FES TRUSTS’ GRP | BROKENBY “OPEN PRICE” DECISION pane eer { Mr. Untermyer Believes Ru'-| ing Clears Way to Smashing | Many Combines. | The decision of the United States| ) Supreme Court yesterday that the| lender of No. 324 Newport Avenue, ) er Max Cohen of No. 816 South Fourth herman act forbidding restraint of! street, Maurice Willinger of No. 430 f; Competition is violated by the “open{ rice” system (by which groups en- ®aged in the same lines maintain a} central office through which they con-| stantly communicate to each the amount of their stocks their n hand, intended production and prices at which they are making en | tracts) gave the greatest satisfaction) to members of the Lockwood com-| mittee. The committee devoted weeks of its sessions last spring to a di closure of the “open price" system) and its effect in keeping up prices in| the buikling trades. The Washing-| ton decision was given in the case of) the American Hardwood Manufactur- ers’ Association, a combination of 603 | corporations and individuals. Samuel Untermyer, of counsel to the Lockwood committee, said that} though tho committee had uncovered | fifty “open prico groups” in tie build. | ing trades it had crossed the trails} of many in other lines of business. At least two of the witnesses before the | committee were managers of infor- | mation pools for scores of different | bueinesses as well as for building ma- terial men. He said: “There are hundreds of these con- spiracies involving thousands of merchants operating all over the | country, adding to the cost of living / in almost every lino, und new ones | are being formed almost daily. | “This decision clears the way for| the conviction of hundreds of firms and corporations in the building in- dustry that are already under ‘indict- ment or on our list, of which the members of the Cement Trust are the chief offenders.” Leonard M, Wallstein, who was as- sociate counsel to the Lockwood committee during its inquiry into the! American Hardwood Manufacturers’ Association and other combines, sa'd the decision was “of tremendous im- portance.” By the “open price’ system the members of an association employ a| Secretary to whom they send infor- | mation about production, sales and prices. His business is to ‘dissemt- nate this information among all other members to enable them to keep | thelr prices uniform, they knov ag} the others are “standing pat” on their | Nassau County authorities asser other |‘ INVESTIGATING WOMAN’S DEATH, FIND WHISKEY MILL.
