U. S. BRINGS CHARGE AGAINST RUBBER CO. Violation of Clayton Act Alleged in Complaint Based on Fisk- Federal Merger.

The company, described as a manu- facturer of tires for automobiles, trucks, motor eyeles and bieye of inner tubes and other rubb prod- ucts, was charged with substantially lessening competition by acquiring approximately 51 per cent of the stock or share capital of the Federal Rubber Co. of Cudahy, Wis. The lat- ter concern, it was alleged, previously had taken over the physical assets of the Federal Rubher Manufac Co. of Cudahy. 'The usual 30 days is allowed in which to answer the com- plaint. i; © i against Commis- sioner that, prior to the alleged stock transaction, the evi- dence did not show there had been any really “substantial” competition between the two companies. “Where there 18 any competition at all between two combining com- panies, it is always substantially les- sened in the sense given the statute by the majority. There being no al- legation that the competition between | n the companies was ‘substantial’ it may well be that the competition was unsubstantial and inconscquential, and, indeed, under the well settled rules of pleading, such would be the prosumption.” Shortest Will Recorded.
