Railway spokesmen say these changes could mean additional expenses of close to 360,000,000 a year for the companies. The unions say that figure is much too high, but have not made public their estimate.

Gov'l ToPiess Charges For Price Filing

0fI'rAWA. (CIP) -The govern. ment has decided to press price- fixing charges against portions of C a n a d a's s124,ooo.ooo electrical wire and cable manufacturing in- dustry.

Tcn companies-including the lndustryts "big four"-were named in A combines report last Novem-

ber whlch charged them with making a "mockery" of competit- ive bidding.

Justice Minister Gcrson An-

nounced the move in the Com- nions Monday and said the exact parties to be prosecuted will be determined later when evidence is examined in preparation for trial.

J. D. Arnup. Toronto lawyer who advised Mr. Garson on the move. will be retained as the gov- ernment's prosecutor Mi. Arnup advised that prosecutions were warranted against some or all of the manufacturers involved. Trials likely will take place in Toronto.

The 18-month combines inquiry was initiated in l952 when the government received complaints by local hydro groups that aims were making identical and non-compe- litive bids on tenders for electrical equipment.

Nearly Entire Industry

Special coinblnes commissioner l-l.Carl Gcldenberg. in naming the 10 companies-virtually the entire industry-said the alleged com- bine had been established for some 41 years.

He charged that the companies, by agreeing and arranging to sub- mit identical bids on tenders. "have vitiated and made A mock- cry of the system of competitive

bidding which has long been es-r

ta-blished for the express purpose of protecting the public interest."

He said evidence showed that the companies tried to "conceal" their price-fixing arrangements and made an attempt to "dis- guise" the fact that net prices were identical.
