THE BUILDING PRICES | Attorney-General Says He Plans to Seek Evidence of Illegal Practices Among Material Trades Men Here With a View to Prosecu- tions. CALLS POST-DISPATCH EVIDENCE HELPFUL Wickersham’s Assistant, Chosen to Investigate “In- tolerable” Conditions in the Building Trades Indus- try. By the Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April ney-General Daugherty said yester- day that it was very probable a spe- clal agent of the Department of Jus- tice would be sent to St. Louis to ia- Vestigate reports of illegal practices in the building material trades. The Post-Dispatch laid before the Attorney-General the facis recently gathered by the Post- Dispatch in its inquiry into the building situation in that city—facts Which show striking uniformity in prices and the existence of trade associations in every branch of the. industry which exchange informa- tion of mutual interest. Daugherty said he was giad to get the material furnished by the Post- Dispatch and that he . believed it investigation which the department is making. James A. Fowler, who was an as- sistant in the department under At- torney -General Wickersham, has been appointed by Daugheris special assistant in charge of inquiry. which, as Daughert: nounced a week ago, will prose- cuted in all sections of the country where conditions seem to warrant it. Fowler is now engaged in this work in New York. Following upon his return here in a few days. a confer- this an- Lo ence will be held at the department | 7 ‘ _ to decide what further steps shall be | figures given for the month of Marc} taken to end what the Attorney-Gen- ‘ral has termed an “intolerable condition in the building trades. Daugherty said vesterday that there had been an improvement in the situation since he issued a geen | ing to material men a week ago tha they must desist from and other questionable practices, or} run the risk of prosecution under the | Federal laws. The whole situation. he declared, would be thoroughly fone into under Fowler's direction, and, if prosecutions developed, spe- cial agents of the department would assist local District Attorneys where assistance was necessary. In his statement a week Daugherty named St. Louis, Pitts- burg, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Chicago as cities from which he had received reports of doubtful prac- tices in the building trades. When asked yesterday whether he had definitely decided to send a spe- clal agent to St. Louis to make a lo- cal investigation, he replied: “You may say that is very likely.” ago Barrett ty Ask for Bullding Material Information.
