in- to eouroaent houses, others to distributors, still others to chains.
The errjosure of the channels of distribution of their competitors appar-
ently did not cause manufacturers to increase the number of channels
9322
no
-146--
through which they quote:.
Corroaring list prices and discounts, it is seen that there is
constant rela.tionshi\-> between the t'-o. For example, one manufacturer
with a list -orice- of one hundred and fifty dollars has a discount of
60^, while another with a list price of one. hundred and fort3r~f ive
dollars has a discount of 25,j. Any further comarison of list prices
and discounts rill provide i.mu.ierablo illustrations of the lack of
relationship jetween size of list and siz.e of discount.
During price filing it appears for the record that prices changed
very little. This conclusion cannot be stated with certalnt3r for the
reason that the nrice filings gave such an inadequate uicture. Having
in mind the disorganized character of the filings, and in vie1' of the
fact that little or no change is ndted in connection with items on
which comnlete filings were originally made, it is "orobable that the
final filings represent nore adequately the "ay the group did business
than do the original filings.
Freight Terms*
During the period of open arice filing, at !e?„st twenty-eight
varying sets of delivery terns were used (see list in A-oaendix E, Part
ll). These terns varied from a sirrole statement, such as FOI factor-'-,
to delivered "orices on e zone basis. ITo trend toward simplification
or uniformity is evident.
Credit Terms
The average aa-anent tens v;ere 2;c, 10 Days, net 30 days, or some
approximation thereof. Ho"ever, man3r divergent and varying terms oc-
curred such as 5y, 30 dr.ys; 10;1 cash; 5y for cash on large machines
and ?Jo for cash on snail machines. Here again there was no tendency
toward uniformity.
About 30^ of the Industry filed deferred payment plans, no t^o
bein;; alike, nor was there any tendency toward uniformity during '
open price filing.
Credit terms were ustially, for a given com'oan;", the sa.ie for all
nroducts. The changes and time allovred on deferred payments related
to the cost of the equipment and varied so as to afford the purchaser
of the nore costly items an owmortunity to pay over a longer ;oeriod
of time.
Trade Allowances
About one-third of the com-oanies filed infor irtion -oertaining to
trade-in allowances, usually in connection '.7ith the trade-in value of
specified eouipnent as credit against eurchase of a given item. It
is auite probable that everyone in the industry made trade-in allov;-
ances but that the Supervisory Agenc?/ did not insist that they file
data in view of the difficulties of enforcement.

r . Chronological P^cord of Price gj lings by Co -ronnies (Amendix A ,
Pert 11)
"i*o e" oi" *?ili:igs
pewer filings per company were rjp.de in this grout) than in any-
other, the Average being two, with many co r^nies mailing only one
filing. Pour filings was the maximum number made by any company.
*. . iting Period
After the original filing, practically ever"/ filing was given a
ten lay treating period. i"o filings were made to meet competition
within a ten day waiting period.
Porm rnd Content
The forri of the filings in the raajorit}' of crses was exceedingly
poor. The filings were made' on little scraps of paper, business cards,
and booklets. They contained little or no descriptive material, no
adequate customer definitions, and only the vaguest statements with re-
ard to trade-in allowances, deferred payment plans, discounts, etc.
Summat i on
iree things apparently accrued to the Pood Service Equipment
group during o-oen price filing, in that information was gained as
to:
1. Fumber of manufacturers
2. Products manufactured by each
G. Channels of distribution employed
Conclusion
It would appear from the experience oi this sroup that open
price filing is one method of obtaining registration for an Indus-
try. As to whether any trends in actual prices would have occurred
under longer experience is merely an interesting conjecture.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the necessit;r for making
accurate, complete filings. It is possible that in this group if the
experience had been longer, members of the Industry would have be-
come educated to do so. But the records as they stand in many cases
are practically useless.
The ratner c-?"eless handling of trade-in allowances in this
group necessitates pointing out that regardless of the efficiency
of administration or the decree of cooperation on the part of in-
dividual members, so far as price is concerned, the failure to cover
the matter of trade-in allowances nullifies any value, statistical
or otherwise, that night be obtained from price filing.
The group is clearly one in which:
9322
143-
(a) products Qannot be defined because of quality and
design variations,
(b) Corroetition lies in the field of nroduct cuality and
skillful selling pp/tlier than in orice variation.
(c) A large ironor^ion of the sale3 are nade in terms of
single units to purchasers not continual!-/ in the market,
(d) The, group does not consist of actve conoetitors as
such, but firms vhich split up intp nan:'' small, overlapping, coime};-
ing jrouos according to oroduct, each not concerned "ith the behavior
of other snail grouos -oroducing other products of £ood service eouio-
ment.
In other "ords, the groiro vas by no me-ns a fertile field "q-r orice
filing, "[.liile there t.-~s, "oarh-ns, benefit f ron the sough filing, it
is difficult to discover any value in the continuing procedure beyond
the i-ifornption orpvided in the initial filing, p^rtainly there uas
no evi-'ent effect in the price structure frpm trice filing.

LAMINATED PHENOLIC PRODUCTS
A. The Industry
The Laminated Phenolics Products Group is made ud of 13 manufacturers
of the primal product together with about 40 "fabricators" of' the 'material.
1. The Froduct -" '
Laninated phenolic compounds have becn developed since about 1910,
but the greatest progress has been in the past 10 years. They are an
outgrowth of the vulcanized fiber industry.
This material, often referred to as bakelite, is standardized as to
nomenclature, size, and form and is more or less uniform in comnosition
from company to company.
Pehnol prodacts were widely used by the electrical industry as an
insulating material and this use- has constantly increased. :• The l^rge
electrical companies began its manufacture probably for use "in their
products bat the great .increase in .'demand for the material .'in other in-
dustries ooened -new markets wherein "the material was used because of its
appearance and physical properties rather than electrical properties.
Wider uses are constantly being found in machine construction as' well as
decorative fields but it is probable- that the electrical industry utilizes-
a large portion of the production.
It falls naturally into .four product groups, each being a different
manuf actar-d form or shapc, having its o-jim quantity discounts. The four
types are briefly described as follows:
Sheets - Laminated phenolic sheets are olips of paper, cloth or
other fibre sheets impregnated with a phenolic varnish or compound and
bonded together under heat and pressure. The thickness of the sheet
is regulated by the number of plies ^.nd the oressure applied. The
standard maximum size sheet available is about 38" square and ranging from
1/64" to 3 or 4" in thickness. Since washers, blocks and all flat shapes
are cut fron sheets they are probably made in greater volume than any of
the other shapes,
Washers and Discs
Washers are partially fabricated oarts cut from sheets material and
are sold at a net price per 100 or per each rather than on a pound basis,
but the actual weight of the scrap .i'S figured in the price. Thus the
customer purchasing a washer 3" in diameter actually pays for a 3" square
of material plus a machining charge. In the case of large rings cut
from canvas or linen base material used in the manufacture of ring gears,
etc., the customer is allowed about 50$ of .the net value of the discs cut
from the center. The weight of the scrap which amounts to about 1/4
of the total weight is eliminated in transportation.
i
9822
-154-
Tubing
Tubing is made by wrapping_impregnated plies around a core or
mandrel and molding under heat and pressure as in the case of sheet
material. The maximum length made is about 48", This is usually sold
by the foot or cut up in specified lengths with machining charges added.
Round tubing is standard but tubes of other shapes are made on special
order at extra charge.
Reds
Rods are made from impregnated plies rolled and then molded as in
the case of the other forms. The maximum length made is about 48 rt.
Rods are als:> sold by the foot,
2, Members of the Industry
Fabricators
The exact definition of a fabricator as used in the industry is not
available although the term implies one who forms, makes or manufactures
the material into finished or semi-finished parts. In quoting special
discounts to fabricators, only Company #33, defined the term in detail
to mean cne who maintains an adequate stock cf material, a.nd furnishes
delivery, selling, and catalogue service together with the extension of
credit to his buyers. It is apparently not necessary that he fabricate
the material.
i' That some fabricators are merely distributors is further indicated
by the fact that it was the universal practice, during the period of the
price call, for fabricators to file the price sheets of the company
whose materials they sold. The only alteration made was the stamping of
the fabricator's name on the filing. Fabricators' filings were usually
made some time after the effective date of the similar manufacturer's
filing, and in many cases they would file two or more previous filings
of the manufacturer bringing their filings up to date. Since these
fabricators filed prices identical to those of -the primal manufacturers,
they will be covered in the general discussion,
■Employment
It is not possible to estimate accurately the number of processing
employees engaged in the manufacture of this material as most of the
plants are also engaged in the manufacture ef vulcanized fibre and other
affiliated products. However, it is likely that most of the plants em-
ploy normally from 250 to 500 processing employees.
Location of Plants
The manufacturing plants, for the most part, are located along the
Northeaster!; Seaboard with slightly more than one half of the number be-
ing located in Delaware and Pennsylvania and one each in Ohio and Illinois.
The plants of the fabricators are located in the industrial centers and
9822
-155-
in the major cities on the west coast.
Activity
Since the products of ishisgroup are principally used as raw material
in the electrical and other manufacturing industries, the group's
activity was probably affected by the inactivity of manufacturing as a
whole. This decrease in the volume may have been partly compensated for
by increased use of its product in the past few years in construction and
decorative fields. Sales in these two markets were not covered under the
price call but effects were no doubt felt.
Markets
Sale of the products of this group, as covered by the price call,
is principally confined to man or' act tiring centers since it is used largely
as a raw material in the manufacture of other products. The greatest
market is in the North central and Northeastern sections of. the United
States,
Sales are more dependent on engineering specification and introduction
in new. fields than on design and appearance,
3, Scope of the Study
D Due to the fact that filings were basically simple and few in number
a chart was made showing all important filings of the 13 manufacturing
companies on the 4 types of material. This is entitled "Comparison of
Discounts," (Appendix B, Part 12, Section a). The Chronological Record
of Price Pilings covers the filings cf 33 companies out of the total of
57 companies who filed pricesc (Appendix A, Part 12 Section a.) A
number of fabricators were included in order that any effect of their
filings -might be studied. Copies were also made of instructions for
calculating prices on specialties and instructions for quoting on
government bids (Appendix A, Fart 12, Section b).
4. The Price Call - Exhibit A
The. price c^ll was based on the first paragraph of Article X of the
code and became effective, September 28, 1933", • and was terminated by the
Schecter decision.
Members of the Industry
There are three types of members in the laminated phenolic- group,
the large electrical company whose production of this product is partly
for its own use, the vulcanized fibre and phenolic fibre manufacturer
and thn fabricator or agent of either of the above.
As an example of the problems of this group, the first two types
are fabricator, due to lower overhead, is able to handly small orders
more profitably than the larger companies. Pue to keen competition
there was a greater tendency to take any business available regardless of
the size of the order with a re-salt of price being cut by the fabricator
£ E 22
9322
-156-
to maintain his position.
Price Structure.
The basis of price of all unfabricated forms is a list -orice per
pound on various size ranges of all of the forms of material. There are
two list prices on each range, one on material within NEMA Standards
Limits, the other on "close" limits of thickness or other dimensions.
The, grades of material are quoted in two groups in the case of sheet
material, the first "being grades D and UF and the second all other
grades. Discounts are quoted per pound for sheets, per foot for rods
and tubes, and per each or per hundred for washers, discs and gear
blanks. Specialties, when quoted on request, are quoted per each or
on a weight basis as requested or may be calculated in most cases by-
following pricing instructions.
The system of list orices for various shapes is briefly outlined
as follows:
Rods
List prices quoted on 27 sizes. Intermediate sizes. Intermediate
sizes at price of next larger diameter. The list applies to all grades.
Tube s_
List prices quoted on 1500 sizes of tubing and applied to all grades, -
It is interesting to note that considering all combinations pf quantity,
quality and size there will be a total in excess of 25,OD0 prices on tubing.
Washers
Quotations on washers up to 3 inches in thickness requires 5200
list urices and without considering snecial machining etc, these work
out to over 125,000 net prices in possible combinations as above in
tubing.
Specialties
Net nrices are calculated from the base orice of the material used
according to instructions given in price filings.
Illustration of List Price and Discount
To illustrate the list price and discount structure quotations on
sheets are listed below (also see Appendix A, Part 12, Sertion c) and
although those on other forms of material are stated differently and
list a greater number of items, the general set-up is the same.

