Washington, June l7.-'rhe indus
trial commission yesterday heard a
statement from p, Il. Dove, of New
York, president of the Commercial
Travellers National league. Mr. Dove
said the opinion of the commercial
men at large was that the trusts were
menace to the community. He esti-
mated the travelling statesmen in the
United States at 100000 saying that
the census figures Of $4,000 were
grossly incorrect. The formation of
trusts and combinations wasthrowlng
large number of these men out of
employment. In giving specific in
stances he said
The National Enamong and Stamping com
pany, which depends for It's raw material upon
the American Tin Plate company, has thrown q
great many out Of employment and those re-
tanned have had their salaries reduced. The
great tobacco combines threw out about 5000
selesmen; the Continental Tobacco company
tclegraphed the discharge Of $50 in one day; the
baking powder trust has dispensed with oil ex-
ceptin half dozen men, know Of two sales
men discharged by the trust who were formerly
In the employ of the Cleveland Baking Powder
company, one receiving salary of 5000 year,
the other $500 Their routes, with those OF

gradually, and will cut down agencies In every
city; the chair trust will affect Immediately
more than 800 statesmen, by cutting them out Of
the line. One man writes me the Union Bag
and Paper company has thrown out Of employ
ment hundreds OF statesmen
The number Of statesmen out Of work because
Of the United States Rubber company are 800;
the statesmen retained have been reduced 10 q
salary averaging, 40 | am informed 1880 d
year. The American Tin Plate company cut
of about 70 out Of every 100 statesmen, Ameri-
can Steel and Rod company have been told,
discharged 300 commercial travellers In one day.
In giving these estimates am not considering
the office force thrown out through trusts,
Mr.. Dowd said that the trust combi-
nations had raised the prices of the
commodities they controlled from five
to 100 per cent. in almost every in
stance except coffee and sugar In
these they were still lighting for con-
troll of the field. He said his figures in
this line were absolutely correct being
from reliable commercial acquaint-
anees. This witness concluded by say
ing that before leaving New York he
had been warned by an acquaintance,
a lawyer indirectly connected with
some Of the trusts, that he was doing a
dangerous thing in speaking before
the commission, as he was liable TO "be
crushed like caterpillar"
