Among the retailers’ - complaints is the charge that certain manu facturers, in anticipation of the approval of permanent codes, built up huge stocks of merchandise which ,they are now forcing on | the retailers at exorbitapt prices iwith the explanation that in | creased costs under the code are | responsible. { In a specific case, Jolinson's an | nouncement continues, it is as " serted that one manufacturer in |creased the price of his Product 5175 .percent within a few hours .exfter the code for his industzs | was approved.
