WAR IN CEMENT TRADE
Morgan Interests Force Dissolu-
tion of Association.
PRICE CUTTING IS EXPECTED
Uneasy Feeling in Industry In
creased When "Gentlemen's
Agreement" Is Refused.

The war in the cement trade which has
been expected for some time was formally
declared yesterday. when the Association
Of Licensed Cement Manufacturers was
formally dissolved The association ex-
pired by limitation at the first OF the year.
but 1t was hoped by few Of those inter
ested that IT might be continued, or that II
IL were not formally continued that at
least there might be a "gentlemen's
agreement" as TO the price OF cement.
Some OF those concerned In the associa-
ton had already, however. started the
war by cutting the price OF cement from
10 10 Is cents a barrel, and yesterday, after
a protracted session. II was decided that
the association Of the manufacturers should
be formally discontinued. This was ac-
cepted In the trade as practically notice
Of war. and II was generally conceded to
mean that ]. P. Morgan e. Co. were after
the cement business of the country, with
the intention OF ultimately turning II over
to the United States Steel Corporation.
The steel company already controls about
cne-third of the cement output OF the
country and is one of the largest indI-
vidual users Of cement. When the Morgan
firm got the control of the Atlas Portland
Cement Company from ]. Rogers Maxwell
II was at first thought this meant that the
cement industry was TO be put on stable
footing. and that prices would be settled
for many years 10 come 1t soon became
evident. however, TO those In the trade that
something besides peaceful agreement
was intended. and there has been an un-
easy feeling for some time.
II Is understood that at the meeting YES
terday the manufacturers who wanted TO
see peace and a price agreement in the
trade were unable to get any consideration
for the many motions that they put before
the meeting. The only thing that the Nor
gan representatives would agree TO con-
sider was whether the association should
continue In existence. They were deter
mined that II should not and their wishes
prevailed. After the meeting only a brief
statement was given out, which said that:
AT a meeting Of the Association OF Il
censed Cement Manufacturers. held at its
office. at No. 80 Broad street. It was de-
cided by the members OF that associa ton
to dissolve 1t. and formal action was taken
for that purpose"
Several of the manufacturers said after
the meeting that It was practically assured
that there would be a universal cutting OF
the price Of cement and that each manu-
facturer would go after business in his
own way and with his own idea of prices.
Representatives Of the Morgan interests
said the price Of the commodity was good.
and they hoped II would remain at about
the present level
There has been some cutting since tho
first OF the year" It was said. "and there
may be more. We can't help that But We
don't expect to see any serious trouble"

here to-day show that losses by fire In the

In only two preceding years have the
fire losses been heavier than in 1910, one
being the year Of the Chicago fire, the
other OF the san Francisco fire.
Federal and state officials agree that tho
majority OF these losses are preventaole'
most OF them being due TO carelessness.
and are urging that a reduction Of this
fire waste be made part of the campaign
for conservation Of natural resources. In
spite Of the increasing losses. II is said
that the average rate of fire insurance
shows reduction in 1910.

COURT UPHoLDs STATE Law
Pennsylvania Railroad Must Stand
Trial in Ohio on Coupler Charges.

Cincinnati, Jan. 6.-"Ohio law Is Vaho
and supreme in Ohio" is the declaration
of Common Pleas Judge Dickson in an I'M
portant railroad decision to-day. The SUIT
was that Of the State Of Ohio against the
Pennsylvania Railroad for NlOp Tor taiu'e
TO have automatic couplers on cars. The
state law provides penalty OF 81" 1or
failure TO have such couplers.
The railroad pleaded that similar fed
eral law provides the same penalty and for
the state courts to try 10 impose the penal
ties Of their law amounted TO a conflict oi
authority. The railroad also asserted that
the state law was an interference with In
terstate commerce, as 1t would require
car which was discovered to have de-
fective coupler 10 be sidetracked
The decision was on demurrer OF the
prosecutor 10 the answer OF the railroad
and the case will now go 20 trial on Its
merits.

Quoted primary for a State office, will have
pretty good show to pull through in the general

BILE money-hags. the esteemed Inder-AppedI to
the contrary notwithstanding.
The argument however, to which we take the
most exception in the Indeg-AppedlS editorial is
the expression of the belief that the poor man in
Office is more likely to betray HIS constituents
than the rich The history of American poll
tics the records of the men in existing legis-
lative bodies do not show such opinion to be
well.founded And If ii did is it not just that
much more necessary that we take such steps as

kind The cost Of political life, II 1t has in
