BUILDING TRADES IN
NATIONWIDE COMBINE
Bids Controlled and Costs Boost
ed 200 Per Cent, New York
Committee Is Told.

New York.-The Lockwood Commit
tee entered upon the second phase of
it's investigation, that of probing into
alleged combinations Of building ma
terial manufacturers and dealers to
keep up the prices Of their commodi-
ties. Evidence along this line indi-
Gated the following:
That com lions exist among
manufacturers and dealers in cement,
lime, gravel, brick, sand, stone and
other building materials which hold
the builders of the country in tight
grip by means of a network of Or
ganizations with intricate rules and
in some cases uniform contracts.
That a national organization of
cement manufacturers controls the
cement output of the country and di-
vides the states into districts for the
purpose of supervising the cement
trade, eliminating competition and in
suring geographical distribution OF
contracts.
That no builder, however large, can
go out of his district to purchase
cement, nor can he buy it direct from
the manufacturer A New York build
er cannot go to Philadelphia or even
to Newark for cement, but must buy
of dealer in this city.
That prices for building materials
are uniform all over the country, no
matter what differences there may be
in the cost Of doing business among
the material dealers.
Evidences along the foregoing line
was furnished to the committee by
Hugh White, a vice president Of the
George A Fuller Construction Com
pany and in charge of all construc-
ton work in the metropolitan dis
trict-
Mr.. White, in his testimony and &C.
cording to comprehensive memoranda
he prepared for the committee, as.
serted:
That since the inception of the Lock.
wood committees investigation the
| price of building materials has begun
| to tumble AS an illustration he show.
ed that on 100000 worth of sub.
contracts his concern let for the build
ing of the Plaza Hotel annex reduc
tions amounting to $1,000, or more
than 10 per cent, have been made in
| the last month.