It is interesting to note that the list nrices on ^ashers and other
fabricated items. have remained unchanged for many years and in fact are
identical, to. those which have been used for. many years in the Vulcanized
Fiber Industry. There were no changes in these list prices nor in the
list trices on any of the other forms during the period of jirice filing,
(*) NOTE: Generally, fabricators received a discount of 16 2/3$ from
prices calculated; on about list and discount schedule and
income cases. Small discounts and concessions were offered
to certain purchasers as, for example, gear cutters were a
discount of about 5$ from the net and were excluded from
minimum machining charges.

changes in discount, mostly minor, w=>re made by practically all companies.
Specialties arid' "Instructions
In addition to the above list prices and discounts, formulae and
instructions for calculating prices on various shapes and si^es of
material which were not covered in the price list are quoted- These
methods of calculating prices on specialties become rather involved,
but are briefly described as follows:
Strips and Blocks
Conversion tables are furnished which apply to strios and blocks of less
less than inn square inches, and within certain limits of length. These
tables convert the area of the item to an equivalent washer size. The
list price for that washer and the discounts for the quantity and grade
of material are applied. For pieces containing less than inn square
inches and not coming within the range of the conversion table the weight
of the number of pieces required is calculated and multiplied by the list
price per pound of the material required, less the discount which would
apply to that number of washers of the same material. Pieces containing
over ino square inches are figured in' the same way, and a net price
quoted per each. ' ■
Angles and Channels
In calculating prices on angles and ■channels the inside periphery
of two such angles or channel's is added together and divided by pi.
The result is the diameter of an equivalent tube of round section. The
list price for this tabe can be found from the tables and 30;& to cover
special work, cutting etc., is added to this. Since each foot of tubing
will make 2 feet of the angle or channel, one-half of the number of
feet of channel required will be used to find which quantity group the
order will fall in. The discount for this group is then applied giving
a net price for the entire order. This can be divided by the .number of
feet of angle or channel required to give the net price per foot.
Machining Charges
Prices on machine work of various kinds, such as drilling, tapping,
bevelling, etc. were listed on instructions given for calculating the
cost. Roughly, the added cost per machining operation was about 10$ of
the net.
Government Bids
Government bids usually required quotation on a given number ef
square feet and therefore instructions for converting the usual prices
per square foot were given.
Typical Trice Change
Generally a price change would be brought abou^ as follows:
One company would change a discount, another conroany within a few
9822
-159-
days might meet or even "over-shoot" that urice, others would file to
meet one or the other, and eventually after several revisions the
entire industry would end up on a common level only slightly different
from the original. Changes in price or in discounts were not extensive.
In fact in the 'case of the discount on washers each company made as many
as three or four filings to effect a change of not more than 2$ on large
quantities. The intermediate filings gave a greater discount than the
final filings, revisions being made bringing all quotations to the
final level,
B. Price Movements
Washers
Of the four types of material considered more filings concerned
washers than any other,
1st Change
On November 18, 1933, company #10 made a filing quoting 'quantity
discounts on washers. Lots of 10,ooo of X and XF grades had hertofore
been given the maximum discount of 75$, By the terms of this filing the
principle of quantity discount was extended to larger ourchases, so' that
lots of 25,000 to 50,000 were quoted'??^; 50,000 to 100,000 '- 79$;
100,000 to 250,000 - 80$, and over 250,000 - 82$. These quantity dis-
counts applied only to X and XT grades of any thickness and canvas or
linen grades 1/4" less in tiiickness. This filing was met by one company
on November 22nd, one en November 23rd, one on November 29th, two '"■ •
on December 4thr hue on December 5th, two on Di ce'iaber' 6th, one on
December 7th and by the last company on December 13th. It is noted,
however, that the above filings for Companies #8, 30 and 34 are
identical in every respect with the exception of the discount on lots
of 250,000. In this quantity the discount on paper ba.se material is 1$
lower and fabric base material 2$ lower.
This change r°prf3sents added quantity discounts in the large
brackets.
2nd Change
The next change came almost immediately, on December 18th, when two
companies filed a revision of discounts on washers in which lots of
more than 10, QO J ^ere quoted the maximum discount. However, lots of
lp,000 in this filing are 'quot-d a discount as high as the discount
quoted for lots of 100,000 to 250,000 in the filing of November 18th.
Quantities 'less than 10,000 remain unchanged. All but two companies
excepted did not meet it until A"cril 14, 1934, the other company did not
file.
This change drops the one largest quantity discount and extends the
discount of the largest --roup baclr to the original minimum group.
3322
.160-
3rd Change
The lest filing on washer prices became effective on June 5th, for
nine companies. Discounts on lots of less than inn were increased, de-
pending on grade, ranging from 6 to 12$, and on lots of inn to 2nn from
3 to 7$. Discounts on lots of 1,000 to lO.nnn were increased from 1 to
8/o and on lots of 10,ono and over discounts were decreased from 5 to 7$,
This filing compared with the filing of December 18th shows that while
the December filing extended better prices to purchasers of large
quantities the January filing decreased the price to purchasers of small
quantities and increased the orice on large quantities.
In comparing this filing of June 5th with the original filing it is
noted that the original quoted a discount on lots of in,nnn and over
which is 2fo greater than the filing of June 5th, while the June 5th dis-
count on lots of inn is 6fo greater than the original filing. Thus in a
period of 9 months the industry showed a trend toward quoting lower prices
on larger quantities with no change in small quantities, than reversing
and lowering price decidedly on small quantities and returning to about
the previous level on larger quantities.
In very brief summary, the first tendency was to broaden the orice
range, but the final result was to mrrow it, by reducing orice to small
purchasers.
Filings on washers made of Grade S material were first made on
November 19, 1934, by 8 companies and followed during the next month by
4 others. On April 8, 1934, 5 companies again filed on Grade S, and
decreased the discount 3$ on all quantity groups. This filing was
followed by 3 companies during April but the remaining 5 comoanies did
not file.
Sheet Material
Sheets are the most widely used of the four tyoes of materials in
the fabrication of parts, Discounts were quoted 'on lots of less than
50 lbs; 5n to 30n lbs. and over 3nn lbs. Different grades, colors and .
thicknesses may be aggregated in determining quantity discount.
On June 5, 1934, Company #10 revised the discounts on sheet
material. Until this time X and XP grades had been quoted the same
discount and XX and XXX together, were quoted another discount, the X
and XP grades being about 4$ higher than the other two. In this filing
the four grades were combined and the discount quoted for the 4 grades
was lower than had previously bee n quoted for either of the two groups.
This amounted to a discount on XX and XXX grades of 2 or 3$, and on X
and XP of from 5 to 7$, Discounts on canvas grades were lowered from
5 to 6f> and on linen grades from 5 to 8$ in each quantity group. This
filing became effective on June 5th for 7 companies, and was followed
during June by 4 more companies.
During November, Grade S material was brought into the picture at
discounts ranging from 15 to 20$ greater than corresoonding quantity
groups in the other paper base materials. This Grade S material hai been
9822
-161-
introduced to me^t competition of vulcanized fibre manufacturers who coated
fibre sheets with ohenol varnish to simulate laminated Dhenol sheets.
The Grade S sheets were inferior in finish ^nd thickness was not guaranteed
to be as exact as were the better grades of material. During November
and December nearly all of the companies filod on this material at
practically the same discounts.
The next important move in the industry concerned extensive dis-
counts to Fabricators, Company #33 made a filing, effective December
10, 1935, which granted an additional 10$ to Fabricators on Grade S
material! and 16-2/3$ on all other types of material* This discount
represents a 10$ or 16-2/3$ decrease in net orice. Other companies
before this time had quoted 16-2/3$ discount to specific agents or
fabricators. As an example: Company #10 had quoted this discount to
Company #11. a fabricator of its oroducts, on October 45 1933, and other
companies from time to time had made similar moves. The filing of
Company #33 extended this discount to those who fell within its defini-
tion of a Fabricator. This definition is quoted in the description of
a Fabricator in the first part of this analysis. Before this, on June
5, 1934, Company #30 had quoted a discount of 15$ to jobbers on washers
for resale. Apparently this jobber classification is about the same
as a fabricator.
These discounts were brought about by various companies dabbling in
special discounts to specific customers until one of the largest companies
took a definite stand, defined those to whom the discount would apply,
and then quoted a standard discount to those customers. This filing
resulted in four other major companies making a similar filing during
February 1935.
The next and last important filing lowered the discounts on all
quantities of Grade S material about 5$, This was initiated on Apiil
6th by Company #4 and followed by four other companies between that
time and April 22,
Tubing
Discounts were quoted on four quantity groups of tubing, in lots of
up to 50 ft,, 50 to 200 ft., 20D to 500 ft. and over 500.
On January 12, 1934, company #33 quoted discounts on tubing of
Grade S material which were from 3 to 8$ greater than for X and XX
material. This filing was met by Company #5 on March 10, 1934, but no
others quoted at any time.
On June 5th, Company #5 revised discounts on tubing. All discounts
had been quoted an additional 15$, such as 45 plus 15, etc. , and by this
filing the additional 15$ was discontinued by the basic discount remained
the same. Since the basic discounts range from 15$ to as high as 60$,
depending on the grade of material, percent nge of change in price
varies with the type of material, there being a greater reduction in
price on the expensive grades and less redaction on the cheaper grades.
9622
-163-
Company #51 on August 13th quoted a discount of 65 and 15$ on X and
XX tubing up to 2" inside diameter in lots of 2500 ft. and over. This
filing was. met prior to the effective date by 8 other companies, and by
September 1, 1934, by two other companies. The original filing did not
limit the inside diameter of the tubing nor did it specify the cross
section shape, but subsequent minor revisions limited the coverage to
round tubing up to 2" inside diameter. This filing together with two
filings affecting washers ms.de on December 18, 1933, and June 5, 1934,
are the only ones showing a grouo action in which more than 2/3 of the
indvLstry mode fjlings, becoming effective on the same date.
Rods
There were no changes in discounts on rods during the ueriod of
price filing.
Terms and Delivery
Terms of payment and delivery throughout the industry were perfectly
uniform. Terms being thirty days net, no cash discount and delivery as
follows:
Freight allowed on shipments east of the eastern
boundary of Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Arizona. Shipments
west of this line had 5^ added to net Trice and freight
was prepaid. All express and parcel -oost shipments were
f.o.b. factory.
Summary
No basic change occurred in the price structure of the group although
net prices on large quantities were lowered slightly.
It is doubtful that price filing really accomplished much in this
group with the single possible exception of iirice changes being made with
less confusion. With the advent of the price call the industry continued,
with no noticeable change, in the former methods of selling.
Since the products of the various manufacturers are practically
identical in finish, composition and physical properties, there is a
tendency for competition to center on price alone. Considering this it
is remarkable that so few changes in price were made and that such
changes as were made were relatively minor.
Probably a strong stabilizing influence is the fact that two of the
largest producers use a large part of their production in the manufacture
of electrical apparatus. This would give them a distinct advantage in
price competition in that it would tend to sustain production volume at
a higher level than in the case of those manufacturers whose entire
production is for sale.

GENERAL COMMENT OK FIVE GROUPS
IK THE
ELECTRICAL MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
POLS LINE HARDWARE INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
PANEL BOARDS PORTABLE ELECTRICAL TOOLS
NON-RENEWABLE PLUG FUSE
A. Introduction
Seventeen industry sections or groups in the Electrical Industry
were studied in connection with "Open Price Filing." We have so far
in this report reported on twelve of these in detail. Generally speaking,
the remaining five serve to illustrate that situations and conditions
touched uncn arc typical in the industry rather than exceptional. Work
sheets were made on these five groups following the same form as used in
connection with the other twelve.

