Soap Manufacturer to Form Q TrustL
Particulars Of the Combine.
BurvALo, n. Y, August 2-At last
Buffalo soap manufactures has been found
who il quoted as saying that the soap
manufacturers are trying to form Q combi-
nation for something more than protection
against tariff reduction. Edwin A. Bell,
Secretary OF the K. W. Bell Manufacturing
Company, says movement has been on
foot nearly month among the large soap
factories in the country, which had its orr
gin in the East for the formation, not of
soap trust as trusts are generally under
stood, but for combination among the
soap manufacturers to remedy many Of the
evils OF the trade, 70 look after tie freight
rates, and to establish . regular price on
standard goods, q scale of price goods &C.
cording to their quality and the amount of
fatty matters and rosin contained in them
Among what he calls the evils it is pro-
posen to remedy is the unlimited number
Of brands Of soap which each manufacturer
puts on the market 1t is proposed to limit
them TO Q certain quantity. say about ten
for each firm; second. adulteration in soap
is to be done away with entirely, and as
each brand is to be rated and priced accord
ing to its quality, merchant can, by the
price, quickly Judge how the goods offered
him rank, and what their quality is; third,
all soaps 10 be cut full weight according
to the weight that they are represented to
be.
IL a combination be effected, how would
it hold the members togetherr'
"Well the Ideals that each manufacturer
deposit with the treasurer of the combina-
ton certain sum Of money, proportionate
to his business, which would be held for
the purpose of compelling good faith. If
any article of the agreement Is broken, .
fine would be levied, which would be taken
out of this money ana divided among the
other factories. according to the amount of
their business"
But Mr.. Bell Is quoted Is not knowing
whether there is any prospect of efiecting
such combination or not.
