BOARD OF EDUCATION
AIDS SUB-CONTRACTORS
Defers Action on Proposed
Cancellations.

The Board OF Education postponed yes
terday action upon the cancellation of
school building, heating and ventilating
contracts recommended last week by the
Board Of Estimate upon charges made
by John p. O'Brien, Corporation Coun-
sci, that the contract figures were ar
rived at by collusion. The purpose of
deferring action, II was announced. was
to protect the rights of sub-contractors.
Members Of the Board OF Education will
confer with the Corporation Counsel
to-day.
The action OF the board followed a
conference of representatives of build
ing supply men with DR.. John A. Fergu-
son, n member of the board. and the
boards position was set forth in the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That. in view OF the fact
that certain statements have been made
to the Committee on Building and Sites
(of the Board of Education) by sub
contractors on school building work. and
in View Of what appears to be their
legitimate claim now pending against
the contractors for work already COM
pleted much of which has been certi-
fled by this board for payments, the
committee be requested TO bring such
matters TO the attention of the Corpora
ton Counsel for purposes of ascertain
ing whether any relief can be granted
these -sub-contraotors-or whether
any rights they may have may be pre-
served for them before the cancellation
Of contracts in which they are involved"
Most Of the sub-contractors repre-
sented were heating. ventilating. plumb
Ing and iron work firms.
NJ. Samuel Stern, the new board mem-
Der. made a fight for immediate can
collation. of the contracts and n heated
debate ensued before the board finally
fixed its policy.
The Board OF Education has no direct
dealings with sub-contractors and is in
terestng itself I'm them in this instance
out OF spirit of fair play.

The Pipe Association held meetings
two or three times year and kept It's

said. Mr.. untermyer tried TO find oul

Price Fixing by Discounts.


The Central Foundry Company and the
Somerville Iron Works are two of the
largest concerns in the association. Mr..
Tuttle said. The Central has an office
in the same building with the association
and Mr.. Cntcrnyer tried long and hard
to establish that the Central domina.as
the entire association and fixes prices
Mr.. Cntermyer put in evidence a letter
sent out by the president of the Gem
trail company urging members of the
association to help defeat the proposed
legislation at Harrisburg. Pa. It was
brought out through a long series Of
questions that the association carried IN
organized propaganda to prevent injur-
ious legislation had fund for advertis-
ing and employed agents to combat
changes in the building code. such as
was proposed in New York in the in
terest of cheaper construction.
The Central Foundry Company han.
6le1 all the discount changes in prices
for the ten members Of the association.
the witness admitted. up to June last.
when the system of price changes was
stopped because of action taken by the
attorney under the antitrust law.
The association established a boycott
on mail order houses which were irving
to undersell the members and likewise
refused 10 sell to purchasing companies
which might break into the business.
Your plan was for the Central Foun-
CRY to set the pace and for others to fol-
low on prices, was it not?" Mr.. Inter
myer asked. Mr. Tuttle said he thought
not and insisted The system was to effect
price changes" not price fixing"
The Central Company in most in
stances set the change in price and noti-
fled you and you notified the other
members and then they changed their.
prices acco ordingly and notified you?"
Mr.. Untcrmyer asked
wouldn't say they all did," the witt
ness fenced.
Don't you know the price of pipe has
increased 300 per cent. since 1862"
81 do not"
DO you know how many hundred per
cent, II has advanced?"
81 do not"
The price list was not changed. the
discounts were changed, is that it?"
That's right"
isn't this whole business OF discounts
perfect fake to disguise price fixing ?"
Mr. cntermyer demanded, again becom-
ing angry. The witness quietly wanted
TO argue, but the lawyer called a sharp
halt. Mr.. Tuttle told OF a meeting re-