Section a.' Noii-rencwable Plug Fuse.
C-rcuo Pattern •
Considering these five, we notice first that *ach has its own pecul-
iar structure or design for doing "business and also that members of each
group engage in the manufacture cf other products. Each member conforms
to the pattern of each group of which he is a member. This is a situation
very typical of the Electrical Manufacturing Industry but with exceptions.
For example, in the Portable Electrical Tool Group, several manufacturers
sell the product not in conformity with tne group structure but on the
basis cf the modus operendi of the Fractional Horse Power Motor Group,
Exceptions, however, in almost every case become less divergent under
"Open Price Filing" experience.
9822
-166-
Pricing
In the matter of price, these five groups generally quoted a list
price and discount "but also quoted net price to some customer classes
and on certain products. These list prices remain fairly steady and on
the same list usually applied to all customers.
Customer Classes and Discounts
Discounts arc almost invariably quoted with respect to the poten-
tialities of a. customer as a quantity buyer and with few exceptions may
be divided into two groups, (l) A service differential given to types
of distributor. (2) Discounts quoted to institutions or organizations
where the product is to be used for educational purposes or where the
institution or organization is supported by public contribution.
Discounts are flexible, that is to say, they can be and are changed
often butdt is a rarity for the differentials between customer classes
to be revised so as to realine the competitive position of types of cust-
omer. A typical arrangement is to have a. standard discount for a given
customer class plus a range of additional discounts so that not only do
customer classes aline themselves in accordance with their purported
customer value but within each class there is usually a secondary
alinement which evaluates the customers individually.
There appears to be a tendency toward individual manufacturers
having a particular customer class which they endeavor to keep in a
preferred position and also some tendency toward increasing the number
of customer classes quoted. The definition of customer classes is almost
invariably insufficient. The theory is not advanced that customer classes
can always adequately defined but if open price filing is to be utilized
the degree of success is materially dependent on adequate customer defini-
tion. While on the subject of defining for purposes of identification,
there exists in the records of the open price filing experience of these
five groups as well as in others the necessity for more adequate des-
cription and identification of product.
Price Level
In these five groups as in others examined in the Electrical Industry,
it is questionable whether or not a price level can be determined and whether
determination can be made that prices arc higher or lower than previous
prices. Generally there arc two price levels (l) the level of list prices
and, (2) the level established by fixed functional discounts. But in add-
ition to functional discounts there is usually a pool of additional discount'
which may be drawn upon and applied sometimes the option of the manufacturer,
thus the known level of price may b<* lifted or depressed for any or all
customer classe:
touCg,
-Terms of Payment and Delivery
With respect to terms of payment and delivery, it is quite typical
that in either or both, uniformity will be approached during "open price
filing."
0822
-167-
Unifcrmity
On the general subject of uniformity the go five groups conformed
to a characteristic of the industry in that structurally members of a
group follow each other closely and the general tendency is to increase
the decree of uniformity. Increasing uniformity ordinarily occurs in
either or two ways: (l) through copying an old line company and, (2)
through evolution. This evolution may consist of changing an existing
element of the structure and through a scries of such changes to move
from a situation where individuals vary as to pattern to one wnerein
individuals conform essentially to the developed scheme. Evolution
may also occur through the establishment of a radical factor which must
be taken up by all members of the group to prevent their being closed
out of a market.
lumber of Filings
The number of filings made apparently varies in these five groups
according to the sane formula as in the .industry groups examined previous-
ly. The formula is that the narrower the margin between cost of materials
and final price value by manufacturer and the narrower the margin of
operation, the greater the sensitivity to change and as a result the great-
er the number of filings. . ■■•;■
Waiting Period
The experience -of these five industry groups in the use of the wait-
ing period conforms to that of other groups studied. Generally the waiting
period was not utilized as frequently as was supposed. This, perhaps,
because of several reasons of which difficutly of product comparison,
lack of sensitivity to price change, the problem of what sort of filing
did moot competition, and the necessity in many cases for complete flex-
ibility to meet a present and nressing situation are probably important.
Meeting Competition
It is probably well at this point to touch on the matter of com-
petition and the difficulty of determining, when two products are on a
competitive level and the even m re difficult -oroblem of deciding whether
a structural change or a price change made to "meet competition" is just-
ified and if so, docs the change equalize competitive positions. For example,
in the Non-Renewable Plug Fuse Group, Approved and Non-Approved fuses are
manufactured. There is no question but that the two types of product compete,
but it is equally true that they are not always competitive because, for
instance, Fon-Aoprcved Fuses may be eliminated from a specific case by
building regulations or municipal ordinance. But assuming a transaction
where both types of fuses may be used, how shall the degree of competition
be determined and if it can be determined, should the price or conditions
of sale in connection with either be subject to modification so as to
tablish the two on a competitive level and if this is deemed advisable
and proper, what shall be the rule determining the correct amount or degree
of modification permissible?
9822
-168-
This subject of competition lias been discussed in connection with,
other of the Electrical Manufacturing groups, notably the Domestic Electric-
Heating Appliances, and while the unanswered problem is not fatal to the
device of "open price filing" , it is question which is often met. Thje
Electrical Manufacturing industry appears to have met the problem by out-
wardly ignoring it and the method would seem to have some merit if the
absence of serious controversy is a measure.
Brief Summary of Each of the Group of Eivc.
In the following brief s no pretense is made of covering adequately
the price filing experience of the five industry groups. The object is
to identify the groups and attempt to point out some of the more interest-
ing and. perhaps unusual features of each.
Group 1. Non-renewable Plug Fuses.
The product manufactured by this group is the ordinary "windc-
face" plug fuse used around the home. There are about forty-five manufac-
turers located mainly in the Eastern industrial area.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the sales plan is the
classification of customers. Prices to all customers are quoted on a
net basis with the exception of some special fuses on which list prices
and discounts are quoted to distributors. This list is about twice the
net of other fusos and discounts usually range from 30?o on broken package
quantities to 50 and 5$ on standard package quantities.
In the point of preference given, customer classes range in about
the following crder:
1. .Wholesalers
2. Syndicates and Chains — twenty or more stores
3f United States Government ($300 or more)
4. Extra large buyers (5,000 fuses or more)
5. Large buyers (2,000 fuses or more)
6. Distributors
7. Trade prices
3. Dealers
With the exception of wholesalers, price quotations are based on
standard size, sub-standard size and special size fuses, special sizes
usually carrying a set up charge of about $2.50.
Wholesalers are quoted on a quantity basis on standard and sub-
standard sizes as follows:
3822
-169-
Orders less than $15.00, orders $15.00 tc $-10.00, orders $40.00
or more. On the special sizes wholesalers are quoted a flat net.
Wholesalers in New York arc quoted on standard and sub-standard
sizes on the basis of orders less than $15.00 or more than $15.00.
In the original filing eight companies filed to a class of "all
buyers."
In the final filing customer classifications remained the same ex-
cept that fourteen companies quoted prices to "all buyers."
Ihere is little similarity in price between various companies
and during the price filing experience it is difficult to say whether
or not prices changed, in fact, there is difficulty in coming to any
definite general conclusion, because only twenty-seven companies of the
forty-five made more than one filing' and many of these were vague and.
incomplete.
Jt is interesting that prices to the United States Government
on standard size fuses were below those quoted to any other cuaf-omer
class.
.Although terms of payment were generally 2/o 10 Prox. , net 25th Prox
for all customers, separate quotation was made with reference to each cus-
tomer class.
In tho area of terms of delivery extra large buyers, wholesalers,
syndicates and chains were allowed freight to destination, large buyers
and the "trade" f.o.b. factory or warehouse.
Exceptions to this were that some companies offered the same deliv-
ery terms to all customers varying from f.o.b. factory or warehouse to
freight allowed on the basis of weight or destination.
Free delivery was offered the United States Government by most
compani c s .
Those companies mailing mere than one filing usually, quoted finally
general terms of payment and delivery to all customers: 2fo 10 Prox.,
net 25th or 30th Prox. or 60 days and freight allowed or f.o.b. ware-
house or factory.
2. Portable Electric Tools
Sixty-two companies filed prices ranging from companies quoting
on one -type of product to those quoting on many types. The majority of
the com?ar.ieo are located in the north central section with some i: the
industrial cast.
There was some uniformity of structure throughout. Generally the
structure was about as follows:
9822
-170-
List and discount basis with three main customer classes listed below
in the order of preference given.
1. Stocking distributors — discount about 30$ on tools and service
parts and 40$ on accessories.
2. TTon-s to eking distributors — discount on all items about 15$.
3. Authorizing stocking service stations — discount of 30$ on
service parts only.
The above discounts illustrate the average. Some quantity discounts
and special allowances were quoted, but the effect thereof was not
material until purchases of more than one hundred tools were involved.
Customer classifications with various names appeared for a few
companies but the difference was usually one of terminology. There were
however a few companies that carried over the structure of another
group. One illustration of this has already been given and another
concerns a company that also carried over the fractional horesepower
motor plan. This company quoted on bench grinders only. It will be
recalled that in the motor group customers were classed on the basis
of motors purchased. It would not be reasonable for a purchaser to buy
bench grinders in the quantities specified for many of the customer
classifications of the motor sales plan, so it amy be presumed that for
this company discounts offered to purchasers of bench grinders were based
on the number of fractional horsepower motors purchased by that customer
and the classification given him in the purchase of fractional horse-
power motors.
3. Panelboards
In this group there were about seventy manufacturers of which
more than 50 made only one or two filings and only about twelve made a
sufficent number of filings to give continuity to the record.
The product in this case is quite interesting. A panel board
for a given installation is usually made up of a number of items for
which prices are the same for all companies. "However, each company
may recommend to the purchaser 6ome change in the proposed panel which
will reduce the price, for example, the panel may be of the tumbler
switch and fuse type but on~- company might recommend that instead
of six tumbler switches only one be used and place a bid on that basis.
The result is that the ability of a company to propose a Panel board
which will do a given job and at the sane time be comprised of parts
less costly than different parts proposed by competitors, determines
who gets tho order in many cases
There is a general tone of uniformity but with some exceptions.
In very brief form the structure is as follows:
Three classes of purchasers in order of perference given -
1. Class three users; electrical wholesalers.
9822
-171-
2. Class two users; electrical contractors, industrial-
machinery manufacturers, federal, state and municipal
governments, and educational institutions.
3. Class one users; included. all purchasers not included under
Class two and three above.
Discoiints are quoted to these -purchasers, first on the "basis of specific
item purchased; second, on the geographical location of the purchaser
and third, the customer classification of the purchasers. Discounts
on the functional "basis decrease from class three to class one.
The class three purchaser is given an additional discount on stand-
ard list panelboards of certain types when he ships from stock either
on all cr part of such panclboard.
The geographical difference is stated in thirteen different ways,
each of which set-up essentially the same line of demarcation "between
East and West. The most usual statement, however, is East of longitude
110 degrees and West of longitude 110 degrees. ■ '
Variations of this are Standard and Pacific cuast points, Standard
Schedule and Alternate Schedule. Another- cites discounts fur territory
East of the eastern boundaries of hew Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and
Montana end for all territories West of certain boundaries of the sane
states, excluding El Paso, Texas. The list prices to all easterners
and areas are the same. The differential between customer classen
averages about 10l,o between classes, one and two and the same between
two and three.
Perhaps the net. change during price filing was to increase the
differential between East and West, giving the East still more preference
and to increase prices on the circuit breaker type of equipnBnt and to
reduce ^rices on other types.
The purpose of open price filing in this group was to encourage
standardized grouping of product parts resulting in products which
cculd be identified by catalogue number, Prior to open price filing
some members of the industry had subscribed to a. service of catalogue
publishing in which this was attempted.
4. Pole Line Hardware
Pole Line Hardware consists of metal products applicable for usage
in and with cross arms, wires and poles as used for the transmission
and distribution of electrical energy and in communication lines.
There are twelve companies who manufacture sc.:e or all of the pro-
ducts of this industry. The price call was issued May 23, to be effect-
ive June 7, 1934, but because many members of the industry stated that
due to the voluminous, number of items involved extra time was needed,
the effective date of the ..rice call was extended to June 10, 1934.

