BY Associated Press:
NEW YORK, Mar 1.-Indict-
ments handed down Tuesday by the
special federal grand jury investi-
eating an alleged building material
combination against 75 corporations
and AZ individuals comprising an
alleged cement trust" These in
dictment contained two counts
charging violation Of the sherman
antitrust law. one alleging combina-
ton and restraint of trade and the
other monopoly and attempt TO
mOnOpOlize.
Among the corporations named are
the Alpha-Portland Cement com
pany, thB Atlas Portland Cement
company and the Universal Cement
company. The indictments were re-
turned on evidence presented 10 the
grand jury by prosecuting attorney
William Rand.
Exclude From Channels.
It is the governments contention,
Mr.. Rand said, to show that the
combination has 80 efTectually
maintained uniformity Of price in
divided territories, limited output
and regulated the class and char
acter of customers who might buy
cement, and the purpose to which
cement might be applied as in effect
to exclude cement from the ordinary
competition conditions. cement is nc
longer an item Of barter and sale
sold freely in the market. but in
stead is controlled by the manufact-
ures up to the moment it is actually
employed in construction work"
Merely sham.
The indictments alleged that the
cement combination has formed
associations and bureaus throughout
the country ostensibly for the pUr-
pose Of quoting prices as 10 com
pleted transactions and for the pur-
pose of recommending" uniform
trade practices. The evidence in
dicates, the indictments said, osten-
isble purposes of these associations
are merely sham and that the so
called quotations Uf past transac-
tions are used as means of fixing
a common price.
Continuing the indictment said
Some of the more reprehnsible OF
these practices are what is known
as delivery prices, arbitrary trade
