CEMENT TRUST CUTS
PRICES AFTER WAR ON
BUILDING CONTRACTORS

By international Labor News Service
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.-The
California branches of the American
Cement Trust have reduced the price
of cement 80 cents a sack, and there
by hangs a tale.
Only a few short months ago the
American Cement Trust petitioned
Secretary of the Treasury to impose
a prohibitive tariff on all foreign ce-
ment entering this country.
At that time the representatives of
the American Cement Trust put up
pitiful plea that the importation of
foreign cement threatened to destroy
the American cement industry.
Organized labor told far different
story, however, in resisting the plea
of the American Cement Trust, with
the result that the petition of the
American Cement Trust for a prohibi-
tive tariff was denied.
Now comes the California branches
of the American Cement Trust with
the announcement of cut in price of
30 cents per sack, which fixes a price
for American cement much lower than
that charged for the foreign product,
and even at the reduced price the
American Cement Trust is reaping a
rich harvest in handsome profits.
The real purpose of the American
Cement Trust in seeking an increase
in the tariff on foreign cement was to
make it impossible for union contrac-
tors to purchase cement. That was a
part of the so-called American PLAN
scheme, which failed dismally when
the building trades unions of Cali
fornia imported foreign cement and
sold it at cost to contractors and in
dividuals operating on a union shop
basis.