Tliis group divided the United States into three geographical
areas, Eastern Division, Western Division, or Pacific Coast Division
and the Arizons Division. The Eastern Division comprised all terri-
tory.with the exception cf the Western and Arizona Divisions. The
Eastern division included California, Oregon, and Washington, and
also parts of the following states:
1. Idaho — the counties of Benewah, Bonner, Coundary, Clear-
water, Idaho, Kootenani, Latah, Lewis, Kez Perce, Shoshone;
Montana, — counties of Flathead, Lake (northern half) and
Lincoln; Nevada, — all counties exceot counties of Elko,Eurcka
Eureka, Lincoln, and White Plains, The Ariaona Division comprised
the state of Arizona.
The following shoes the number of companies making filings in
the various divisions: All three divisions - 3 companies
Western and Arizona division - 1 company
Eastern division - 7 companies
Western division - 1 company
Prices, terms and other conditions of sale varied in each of the
three geographical areas. However in any one area, at any given
time, the prices, terms and conditions of sale of all competing com-
panies were the same.
The following are one company's prices on the same items either
at different times in the same locality or in different localities;
all prices are porhundred items:

It can "be seen from the foregoing that the Western di vision prices
were higher than those in tho Eastern division, whils the Arizona
Division prices exceeded those of the Western division.
Approximately the same differential in prices between the three
geographical locations as shown above, prevailed on all items. The
filings by members of this industry made but very few changes in the
list price as originally filed for each geographical areaa. Most of
the changes only affected terms of payment.
An unusual degree of uniformity existed between companies of this
^rcup sofar as -orices, discounts, terms, and delivery were concerned
The main difference between companies being the areas to which they
quoted.
Only one basic change occurred during open price filing, this being
in connection with terms of payment.
These changes can best be seen by consulting Appendix A, Part
13, Section D .
5. Industrial Lighting Equipment
The products of this group are fixtures designed to direct light
for industrial uses. There were five customer classes listed below in
the order of preference given by most companies.
1. Distributors.
2. Jobbers
3. ElcctricalCrntractcrs and Dealers
4. Large Users.
5. Consumers.
Disccunts were given each class on the basis of less than standard
package, one standard package or more, five standard packages or more, and
50 standard Packages or more. To illustrate customer differentials, one
company quotes the five classes discounts on one standard package or more
as follows:
Distributors 48f£, Jobber 37;1, Electrical contractors and dealers
33$, large users 25$, and consumers list.
There is a fair degree of uniformity but with exceptions of two
types, one, companies quoting net prices to distributers or discounts
to distributors only, all others list, net prices to contractors and
dealer; and wholesalers and "all buyers".
As between the original and final filings no change of moment
occurs in the structure, except that not prices probably were reduced
by the reduction of list trices.
9822
-174-
Terms of delivery remain about the same for all companies, "but
terms of payment changed. About 50$ of the companies changed their
basis of cash discount with the result that some uniformity occurred
because the trend of the change was toward terms of 2fo 10 or 15days
net thirty days.

After examining the evidence presented in the preceding separate
group reports, it n-y seen hopeless to attempt to draw any general
conclusions. Much the sane procedure of analysis was applied to records
collected in accordance with a single code provision, nevertheless,
the result is a series of pictures of industry groups which, if they
cr.n "be understood at all, seem to hear almost no relationship to each
other. It is not only that some are less vague and more clear-cut in
outline than others. Sut "basically the various experiences neither start
with nor follow any simple pattern. A tendency in one group to go in one
direction appears in the next as a definite trend in the opposite direc-
tion. The mere fact that they were all exposed to price-filing as defined
in Article X. of the Electric ~.l manufp.cturing code, is apparently no
significant common denominator.
Much of this difference ir. to "be er-plained "by the fact that, while
the seventeen groups are all defined, as "belonging to the electrical
manufacturing industry, that arbitrary definition is about all they have
in common. Prom the economic point of view, flash-light "batteries, weld-
ing apparatus, radio tubes, fuse-plurs, building wire, and potato peel-
ing machinery have little similarity in eiiy economic respect. The under-
lying characteristics of their production, their distribution and their
use fall in entirely different categories. And while some few companies
may operate in many of the lines, the majority are specialists active in
only one of the groups .
A . TIE PP.OBIEk OP CCTT-'LSX PRICE STPJJCTTJPES .
Certain markets and price structures have been taken as typical
by nearly all who have discussed the problem of prices. The famous
Law of supply and demand relates to the amoiint of money paid for a cer-
tain quantity of a certpin quality of a certain commodity in a certain
market where all purchasers are indentical except for the degree of their
desire for the product and the money in their pockets, and all sellers
are indentical except for their costs of aroduction. On the basis of such
assumed conditions, it has been possible to evolve a body of theory des-
cribing the determination of price. The theoreticrl justification usually
advanced for price-f iling is that it contributes to the creation of such
a "perfect" market.
If there is any one thing demonstrated by the record of electrical
prices, it is that no such simplicity exists in fact, .'perhaps raw mat-
erial prices are less com; lex; certainly retail prices are more diffipl©;
but mriinuf a.cturers engaged in the type of economic activity typified by
the £ . oups here examined, are enmeshed in price structures which are
compounded of many elements.
9S22 .
-176-
They are not selling products, "but credit and transportation. The pur-
chasers are not interchangeable "but divide into many groups and types,
frequently noncompetitive with each other. Before considering the oper-
ation and effects of price-filing, it is necessary to describe this
complex multi-i arket situation in some detail.
Products
There is hardly a price-call in the electrical industry which
related to a simple product without variation in size, grade, design
or technical specifications . Of those examined, perhaps welding appar-
atus comes nearest to such simplicity, "but even it is quickly complicated
"by many variarions in supplementary equipment and accessories .In many
instances, although the number of basic products is small, the presence
of a small number of universal ■ variables plus a great many variations
in size and grade, result in so many possible combinations and permut-
ations as to involve thousands of different prices, applying to parti-
cular specifications, as is the case in the rubber-covered building wire
group. In still other cases, the actual products themselves are numerous,
as in domestic heating appliances.
To add further confusion to this picture the products do not nec-
essarily maintain a quality continuity. There are the cases where the
products are continually changed in design or structure, or where old
products are dropped and new products appear as in the domestic heating
appliance group.
In the battery group, the problem of defining the product is fur-
ther complicated by the provision for different prices according to the
nature of the label, ~ the standard brand label carrying higher prices
than special labels although the actual merchandise involved may be
identical.
In several grouos, the problem of packaging appears. The product
is usually cot p^.rchased in bulk so prices must take into account the
form in : irk it is purchased. In the wire groups, this raise problems
of spools, laels and factory lengths; in products such as sockets, of
standard packages, cartons and broken cartons.
One might expect that price changes in a line such as building wire
or sockets would move uniformly, and that consequently one or two
typical items woxild provide a base from which all other prices would
maintain regular differentials. Unfortunately, such is by no means the
case. To be sure, there are occasional broadside price changes affecting
the entire list, but in addition there are continual sharp-shooting
revisions in the list price of one or another single item.
In some instances, other elements in the price structure may vary
according to the particular product under consideration. Some products
may be quoted on a, list less discount basis, while others will carry
a net price.
9322
-177-
in the battery group, freight ch rges or allowance vary according to
the particular product under consideration, In the magnet wire group,
the asbestos insulated magnet wire price structure includes discounts
to specified customer classes, while other magnet 'Tire does not.
Freight
Inasmuch as most manufacturers of electrical products sell their
products over a wide geopraphical area, the problem of transportation
enters into the price contract. The manufacturer frequently includes
freight as jjart of the total sale. The extreme forms which the price
structure may take is s: le f.o.b. factory or a delivered price regard-
less of the customer's location. Other variations are the use of basing
points, i.e., freight charged from some point other than the factory,
and the use of zones,' the most usual being some variant on the theme of
east and "/est. Perhaps . the m^st unusual is the pole line 'hardware
group, having three zones, one of which 'is the single state, Arizona.
In several groups, the treatment of freight varies among the classes
of customers, while in many the character of the freight charge or
allowance: varies with the size of the order, a form of quantity discount.
It has usually been assumed that the freight element in the price
structure changes but little ."from time to time. It is possible, of course,
that such changes were largely the result of the new information sudden-
ly made available about the practices of others in the indsutry, and
that it was inevitable that there would be numerous changes in the first
year of price-filing. This. would argue th t the record of change was
merely temporary. Certainly, the filings for the groups studied show
that freight terms are by no means inflexible. However, changes were
not merely along the line of the development of uniformity. The out-
standing is that of the rubber- cove red building wire group, whose
price structure changed from an el; borate system of freight charges to
a delivered price basis during the period. This is not an isolated case
of structural change, for otlher groups also recorded revised freight
structures.
One form of price change under this head relates to the companies
which charge freight from variouv warehousing points. Since they ab-
andon or add warehouses from time to time the result is an unrecorded
change in prices.
Credit
In addition to selling products and transportation, these industries
all sell credit. This element in the price structure takes the form of
cash discount and credit terms. In the case of expensive products, it
may appear in the guise of an installment purchase as is the case for
welding apparatus. Here again, it is usually assumed that little variat-
ion exists, if any.
Although the credit, terms item ^as more uniform than most elements
in the price contract, variations existea within most industries, as
well as wide differences among the various industries.
9822
, _
-178-
In come few instances, terms varied with the class of customer or the
size of the order. It is one further complexity in the price contract,
— one other item which apparently may "be varied in the search for
customers.
Other Considerations.
In some cases, still additional elements enter into the trans-
action to complicate it. The problem of container extras or returning
reels, of rental and leasing plans, of special label or design charges
or allowances, of trade-in allowances, of guaranteed performance or
perfection, of speed of delivery, of standard or special equipment and
accessories, — any of these may also appear as part of the price
contract or offer, to increase the d ifficulty for the purchaser in
comparing competitors' products, or to worry the analyst who tries
to summarize neatly the character of or changes in the price structure.
Customer Classification
The serious problem of competing distribution channels is clearly
in evidence in the price structures of the groups in electrical industry.
If the elements in the price are complicated, the treatment of different
groups of customers is frequently even more so. It is important to
keep in mind that, prior to price-filing, many companies engaged in
separate bargaining with e ach customer, with no formal price structure
at all. Inasmuch as business is often a series of independent trans-
actions, a difficult customer may be won by creating a new customer
class or redefining an old one so as to increase his discount.
Furthermore, many of the products go to quite different and often
non-competing types of customers. They may be sold to competitors to
fill out incomplete lines, to manufacturers of other more complicated
electrical products who '"ill use the product purchased as part of their
own fabrication, to industrial users, to supply houses, to wholesalers
and jobbers for distribution to retailers, and direct to retailers.
The result of this complicated marketing situation is the frequent
use of a list price which serves no purpose except as a basis from
which various differential discounts may be computed. Rather than vary
the list price, price changes may be made by changing some or all of
the discount rates. In other groups, there are separate net price lists
for different customer clasres.
In most of the groups studied, these customer discounts are the
heart of the price structure. They create wide differences in price
to different customers. The most significant changes in price occur by
means of their revision, reflecting the efforts to attract those oper-
ating in one or another channel. of distribution or use*
In some groups, the industry never escaped from its earlier state
of chaotic individual discounts. The members of the fractional horse-
power motor industry incorporated the multiplier system for larger
buyers as part of their filings, and the domestic heating appliance
9322
-179-
group, after an early period of exact, discounts, introduced the
system of special discounts of 10 per cent available at seller's choice.
In the "batteries group, the development of such optional discounts was
subject to -continual extension until one company reached the extent of
quoting a "blanket discount "up to TO per cent in consideration of
quantity, quality and cost of selling and transportation."
Finally, undoubtedly the disregard of filea prices, alleged W)
"be so frequent in the later days, usually took the form of concessions
to certain favorite "buyers rather than a uniform reduction below
filed prices. . "
Quantity Discount
In addition to, or imposed upon these functioanl discounts, are
various forms of quantity discount. Of course, the functional discounts
themselves reflect to a considerable extent the quantities involved in
different types of transactions. Specific quantity discounts take
many different forms. They may be based upon dollar volume or physical
quantity. Frequently, they vary with the class of customer as in the
original fan motor filings. In rubber-covered building wire, the
quantity discounts which apply to most customers, are offset by a
reverse discount schedule for distributors. In some instances they
have no relation to the quantity or value involved in tBae particular
order, but may relate rather to the year's purchase, not always limited
even to purchases. from the concern giving the discount (fractional
horsepower motors.).
Conclusion.
The above brief summary of the complexity of some of the various
structures within the electrical manufacturing indsutry, emphasizas
certain elements among the many problems of price behavior. The two
problems in the price area most frequently considered are the level of
prices and the relationship of price to cost. Not only does the factor
of complexity inject difficulties into the determination of a statist-
ical measure of changes in the price level, but it suggests that per-
haps the rearrangement of prices within the stricture may be sven mor<^
important in some connections than changes in the level. In the build-
ing wire industry, fcr example, it is impossible to determine whether
prices moved up or down on the average, during the price filing period,
but it is clear that there were major changes affecting particular
customers far beyond any movement in the level. As to the problem of
the relationship between price and cost, the problems raised appear
almost insuperable. With prices dependent upon variations in product ,
quantity in the transaction, types of customers, and innumerable other
factors, the determination of the actual cost applicable to any single
transaction sterns hopeless. 3ut if complexity increases the difficul-
ties in the analysis of price level or cost, it opens wide for analysis
the area of the behavior of internal industry price structures, not
only with respect to the basic pattern disclosed of the methods of
doing business* but the process of continual revision and adjustment
as it affects members of the industry and other customers.

