ONE CONCERN, ONE PRICE.
"If in this free trade country," Btates the journal, "the buyer considers that he is being exploited by a ring he can find his remedy by purchasing tfbroad. The Southern Railway, like the Manchester Corporation just reecntly and like the Bradford Corporation two or three years ago, has followed this plan. But it is not understood why- the railway officials say that no British firm other than the three asked to tender is capable of building the machines they require. There are half a dozen firms in this country able to construct such plant. Clearly the general effect of rings is the same - as would be brought about if combination on horizontal lines, so often advocated, were adopted. In that event there would be one concern quoting one price instead of a number of firms quoting' similar prices. Wherein lies the difference?"
