THE RuBnER TRUST.
VIII Hereafter HIVE u Monopoly OF

New York, November 13.--Thc Tribune
says: II is now admitted by the directors
OF The American Bicycle company and the
officers OF the Rubber Goods company that
the two organizations have at last come TO
: satisfactory agreement, None OF the
members of the bicycle combination Will
make tires hereafter rhc agreement be-
tween the two corporations does not siipG-
late that the makers nest purchase tires
from the rubber trust.
In explaining. the situation. one OF the
directors of the bike trust said "The
two organizations understand each other
thoroughly. The bicycle makers Who ave
interested in the manufacture Of tires have
disposed of their plsnts to the Rubber
Goods company for n stipulated price,
which ! do not care TO mention. We do
not sign any agreement TO purchase oui
tires from the company, but The SUPPOSE
tion Is that we may 10 50. For instance, Il
certain manufacturer of bike may for

1t is said that the rubber company now
controls over loo patents covering she
manufacture OF rubber tires and othT bike