3. The Behavior of prices Under price Filing
By this time, it should be clear that it is impossible to
isolate the influence of price-filing upon the price structure vhich
existed prior to the code. However, one can discuss some of the
characheri sties of price behavior during this period, and draw
some tentative conclusions about the possible relationship of price-
filing to the various incidents. Even if it had no causative influence,
it performed the service of establishing for the first time in hist-.
ory, a detailed record of the nature of change in such complicated
structures.
9822
-181-
The point must be stressed that changes in the level or structure of
prices during the short period from late 1933 to early 1933, were the
result of a bewildering and complex sot of. forces both in respect to demand
and cost of production which varied from group to group. Furthermore,
assuming for the moment that orice-filin is an attempt to approximate the
adltions of an organized market, then the behavior of prices under its
aegis should merely reflect more accurately than otherwise the underlying
economic conditions, Price-filing should operate as a lubricating agent
rather than an originating force.
. __ Level of Prices..
All that has been said before, argues against the possibility of
determining whether prices advanced or fell during the period, and certainly
against any exact determination of the extent of the change. However, some
conclusions can be drawn concerning direction.
There is no case cf conspicuous price increase, The only instance
where it seems possible that the average may have risen, is rubber-covered
building wire. I. that instance, the structure changed so completely,
that one oust judge on the basis of the fact that the change in method of
charging freight caused a higher price to most customers although the average
reduction to others exceeded the average increase, that there was a heavier
penalty on very small orders and an increased quantity premium, and that
wholesalers reeeived a much greater discount than previously.
In some cases such as food service equipment and laminated phenolic
products, there wad little change according to the record of filings.
Inaother cases, there were reductions in sections of the price
structure, as in connection with, the Bmallest electric fans, or the quantity
purchasers of magnet wire or fractional horsepower motors.
Finally, there wore illustrations of. general price reductions varying
from relatively slight deer ses such as welding apparatus to the greater
reductions of batteries, fie. .idle cords, radio tubes and sockets.
The significance of these estimates is weakened by uncertainties
relating to both ends cf the price-filing period. Undoubtedly, original
filings were in many cases above actual prices then prevailing, especially
en special and secret disccunts are taken into account, and the declines
map represent merely the return to previous levels. On the other hand,
the filed prices at the end when compliance was so faulty were frequently
above the actual market. The evidence of marked' price decline in the
battery and flexible cord groups is supported by the fact that the price-
call was. cancelled for both these groups, ana it became a dead letter in
the : • : ■: group, although not formally cancelled.
nich influence the -resence of price-filing had ir. affecting the

industry t/ss co;iroetir:g for chrnnels of volume distribution. i!ad there
been no price-filing, the history of nrices could not have been so clearly
a matter of record, although the basic circumstances might still have
interfered with "stability".
Shifting Price Structure. One of the most interesting results is the
number of major changes in the -oattern of the various price structures
which occurred during this period. To be sure, these industries do not
have old established practices, hoary with tradition. They were all
severely hit by the depression. As a result, instance after instance
is in the record of a revision in the way of doing business. It might
be the disappearance of middlemen operating on a consignment basis in the
radio tube industry, the trend towards substitution of a single customer
class for the previous plural classification in the sockets graup, the
shift from a form of basing point system to delivered prices in the magnet
wire industry, or the wide— spread elimination of quantity discount in the
electric fan industry. Whether or not these changes were healthy is
another story, Kit some one thought they ought co be made.
There are two groups in which the changes v/ere sweeping in character.
In rubber-covered building wire, the price structure was completely
revolutionized in terms of its application to any specific customer.
Freight was changed from a freight-added basis to a delivered price.
Separate list prices v/ere established for various types of transactions,
and wholesalers were given a much greater discount.
The flexible cord industry is another case of extreme structural
variation in which a mere detailed customer classification structure
was supplanted by one based on quantities, then by a single priae to all
buyers, and finally returned to a structure resembling that in the original
filings.
Under a policy of price secrecy, the nature of any new price structure
of any complexity' which some competitor might establish, would be a
matter of detective work by salesmen until enough data had been accumulated
to solve the puzzle. The interim would necessarily be a state of confusion,
withclaims and counter-claims made to and by customers. Under price-filing,
these changes took place quietly and openly. Perhaps it tends to make them
more healthy than if they never are exposed to the light. At least it can
be said that price-filing evidently greatly eases such periods of transition.
foksAoraer Pi f f eren t i al s . The treatment of customer groups shows conflicting-
trends. In radio tubes and building wire the wholesaler or jobber emerged
in a stronger position than before, while in other groups his position is
weaker. In sockets and fuse-plugs, there was a tendency for differentials
to disappear, and a single category of " all buyers" to be substituted.
The discount for quantity increased in the magnet wire and fractional horse
power motor groups. On the other hand, it disappeared in all but one
customer class in the fan motors group, and was abandoned as a main basis for
classification after a brief period of trial in the flexible cord industry,
in which industry the range of differential pricos went in and out like an
accordion. The distant purchaser gained at the expense of the customer
nearby in building wire and magnet wire, and penalties on purchases less
than the standard unit were made heavier in several groups. In several
groups, for example, fan motors, the government improved its rclativo position
0822
-183-
among the customer classes.
It has already been noted that in certain groups, the old system of
individual discounts could not be entirely overthrown. In the domestic
heating appliance and the batteries group, the filing of blanket discounts
for use at the manufacturer's option in such general terms as "for
promotional activity" completely destroyed the exactness of any customer
classification.
In general, it can be said that there were changes in differentials
representing a major form of price change in .iost groups. The fact that
customers did not directly receive the filed information raises an
interesting question as to whether full publicity would have led to greater
readjustments of these differentials.
Uniformity. If there is any single characteristic which may be taken as
an indicator of an organized market — organized either bv competition or
agreement — it is uniformity* Presumably, under such circumstances, no
individual can afford to maintain a price above his competitors , nor will
the2r permit him to be below.
In most industries, nearly all members appear to follow the general
pattern of price -structure which prevails. In portable electric tnols,
several manufacturers who also r.ianuf ac tur e fractional horse power motors
and were using the motor price structure, quickly abandoned their original
methods after price-filing began for these generally prevalent in the
industry. It appears that an enterprise operating in several groups,
will follow the structure of each, a situation which would be most
bewildering were not the prevailing practice to operate under a policy of
decentralization. This persistence of pattern even appears within groups,
as for exajnple, the special structure of asbestos insulated wire in the
magnet wire group.
Likewise, when significant changes in structure appeared, as the
experiment in supplanting functional discounts with quantity discounts in
the flexible cord industry, the new structure was almost immediately adop-
ted by the entire industry, and as speedily and universally abandoned several
weeks later. In general-, differences among manufacturers are not so much
the use of different patterns of price structure, as the use of varying
differentials or rates.
The most noticeable trend towards uniformity during the period was in
terms and conditions of sale. Perhaps the most interesting case is that of
welding apparatus, where the wide variation in installment plans and in
rental arrangements tended to give way to a single plan, although all members
of the grou had not adopted it by the end of the period. In many groups,
terms became somewhat more uniform. This same trend was evident in the
me tho d o f handl i n ; f re ight .
The tendency to uniformity wa.s also present in the area of customer
classification, but it took a rather different form . The tendency frequently
was for a concern upon discovery of a cla.ss used by another manufacturer
to establish it also. Thus uniformity cane about by the simple method of
each incorporating the vagaries of all other members of the industry. Whether
this would prove a persistent tendency is difficult to determine. In the
•484-
sockets and fuses groups, as well :is the flexible cord, there is evidence
of a trend towards simplification.
It should be -noted that in many industries, changes are very gradual
in being adopted by the various members. Often,' the filings which relate
t:> some particular variation may take several months before they are
completed, and a small number of companies may disregard the revision
entirely. This means that, at any given moment of time, it may appear
superficially to be an extremely disorganized situation. ' Furthermore,
there are always various situations (i.e. navy contracts) in which only
certain members of the industry are interested so that filings pertaining
thereto are not made by the entire industry
Considering all the elements in the structures, however, it may be
said that the extreme cases of considerable uniformity at the' beginning
had it at the end, and those with wide deviations in the original filings
still recorded them in their final filings. 'This seems to be. much- more
a matter of the extent to which the" market is in fact a somewhat' unified
market with vigorous comoetitors or ccoperators, than merely' a group of
firms not a competitive unit and relatively insensitive to the nrice
behavior of each other. HoWVer, at many specific points in the price
stmcturc, there was a noticeable increase in uniformity, which can be
attributed only to the improvement in price information.
Flexibility. Without" records concerning price behavior in the -oast, it is
difficult to evaluate the degree of price flexibility in these industries
during the recorded -oeriod. None of the groups behaves with those frequent
price changes which are usually found in agricultural markets. 'On the other
hand, the fact that changes may and do occur in any of the many items,
involved in the price contract, or for certain customers and not for others,
, means that' there is much more flexibility than had commonly been supposed.
The cases of little -price change, for example, food service equipment, are
cases where the product is sold on a basis of ouality or specific utility,
and variations take place in the product rather than the cash aspect of the
price. .
While the matter is not finally demonstrated, there is no evidence that
prices- were made less flexible by the price-filing device. Probably in
matters such as terms and conditions of sale, there were more variations
as. uniformity developed that would normally be the case. The wide experi-
menting with the nrice structure appearing in the flexible cord and building
wire industries, for example, would appear to be much more apt to happen
under price-filing than otherwise. The effect of publicity was that, as
soon as one' member of the industry made a change, all the others followed.
Then some one else had another idea which he filed, and the others followed.
Thus the structure changed under the impact of various individuals separatc-
. ly assuming leadership. In several cases, the followers filed a modifica-
tion of the suggestion of the leader, -and he was forced later to revise.
The record shows almost no cases where filings were made and subse-
quently withdrawn, where" it can even be suspected that undue pressure was
brought to bear. There are, however, instances (i.e. batteries) where
individuals filed higher prices in the hope that the industry would advance
to the higher level, but Were disappointed in their .ho'oe and were forced
to climb dovm again.- '

