Bid Rigging Not Always Successful In Senate Hearings
Two witnesses at a Senate Antitrust inquiry said electrical equipment firms held secret meetings between 1951 and 1959 to discuss bids on turbine generators. They testified that price discussions occurred but often did not determine awards as other factors influenced purchases. Peters of GE and Seiler of Elliott/Carr ier Corp said the practice ended in 1959 and that lower bids did not guarantee orders.
