B&L Case No " Peg " in Suit
New York — The fact that Federal Judge Henry Warren Goddard, who will begin to hear the all-industry suit Monday, sat in the government anti-trust action against Bausch & Lomb will have no bearing on the court’s attitude toward the film industry, major counsel hold.
Pleading nolo contendere to an indictment charging violation of the Sherman act, the optical company and three of its officers were fined $40,000. Carl Zeiss, Inc., which is said to have had a secret trade agreement with B&L since 1921 for the purpose of maintaining prices, has had the action against it adjourned until June 24.
Film counsel state no precedence can be established because of the different nature of the two industries; that Judge Goddard will have to base whatever decision he will hand down, if any, on the facts presented and argued by the government and opposing attorneys.
