Failure to Patronize Home

Plant Shutdown.
ESQ MAY LOSE JOBS
Commission Urged to Give
Fair Deal for Product
Made in State.

Failure of government agencies
to urge patronizing of home indus
tries in the buying of materials for
public improvements, by way of
combating out-state freight and
price boycotts, may peril solvency
of several major Indiana manu-
facturers.
This assertion, with a declaration
that one manufacturing concern will
be forced into temporary shutdown,
closing it's doors to $50 employees on
July l, because of out-state COMPETE
ton, was hurled at Marion county
commissioners Monday, as result of
the opening of the county's 100000
road improvement program.
r. u Van Degrift, salesman for
the Lone Star Cement Company of
Indiana, Inc, told commissioners
that the 100000 Lone Star plant
at Lilnedale, near Greensburg, will
halt operations because contractors
refuse to patronize Hoosier manu-
facturers.
Urges Home Product Use
Government agencies should re-
quire contractors to use Indiana
products in public improvements,
Van -Degrift asserted to the board.
He produced evidence showing
that other states, Illinois and Ohio
in the. main, make it imperative
that bidders for government work
use. products of their respective
states.
He contended that Indiana gov
eminent boards are lax in failing
to require contractors to use pro-
ducts of this state.
Present unsteady business condi-
lions now make warehouse sales of
material manufacturers a negligible
factor, Van Degrift declared. He
asserted that business obtained
through government agencies is the
one hope of HooSier manufacturers
to combat out-state industries.
marion county's improvement
program alone entails 10000 barrels
of cement" Van Degrift said, "and
offers at this time probably the only
revenue in which Hoosier cement
manufacturers can hope to share"
Prices Are Same
He declared that bulk prices set
by out-state cement manufacturers
are the same as the prices submit
ted by Indiana dealers, but that 10
cal contractors will not buy Indiana
cement because of freight rate COM
plications.
1.-THE Lone Star company's bid is
in almost every case the same per
barrel as the bid of out-state manu-
facturers. Because we will not
knock off the difference in freight
charges, contractors will not buy
from us" Van Degrift said. The
final price, he stated, is ultimately
the same.
Shutdown of the Limedale plant
will injure Indiana coal dealers,
Van Degrift asserted, costing them
the sale of thousands of tons of coal
used in making of cement.
He recommended that municipal
agencies make it imperative for
contractors to use home products,
except in cases where price diff
ferences are extreme.
The suggestion is being considered
seriously by Marion county, Com
missioner John E. Shearer said to-
day.
What other states are doing to
help home industries should be
practiced in this state" Shearer
said.

