Electric Light Companies Combine

An agreement has been entered into by
several electric light companies at Chicago
to cut the price on lamps in order to
squeeze the small concerns out of exist
ence. The Edison. Thomas Houstan. Brush
Schuyler. Fort Wayne-Jenny and one OF
two others are said to be foremost in the
scheme. Prices have recently been cut 2.
per cent. Small incandescent lamps that
formerly sold at A. cents, now sell at 81 L.
1t is said that the large concerns are losins
considerable money in their efforts to clean
out the small concerns. They are tired OF
the slow proceedings of law to protect them
from infringement and are now undersell-
ing at a price that will, II is claimed, soon
shut up all the small factories.
