Why HI WHISKY TRUST FAILED.
Officers of Company Too Much En-
GrOssed in Winning Privntc ProRts.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-General John
McNulta, receiver of the Distilling and Cat
tie Feeding company. was a witness before
the Industrial commission today. In CIV
ing some Of the details regarding his re-
ownership of the whisky trust, he said that
it was found that one distillery at Nebraska
City, Neb., had been sold for $40, 900 at a
private sale and later was bought by the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding company for
a much larger amount. There was another
case in which one who was later an officer
of the company had purchased a distillery
and sold it to the company for $3.50, 900 more
than he gave for 1t. These and other things
resulted in the witness filing a bill against
a number Of individuals, including officers,
to recover $500. 900. There are other items
to make up this total growing out of stock
speculations in New York by officers of
the company.
There were no patents that he knew of
owned by the Distilling and Cattle Feeding
company, but it had secret processes that
were of value.
Labor, he said, was only a small factor
in the cost of production, He did not be-
lieve that the rebate system would be re-
vived, nor in his opinion would there be
another organized movement to control the
market.
General McNulta, in the course of his
testimony, showed that the collapse of the
trust was due to the extreme advance of
prices for the products and that the specu-
lation of the officers of the trust in its shares
on the stock market demoralized the or
ganization. He also admitted that as re-
ceiver of the company he had entered into
a general understanding or agreement with
its leading competitors throughout the
country to maintain prices. When corn went
up two cents they raised the spirits one
half cent per gallon and the reverse, he
acting as umpire. The present tax, he de-
clared, encouraged the making of moonshine
whisky.
Going into the trust, he testified, had
proved a detriment to all but a few. The
Carnegie works and similar concerns, where
plants involve such tremendous cost, If per-
mitted to go on, he said, will absolutely con-
troll the %country's markets. The American
Spirits Manufacturing company, he insisted,
was seeking to reduce production cost and
he thought others like it were working along
similar lines.
Attorney General Monnett OF Ohio will
testify tomorrow, mainly as to Standard
Oil.
