In the early hours of Tuesday morning it ended a public session at which dry cleaners from all over the country who had not raised their prices to the levnls set by their code were given one more chance to do so voluntarily. A small handful complied, ten or so asked a day’s time to con sult with lawyers or principals, the majority simply failed to be represented, and a dozen, includ ing the biggest, refused. Some told NRA to bring on its federal trade commission prosecu tors, others pleaded that higher prices would ruin them. And trade commission representatives in the room Jjotted down the names of the objectors for further consider ation. Officials showed clearly their recognition that this was a criti cal pas Sage for NRA.
