Chapter I—Federal Trade Commission (2) Exemptions. The inhibitions of this section shall not apply to purchases of their supplies for their own use by schools, colleges, universities, publle li- braries, churches, hospitals, and chari- table institutions not operated for profit. Nore: In complaint proceedings charging discrimination in price or services or facili- tles furnished, and upon proof having been made of such discrimination, the burden of rebutting the prima facie case thus made by showing justification shall be upon the per- son charged; and unless justification shall be affirmatively shown, the Commission is au- thorized to issue an order terminating the discrimination: Provided, however, That nothing contained in this section shall pre- vent a seller rebutting the prima facle case thus made by showing that his lower price or the furnishing of services or facilities to any purchaser or purchasers was made in good faith to meet an equaliy low price of a com- petitor, or the services or facilities furnished by a competitor. See section 2 (b), Clayton Act. $36.25 Aiding or abetting use of un- fair trade practices. It is an unfair trade practice for any person, firm, or corpora- tion to aid, abet, coerce, or induce an- other, directly or indirectly, to use or promote the use of any unfair trade practice specified in the rules in this part. GROUP It § 36.101 Shipping chicks to fictitious consignees, etc. The industry condemns the practice of disposing of chicks by shipping them to fictitious consignees or without an order from, or consent of, the consignee, necessitating the sale of such undeliverable shipments at public auc- tion by agents of the common carrier in order to secure payment for transporta- tion costs. Such practice is deemed by the industry to be harmful to the chicks and to facilltate the spread of disease. § 36.102 Failure to give notice of change in shipping schedule. The in- dustry condemns the practice of failing to give proper notice to customers of any change in shipping schedule thereby causing inconvenience and loss to pur- chasers.