Waiting period. The code provision provided for .a ten day waiting period,
unless a filing was "to meet competition," or the supervisory agency
authorized a shorter period. The authorization was given frequently in
some groups, particularly in cases relating to construction detail involved
in special orders.
The I lem of the waiting period had "been one on which the industry
and XRA had violently disagreed. The studies relegate the tempest to the
teapot. There are very few instances where the waiting period appears to
ve been of real significance. The filings in many groups show not only
a failure to file within the waiting pcriea, hut even delays of weeks
before the new filing is met. The speed of reaction varies with the .
importance of the price change. Where it is a major change", it will proceed
through the industry with more rapidity than a minor revision. In general,
there seems to be little necessity demonstrated for the waiting period,
though something of a case can be made for some device permitting delay
in these, cases of such major importance that the members of .the industry
and customers will gain by the opportunity to consider and study the change
carefully before following the initiating filing.
In many groups, the problem of determining when a filing was "to meet
competition" proved to be a particularly difficult one. In both the .sockets
and flexible cord groups, it appears that short filings were permitted
"tc meet competition" of individuals allegedly selling below their filed
prices. . However, the more difficult problem is best illustrated in the
domestic heating appliance group. Manufacturer A sells a toaster for $2.00.
Manufacturer 3 sells a 'toaster for 51.50, A cuts his price 10 cents.
Should B be allowed tc file a coincidental pr'ice'reduction to meet
competition? Suppose 3 also produces a percolator which sells for the same
price as his toaster - is it in competition with A's toaster? Or, to note
another variant, A sells through jobbers and B sells direct. A increases
his jobbers discount, - may 3 file "to meet competition" and how much may
he reduce, — the amount or the percentage of A's reduction. Despite the
number of cases such as these, it docs not appear that any principle emerged
jverning their solution oy the several supervisory agencies.
Leadership, ft is impossible from the record to make any adequate analysis
as tc the extent to which price policies were determined by some form of
group decision rather than in complete individual isolation. Certainly the
erratic behavior cf most of the groups makes such a hypothesis quite untenable,
Dn the other hand, it occasionally appears that certain sub-groups within the
group considered have a degree of uniformity which may result either from
competition or cooperation. In soma instances, this may be the result of
patent and license agreements and in others, of some form of parent- subsid-
iary relationchi . • .
There is little evidence in the price 'filing record of dominance of
the policies of any gr .T one or two companies, taking the timing of price
filings as a "oasis. Even where such major changes occurred as in the
building wire group the leadership was taken at different times by different
members of the industry. In the flexible cord group, most of the initiating
filings were made by t a nies, but as discussed in detail in the chapter
on this group, the record does not demonstrate any well controlled precession
behind the leaders.

As to oifferences between large and small companies, the small
companies were frequently very inactive, as though they had separate little
markets or customer relationships not affected by the general market
situation. As a result, the large companies usually made many more filings
than did the small ones. . "
£nt£ancea and Exits, The evidence does not indicate that any considerable
number of companies were attracted into these groups by price-filing. Th-re
is evidence that some manufacturers with incomplete lines extended them
during the period. Furthermore, if the establishment of new customer
classes is any indication, there was a considerable attempt to enter new
markets, however, botn these developments may be accounted for by the
necessities oi the enterprises rather than the initiation of price-filing.
Conclusion. This record of seventeen experiments in ^rice-filing presents
some evidence that the device possesses neither all the evil characteristics
which some had alleged nor all the excellent ones claimed for it by others.
Oertamly the records of price behavior of the groups during the period do
not appear to disclose any single pattern which can be attributed" to the
distribution of price information throughout each group. As a device it
served primarily to lubricate the market machinery rather than to solve the
basic economic problems of industry.
It proved- to be no panacea. Prices were not neatly stabilized.
Economic differentials were not necessarily created. On the other hand,
many changes were brought about with little disorder or confusion, and there
was some increase in uniformity. Undoubtedly, it served to illuminate many
of the particular problems in each group and possibly introduced more
rationalization into individual price policies. At the very least, it
provided a set of basic facts about a series of complex markets which
deserve study not only by those in the industries concerned, but by all
interested in the operation of our economic system.

The ^ concept of price-fling as a method of establishing an organized
market, is by no means overwhelmingly demonstrated by the records of these
seventeen experiments, ^ne may assume such a market to be one in which there
is considerable uniformity in price at any given moment, flexibility of price
reflecting economic conditions, and sensitivity on the part of each member
cf the industry to the behavior of his competitors. The evidence demonstrates
certain conditions where this development appears to be more apt to occur
than others. The following sections indicate tentative conclusions based on
the studios alone, concerning the necessary requisites for price-filing to
operate in the direction of creating such a market.
£co£e of the Price-Call. The electrical industry offered peculiar difficultly
;.o the .Hational Recovery Administration, and to itself for that matter, in
determining its boundaries. The problem becomes even more difficult when one
endeavors tr define groups for ririce-f iling purposes. Some products, such as
rubber- covered building wire or welding apparatus, are sufficiently unique
and definite to define an exact group of competitors. Cn the other hand,
a group such as food service equipment includes a largo number of non-competin
products and many companies which produce specialized items which cnmpctef with
only one or two other companies in the group, if any. The entire group is
0822
-187-
sub-divided into a large number of small, c ver-lapping semi-competitive _
sub-divisions. The potato-peeler manufacturers are not much interested m
the drink-mixer price structure, etc..
The cases where price-filing seems to have operated with some effective-
ness are the groups where the concerns involved are clearly competitors, --
re it is an economic group and not one created chiefly because of the
necessities of a complete plan of subdividing the industry for organizational
purposes. fed all t>rice-calls been limited to specific competing items
rather than to broad classes of products, the process would have been much
less expensive, less bother, and much more effective.
Although it is in the realm of the intangible, perhaps some distinction
should be made between the groups which have boon organized for many years
and those which have developed no "group-consciousness," the groups whicn
have members who are definitely committed through considerable investment to
continuing in the industry and those whose members are in and out, the groups
whose members think in terms of the industry and those whose natural
characteristics dispose them to seek temporary advantages. The tendency for
the one is for price policies to be determined in terms of their implications
for the entire industry, in the second, in terms of the immediate advantage
for tbe particular enterprise. Without adequate enforcement, price-filing
in groups of the second type, seems to have led to widespread dissatisfaction
and even its abandonment by several such groups.
Trice Sensitivity.. The various groups examined appear to vary widely in
tenia of "STe place of price in their economic behavior. In some instances,
such as building wire and batteries, it appears that any change by one member
of the industry in his price level or structure is likely to be quickly
reflected through the industry. In other groups, such as welding apparatus
and domestic heating appliances, the various enterprises show little immediate
concern over the behavior of others.
It app-ars to be true that in the case of products where the producers
have a narrow margin and there is no significant distinction between the
pmduct of the various members of the industry, price competition is important
and changes by one member of the industry are rapidly reflected by the others.
There products are distinguished by design, etc., and the manufacturer has
a wide margin of choice in determining price because a large proportion of the
cost is within his control, the market is much mere sluggish. Probably the
potentialities of price-filing could be obtained in the second case by
occasional filings of terms, freight allowances, etc., without any attempt
to maintain complete, up-to-date filings.
Standardization of Products. It appears to be important that the pmduct_be
something which has a clear qualitative meaning to all involved m the price-
filing. "An advertisement stating that a suit of clothes costs $30.00 means
nothing unless and until there is some measure of quality. A price is a
price for something.
In grouos with product standardization such as radio tubes or building
wire, there 'is no such difficulty. However, price-filing in the domestic
heating appliance field could not possibly give any real picture of price
levels. With a manufacturer prodiicing a series of irons, percolators or
toasters at different price levels, and giving only the most inadequate
descriptions of the product, neither competitor nor consumer can interpret
accurately his -orice list. In some cases, of course, the name of the
9322 manufacturer may help to identify the quality of the product.
-1*88-
This does not mean that exact specifications in every respect are
required. No one knows the full values involved when he purchases a share
of stock in the stock exchange. But lie does know what the share is. The
product must be clearly identifiable. The more the situation is confused by
variations in dor.ign, color, trick gadgets and the like the more impossible
af realisation is the concept of an organized market.
9822
-189-
Infornntory Character of Filing. Although the product may ho difficult
to define, there is no excuse for indefiniteness on the prico side of the
transaction. Price-filing is intended to be informs tor/. It should tell
any intelligent reader the nature of the price offers which each com-
petitor is mailing.
Although there was marked imporvenent in this respect in certain of
tho grouos during the months of experience, it still remains true that
many of the filings were incomplete or inexact. In the case of the
larger products, the incomplete record of trade-in allowances, greatly
weakened the accuracy of the record which was filed. Prices wore filed,
for East and West, without indicating the line whore the twain sha.ll
meet. Terms were filed on the "basis of 2 per cent 10 days, without in-
dicating that basic date was that from which the 10 days should be
counted. And under the heading of customer classes, filings referred to
"large retailers", "Class A Chains", or such classes as "wholesalers"
and "jobbers" without any indication of the distinction. Perhaps, over
a longer -ocriod of time, these elements of obscurity would have gradually
been eliminated.
A further difficulty was the fact that new filings frequently failed
to tell how much of the old filings were displaced. Ylhen a new customer
class was created, it was. sometimes impossible to tell how much of the
old structure .remained. Likewise, in some of the more complicated filings,
it was a necdle-in-thc haysta.ckta.sk to determine what changes had been
made. It mi^ht have helped if each filing had been accompanied by a
brief summary of the changes involved.
Perhaps the greatest violation of this principle of exact informa-
tion was in the groups whore special or optional discounts were filed
without any indication of when or under what circumstances they might
be granted. In the domestic heating appliance and batteries groups, for
example, the period of price-filing saw a marked increase in .the number
filing such special "promotional" discounts.
Furthermore, there must bo assurance that salos arc actually made,
at the filed price. Although there are no official records of such cases,
members of the industry report that, under the authority of the looso
phraseology of the codo urovision, sales were sometimes made abovo the
prices filed. There is considerable evidenco that sales were made at
less than filed prices, particularly in the latter days of the code.
It is of course true that misinformation may- do more harm than no
information at all. One of the innate difficulties with price-filing as
a device is that the non-participating members of the industry derive an
advantage over the men who give full information about thoir orice
structure. This advantage is ,of course greatly enhanced when the com-
pilers are bound by a, waiting period.
Filing Agency. 77hile there is much to be sa.id for the procedure of
using members of the industry as supervisory agencies, the fact remains
that they were too busy with their own affairs to bo able to supervise
carefully the details of the actual price-filings. Much of the obscurity
of some of the filings could have been eliminated if full-time experts
with authority had been able to insist upon revisions in form and
9822
-190-
adoquacy of content. While it would perhaps he impractical to require
the use of some special form, at least the essential information necessary
could have "been more carefully specified, and a greater attempt made to
eliminate the inexact elements in the filings. Both this reason, and the
values to be' obtained from continual analysis of the data, suggest the
importance of a competent full-time staff to operate the price-filing
mechanism.
Purpose.' Perhaps most important of all, is the attitude with which the
particular group approached price-filing. Many felt that the distress of
their particular industry was due to price "behavior, rather than app-
reciating that -orices usually reflect some maladjustment in more basic
economic conditions. Undoubtedly, many business men hoped that price-
filing would raise prices. Others saw it merely as a cpnvenient moans of
enforcing the no-soiling— bolrw-cost "orovision. The record does not de-
monstrate the effectiveness of price-filing at least under the existing
circumstances for either of those objectives. Its failure in these two
respects was regarded by many as a failure of the device.
For its "successful use, an industry must desire to expose its
price structure to the operation of basic economic forces. If it wishes
to reduce the element of discrimination among customer classes, or to
eliminate the procedure of separate bargaining with each purchaser, it
must be willing to place the information in the hands of customers, so
that their insistence will enforce reduction in differential discounts.
If it believes that economic controls should operate through the law
of supply and demand, it must be willing to place its prices in a gold-
fish bowl. Too few business men were aware of the real implications of
tho prico— filing device.
To be sure, there were many other special purposes which price-
filing accomplished. It gave impetus to the development of product stand-
ardization. In some lines, it created for the first time a record of
those enterprises engaged in the production of the particular products
in a group, and the variety of products which each produced. Most im-
portant of all, it created a record of the nature of the price structure
in each industry, a set of economic facts of great ' importance to those
concerned with the development of public and private policy in the fiold
of industrial operation, and facts which might be of great benefit to
the industry itself when carefully studied and analyzed.
Flexibility ,_qf Operation. Prico filing in all seventeen groups in the
oloctrical manufacturing industry was governed by a single code provision.
However, it appears that the economic problems and operations of the ,
several groups are by no moans identical. Had there been more careful
analysis^ of the specific situations, perhaps modifications of the basic
plan might have been devised which would have been more effective and much
less costly.
The wording of the code specified that filing should involve in
providing of all price information about a "product" by all producing
that product. In fact, various exemptions developed, such as sales to
employees or for export. In many cases, it might have been possible to
eliminate whole areas of transactions without weakening the usefulness
9822
-191-
of the device, — disregarding sales into certain channels of distribution,
such as the government, for example. In other cases, only certain areas
of the price structure might have "been covered by the price-filing, as
for example, installment terms in the welding apparatus industry, or
discounts to customer clasc.es in the domestic heating appliance industry.
Finally, there are some instances where there was real value in the
original call, hut little gained by continued filing. In the food
service equipment group, ted emphasis been laid upon original registration,
and no attempt been made to obtain later revisions, the essential values,
such as they* are, of its price-filing experience would have been conserved.
These comments merely serve to emphasize the fact that price-filing
is a device. It shoLild not be applied according to any single formula
to evci-y situation. Probably it should not be applied at all under
certain situations. In any event, it should be preceded by the most
careful consideration of the specific problems of the specific industry
group concerned. And, like all devices, its operation should be subject
to observation in order to insure its maximum effectiveness.
D. TIE 1T33D FCQ FUETH3R STUDY
The study of the price-filing records for the electrical manufactur-
ing industry has raised many more problems than it has solved. Intended
as an evaluation of the price-filing device, it lias proved to have much
more significance as an exploration into the behavior of prices for a
short period of time in a small number of industry groups, — groups whose
exceedingly complicated price structures are in the continual process of
internal readjust'^&at. Multiple products, functional discounts, quantity
discounts, credit terms, freight charges and innumerable other elements
all enter into the fabric woven by competition.
The light thrown upon economic processes by these experimental
studies, seems chiefly to exoosc an area of ignorance. Ho such records
have ever been available before and therefore no such studies have been
made. But even these few studies raise some fundamental problems. Are
these seventeen industries isolated phenomena or do they typify other
industries? If such price behavior appears elsewhere, how does it
differ in kind and in degree? Would observation over allonger period of
time disclose evolutionary trends not evident in so short and so dis-
turbed a period? What are the implications of their many variations
upon consumers, on competing industries? What basic economic character-
istics appear to define the form of the price structure? What elements
in the price structure seem to be harmful to the industry or to the en-
tire economic system? What forces of economic control, public or private,
arc necossa.ry to insure price behavior which will encourage economic
health? These and many other problems emerge as one considers the
record.
What further study is needed? The answer is simple - similar and
better examinations should be ma.de of every other industry with a complex
price structure. Any existing compilations of industry prices should be
subjected to careful study. The records of every industry engaged in
price filing should be analyzed. Just as industries have been encouraged
9322
-192-
to study their costs, they should ho encouraged to submit their price
structure to scientific examination, in their own interest. Economic
problems cannot he solved apart from the facts of economic processes.
Certs-inly, laiov/lcdge of the behavior of prices is essentail to those
determining individual business policies and even more so to those

