Une OF the trust magnates who lately
testified before the Industrial Commis-
sion stated that wages to employees in
the branches Of industry controlled by
his company had been advanced 40 per
cent.
In another part OF his testimony he
admitted that il had become necessary
for the t-ust OF which he was director
to close down q number OF factories
which il had purchased because it was
not to financial interest OF the trust to
keep them in operation.
