THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 190S. It FURNITURE TRUST STILL-FLOURISHES. Strong Testimony Given Be fore Council's Investigat ing Committee. VICTIMS ON THE STAND Manufacturer of Kitchen .Wares fcays Combine Ruined Ilia Busi ness Mall-Order Houses Are Also Made to Suffer. Further evidence adduced before -the special lnvestig-ating committee of the City Council at Its eecond session, held yesterday morning, tends quite strongly to show that there is still an understand ing among practically all the Portland furniture-dealers to keep up prices and that a boycott exists against the few Independent concerns in the city. . Two witnesses swore that, because they con duct mail-order establishments, they are unable to purchase furniture from any of the firms that were admittedly members of the combine at the time of the Federal indictments, last Summer. Another witness swore that because he sold a email bill of gooda to an independent store, he was "put out of business" by ' the Arms that formerly patronized him. He was forced to sell his manufacturing plant and is now engaged in another line. .. The witnesses yesterday morning were A. Jones, of the Jones Cash Store, a mail-order house, at Front and Oak streets; William H. Phelan, of Rice & Phelan. mall-order dealers, at tront ana ' Oak streets, and Samuel Kirtschevsky, formerly engaged in the manufacture of a lino of kitchen goods. All of the witnesses swore that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there still exists at least a secret understanding as to a scale of prices, and that the Federal indictment and subsequent flno of last Summer did not, In reality, end the so-called trust. Because of the serious nature of the evidence adduced yesterday morning, the Investigating committee, ' composed of Councilmen Vaughn, Beldlng and Con cannon, assisted by Deputy City Attorney Grant, decided to Issue subpenas for the proprietors and managers of some of the large furniture establishments and to secure their testimony. Among the firms affected by the sworn testimony of witnesses yesterday are Ira F. Powers, Taubenhelmer & Schmeer, William Gads by & Sons, I. Gevurtx & Sons, Henry Jenning and Heywood Bros. Gives Strong Testimony. Perhaps the most damaging testimony was that given by Samuel Kirtschevsky, who swore that he was formerly In the manufacturing business, and sold a line of kitchen goods. His concern was known as the Rose City Manufacturing Com pany. He admitted that he was formerly a member of the Northwest Furniture Kxchange, the 'wholesalers' association, and that a fixed rate of prices prevailed. He said he sold largely to certain Port land dealers until it became necessary for him to secure at once some money with i which to meet a ' bill. His. regular customers were fully stocked, and de clined to purchase, even at a liberal dis count, "and he was forced, he said, to sell a bill of goods to the amount of $200 to the Independent Furniture Company. This transaction occurred after the Fed eral indictment of certain furniture dealers. "After I sold to the Independent Fur niture Company," said Kirtschevsky, "I went to Gadsby's buyer, as usual, and he said. 'Why, you had better sell your goods to the Independent people." I knew at once what that meant Gadsby's were determined to take no more goods from me. They never purchased of me after that. "When I went to Powers, William H. BeharrelU Jr., told me plainly that, as I had sold a bill of goods to the Independent Company, he could no longer deal with me. He Bald he was sorry, but It could not be helped. He said that I had violated the rules of the association and had sold to a concern that cut prices, and could not have his patron age longer." Continuing, the witness testified that. whereas he had previously enjoyed a good trade, he was unable thereafter to secure enough business fo remain in trade as a manufacturer; that he could not sell his goods and was forced to go out of business; that he sold only about $76 worth, of wares in six weeks, after his deal with the Independent concern, and that although he tried repeatedly to sell to his former customers, they all declined to buy of him. He therefore sold out at great sacrifice, he said. Asked whether he believed that the 'combination" still exists In Portland and whether a scale of prices is maintained nd the usual means employed to uphold these prices, the witness declared that such was his strong belief. Cannot Buy Here. OF". A. Jones, of the Jones Cash Sstore, was the first witness called yesterday morning. He swore that he- believed firmly that a secret agreement exists among furniture-dealers of Portland to uphold prices.. He said that he had been unable to purchase supplies for his trade from several local establishments, and was forced to purchase In the Bast and South. Asked if he knew of any cases of discrimination other than that already related by him, he said that S. L. N. Oilman and the proprietors of the Inde pendent Furniture Company had been grossly discriminated against, and he thought It was solely because of the fact that they were cut-rate houses, and would not enter into an agreement to maintain a scale of prices. He also ex plained that there exists much 111 feeling against Gllman, among furniture-dealers, because of the fact that Gllman sells furniture at auction. W. H. Phelan, who has a mail-order establishment at Front and Oak streets, was next called. He admitted that his firm was at one time a' member of the com bine, and paid a fine last Summer under Indictment by the Federal officials. Later, ho said, the combine officials refused to accept his firm's money for dues, and since then he and his partners had not belonged to the organization. He and the members of his company were once fined $20, he swore, for cutting prices. A scale of prices, said to be in vogue by the furniture-dealers, was examined by the witness, and he showed the difference in prices of his firm and the figures quoted in the book said to be the guide of the "trust" by citing a case. For ex ample, linoleum was listed at 73 cents a yard by the "trust," while In the cata logue of the store conducted by the witness, the same quality of linoleum was listed at 60 cents a yard. Oppose Mail-Order Stores. He said that he had experienced diffi culty in purchasing goods from local wholesale dealers, and the reason given by them was that their country customers objected strongly to mall-order houses. He swore that he believed, from his own experience and from what be had been Grand Central Station Time Card BOUTHJlRX FACU'IC. Leaving, l'ort Imid Rosburg Passenger ... .....
