r.YlllKM K SHOWS A CKMKNT TKI ST

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 26.— Kvicicncc tending to show that Indianapolis as well as other cities in the country is held in the tight grip of a cement trust which controls the indus try thus throttling competition and fixing prices, was revealed here by an investigation among dealers and contractors. The investigation indicated that the combination of cement manufacturers has bee n in effect for some years, with the trust in complete control of the industry at all times. Many contractors are of the belief however that the trust does not include the retail dealers of Indianapolis despite the fact that most dealers quote similar prices on all brands of cement. During the last summer when it was almost imposiblo to obtain ea'-s for the shipment of cement, prices rapidly increased, showing a net gain of 70c to $1 a barrel despite the fact that the prices before the increase were regarded as abnormally high. Since that time prices have again increased, but it is pointed out that these later increases were due to the increased freight rates. For several years the cement manufacturers, have charged uniform prices it was shown. Manufacturers in Allentown, I’a., and Hannibal Mo,, have sold cement to Indianapolis dealers at the identical price at which the same dealers have bought cement from mills in Grencastle Indiana, Sreed Ind., and Mitchell. Ind. Considerable variation of the freight rates between the difl'e-ent cities does not affect the price to the dealer Miss .Josephine Wade and Miss Mary Wadi* spent the Thanksgiving holidays with their iparents, Kev. and Mrs. C. U Wade.
