Abstract
Under the general heading of restrictive trade practices, we are concerned with two particular activities. First, collusive agreements made between firms in an industry, which impose restrictions on such things as the prices to be charged, conditions of sale, or quantities to be supplied. Second, the stipulation by the manufacturer of a price at, or above, which the retailer must resell his product (called resale price maintenance — R.P.M.) if he is not to run the risk of having sanctions applied against him.
