U.S. to Overlook Price Cut Combine

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P). —The justice department will not bring anti-trust suits against corporations which get together to reduce prices if their aim is an honest attempt to lower living costs, it was learned today. It will bring suit, however, if it finds sucn an agreement is a coverup for an attempt to drive weaker and unwanted competitors from the field. President Truman said yesterday he hoped the department could find ways to permit cost-of-living cuts, but pointed out the supreme court has held that such agreemefits among competing companies are violations of anti-trust laws. Atty. Gen, Tom C. Clark, after studying the situation, sald supreme court decisions, particularly in the Madison oil -case in 1940, held that price-fixing among competitors was “nermally subject to the condemnation of the .aw.” Mr, Clark's use of the word “normally,” however, left the door open to some such agreements. Mr. Clark sald he saw no reason why competitors should have to get together to cut prices. But he promised “special study” In cases where competitors felt they must move in concert.
