SMASHING URGED

The commission, working on evidence collected by Combines Investigator T. D. MacDonald. charged that since 1945 the com- bine to boost and fix prices and restrict competition was centrally operated through a trade organ- ization known as Dominion Paper- board Limited of Montreal.

It urged this organization be smashed and steps be taken to block growth of any new price- fixing apparatus. It asked also that boxuoard manufacturers stop collecting facts and figures on each other's operations.

If these moves do not free the t Industry. the three-man commis- sion said. steps should be taken to slash or eliminate tariffs. The industry currently is protected by a tariff of 221-; per cent. MEMBERSHIP LIST

The commission said the manu- facturers boosted prices seven times in the 1947-53 period. Each time the increases were uniform. Four were initiated by Dominion Paperboard. two by Hinde and Dauch and one by Gair.

Canadian price rises lagged he- hind those in the U.S. but in the end they reached a higher

The manufacturers also were. reported to have agreed that Dominion Paperboard Ihould have access to their books and other records dealing with box- board. No penalties were evident for nun-compliance of arrange- ments.

DEFENIY ARRAGEMENT

The member companies argued The Dominion Paperboard ar- rangement was an honest attempt to live within the law and to eliminate practices found objec- tionable in the shipping materials combines case. Prices established were fair and reasonable, related directly to costs. and had not kept

pace with the rise in costs.

They also argued that through industry co-operation there ac- tually was somc restraint exei-. clsed on rising prices. The co- operation would help prevent de- pression and provide greater security for employees.

The commission agreed that the P companies of Domln. Ion Paperboard had shown some tendency to restrain the advance In boxboard prices when prices generally were on the rise.

But ”it cannot be shown that the level of prices eventually reached was lower than It would have been otherwise. In fact. whatever Indications may be found in the scanty data avail- able, suggest. If anytrlng. the op- posite conclusion."
