Ruling in favor of the anti
trust division of the Justice
Dept, in his recent deeision pro
hibiting the proposed merger of
Bethlehem Steel and Youngs
town Sheet & Tube. Federal
Judge Edward Wcinfeld based
his ruling on seme very interest
ing points.
• • • FT"
If his ruling
could be boiled
down te a few
words, it could
perhaps be
tersely ex
pressed as fol-
I o w s, “T w- o
wrongs do not
make a right.”
* • *
For the chief ™c7w. HardTT
argument of the two corpora
tions for merger was that by so
merging, they would be better
able to compete with U. S. Steel
which presently controls about
one-third of the steel market.
• * a
The two firms also argued that
they could not keep pace with
the V. S. Steel pattern due to
lack of finances.
• an
But taking the stand that such
a merger would only decrease
the right of the buyer to choose
batweon different suppliers, the
Federal Court also pointed to the
fact that in the past five years
Bethlehem had increased its ca
pacity by over 30%, as ha'd
Youngstown.
• as.
Thus, the court could find no
grounds for the argument that
the two firms, operating indepen
dently, could not expand in tune
with an expanding economy.
a a a
In this case, one of the major
anti-monopoly cases in recent
years, it was most interesting
th.-rt the two firms based all their
arguments on the need to com
bine in order to be as big as the
biggest in the industry.
(c , «Ull«».l »Wt»Uo« «, BoiIivm
This line af reasoning was re
jected absolutely by the court.
a a a
The court held that if this
merger was permitted on thil
ground, then a precedent could
be set up whereby smaller com
panies. under the same pretext,
could seek permission to merge,
with the result being that it
would be possible for all steel
production in the nation to be
controlled by a "Big Three."
a a a
It Is believed that an earlier
application of this doctrine would
have prevented the virtual mon
opoly set-ups that exist In some
industries today.
a a a
For it has always been given
as an excuse for merging that
such a move will make the n»er-
gees as big as the biggest.
a a a
Of course, as subscribed to by
the nationwide membership of
the National Federation af Inde
pendent Business, there is no sin
in bigness, fhe real test of the
matter Is whether mergers tend
to reduce competition.
a a a
Obviously, in this steel case,
which would have purpertediy
resulted in some 60% of the na
tion’s steel being controlled by
two giants, competition would
have been materially lessened,
a a a
And, as the court pointed out,
the creation of such* a situation
could have easily led (o a sub
sequent condition where the rest
of (he industry would have to
combine to compete at all.
a a a
Thus, this doctrine established
in ttiis case, unless over ruled
by the Supreme Court, will stand
as an important guide post in the
fight aga nst monopoly,
a * a
Tt. s same viewpoint, applied
to other pending rases, could
very well stop the trend Into
competition destroying mergers.
