Test case of the constitutionality of New York's Feld-Crawford Fair Trade Act of 1935 was Doubleday, Doran & Co., Inc., publishers, v. Manhattan's R. H. Macy & Co. (TIME, Nov. 18, 1935). No facts were disputed. Macy's admitted selling books at prices lower than those agreed upon between Doubleday, Doran and its retail affiliate. New York Supreme Court Justice Frederick P. Close decided Macy's could sell books at whatever price it chose, declared the Feld-Crawford Act unconstitutional (TIME, Nov. 25, 1935). Opined he: "The act attempts to give to private persons unlimited...
Last December, in cases involving California's Pep Boys and Illinois' Old Dearborn Distributing Co., the U. S. Supreme Court unanimously held that those States' anti-price-cutting laws were not in conflict with the U. S. Constitution (TIME, Dec. 21).

...weighs wisely whatever evidence has been unearthed concerning the painter of the Isenheim Alter; shows that his name was not actually Gruenewald but Gothart, that he studied and lived in the Rhine-Main region of Franconia, that he was a court painter for two archbishops of Mainz; that he feld some sympathy with Luther, but remained a Catholic; that he died, like Albrecht Duerer, in 1528.

...White Plains Supreme Court Justice Frederick P. Close declared the Feld-Crawford Act unconstitutional. Test case on this New York State Fair Trade Act was brought when Doubleday, Doran & Co., publishers, sued R. H. Macy for retailing books below a price made binding, by the terms of the Feld-Crawford Act, on all New York State retailers because the publisher had agreed upon that price with one retailer: Doubleday, Doran Bookshops, Inc. (TIME, Nov. 18). Judge Close ruled that such price-fixing was outside the State's power, that its method was arbitrary, put too much power...
...Feld-Crawford Act, passed by the New York Legislature last spring, is closely modeled on a California act passed in 1931. It permits the manufacturer of a trademarked article to fix the resale price of his product. If any retailer contracts not to sell the article below the specified price, this price is binding on all other retailers, even if they have not signed such a contract. Doubleday (publishing house) contracted with Doubleday (booksellers) to sell Vogue's Book of Etiquette at not less than $3, the Garden Notebook at not less than $1.50, and Novelist Ruby Ayres...
