A—.. UUd Press Dispatch
-Wo utiWtnn A|tf 7—Mothrxla nllog.
cd by tlif Federal Trade Commission
have been used by manufacturers
ot farm implements to advance prices
through "concerted action" arc de-
Bfilb. d. it became known today, in a
report of the commission's investiga-
tion which was aiilitorlzed by the Son-
aU*.
Tin* commission announced last
nlk'ht tlnjt it liad recomentled the re-
opening of a ntl-trnst proceedings
against the International Harvester
Company and the institution of court
proceeding against employment, man-
ufdeturer* amf dealers who, the com-
mission asserted, have Illegally in-
« eas( d prices.
Its investigation. the Trade Couinds-
wlt.ij do; :.nrrrt; tUst-losed-that -between-
lit It unci l! ls prices of farm Imple-
ments advanced 7"> per Cent. Ad-
vances in the costs and expenses of
manufacturers and dealers did not
warrant, the commission said, an in-
crease of this amount.
Discussing met hods which the com-
mission charges oflieers and members
of Implement manufacturers' associa-
tions used to bring about and main-
tain high price levels, the report
states that "price comjMirison meet-
ings" were held at which "advances
In prbvs recently made or intended to
be made were discussed."
Meetings also. wetedheld. it is churn-
cd,( at which "inflated^ costs were
compared with the tacit understand-
ing that prices would Is* advanced the
same .'♦crecntage sludvn by the Inflat-
ed costs," and at which '.'agreements
were made respecting uniform terms"
and the "stundardi^utioi) of imple-
ments and equipment."
The commission report further
slates that mcui6«fr,s of niuilitfacturers'
association made w*e of "frequent ex-
change of prices lifcts by mail so that
members could ijhn'k up. on 'each oth-
er'* prices, terms &nft equipment fur-
nished." ami that fetters were sent
"urging low price* niembvvs to increase
t heir prices." 1 '« v • '
"By these moUttKMrv. the commis-
sion asserts, "beginning with meetings
held in Kcbruai'y.-t-bUt, ami continuing
through l!tl$,.the manufacturers
often arrive at'uniform percentages of
Increases to be applied first to one
uuil then another line of implements.
"That the officers and members of
the manufacturers' associations real-
ised." the report continues, "that they
were engaged in illegal activities is in-
dicated by the attempted secrecy that
they somcht throw over all price ac-
tivities."

the advance here which carried Oc-
tiilwr tip to 27.45 and January to
or 110 to 110 points net higher.
There was also heavy local covering,
which was doubtless hurried by ad-
journment of trading at. mid-day to
