...touched off the dispute with Antitrust when it ruled that Eastman Kodak Co. may sign Fair-Trade contracts with independent retailers, even though these retailers compete with Kodak's own retail stores. Nobody was more surprised at FTC's decision than the trustbusters.

...that the door has opened for competitors to enter the Kodachrome and Kodacolor finishing business, some shops thought they could cut 50^ off Eastman's developing charge. With fair-trade restrictions off, cut-rate photo shops expect to cut the price of Kodak color film...
