Con,pers Asserts Building
Inquiry Justified Itself
Combines Among Dealers and
Discrimination Against Labor
Held to Hare Been PrOued

The investigation of the Lockwood
committee into the building trades has
justified itself if for no other reason
than the facts brought out in the tes-
timony of Louis Horowitz, president
of the Thompson -Starrett Construction
Company, and Eugene c. Grace, prcsi
dent of the Bethlehem Steel Company,
said Samuel Gompcrs, president of the
American Federation Of Labor yes
terd7y.
The investigation, Mr.. Gompcrs said,
had revealed clearly the existence Of
a combine among dealers and manu-
facturers of building materials and
also that organized labor had been
consistently Disseminated against.
Mir. horowltz, WNo testiileu before
the committee on December 3, told the
investigators that there was virtually
no competitive bidding on lime
plumbing, marble, brick, cement, lime
or tireprcoting material, and that for
period prices were absolutely uni
form. He also told the committee
that large steel fabricators had COM
bined to maintain the open shop on all
steel erection jobs.
Der Is, admitted that his company
would not sell fabricated steel to
builders or contractors in this city
and Philade'nhia for erection under
union conditions.
Basing his statement on that testi-
mony Mr.. Gompers said:
"If no other facts had been brought
out before the Lockwood committee
than those given by Mr.. Horowitz and
Nix Grace the Investigation would ap-
pear to be justified. Mr. Horowitz re-
veaed situation which needs no com
ment, while Mr.. Grace proved the
contention of organized labor that EN-
ployers opposed to union organize
tions, especially employers in the steel
industry, take that position not be-
cause of the validity of the principle
they maintain. the so~caled principle
Of freedom of contract. but because in
maintaining their position for the So
called open shon thov are rca'ly intro

$1,000 for Drainage

Indications are that the city will
strenuously oppose the proposed levy
ing of blanket assessment of $1,000
by the new drainage district Drain
age officials and the council held a
conference last evening. The city
contends that the greater portion of
the corporation will not be bene-
fitted as the sewer system provides
the necessary drainage. 1t was ad-
mitted, however, that that portion of
the city which is not provided with
sewers will reap benefit, but that
in such portions the individual pro-
perty owners should be assessed and
not the entire city. The matter will
come up for further consideration at
! later date.
