Guilty Combines Add To High Cost
OF Building.

Several manufacturers Of terra Gotta
have pleaded guilty to violations Of the
Federal antitrust laws and have paid
relatively Insignificant fines. presumably
out of the enormous profits they have been
enabled to coin from the provisions written
into the Fordney- McCumber profteers' tariff
law for their special benefit. Members Of
the sanitary pottery combine. which en-
joys like measure Of Republican PRO
lection" were recently convicted and SEN
fenced on similar charges
Prosecutions Of various combines manu-
featuring clay products were under indict-
ment when the Fordney- McCumber bill
was in process OF enactment. A Federal
grand jury which Investigated the con-
spiracy among certain manufacturers Of
terra Gotta declared that since 1911 they had
"in pursuance of an understanding and
agreement among themselves" conducted
their business without any competition be-
tween any of said defendants" and sold
at arbitrary. non-competitive and Excess
sive prices fixed by agreements"
The Republican Congress, in the face of
these charges. and with knowledge Of
practices which had increased the cost Of
building. voted protection" averaging IS

Gotta and other manufactures Of fire clay
afforded this industry-part OF which was
indicted and since convicted Of conspiracy
in restraint of trade-an opportunity to
add Sl23.000.000 to their prices. This
sum was doubled TO consumers.
The big combines which manufacture
bricks. terra Gotta. tiles, and sanitary pot
terry have contributed by their practices to
make the cost Of building prohibitive.
While these trusts have been reapine the
full benefit of these duties they have not
been willirg to give their employees any
share of their prosperity. On the contrary.
the sanitary potters refused their workers
an advance in wages. Members Of the
Brotherhood of Operative Potters struck for

rates on their employers products. was

Sugar Lower, But Tariff Adds Two
Cents To Price.

Although current prices of sugar at retail
are about three cents pound below those
quoted in April, May and June, the tariff
continues to be felt as considerable factor
in the cost of this staple. The duty Of l.76
cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar. when
added to the initial price and pyramided
all along the line, still represents two
cents or more of the cost to the consumer.
Cuban raw sugar landed in New York
and pledged for December delivery was
quoted few days ago at 3.85 cents
pound. If there were no tariff on this
sugar the average housewife could buy it
for about cents a pound. knowledge of
the CHARGES and profits calculated by the
importers and refiners and dealers and a
little arithmetical computation disclose the
effect of the tariff.
Landed at New York, a pound Of Cuban
SUGAR worth 3.S5 cents would undergo a
sudden appreciation. The Government
would collect a tariff Of l.76 cents. This
would be added to previous costs, and the
sugar would then be carried at 5.6l cents a
pound Shrinkaee figured at 7 per cent
is the next charge. With this item OF
shrinkaee included the cost Of the sugar
would become cents a pound, and the
addition of further charges and profits
would make the retail price about l-2
cents.
Whether the price Of Cuban raw sugar
rise or fall, the tariff Of L7648 cents q
pound is always part of it. But that IL
not all the disadvantage Of the tariff
Every pound Of sugar produced in thu
United States and Hawaii-upon which
no duty is imposed by LAWS boosted

the tariff gives that opportunity.
