MERGERS

Noting a steadily increasing
trend toward corporation mergers

inquiries into mergers, disposed ot

year end. Two complaints were
referred to the Justic Department
for possible prosecution.
In its chain store inquiry the
commission reported finding evi
dence that manufacturers made
frequent special discounts to the
chains without definite relation
to cost or selling"
To curb the practice it asked
the Clayton Act be amended to
require manufacturers of all but
perishable goods selling in inter
state commerce Immediately to

published to the trade.
Seeking clearer jurisdiction owe

There are times when such a

injured, rather than individual

difficult, if not impossible, to show
injury to competitors, but the in
