Monopolists in Electrical Field Fined Millions in Banks of Fines
Philadelphia AP report notes 11 monopolists in the electrical field were fined totaling $11 million with further penalties, including five suspended jail terms and five years probation for 19 other executives. Judge Ganey imposed $981,500 in fines on companies and individuals on one day, with several large firms named such as Westinghouse, Thompson Halton, and McGaugh-Edison. Names, places, and figures reflect a wide cartel case over price fixing and bid rigging in power equipment. The government sought harsher penalties, while Kennedy urged even stiffer sentences.