Note: Final Net Price 28yj under original Net Price.
The wide variations in the amount by which net prices dropped are
occasioned "by the differences in the competitive status of the various
types of wires comprising the industry. For instance, Type PO size rfl8
is the most widely used of the flexible cord group, 'and the easiest of
manufacture; that is, less expensive machinery is required in order to
get into the business than in other types. Consequently, there are more
of the "in-and-out" factories in this line, and it is more susceptible
to price-cutting. The converse is true of Type S J , and of radio wires;
hence, the narrower range of net prices for these types during the price-
filing period.
A member of NEMA who wrs for several years on the engineering staff
of the .Underwriters' laboratories, and who is, therefore, well qualified
to express an opinion, has written a brief statement on price-filing as
it worked out in the flexible cord group. This statement is quoted in
full, as being the best available testimony on this subject:
9322
-273«
"The open price policy -under the ITHA code v;as a failure so
far as the flexible cord industry was concerned. 3y "failure" I
mean that it failed to accomplish its two fundamental objects,
.as follows:
(a) Frice Stabilization. This is quite different from
price-fixing. There was no attempt at price-fixing,
that I could see.
("b) Furnishing all employers at all times, with correct
information as to the state of the market*
Many pages could he written as to the reasons for the failure;
I will therefore confine myself to a hew highspots, not necessarily
in the order of their importance.
1. Diversity of Interests. Flexible cord is sold primarily to
three principal custodier divisions:
(a) Chain stores and mail order houses
(b) Jobbers
(c) Electrical appliance manufacturers,
(including radio.)
The 45 flexible cord producers comprising the industry were divided
into numerous sub-classes so far as these customer divisions were
concerned. Some sold chain stores only; some had no jobber business
at all; some dealt exclusively thru the jobber; some sold all three;
some sold radio manufacturers only, - and so on. What happened with
the advent of the first filed price sheet? The cord producer let
us say, whose sole business was to chain stores, received his com-
petitor's sheet, which gave a more favorable price to the jobber
than to the chain store. He immediately decides that that isn't
right ~ so he files his prices, meeting the other fellow's price,
but making it favorable to the chain store. It is easy to see that
an endless stream of filings follows, with each type of manufacturer
attempting to maintain a favorable position for his particular "pet"
type of customer. Obviously, stabilization is impossible under
such circumstances.
2. Diversity of Production. Roughly speaking, there are three
types of cord manufacturers.
(a) Those who make flexible cord only.
(b) Those who make heavier wires, as well as cords,
but to whom cords are an import. ant item.
(c) Those whose main business is in the field of
heavier wires, with flexible cord produced mainly
to fill out a complete line of insulated wires.
Quite naturally there were pronounced differences of
opinion ~ reflected in price filings - as to "cost",
"selling below cost", etc. It doesn't require any
argument to show Jfliat striking differences there arust
have been, between these three classes, in such items
9822
-279-
as overhead, distribution expense, etc. If a producer
in class (c) filed prices to meet those filed by one in
class (a), he was violating the code 'by "being "below cost,
whereas the fellow in class (a) was probably all right.
If he didn't file to meet the aforesaid filing, he found
himself out of the market. Hence there was a continued
series of filing, up and down, 'which again made stabilization
impossible
Lei .
3. Retaliatory Filings. The flexible cord industry, as is
every other industry, is m.o.de up of personalities as well as
manufacturing units. There were many price filings made purely
and simply in retaliation of one previously filed by a bitter
competitor, resulting in a downward step for the entire industry.
All the above discussion is on the general subject of the
failure to effect stabilization. In regard to the failure of
the open-price policy to give accurate information, little need
be said. The flexible cord industry is no different from any
other industry; it has in it a small group of manufacturers who,
from the very outset, never had the slightest intention of com-
plying with the filed price regulations - or anything else -
in the 1TRA Code. At first, their efforts at evasion were confined
to the filing of evasive, incomplete or obscure price sneets; but
when these tactics failed, due to the alertness of the code authority,
deliberate disregard of filed prices became the next step. When it
became apparent that these tactics were to receive no punishment, the
practice spread somewhat further into the industry. Thus a condition
developed throughout a considerable portion of the industry where a
filed price was merely a piece of paper, with no real significance.
The above might seem to be a fairly severe indictment of the
open-policy. It is not intended to be. I am merely pointing out why
it failed. I personally feel, - how many will agree with me I do
not know - that the industry was better off with it, than without it,
even though the whole curve, throughout the filed price era was con-
stantly downward. It is certain that the structure went all to
pieces when the open-price policy was abandoned; it is also evident
that the entire industry is " gaessing" at the market now. I feel
that there are enough thinking and ethical producers in the industry
who would abide by their published policies to make it possible to
effect a fair degree of stabilization, in spite of the difficulties
involved. " (Unquote)
With the filing of September 22, 1933, there appeared a new cus-
tomer classification, known as "Wiring device manufacturers who have a
listing with Class A chain stores, and who operate under a sales agency
contract "
This classification was made in an effort to correct a situation which
had existed for a long time, whereby a manufacturer would designate an
agent (not a legal "agent") ana a contract would be signed between them.
The agent would obtain a "listing11 with Class A chains which would give
him a preferential position in the chains' purchases of material. This
arrangement, all "under cover", made it possible for the manufacturer to
9822
-280-
sell indirectly to the chains without the prices "being made public.
The effort on the part of the more responsible manufacturers to
brijg all such agreements out into the open failed, however, and the
classification was soon dropped.
(This is another reason why the price call on flexible cords was
cancelled.)

F3ACTI01kiL '-iQHSEPQUFdl WO^O'A PRICE FILING STUDY
'The Fractional Horsepower Motor Industry is comprised of 47 com-
panies. This studv is of 43 companies; four, "because of making non-
comparable motors, motors on special order or very limited lines are
not included. The price call issued under date of January 5th and
prices uere to "be filed "by January 29th,
'Fne scope of the industry is shown in the price call which is
attached hereto.
Thirt~-five of the members of the industry which are the subject
of this, study i have cooperated with each other over a period of years,
through "being members of the National electrical Manufacturers Associa-
tion and otherwise. For purposes of generality, the industry can "be
divided into two sections: sta,ndard companies and non-standard companies.
The non-standard can only he commented on individually. At the time of
the original filings, the stanr'ard companies' filings -comprised the fol-
lowing:
1. Classification of Purchasers and discounts to such classifications.
2. Terms of sale.
3. Deliver" Policy.
4. Definition of Classifications of Purchasers.
5. haltipliers (the use of multipliers is a departure from the normal
method of doing business, as specific companies are assigned speci-
fic 5-iscounts, rather than a. specific discount being given to a
special class).
6. Quantity discounts to all classes for unit shipment of 10 or more
motors.
7. Discount plan for Class G purchasers (resale machinery manufactur-
ers) "oa.sed on quantitv and shipping requirements.
3. Motor Pricesr
General Purpose and Special Application Motor Prices are both sub-
ject to discounts, etc.
9. Zlectrical Modifications.
10. Meclia.nical Modifications.
11. Motor dimensions.
This filing, as has been noted above, was effective as of January/- 29,
1934. Taereafter there wa.s two major filings by standard companies.
The first established a considerable increase in the quantitv dis-
counts to resaJ.e machinery manufacturers together with a general price
revision, slightly uoward. This filing was generally effective March 19,
1934.
The second major filing was generally effective November 5, 1934.
This filing increased the customer classification discounts, closing the
gap between the Class G a.nd other customers. The other filings were
quite desultory and unimportant.
9322
It will "be noted that due to increase in discounts, the customers
were paying a less price for fractional horsepower motors at the end of
the price filing period than the?/ were at its commencement As the orice
filing period was quite short, it is impossible to reach any conclusion
as to whether this decrease in net price was due to price filing or not.
Looking over the whole period of price filing "by members of this
industr3", the conclusion is inescapable that the end left the industry
practically as it found it in the "beginning
COMPANY jl
The original f ilmg of this company received on February 1, 1934
and effective the same date was on three types of motors on a list basis.
Prices were quoted f.o.b. factor?/, net cash 30 days or 2jo 10 days from
date of invoice. .Retail buyers received a 10)o discount on all motors
other than replusion capacitor single phase motors on which there was no
discount.
Dealers, central stations, manufacturers for resale or industrial
concerns paying in substantial quantities, received a discount of 20-10fi
except for the repulsion capacitor single phase motor where the ciscount
was 20fj.
Four companies were given special discounts not subject to further
discounts ranging from 30 to 35-l/3;1>. In addition, by agreement, pur-
chasers could obtain an annual quantity discount ranging from 2$ for in-
voicing totalling $1,000.00 to 10$ for invoicing totalling $25,000,000.

Class B Users are those doing an interstate business in one of the exten-
sively motorized industries specifically listed below, and, in addition,
purchasing motors 200 hp« (synchronous motors based on 1.0 p-f.) and smaller,
and controllers from the comoany at an average rate over a three-year period
of $2000 or more annually. Furthermore, to qualify in this class, the
industry must be the predominating part of the business of the purchaser
under consideration. For example, the predominating business of a comoany
might be paints but the same company might also manufacture chemicals from
which the paints are made. Such a company would not qualify under Class B
merely because of its incidental manufacture of chemicals since the predom-
inating business is manufacturing paints. Users engaged in industries not
specifically listed, automatically come within the "Class A User" designa-
tion. Users engaged in industries listed below but who are classed as A
Users because of previously 'our chasing in insufficient volume, will be class-
ed as 3 when their purchases at one time aggregate $6000 or more book value.

