Department of Justice brought formal chargee of illegal price fixing against 247 business corporations during IMS—the year of highest prices in American history, a surrey disclosed this week. These business concerns, some of them the largest in the country, are among the 314 firms brought into court for violating the anti trust laws last fear. A complete list ef the firms against which price-fixing, monop oly or other anti-trust charges were filed by the Justice Depart ment last year is published for the first time on pages 4 and 6 of this issue of The Machinist. Altogether price-fixing arrange ments were turned up by the Jus tice Department in 19 industries in which the concerns avoid com petition on prices by agreement or understanding to charge identical prices for their products. Herbert A. Bergson, assistant attorney general in charge of the Anti-trust Division, told The Ma chinist that only once before in history have so many business cor porations been apprehended in a single year for illegal price fixing. Of the suits filed last year, 186 corporations were charged in civil proceedings while 152 firms have been indicted under the criminal provisions of the anti-trust laws. These include 24 corporations against which the Department has brought both civil and criminal charges. Bergson disclosed that in the fu ture most price-fixing charges will be criminal proceedings. “In mp opinion,” he declared, “most price-fixing cases should be criminal. At times, though, we run into price fixing situations where an association or an exchange was the medium through which the price-fixing arrangements were made. In some of those cases it is necessary to seek a court order dis solving the association or ex change."-—Tie Machinist. Hartley Gets "Bronx Cheer" At C. of C. Spill That G.OJ*. liability, Fred Hart lay, continues to flit from one Chamber of Commerce meeting to another, defending (at so much per) that law he wrote along with Sen. Taft and a staff of NAM lawyers. Recently he addressed the Queens (N.Y.) Chamber of Commerce and called the law a potential force for “great industrial peace.” He then expressed regret that there has been a great deal of em phasis in the wrong direction” since Not. t, and clamor to repeal it. It's obvious what a union work er would say to such an argument But imagine Mr. Hartley’s shock when one of the businessmen at tending the dinner shouted: “Boloney!” Now, how do you suppose that “union agitator” ever wormed his way into the Queens Chamber of Commerce.—N.
