1Opinion of the Court
BREITENSTEIN, Circuit Judge.
These appeals are in treble-damage Clayton Act cases similar in nature to approximately 1,900 other suits brought in the federal courts throughout the country. The plaintiffs are purchasers of electrical equipment and the defendants are the manufacturers and suppliers of that equipment. The claims are that the manufacturers and suppliers secretly conspired to fix prices. The issue is whether fraudulent concealment of a cause of action under § 4 of the Clayton Act1 tolls the limitation periods fixed by §§ 4B and 5(b) of the Act as amended.2
