H. Long of the R. H. Long Manu
facturing company of Framingham,
Mas;., testified beore a house war
investigating committee today that
low bids submitted by his company
lor war supplies brought down prices
ind 'saved the government mor
than $4,000,000. Mr. Long appeareS
tt his own request to answer
:harge that his concern had made
. exorbitant profits during the war.
The Long company,-, the witness
said, did not cek war contracts for
the purpose of making profits.
. Mr. Long asserted that at the re
quest pf the quartermaster corps his
plant was diverted from shoe manu
facturing to the making of other
leather supplies and textile goods.
This diversion, he added, was so
great that the company's factory
since the war has been practically
bound and gagged.
The Long company, he testified,
uot only 'saved the government
nearly $1,000,000 on leggins through
lower bids, but raised the standard
of the product by introduction of
new designs.
Mr. Long placed in the commit
tee's record a telegramwhich he
sent to the Massachusetts delegation
in congress the day after war was
declared urging that war taxes be
levied principally on large incomes
and big war profits. V
