| COLD FACTS ABOUT TRUSTS. 1 . ....... .. < Methods of Plunders Fu.-iiish Arguments J; for Anti-Monopoly Laws. Competi- | I tion is Stranded, eaters Made <8 I Agents and Prices are Raised. |. Those are facts brought out by the committee appoint fed by th.; le.aislal.nre to inve Aiyat.; the methods of trusts in New York state: * ■ he sugar trust, declared to be an illegal corporation 5 by tlie court oi ir?eals, reorganized under the laws of 5 New Jersey ind cxmtiuued to transact business in. New York state. |! he' bsorbed properties, which could be replaced < : for $10,000,000 or nJ 000,000, and recapitalized them 3 < for nearly $75.000,0g0. a r On this enormously watered capitalization Theodore < ; Havemeyer admitted that the trust had made over 15$ ( per cent a yean S e it was admitted that the trust controlled 0 per cent. 1 £ of the output of refined sugar in this country. < I he sugar trust maintains its monopoly by the system 3 c known as the factors’ agreements. Under a factor’s < ?- agreement a jobber or a wholesale dealer in sugar be- $ y comes merely an agent, to whom sugar is consigned, and $ < who must sell it at the prices daily by the trust. $ I? Ihe factor’s agreement entered into the operations of (s nearly f 11 other trusts. \ ft Figures showed that if the trust had been ratisfied ,) with the same profit as the refiners made when there S was competition the consumers would have saved $37,- (< ;) 6800,000 in the ten years that the sugar trust has been $ ft in operation. z g Witnesses with expert knowledge said that the num- 5 i? ber of men who had been driven out of business by the « ; formation of the sugar trust was nearly 15,000. ; The common workman in the refineries owned by the ’ I? trust seceives but about $1.40 a day. Workmen of the 9 same class in the German and Dutch refineries receive i Ola day. ; The investigation proved that the soda trust, with a |>cabital of but $2,000,000 was earning profits of more-' A than $900,000 a year. This soda trust incorporrted under S; 1 the laws of the state of New York, fixes the price of soda 5 !? to the consumers in this state one-cent higher than the < >? price it fixes for the consumers iu any other state. $ ft The rubbes trust hai acxuired plants producing an ad- !;< mitted 75 per cent, and a probable 95 per cent, of the total 5 » output of rubber goods m this country. It was shown that it had closed down more than half y of the plants it controls, thereby proving that it acquired (l them for the purpose of killing competition. x ft The actual value of properties acquired is not more y ft than $7,000,000 or 58,0r0,000. The capital stock issued ? i’: is over $5 ( >,000.000. ‘ ft It was p ’oved that upon all stand ard grades of rubber 5 boots and shoes the trust had raised the prices from 25 -4 per cent to 45 per cent. ft The tobacco trust’s officers admitted that it was organ- - ized to secure a monopoly and had so far succeeded as to y control ov-t 90 per cent of the manufactured cigarettes $ ? in the United States. « ) Ihe evidence was that the tobacco trust had only paid y 5,000,000 of its capital of 325,000.000 for actual assets. ? J Through the sid of the World the committee w2s able » ; to get at the bottom facts rega ding the great anthra- j > cite coal combine. Ihe evibence was that in February, £ ’ 1896, the presidents of the great coal-carrying railroads ? ; held a meeting, agreed upon the amount of coal that S should be mined during the y iar and allotted a share $ ft to each road.—New York World. ;>
