COMPLAINT IS MADE - BY TRADE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, March 8.—Contracts under which refiners and wholesalers of gasoline install pumps and tanka for retailers on the condition that they are not to be used for handling the product of competitors was under discussion in the supreme court today In four cases brought by the federal trade commis sion against the Sinclair Refining com pany, the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, the Gulf Refining com pany, and the Maloney Oil Manufactur ing company. These cases involved proceedings brought by the commission against about 30 wholesalers and sought to at tack present gasoline retail practices prevailing throughout the United States. The commission contended the contracts had the effect of restricting competition because they deterred re finers from seeking the trade of re tailers using apparatus Installed by competitor^. The refiners and wholesalers asserted that in most instances the retailers were set up in business by them; that the retailers had the option of pur chasing tanks and pumps; that such apparatus could be purchased by-* .the retailers in the open market, and that the contracts did not prohibit the <}eal ens from installing the apparatus of more than one rptiner. It was asserted also that the business was devoid of all interstate commerce features be cause the gasoline distributed had ceased to be in interstate commerce I and that therefore it was not a matter | under the control of the federal trade commission. The decisions of the lower courts in all the cases were adverse to the con tentions of the federal trade commis sion.
