Charges Powerful Monopoly.
Oswald F. Schuette. speaking for the
Radio Protective Association, then
charged that the Radio Corporation Of
America had a monopoly, with $5,00o,-
COOo00 back Of it."
He complained that for 10 years the
independent radio manufacturers hao
sought to have the Department of jus
tice intervene and prosecute under the
antitrust law.
Senator Wheeler. Democrat of Mon
tana. wanted to know what reason was
given at the department for not prose-
cutting. Scheuette replied the answer
always was that an investigation Is
being made.
Loss of Time Hindrance.
Scheuette said it was almost impos-
sible to wage fight against patents Of
the Radio Corporation because 1t took
so long to go through the courts.
IF Uncle Sam gets into this" he de-
clared, "the fight is over and it is won"
Col. McMullen declared that prices
for radio tubes were outrageous"
Asked why the prices were high if the
patents on the tubes had expired, he
replied that they can get away with
it, that's all"

DECLINE TO TALK
IN LABOR DISPUTE.
Concrete Finishers and Build
ers Said to Have Made
Concessions in Agreement.

An agreement reached between union
representatives and master builders has
resulted in averting a threatened strike
by concrete finiSherS on the Sears-Roe-
buck Building and several other large
building jobs in the city.
The office of the Master Builders
Association declined to give any infor-
nation other than that the labor dis
pute had been settled satisfactorily to
both sides and that the concrete finish
ers were at work on the jobs yesterday,
shortly after the new contract had been
agreed upon. Each side is understood
to have made concessions. but it was
learned authoritatively that the de-
mandS of the concrete finiShers for a
wage increase of from SO to $40 a day
was agreed upon, to become effective
at a deferred date.
The agreement was arrived at at l 80
o'clock yesterday morning. after an eX-
tended meeting, twice adjourned, and
marked by repeated efforts of partici-
pants to explain to anxious wives their
absence at such an hour.
The agreement affects all concrete
finishers in the District of Columbia
and adjoining territory, and represents
the elimination Of controversy which
at one time threatened to cause a Seri-
Gus tie-up in building work.
Representatives of the union men
who signed the agreement for the con-
crete flnishers were David N. Hull, Local
No. Sc; Frank Eisler, John Butler and
John Byf1eld.
For the contractors the following
signed: Fred Drew Co. Inc; Charles
Tompkins Co. S. D. Moses. the Fletcher
Fireproofing Co. and the Concrete Con-
tractors Association, Building Trades
Employers Association section.
Still another wage problem confronts
the builders in the demand of marble
settlers for a $l-a-day increase and a
five-day week. The marble-setters' wage
agreement expires soon, and union de-
mands are to be discussed in an effort
to reach compromise.
