LOUIS SETS PRECEDENT; FINES OF $96,000 NSSEooED JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Aug., 81. (By The Associated Press—Missourt has scored a complete victory over the new form of. business combina- tions known as “open price asso- clations,” in a sult brought by At- torney General Jesse W. Barrett against the St. Louis Lumber Trade change. The Missouri Supreme Court ousted each of the nineteen St. Louls lumber companies com- posing the Exchange, assessed fines totaling $96,000 and ousted the Ex- change itself | The court sustained the attorney general in holding that the combina- tion violated the state anti-trust Jaws, even though it did not direct- y fix prices. So far as is known, s the first decision of any state court on the points involved and follows closely the decision of . the United States Supreme Court last year in the hardwood lumber cases, according to Attorney General Bar. rett After the anti-trust dictsions of federal and state courts some fifteen years ago, holding that it was 1! jlegal for competitors to come together and agree upon prices, lawyers over the country began searching for a method which would keep within the law and yet advance the interests of thelr clients, the at to: ney general said, 4 plan was found which has been generally called ‘The open price as- sociation plan,” according to Mr. Barrett, whereby competing com- panies formed a central association with a manager and secretary and reported to it all prices on sales by members. The association regulat- ed the terms of credit and the gen eral business practices of its mem- bers, and provided for co-operation that went far but stopped short of the actual fixing of prices. Books were written describing the plan as “The New Competition,” and it was believed, the attorney general said, that the method would be proof against prosecution by the state or federal authorities, Attorney General Barett main- tained that the net effect of the plan was to lessen the full and free competition which the Missourt laws require and to impose upon the public much higher prices. The court in a sweeping decision declar- ed that the Missourl statutes forbid not only agreements to lessen com- petition, but agreements which tend to lessen it. The decision said that the very creation of a system of ma- chinery which can be improperly used, is in itself a violation of the Missouri law. The court find that the increased cost of lumber was due to other factors as well, such s higher freight rates and greater por costs, but condemned the lum ber exchange in most positive terms.
