It was stated todnv. The explanation was' made officlall.v In answer to queries as to What happens in war-time price fixing when the War Industries Board ceases to function ut midnight to morrow. The attitude or the Department of i .Itlstlce. as outlined by Attorney Gen era I Gtegoiy. is that, the Sherman aiitl-ttust law, still effective, will be enforced vigorously by the department. It has been in full effect through out the war. hut the department hp not regarded the action of Industry In malnlalnliiK pi ics fixed by the Government as conttary to law In making thin explanation the Attorney General did not fftter to any Industry or specific situation In explaining that no violation of antitrust laws would be permitted Other Department or Justice offlclu's who heretofore have had charge of piosecutlons under the aniilrust laws decline, I that when the Mar Industrie board ceases tu exercis control of pru en Jauuaiv I, any act of a griup of business men tending to prevent fiee play of compel lnon will be examined in the light of the law. It Is felt thai, although an Immediate effect of prttc agieenieiiis might be temporarily to keep prices down and thereby benefit consumers, this result might soon change and that ronsec,uenUy the situation Is full of danger. Then, is no provision In ihe law- for considera tion of whether the fleet of the sup piesslon of competition might be "be nevolent." It was said thai so far the depart ment hail not given pin titular attention to the steel lndusir,v, which submitted to the war ludusrles boaid a revised list or prices to he effective after Jan uar.v 1. The board did not pass upon the prices and declined to continue its supervision. ''SKIP-STOP MUST GO!" ortlivcst Business .Men Will Semi I ItiuiiUiim to Mitten If the P.
