Cement Companies Accused of Price Fixing Agreement
rRepuhIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-AlI but a small fraction of the cement and terra cotta manufacturers of America ex- change their price quotations and other data on the amount of business han died through national and regional as- sociations, it developed here today at the legislative inquiry into the alleged building trust.''
 While these revelations accumulated on top of similar ones recently brought forth in the investigation of other con- struction lines one more organization of building contractors, the Hoisting association, announced it had dissolved. The members promised to have "unre- stricted, open competition in the fu- ture.
 The medium through which the terra cotta makers reviewed data on the business of all their competitors was the National Terra Gotta society, it's former president, William H. Powell, told the committee. He explained an ''open price system" of cards were is sued, with each firm designated by fcode letters" This was. done daily in detail among regional branches of the society in the east, west and central sections of the country. General data was exchanged between the sections weekly.
 Cement manufacturers from various parts Of the country who had been here attending a convention were sum moned by subpoena servers of the com mittee and they appeared one after another to undergo examination by Samuel Untermyer, committee counsel.
 Quoting from price lists of the man. ufacturers who faced him, MT. Inter myer charged that all the cement mak- CTS had ''quadrupled prices since 1914, and had boosted them 50 per cent be- tween January and October, this year, when the quotations were slightly low cred.
 The prices quoted by all the manu- lecturers embraced in The Portland Cement association throughout the country were horizontally. unanimous and uniform" he said. Later two of the witnesses testified the prices quot ed by all cement manufacturers usually were identical within AS hours after any one of them had made a change. This association, according to a sum mary of its transactions which were read into the record, spent $1,50o,ooo last year.