A subsidiary company which is more than 50 per cent owned bv the parent
company, may at the request of the parent company, purchase in its own
name and receive the parent company's multiplier (and purchases of both
will be combined as a basis for 3 qualification) provided the subsidiary
meets one of the two following requirements.:
1. Either a predominating part of the subsidiary company's
business must be recognized by the trade as being in the
identical specifically listed Class B industry in which
the pa-rent comoany i:
enga' pd:
QOin
-439-
2. Or 50 per cent or more of the subsidiary's output must be
utilized by the parent company and other subsidiaries regu-
larly qualifying under (l).
In these two cases it is not required that the subsidiary either
purchase constantly and in substantial volume or do an interstate business.
Subsidiaries of a Class A user are considered independently on their
own merits, and those which qualify are classified as B. This does not
affect the status of the parent company, which continues as Class A.
Class C Purchasers a.re central stations and central station holding
companies buying motors and/or controllers for resale to nonaffiliated
companies.
To qualify under Class C, a. central station, or a central station
holding company, must sell over 50$ of the electric power it generates
to companies (other than central stations) neither owned and controlled
by it nor owning and controlling it.
To qualify for a Central Station Motor Purchase Agreement, purchases
mace by a central station of motors, and/or controllers, for resale to
Les neither owned and controlled by it, nor owning and controlling
it, mast represent a majority of all such purchases made.
All subsidiary companies which are more than 50 per cent owned by
the agraemeni: holder, and which are regularly engaged in the business of
j. station -"electric lighting or distributing electric power for other
purposes, may, at the request of the parent company, purchase in their own
names and receive the parent company's multiplier. Industrial subsidia-
ries are treated independently on their own merits as Cla.ss A or Class B,
unless the subsidiary is over 50 per cent owned by the agreement holder
and over 50 per cent of the' subsidiary' s output is utilized by the parent
company and subsidiary central stations in which case the industrial sub-
sidiary may purchase in its own name and receive the parent company's
multiplier.
Class D Purchasers are resale motor dealers holding agreements with the
company .
A company or individual in order to qualify as a motor dealer must have
an established place of business with facilities suitable for the aggres-
e exploitation of motors and/or controllers as a separate item of
Companies that qualify under some other classification normall--,
:..- ■ be granted a dealer contract provided they have a separate electrical
department for the independent sale of motors' and/or controllers to non-
affiliated companies through which department it is readily possible to
.segregate all purchases.
Agreements are offered only to concerns willing to give efficient
and preferential service in the sale of motors and controllers for the
company.
The number of dealers in a given territory should not be chosen
according to the number of eligible companies, but with respect to the
9322
-440-
( Note 2 cont'd )
available Class A "business „ This requires that the number of dealers
be limited so 'that a division: of the available Class A business gives
each dealer a profitable :',:lold cf exploitation.
Class E are resale purchasers not otherwise c3.assified.
This class includes general building contractors, heating and venti-
lating contractors, plumbing contractors, contracting engineers, electri-
cal dealers not under agreement and all other resale purchasers who merelj^
resell electrical apparatus and/or controllers as an adjunct to, or inci-
dental to .j the sale of other products.
Class F Users are Federal, State, and Municipal Governments.
Class G- Purchasers are bona fide resale machinery manufacturers as
defined below:
A re rale machinery manufacturer is a producer from his owned or con-
trolled patents or.- in accordance with his own developed and organized
plan of a complete oower-driven product, to be equip;oec" by him with motors
and/ or controllers, which machine^ or ao-nliance has a recognized identity
and is acloiowledged by the trr.de as a distinct product which the purchaser
under consideration sells under his own trade name as a complete electri-
cally driven unit, of which the Class G purchaser is the primary source
of supply.
The m-incioles underlying the above definition contemplate that:
1. The Company Who. develops the basic idea and sells the
product to the trade is the real manufacturer.
2. We use normal and not artificial trade channels.
3. Established customers of our machinery manufacturers
already determined are not to be removed from the field
of profitable exploitation.
4o Provided the other conditions are met, a company is not
excluded from Class G by having parts of its machine of
appliance manufactured tiy other companies.
5. The purchaser under consideration is not required actually
to manufacture the motor-driven part provided he would not
normally sell, nor the user normally buy, his product
without the motor-driven part being incorporated, and in
adcLition, otherwise meets the requirements of the above
do.':initiono
The following examples are typical of cases where some part of the
functioning mechanism is purchased from other manufacturers as a unit,
which may be the only motor-driven part of the whole, such as a fan,
pump, or compressor, but .nevertheless the final product is readily iden-
tifiable as a separate and distinct machine:
9822
-441-
(liote 2 cont'd)
Vacuum cleaners, oil burners, paint-? spray machines, and gasoline-
dispensing machines.
Contractors, dealers, or agents who merely assemble and sell to the
user, even though under their on tr-1 ■'.< names, are Class H if authorized
agents of machinery manufacturers; otherwise they are Class E.
6. Resale agencies that are both owned and controlled by a
resale machinery manufacturer having a Motor Purchase
Agreement, may, at the request of the latter company,
purchase in their o,wn name for resale with machinery
manufactured by the, parent company and receive the
parent company's multiplier,
'".here the electricall1/' driven machinery is manufactured by a sub-
sidiary having a separate corporate identity and the parent company other-
wise qualifies under some other class, only purchases for resale with
such machinery made in the name of, and billed to, the subsidiary would
qualify under Class G.
In any case of doubt, refer all facts to the General Office for
ruling. Class G discounts must not be extended to so-called manufacturers,
such as rebuilders of second-hand machinery, grain-elevator builders,
tunnel builders, mill and factory builders, fabricating machine-shops
and the like, although many such customers may have more or less frequent
requirements for mechanical equipment requiring motor drive which is in-
tended for resale, as the effect of this would be to remove prospective
customers of resale machinery manufacturers from the field, of profitable
exploitation by the latter and otherwise dislocate natural trade channels
of distribution. The proper rating for all such customers is Class E
when purchasing for resale, and they must not be confused with Class G.
Class H Purchasers are authorized machinery dealers who are resale
outlets for machinery manufacturers ,(as defined under Class C-) and who
purchase motors and/or controllers for resale in connection with the
machines or machinery for which the;'- are selling representatives. Such
machinery dealers are frequently termed Manufacturers' Agents although
no lega.l relationship of agency may exist.
Machinery Manufacturers' Agents must not be confused with concerns
who merely install or resell machinery in connection with construction
and fabricating work or incidental to fulfilling a contract or completing
an assembled product. Such concerns are Class E.

Class A Users are those users who do not have multipliers assigned to
them. The disccnrnt to this class of user is determined by the size of
each individual order for motor policy motors, generators, and shipment
under the Company's shipping schedule, the Company being permitted to
make complete shipment within 90 days following the initial shipment.
If such order amounts to .§5,000 or more (computed at boo]: price), the
Class A user receives a Class 3 multiplier on that order and also becomes
a regular Class B user. The discount on industrial control is the same
as on the motors for which the control is sold.
Class 3 Users are those users who have definite multipliers assigned to
them. The users qualifying are those whose purchases, from a single
company.; of motor policy material (see pages 3 and 4), and. industrial
control have averaged $2,000 net or more annually during 1931, 1932, and
1933, or 1932, 1933, and 1934. All owned cr controlled siibsidiaries of
Class B purchasers may purchase in their own name at the multiplier of
the parent company. Any subsidiary which purchases for resale should
purchase at the multiplier to which its reselling activity entitles it,
but only that reselling subsidiary is entitled to the resale multiplier.
Class C Purchasers are central stations or central station holding com-
panies who sell over 50^ of the electric power they generate to companies
neither owned (or controlled) by- them, nor owning (or controlling) them.
In case a central station is part of (or is owned by) a purchaser who
qualifies in some other class, only ourchases made for central station
purposes receive Class C discount.
All central station or user subsidiary companies associated with
Class C purchasers may, at the request of the parent Class C purchaser,
buy in their own name at the parent company's multiplier either for .
their own use, or (in the case of central station subsidiaries) for . ,
resale to their customers.
TThen acting as consulting engineers, Class C purchasers receive
the discount to which their client is entitled.
Class D Purchasers are resale electrical dealers who hold I.iotor Dealer
Agreements with the Conroahy. A conroany or an individual, in order to
qualify for a Motor Dealer Agreement must have an established ;olace of
business where facilities are, maintained and used for the aggressive ex-
ploitation of motors and/or controllers as a separate item of sale.
Companies that qualify under some other classification normally may be
granted a Dealer Contract provided they have a separate electrical
department for the independent sale of motors and/or controllers to
nonaffiliated companies mid it is readily possible to segregate all
purchases made through this department.

Since some confusion has exLstec between the classification of
motor dealers and electrical contractors, lie latter class, is specifi-
cally defined as folio ■ . :
Electrical contractors normally offer for sale a service in
the form of erecting, installing, altering, re tairing.,
servicing or maintaining electric wiring devices, appliances,
or equipment, including the purchasing from suppliers and the
selling of manufactured parts ana products, incorporated in
such installation in accordance with specifications which the
contractor bids. These companies do not qualify for Motor
Dealer Agreements.
Motor dealers do installation, repair ,. .and maintenance work as a
necessary adjunct to the sale of electrical equipment and are not inelig-
ible because of this similarity to electrical contractors.
Electrical contractors sell equipment as a necessary adjunct to the
sale of their services and are not eligible for Motor Dealer Agreements
because of this similarity to motor dealers.
In the first case, the normal and principal item of sale in any
transaction is apparatus ; in the second case, the normal and principal
item of sale is a service.
Class 3 are resale purchasers not otherwise classified.
This class includes electrical contractors, general building con-
tractors, heating and ventilating contractors, plumbing contractors,
contracting engineers, electrical dealers not under agreement and all
other resale purchasers who merely resell electrical apparatus and/or
controllers as an adjunct to, or incidental to, the sale of other pro-
ducts or services.
Class F Users are federal, state, county, and municipal governments,
municipal central stations, and all educational institutions.
A Class G- Purchaser is a purchaser known to the trade as the original
source of supply for a complete power- ope rated pxxluct, which he equips
with motors, generators, motor-generators, or controllers, and sells or
leases under either his own name or his trade name as a. complete unit
inclusive of the electrical equipment. Such purchasers are not required
to actually manufacture the motor-driven part, provided they would not
normally sell (nor would the user normally buy) their product without
the motor-driven part being incorporated.
Contractors, dealers, or agents who merely assemble and sell to the user
without producing a new product are Class H if authorized agents of a
Class G purchaser; otherwise they are Class .3.
Class G-3 Purchasers are those Class G purchasers whose purchases, from
a single company, of motor policy material (see pages 3 and 4), and in-
dustrial control have averaged $2,000 net or more annually during 1931,
1932, and 1933, or 1932, 1933 and. 1934.

machinery made in the mime of, and billed to, the subsidiary would
qualify under Class G (of G-B) ■
In any case of doubt, refer all facts to the General Office for
ruling, Class G- or G-B discounts must not be extended to 'so-called
manufacturers, such as rebuilders of second-hand machinery, grain-eleva-
tor builders, tunnel builders, mill and factory builders, fabricating
machine shops ana the like. The proper rating for all such purchasers
is Class E when purchasing for resale.
Class H Purchasers are authorized machinery dealers who are resale out-
lets for Class G (or G-B) purchasers and who purchase for resale in con-
nection with the power-operated product for which they are selling
representatives. Such machinery dealers are frequently termed Manufac-
turers' Agents although no legal relationship of agency may exist.
• Machinery Manufacturers' Agents must not be confused with concerns
who merely install or resell machinery, in connection with construction
and fabricating work or incidental to fulfilling a contract or completing
an assembled product. Such concerns are Class E.
Class HB Purchasers are those Class H purchasers' whose purchases, from
a single company, of motor policy material (see pages 3 and -i) and in-
dustrial control have averaged $1,000 net or more annually during 1931,
1932, and 1933 or 1932, 1933 and 1934.
