THE TRUST CRAZE.
An American Consul Thinks Germany Seriously Troubled With the Incorpora tion Faxar

An American Consul Thinks Germany is
 Seriously Troubled With the Incorpora-
 ton Fever.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 8--Jacob Muller. Consul General of the United States at Frankfort on the Main, under date of May 27 sends to the State Department a report on the formation of stock companies or trusts in Germany which he calls the "in- corporation fever" He says that he has always looked distrustfully on existing affairs there. The present events, the gigantic strikes by which Germany IS vis- ited seem to him to prove that the social conditions are frnught with danger The strikes are not revolutionary but are the outgrowth Of unbearable conditions. In Rheinish Westphaiia, on territory of not more than twenty square miles, 9i,0Gj people Tevolted at starvation prices. When the mining companies were realiz- ing better prices for coals than for many years past the miners were receiving S125 to slS5 per year. Just now Mir. Muller says Germany is showing symptoms of business fever sim lar in many respects 10 that which terminated in the crash of 1873 IL is talk ing the form of the creation of industrial enterprises or the changing of pri, ale mr. dertakngs into stock companies. In 1884 a law was enacted for the regulation of stock companies. It required a more definite statement of affairs in the or- ganization of the stock company, but it made the stockholders much less respon- sible than the members of private firm. The winnings" as he calls the earnings of these companies, will, he says, be larger and spread out among a greater number of persons, but the people of lim- ited means can not participate as the law has fixed the minimum price of share at 1000 marks. Mir Muller believes that the separation of employer and employed which must result from these changes in business conditions will result in the union of workingmen and permanent war between them and their employers.