Prices on Toboggan, With
Grain Cutting Time at
Hand in Southwest.
SHORT CROP IN KANSAS
Prospects Better in Texas
and Oklahoma; Many
Store Yield.
BY GARRETT PORTER
United Press staff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June "a
Wheat farmers in the broad fields
of the southwest we're between two
fires today.
Fast-ripening grain demanded i'm
mediate cutting and low prices
threatened losses to the farmers If
they send the grain to market.
July wheat touched 8214 cents in
Chicago Monday, a new low since
1914. In Kansas City, July wheat
sold at 80 cents. In some producing
centers the price was as low as 70
cents.
In the face of the threatened
losses many farmers chose to hold
their grain.
The harvest was half completed
today in Oklahoma and the Texas
Panhandle. Combined harvesting
and thrashing machines started to
work in northern Oklahoma and
southern Kansas counties this week.
Binding operations in Kansas
worked northward toward Nebraska,
where the harvest is scheduled to
open within few days.
Crop Is Short
In addition to low prices, Kansas
faced short crop. Below normal
yields were reported from some of
the best wheat-producing counties
of the state, and observers believed
the crop might turn cut only a third
of the expected yield.
Ford county, which produced
100000 bushels in 1929, was ex-
pected to yield less than 100000
this year. The last report of the
state department of agriculture esti-
mated the acre yield at lit bushels,
but many fields that had been ex-
pected to produce twenty bushels
to the acre are yielding only seven
or eight.
Damage in Kansas wheat fields
was attributed to a severe attack of
the fungus root-rot diseases by L.
E. Melchers, plant pathologist at
Kansas State Agriculture college.
Better in Oklahoma
Crop conditions in Oklahoma and
Texas were somewhat better. The
indicated yield in Oklahoma was as
good or better than preliminary
estimates of 100000 bushels. The
Texas total was placed at more than
25,O00000 bushels.
Missouri, with a June estimate of
10 100000 bushels, reported yields in
many cases better than the expect
ed thirteen bushels an acre. Ne
braskas prospects were better than
average. Estimates placed condi-
tions at between eighty and eighty
five per cent of normal, with acre
yields of from 1876 to 20.8 bushels.
June estimates placed the total
yield from Texas, Colorado, Okla
rhoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri, at 289, 327 900 bushels, but this
figure was made on the basis of a
100000 bushel yield in Kansas.
Grain Being. Held
Elevators in the southern part Of
the grain belt were bullying with
wheat, but the grain was not being
moved to market. One elevator in
Oklahoma, receiving 1000 bushels
in one day, sold only 200 bushels.
The movement in Kansas also was
less than expected. Reports indi-
Gated farmers expected to receive
at least 20 cents more buShel by
holding their wheat.
Short crops, low prices and a sur
plus of labor have brought reduc-
ton in wages for harvest hands.
Nebraska farmers offered So cents
an hour compared to last years
SIS day, and Kansas growers were
reported paying the pre-war wage
of So a day.

Three Types Are Specified

How the state highway commits
sion received bids on three types OF
pavement-blacktop, blacktop and
blacktop-and then let a S310,172.05
contract on a bid which was
9s5, 63l "a more than the lowest bid
received-was disclosed today
through investigation by The Indi-
annapolis Times.
Bids were received April %, but
no publicity was given the letting
of the contract to N. B. Putnam q
Co, Fit. Wayne.
Ordinarily, new construction con-
tract awards are announced through
the state highway departments pub
Lefty bureau.
This construction, called the Mo-
non road, is of Kentucky rock as
rhalt and now is under way. 1t
extends from three miles north OF
Monon to San Pierre, a distance OF
171S miles.
BIacktop Is All Three
Bids were taken on three CLASH
fications Of blacktop construction.
The law provides that bids must
be taken on three types" to insure
competition.
The classifications were bitum1-
nous macadam, bituninous con-
crate and rock aSphalt.
Lowest bid received was on btu
rlinous macadam. 1t was $224,540.-
81, which was 85.631.34 less than
the Kentucky rock asphalt contract
award.
Three bids on the bituminolls
nlacadam were all lower than the
award. as we'll as two of the three
bids on bituminous concrete.
Reason for accepting the compar-
atively high bid was explained as
being the commission conclusion
that it really was "the lowest and
best bid" as the law provides.
Hinkle Stays in Saddle
Putnam was the lowest of three
Kentucky rock asphalt bidders, be-
ing $S,l38.40 lower than nearest COM
petitor in this classification and
$42,903.01 lower than the highest bid
received.
Although the commission re-
ceiyed a ruling from the attorney
generals Office that all new con-
struction must come under the con-
struction division, of which William
j. Titus is chief engineer, the
bIacktop Jobs continue under direc-
ton of A. H. Hinkle, chief of the
maintenance division.
Titus is termed cement man, =
and Hinkle is listed as "blacktop
booster"
This new construction is all that
the commission has allowed black
top this season. Nearly 500 miles
of cement construction will be
built. In 1929 the average mile
cost of concrete was $26,983.22.
Action Is Criticised
But the concrete constructioniSts
contend that the stone base on
many bIacktop roads is built up by
the maintenance division and not
figured in the final cost.
They criticised the Monon road
project on the ground that there
seemed to be secrecy surrounding
the letting; that there was no COM
petition except in blacktop, and that
since the contract was let on high
priced classification, the three claS-
sifications could not have been con-
sidered comparable by the COM
