Y Mr. Justice William Anderson, noting that the | Crown had based much of its case on inference, ruled there was insufficient evidence to substantiate the charges under the Combines Investigation Act APPEAL UNCERTAIN °° enttinet The Crown, which has an earlier appeal pending in the case, said it hasn't decided whether to appeal Friday's verdict. : Tfconvicted, the companies would have been liable to fines of $1 million on each of the two conspiracy charges. There is no stated penalty for criminal merger eonvictions, S E ‘ ; _ Analysing some of the highlights of the ‘trial, the judge said in a 3'-hour oral judgment that’even the timing of the newspaper transactions — they all took Place Aug. 27, 1980 — wasn't improper in light of evidence the Ottawa and Winnipeg dailies were financial losers and their owners had an unhappy relationship in their Vancouver partnership. ;, ~ Ineffect, the judge ruled, it was the marketplace and not collusion that dictated the demise of the two papers and reorganization of the competing chains’ holdings in other areas. All other efforts to improve the existing ar- rangements had long been exhausted, he said. He said Fisher and Tory, major players in the transactions, conducted them “in an entirely open fashion,” notifying regulatory authorities and making numerous disclosures of their plans. “That is not the sort of:conduct one would expect to find exhibited in criminal activity.” CHARGESREDUCED .

They had also been charged in connection with the closing of the Montreal Star the previous year, But three of the original charges were dismissed by Anderson on a non-suit motion by the defence midway through the trial. That absolved FP Publications of any and the and other subsidiaries of charges relating to the Montreal transac- tions. a The Crown has served notice it will appeal the judge's ruling on some of the points in the non-suit motion. In the chains, And said he was satisfied the closing of the Ottawa Journal and the weren't on the closing of the Winnipeg Tribune, as the Crown had alleged. He also said the sale of the Tribune's assets for use by Thomson's Winnipeg Free Press wasn’t part of a deal to close The Tribune. i “My conclusion is that the purchase of those assets was the purchase of the assets of a defunct business and not of a going concern,” the judge said. “True, the body was still warm when conveyance of the assets became effective. But I don't think the interval of time is material.” Anderson agreed with the defendants that spreading out the transactions over’a period of time, rather than making them effective on the same day, would have raised ty among employ hareh and ily staged an “ WORK OF FEELING . . .

(CP) — Americans pay 12 cents less than Canadians to mail a first-class letter because of “poor production” in the Canadian postal system, says Canada Post Corp. president, Michael Warren. “In the U.S. postal system there are 465 letters handled per person-hour, while in Canada only letters are handled per person-hour,” he said in an interview. “That's why the Americans pay 20 cents for a first-class letter ;.and,Canadians-pay 82 cents. 4 ‘The higher;Canadian cost ‘is definitely due'to our poor production.” But Warren repeated his «promise to freeze postal rates ’ through 1984, saying he wants to “turn around this dinosaur of a decade and a half” and have the post office break éven by 1986.
