a contamination of the deal before now.
AS it is, all of the ends are being tied to-
gether, and beforeslong the users of iron
and steel in any form will find themselves
at the mercy of a big trust. This COM
bination is being formed by the ROckefel-
lers, Andrew Carnegie, Pierpont Morgan
and the so-called DreXel crowd of Phlla-
delphia. The plan was conceived by j.
Loeber We,cb, who is the head of Drexel
q Co., the representatives of j. I. Nor
gan & Co. in Philadelphia. Through j.
S. Morgan & Co., the London representa-
tives of the same banking house, English
money is to be invested in the proposed
trust. The first outward move showing
how the control of the companies IN the
deal is being secured was the recent cleo
ton of Charles II. Coster, who is menu
her of the firm of J. 2. Morgan & Co., as
director of the Illinois Steel Company.
Following this move came the news from
Philadelphia that DreXel & Co. had Sc
cured control of the Columbia Iron Com
pany, one of the largest concerns in the
country. Other important corporations
to he taken into the dea%are the Bethle-
hem Iron Company, Ohio Steel Company,
Carnegie Iron and Steel Company, Scran-
ton Iron Company, Lackawanna Iron and
Steel Company, and the Minnesota Iron
Company. BY securing the control of the
big iron and steel manufacturing plants
and with plenty of ore, the trust can reg
ulate prices so as to practically shut off
outside competition. The ore carrying
fleet which John ID. Rockefeller controls
ON the lakes can be employed in transport
ing ore only to the plants in the trust and
to the exclusion of all others.

Bootblacks in London.

The force of American demand is be-
ing once more eXemplified in London
by the placing at all important rail
road stations of chairs in connection
with the bootblack brigade. This work
is undertaken by the Central Shoe
black Society. There is already such
accommodation provided at Viaduct
station. 1t appears that American
gentlemen visiting London express
surprise that they are expected to
stand while they have their boots
~blacked, as they are accustomed to sit
during the operation at home.
The society has sixty boys, who are
lodged, taught and partially boarded
on the premises of the institution, and
there is an ingenious allotment of their
earnings into three parts after an al
lowance for food required out of doors,
one-third being their own, another
third the society's and the remaining
third going to their bank account, on
which they can draw for special pur-
poses.
