STOVE MEN FORMING A TRUST
Two Hundred Plants to He in the Com
bine-Hope to Freeze Out
the Small Fry.
to proceed

CINCINNATI May 1.-THE twenty eighth
annual convention of the National Associa-
tion of Stove Manufacturers was largely at
tended again today and the chief topic was
the organization of the proposed trust. 1t is
thought that this combine would include
about 200 plants and that the small foundries
would thus be compelled to quit. After the
appointment last night of the committee of
seven to confer with John w. Baker, the
promoter and attorney from Philadelphia,
representing eastern capitalists, the interest
has centered more around this trust commit
tee than in the proceedings of the conven-
tion. 1t Is now thought that the committee
will soon be able to present it's data to the
Baker syndicate and that option blanks will
soon afterward be mailed to all the large
stove manufacturers of the country. While
only the temporary arrangements for the
stove trust have been made at this meeting,
yet it is generally believed that the combina-
tion will be completed.
At today's session the question of modi.
flying the prevailing practice of terms and
cash discounts was discussed by n. H. Burt,
Leavenworth Stanhope Beal, Piqua, o.; G.
II. Castle, Quincy; James Dwyer, Detroit;
H. B. Acker New York; A. N. Parlin, Bos-
tom Edward Bowditch, Albany; w. w. Bald
win, Cleveland and Others with many prop
oSitions for changes. Ihere was general
discussion on classifying as to selling prices,
the grades and sizes of stoves and ranges
and another on the welfare of the associa-
tion, in which cooperation was considered.
Papers were read on "Molding Machines -
by Abram c. Mott of Philadelphia; on "Ex-
port Trade by William J. Myers of New
| York. and on "The Ideal Salesman" by Ed
ward G. Hanrahan OF Chicago.
Resolutions were adopted on the death OF
Dennis G.. Littlefeld Albany, N Y; James

An effort to have him sdescribe

lieves, judging by his own experiences

science. In q recent lecture at the

says the New York Journal. he took
the ground that whatever cures Chris

means that they have had the sufferer

A MOVEMENT TO BE WATCHED.

The sole issue in the late municipal
contest IN Toledo. Ohio and one of the
principal issues in the Chicago contest
was municipal control of public utilities,
and in both contests municipal owner
ship won victory. The victory was the
more pronounced perhaps in Toledo,
where candidates for the City Council
were made to declare themselves as for
or against the policy advocated by Mayor
Jones. and the mayors policy won out.
At the same time Governor Pingree is
encouraged in carrying out similar pol
icy IN the city Of Detroit by which all the
street car lines in that city are TO be abb
sorbed and operated by the municipality.
This is a most interesting study and
has n significance which must not be
overlooked or underestimate. II sew
eral Of the largest cities OF the West are
10 absorb all public utilities, including
their street car lines, and operate them.
we may not shut our eve to the fact that
It will be a long step in the direction Of
national socialism & will certainly help
10 rally those who are in favor Of govern
ment ownership and operation of the
transportation and telegraph lines of the
country.
We fear that a good thing is about 10
be abused The Times believes that every
municipality being to large extent
business corporation, should control II
IL does not own. all public utilities. We
do not believe in giving away valuable
franchises TO private corporations. We
believe that the streets of the city are
for the use and benefit of the people OF
the CITY. and that such public franchises
sbould be made 10 bring 10 the people
the price that they are worth. But the
great danger lies In the operation OF sucn
enterprises by the municipality. The
more employees any municipality has the
more there will be Of partisan politics
an the management of the city's affairs,
and experience shows that the more there
is Of partisan politics in municipal gov
e.nment. the more there is of jobbery and
corruption and the less OF public bene-
fits. So long as the city simply con'rols
these utilities. they viii be controlled IN
the interest OF the public, but when II
