Assistant Attorney General Is
Conducting Cost Inquiry.
Heads of Plants Deny Trust
Law Violations.
TELL WHY PRICES ARE HIGH
Cost of Machinery and Labor
Is Blamed.
Hearing Held Behind Closed
Doors by Hawkes..

Kansas cement men are on the car
pet today in the office of the attorney
general. A general probe is beinS
made as to building materials AMI
heads of Kansas cement plants are to
be questioned as to advances in prices.
Judge s. NJ. Hawkes. is conducting
the inquiry. II is the first investiga-
ton under the Montee-Barrier anti
trust act which passed the Kansas
legislature last winter. Under terms
of the measure the attorney general
may summon witnesses and take testi-
mony regarding price fixing and COM
binations in restraint of trade. The
bill amended the original antitrust
law and was designed to catch cement
and brick manufacturers and persons
in control of prices of road building
materials. The inquisitions are SINH
/ lar to those in liquor Investigations.
Cement men came to Topeka today
with a perfect alibi as to existing
prices They asserted that prices
would go down whenever the cost of
machinery, materials and labor tum-
bled. Advances in charges to build
/ ers. they declared. were merely in
keeping with the high prices which
confronted the manufacturer.
Old Prices Impossible.
I'VE cannot supply cement at the
old prices and absorb the abnormal
prices which we must pay for labor
machinery and materials" one cement
plant representative stated before en-
/ tering the attorney generals office. It
was understood that the men called to
Topeka today would stand on their
right to advance prices so long as they
were compelled to meet similar in
creases in cost of production.
The hearing today is behind closed
doors. A record of the testimony of
men summoned is being taken by a
stenographer. If evidence is devel-
oped of the existence of an agreen7 ent
among cement men as to price. suits
may be brought under the antitrust
law.
Deny Trust Control
Emphatic denials came today from
the cement men when it was suggos
ed that they were operating in viola
tion of the law. They asserted that
/ their materials were not trust con-
trolled and that prices were not fixed
for the purpose of destroying COMPETE
ton or to gouge the consuming pub
lie. Statements made behind closed
! doors. however. have not been an
! nounced. This testimony will be trim
scribed and reviewed by JUICE
Hawkes. before action is taken.

MAY SELL STOCK
Blue Sky Board Approves Lon
gren Aircraft Corporation.
Plan Is To Build 100000
Plant in Topeka.

Plans of the LorSren Aircraft Cor
poration to sell stock in Kansas were
approved today by the state blue-sky
board. Under the approval of the
state board A. K. Longren will con-
duct a campaign for the sale of $780,
900 worth of the corporation stock
for the esta blishment of a plant in
Topeka or Kansas City. The factory
will produce commercial and pleasure
planes.
The Longren project was outlined
before the state board at today's hear
ing. Longren stated that it was his
purpose to manufacture one and two
seated machines which would be
placed on the market at popular
prices. He believes the development
of the aircraft industry will be even
more rapid than has been the progress
of the motor car for pleasure and
commercial purposes.
Will Employ Many People.
Establishment of a factory which
will have a maximum output of
twenty-five planes a day is Longren' s
plan. His plant will employ from 800
to 500 people and will also establish
a demonstration field and employ a
number of expert bird men to exhibit
and demonstrate use of cars. A flying
| school will proba bly, be esta blished in
| connection with the plant.
The Longren corporation is largely
a Topeka institution. A. K. Longren,
head of the corporation. is a Topekan
and has made numerous flights in To-
| peka and in Kansas. He has sold
several planes and as a result of his
| experience at McCook field. Dayton
| Ohio, expects to produce a successful
moderate priced machine. His plant
will be located in Topeka or Kansas
| City.
J Longren's company recently secured
| a state charter. 1t is capitalized a:
100000. 1t is his purpose. according
| to a statement before the board. tC
sell 100000 worth of the corporation
| stock this summer. He has stated
that he expects to begin the produc-
| ton of cars next fall.
| Many Topekans are said to be in
terested in the project and are making
an effort to secure establishment OF
| the plant here. With a production
plant and demonstration field in OF
near Topeka, friends of the project
believe that Topeka would secure a
definite and authorized station on the
| new government air route.
