Washington, May 14.-The whisky trust was under investigation by the industrial commission Saturday. Mr. Charles c. Clarke, distiller of Peoria, IL. was the witness. He outlined the history of all combinations of distil- leries in the United States from 1872 to the organization of the present SO called trust. The present organization is a combination of the American Spirits Manufacturing company and the Standard Distilling and Distribu- ting company. The two companies CO., operate, being controlled practically by the same owners. Prior to the organization of the Standard company the combination had not been suffi- ciently strong to hold up prices, but for the past year and until the first of the present month the additions made by the Standard company had had the effect of bringing prices to a profitable margin. Within the past week or two, however, there had been reduction below the cost of production.
 Speaking of the organization of the Standard company, Mir. Clarke said the method of getting rival concerns in was to put valuation on distillery, pay the full value in cash and then give the owner the value in preferred stock and again in common stock. The capitalists behind the enterprise also get the full amount of the value of the preferred stock and 1I times this amount.in common stock. The witness said he knew this to be the method of dealing with the owners of independ- ent distilleries, for such an offer had come to him direct. As a matter of fact the distillery which he operated was, he said, simply leased and had been sold out from under him, so that when his lease should expire he would be compelled either to go out of busi- ness or build. He thought the present combination controlled about 75 per cent. of the output Mir. Clark be- lieved that in the end all trusts would fall of their own weight and that no legislation was necessary to control them. Speaking of the possible ad- vantages enjoyed by the combination, Mir. Clark said he could not say that the trust had gotten any better rail- road rates than he had.

 Mir. Russell and P. J. Grimes busi- ness agent fer the Amalgamated Order of Woodwork CTS, visited the mill own- CTS yesterday and offered to leave the settlement of the question to board of arbitration, but the mill owners de- clared that they had nothing to arbi- trate and the council last night decided on the boycott.
