Brake Lining Group
Fined $4,000 on
Antitrust Charges
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Federal
Judge Edward A. Conger today
imposed fines totaling $3.50
against the Brake Lining Manu-
facturers' Association, Inc, of
New York, II corporate members
and 9 individual officials.
The action was taken after they
withdrew innocent pleas and plead
ed no contest to three criminal
antitrust indictments.
In addition to the fines, the asso-
citation was ordered dissolved and
the defendants agreed to abandon
the alleged illegal practices charged
in the indictments.
The indictments charged that the
defendants had entered into three
separate conspiracies to fix prices
discounts, classifcations of GUS
toners and terms and conditions of
sales on replacement brake Innings
and clutch facings.
S45,00O,000 Business.
J. Francis Hayden, chief Of the
Antitrust Division of the Justice
Department in New York City, said
the three cases involved a Nation
wide industry, 96 per cent of which
operated under a controlled price
structure affecting all users of auto
mobiles, trucks and industrial equip
ment.
MIR. Hayden asserted the defend
ants involved in the three cases did
$45, 900 900 worth of business annu-
ally with distributors who resold the
Innings and facings, as well as with
municipal, State and Federal agen-
cies, who bought directly from them.
The indictments charged that all
sales and all resales at the various
levels of distribution in the industry
were made at prices agreed on by
the defendants.
Lester D. Stickles, counsel to the
Brake Lining Manufacturers Asso-
citation, said, in entering the no.
contest plea, while the association
pleads nolo contendere to the in
dictment charging violations of the
antitrust laws, it desires also to
apprise the court of certain facts. ="
Practices Started Under NRA.
The statement continued:
THE violations charged are based
directly on practices and procedures
established under the guidance and
at the insistence of the National
Recovery Administration. This was
at time when the United States
Government was actively engaged In
promotion of uniformity in industry
and of fair practices among CON-
petitors.
"As a matter of fact, the same
standards were required in connec-
ton with all bids submitted on Gov
ernment purchases of brake Innings
and clutch facings.
when the computation Of list
price factors was discontinued by
the association because of these
indictments, a representative of the
Navy Department protested vigor-
ously, pointing to the confusion
which would result from dropping
standards in use since the NRA."

ACCIDENTS:
100000 Deaths

Possibly the most shocking set Of
statistics compiled year in and year
out in the U. S. is that dealing with
the nations accidental death rate.
In 1947, National Safety council
has disclosed, about 100,000 persons
died accidentally The full accident
toll was approximately 1000 deaths
higher than in 1916.
Accidents in the home accounted
for majority of all the deaths list
ed by the council. There were "a, 500
such fatalities. The total also in
cluded $4,000 traffic and 1900 oc-
cupational deaths.
Some of the other facts released
in the annual report:
More people died in disasters last
year than in 1946-550 in the stu
pendous Texas City explosion, 1877 in
Texas-Oklahoma tornado, Ill in
the Centralia, ILL.,. mine blast, and
1913 in airplane crashes.
Total of 10000 deaths resulted
from rural traffic accidents, while
city traffic accidents accounted for
II, 400 fatalities.

Wheat was down from $3.13 to $500,
oats from STAT to IA cents. Further
decreases are inevitable when this
years great yield makes itself felt.
Generally. cheaper grain means
cheaper feed for livestock. Cheap
er feed means less expensive meat
in the butcher shop.
This apparently certain relief
from the high cost of living is not
just around the corner, however.
It lies somewhere in the middle
future. Prices probably will con-

NEW LOW:
Bitterness

OOS~Os sSOOO
While American, British and
French ambassadors in Moscow
were grimly making peace talk
with Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
TOW in the Kremlin, general relations
between the East and West were
sliding to new depths Of mutual re-
elimination.
This state of affairs was not eased
any by unsubstantiated reports that
the Moscow talks had degenerated
into deadlock and that no progress
was being made.
For the most part, however, the
animosity was being spread through
raucous propaganda by Berlin
newspapers, with the publications
sponsored by the Russians and the
western powers waging pitched
battle of words.
The British-licensed paper Tele-
graaf reported that the Soviets were
getting ready to move great num-
bers of new troops into Germany
and that Russia was pressing to-
ward sole rule over all of Berlin"
Soviet propaganda instruments,
meantime, renewed their overall
attacks on the West, demanding
that the Berlin city council be oust-
ed and that the whole city be made
part of the Soviet zonal administra-
ton
Regardless of any truth implicit
in the Berlin newspaper fight it was
obvious that the vindictive battle
would do much more harm than
good to relations between the two
power spheres.
It was equally obvious that there
was more bitterness and fear at
work in Berlin than there was a
rational understanding of how to
cope with the crisis.
