Treble Damage Suit
Fabric Makers Accused
Of Overchoree Settle
First Case of Kind
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30-Cash
settlement of the first treble
damage suit brought by the OPA
against a manufacturer for
charging in excess of lawful CELL
ing prices was announced today
by Sylvan L. Joseph, regional
OPA administrator.
A. D. Juillard and Co., Inc. one
Of the largest fabric manufacturers
in the world, agreed to pay $41o,-
1881 to the Government, at the
same time signing consent decree
under which the company agreed
not to violate provisions of maxi
mum price regulation 1853, covering
woolen and worsted civilian fabrics.
Mr.. Joseph said.
The settlement was termed by Mr.
Joseph "a significant legal victory. >"
He said 1t represents three times the
specific overcharges of $136, ,739. II
established in respect to the sale of
fabrics named in a suit filed Novem-
Der 10 In United States District
Court by Lester C. DUNCAN, chief
enforcement attorney for the district
OPA ofiice.
Company's Statement.
Robert Westaway, Juillard presi-
dent, in a statement regarding set
tlement of the action, said that "the
issues in this action arose from di-
vergent interpretations by the COM
pany and by the Once of Price Ad-
ministration of regulation 1863 which
determines the price classification
into which certain of the company's
fabrics fall"
Mr.. Westaway's statement added
that "this company has not con-
ceded any violation OF the law, nor
has 1t been asked to make such con-
cession. The issues OF. the ac-
ton have been put aside to permit
both the company and the once of
Price Administration to get on with
the paramount business of contrib
uting to the successful prosecution
of the war"
Mr.. Joseph said the settlement is
the largest payment to the Govern
ment ever made under the Price
Control Act of 1912 which provides
that the administrator may sue for
three times the amount of over
charges whenever manufacturer
or wholesaler violates ceiling prices
established by the act.
OPA Right Heed Established.
Settlement of the action, Mr..
Joseph said, clearly establishes the
legal right of the OPA to invoke
''' the treble e-damage provision"
with one of the largest manufac-
turers now under injunction to abide
by the proper ceiling prices" Mr..
Joseph added, "other producers '''
may be expected to do likewise.
The net result will be
that garment manufacturers are, in
effect, assured that the OPA is
determined to make every effort to
enable them to purchase fabrics at
ceiling prices" oF -
OPA attorneys explained that
