THE BOOK TRUST.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 12.-The Amer
lean Book company is the NEW school book
trust. 1t is made up of combine of the
great school book firms. The firm of Van
Antwerp, Bragg & Co., of Cincinnati, the
last to enter the book trust, recently Sc
cured the contract for furnishing the city
of st. Paul with school books. The con-
tract was obtained quietly, being engineer
ed through the board of education without
any publicity and at high figure. Van
Antwerp, Bragg & Co., have, and want
the contract transferred to the trust. This
schemes is fought by firms not in the COM
bine and the board of education whose
eyes have been opened.
The combine having secured, as was
supposed, the st. Paul company's contrat
with the state sought to shut it out of any
direct profit by failure to include any of
its publications IN the trusts price-list.
The state authorities, hLwever, nipped
this scheme in the bud by ruling that the
contract was entered into with D. D. Mer-
rill, president of the st. Paul company,
Individually and that he possessed no
right to assign it. This ruling practically
shuts the trust out of Minnesota
