Claim Conspiracy On Farm Machinery OTTAWA (CP) -- Conserva. tive MP Hugh Horner charged in the Commons Tuesday night that international farm imple- ment manufacturers '"'are con- _ spiring to set prices in Canada for what the market will bear."

Mr. Horner, member for Jas. per-Edson, said he found re- cently that some tractors sell for $600 less in Scotland than similar models in Canada.
