la The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, U.S. elec trical manufacturing companies found guilty of violating federal antitrust laws have been fined about two million dollars. In addi tion, seven executives of these concerns have been sentenced to jail terms. There can be no ap peal from the fines and jail sen tences, since all the convicted corporations and men had plead ed guilty. All the defendants were charged with price-fixing and bid-rigging in the sale of electrical equip ment for generating, transmitting and distributing electrical power. It is inexcusable, of course. De liberate violation of the law is NEVER excusable. But . Let's look at the whole pic ture. If asked why they did it, these representatives of one of America's largest industries might say something like this: "In employing labor, which rep resents one of the largest items in our production costs, we arc faced by a giant monopoly. We can't deal with individuals on the basis of what each individual asks in the way of wages. We must, deal with giant unions that have MONOPOLY POWER to enforce their demands. "If we are to make a profit, under such restrictions, we must get HIGHER PRICES. If we are to get prices high enough to yield a profit on our investment, we must ELIMINATE COMPETI TION AMONG OURSELVES. "That is about the only recourse left to us." It isn't an adequate answer, of course. But. inadequate though it is, it poses this searching question: If we are to forbid combina tions in restraint of trade, includ ing agreements on prices to be charged, among those who repre sent industry, must we not even ?ially forbid similar combina ' "lions among those who represent LABOR? Sooner or later, we must find an answer to that question. Or- Sooner or later WE WILL FIND OURSELVES PRICED OUT OF WORLD MAR KETS. That raises another question: If we are priced out of world marked hrv are w going to FIND EMPLOYMENT for all of our people who must have jobs if they are to survive? The problems raised hy these antitrust convictions call for a lot of serious thought. Weather Klamath Falls and vicinity Partly cloudy with showers to night and Saturday.
