Fair trade agreement that's negotiated by Times, perhaps (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

square deal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'agreement that's negotiated by times perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fair trade' is the wordplay.
'fair' becomes 'square' (I've seen this before).
'trade' becomes 'deal' ('deal' can be a synonym of 'trade').
'square'+'deal'='SQUARE DEAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for square deal that I've seen before include "fair treatment" , "Fair transaction" , "Fair trade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
