FTC Accuses Five
Drug Companies
Of Price-Fixing
Patent Fraud Is
Leveled at Two
Washington - (UPD - The
Federal Trade Commission
Saturday accused five leading
U. S. drug manufacturers of
conspiring to fix prices of tet
racycline, a multi million
dollar antibiotic, in a "quiet
smothering of competition."
The wonder drug is used
to combat a wide range of
bacterial infections.
In an unprecedented move,
the five - man commission
also claimed the right to take
steps to limit or completely
halt enforcement of drug pat
ents by two of the firms,
Chas. Pfizer and Co., In., and
American Cyanamid com
pany. The FTC charged they
had obtained the patents un
fa 1 r 1 y by withholding im
portant Information from the
U. S. Patent office.
Firms Charged
The other three firms char
ged were Bristol - Myers com
pany and Bristol Labora
tories, Inc., Olin Mathieson
Chemical corp. (Squibb), and
the Upjohn company. .
Pfizer and Bristol - Myers
promptly denied the allega
tions. They and Cyanamid
said they would appeal to the
federal courts.
The FTC said that Pfizer
has held the tetracycline pat
ents for 17 years, reaping po
tential sales of more than a
billion dollars. Sales of the
drug, "probably the leading
antibiotic on , the market to
day," it said, have run more
than $100 million a year.
The FTC, reversing a hear
ing examiner's findings, or
dered the five manufacturers
to scrap all price lists for tet
racycline and publish . new
prices independently, "based
on individual manufacturing
and overhead costs, desired
margins of profits and "other
lawful considerations."
The price - policing agency
gave each firm a deadline of
60 days from the date of its
final order, which was not
specified. An FTC attorney
indicated the commission
would first study and issue
a second order dealing with
the Pfizer and Cyanamid pat
ents. Prospect PTA Float

Another Timber

Contract Accord
Portland, Ore. -(UPD- Anoth
er member of the Timber Op
erators council joined the fold
as the' 67-day-old Pacific
Northwest lumber strike con
tinued to near an end Satur
day.
Representatives of the Ed
ward Hines Lumber Co. and
the striking International
Woodworkers of America and
the Lumber and Sawmill
Workers' unions reached
agreement on a three - year
contract. The firm has been
struck.
The proposed pact, which
calls for 30'2 cents an hour
raise in wages and benefits
during the next three years,
must be ratified by 2,500 IWA
and LSW members who work
for the company.
Referendum ballots on the
proposed contract will be sent
to the firm's employees. The
results are expected to be
known by Tuesday.
The agreement came after
three other TOC members -Wallamette
Valley Lumber
Co., Santiam Lumber Co. and
Pope and Talbot, Inc. - reach
ed agreement on a three-year
contract Friday. (See story on
page 2A.)
Edward Hines and the other

Key Issues Near
Head in Railroad
Dispute - Wirtz
Washington -(UPD- Secretary
of Labor W. Willard Wirtz
said Saturday that negotia
tions on two key issues in the
snarled railroad rules dispute
should come to a head early
this week.
He indicated he expects un
ion and management repre
sentatives to be' near the decision-making
point by Wed
nesday. But he declined to
speculate whether an agree
ment would emerge from bar
gaining on suggestions he of
fered Aug. 2 in an effort to
reach an accord and prevent
a nationwide strike.
Congress has delayed action
on anti-strike legislation pro.
posed by President Kennedy,
pending outcome of Wirtzs
negotiations.
Wirtz told United Press In
ternational he had proposed
a two or three year contract
to dispose of the two most
disputed issues - displacement
of firemen and reduction in
crew sizes.
Discussion Basis
- Both sides accepted this as
a basis for discussions t n a t
have taken place this week
under Wirtz's direction. '
"Negotiations with respect
to these two issues and per
haps with respect to all of
them ought to come to a cli
max in the first part of next
week," the secretary said.
Asked if this would be the
final stage in the four-year-
old bargaining, Wirtz replied:
"It will be only if it results
in agreement." He has said
repeatedly he will not give
up his efforts to achieve a
voluntary settlement. But un
ion and management officials
did not express optimism on
prospects for a negotiated pact
following last week's media
tion sessions.
Wirtz spent Saturday morn
ing discussing the use of fire
men on freight and yard die
sets with the four-man man
agement team headed by J. E.
Wolfe, chief industry nego
tiator. The railroads' demand
for elimination of 37,000 fire
men in these jobs hH.t been
the main stumbling block to
an agreement.

FPC Gas Order
