Another Gigantic Trust.

PITTsBURG, Pa, August 9.-One of the
most gigantic combinations the industrial
world Of this country has ever seen Is being
perfected. 1t is the incorporation of the ta-
BILE glassware manufacturers of Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio and West Virginia into an immense
trust. The headquarters will be in Pitts
burg, and the table glass works Of the three
States will be under one management. The
matter has been under consideration for
some time, crystalizing. not rapidly, but
surely. Unforeseen obstacles arose and the
work of making the combination was one of
extreme sl0wness. Details are now In per-
feet shape and the combination is assured.
The economy secured by having one compa-
ny controlling such an enormous product un-
der single management will alone secure
handsome profit, aside from the protection
it will afford against inevitable loss from oy-
reproduction, rate cutting, etc. The corpor-
alton to be formed proposes to purchase the
various plants at their appraised value, al
lowing liberal compensation for good will
and established trade. All factories, large
and small, 60 into this company on an equit-
able basis. All of the Pittsburg tube glass
ware manufacturers are said to be in the
combine. They are Adams 81 Co., Bryce
Brothers, Bryce, Higbee & Co., Doyle & Co.,
George Duncan q Sons, Jones, Cavitt & Co.,
Ripley 81 Co., the Phopnix Glass Company,
the King Glass Company and the Windsor
Glass Company.
