HOW COMBINATION WORKS
ADDISON THOMPSON BEFORE THE

Increase In Export Trade-Higher
Prices Charged Here Than

Mr.. Addison Thompson. secretary Of the
National Glass Company Of Pittsburg. Pa.
testified before the industrial commission
today. The National Glass Company was
formed November /. 1899, Of nineteen COM
panies, located in Indiana. Ohio, West vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Their
authorized capital was $4,000. 900. though
only about s.. 400.00 Of the stock Is out

did not employ the Intervention Of any
promoter. They found that when they
have man with great talent In one con-
Germ they can utilize his talent in all of
them. When they purchase they can pur
chase for all the concerns cheaper than for
single one.
They have found very large market
abroad owing to some of the economies
they have been able to practice by means
Of the combination. There was some export
trade in the products Of the combination
when the firms composing 1t worked sep
arately. but since they have combined they
have learned more about the requirements
of the foreign trade and have increased
their exports until they now amount to
about 10 per cent of the total product.
They do not get as good a price for ex-
port goods as they do for goods sold in this
country. The difference in price is about
Is per cent This difference is because in
Belgium and France they manufacture
goods that can be substituted for goods
made in this country. Our article will be
used If sold at the same price of the for
eign product, and that is the reason they
sell cheaper. The shipments abroad are
large, and they do not have as heavy
selling expense In Europe they do in this
country. They also find In the foreign

PHILIPPINE ACTIVITY.
Effort to Suppress the Junta At Hong
k0nH.


Though the War Department officials viii
not admit 1t, yet it appears that the gov
eminent is moving to terminate what it
regards as the pernicious activity OF the
Philippine colony at Hong Kong and at
other points within the British empire
where the Filipinos have made bases for
hostile operations against the United States.
OF course, nothing can be done to restrain
these people without the consent of the
British government. but the latter having
proved its correct intentions in such mat
tiers by the expulsion from Canada of Lieu-
tenant Caranza, the Spanish naval attacEe.
who was making Canada a base of opera
tons against the United States during the
late war; there is reason to expect that the
same repressive influence will be eNerted
again at our request.
So long as the Philippine junta confined
itself to proclamations and propaganda our
state Department was not much concerned
but it has now satisfied itself, through the
reports of naval officers who have seized
consignments of arms and ammunition, as
Well as from the testimony of the soldiers
who have captured these arms from Filipi-
nos, that the junta is not only supplying
money. but is actually shipping these arms
from British territory, well as from
German territory, into the hands of the
hostile Filipinos. 1t is admitted that 1t
prevent such shipments from the United
States to bellgerent, but the English
law being much more restrictive than our
own 1t is hoped that it may be possible to
suppress the junta's operations by English
good will.

The matter of arranging the moose and
scaffod for the execution will take but
short time, but there are other details
which require some time to arrange. The
suit of clothes intended for Funk to wear
on the scaffold had not been provided this
afternoon.
1t is the intention of the Jail officials to
either a new rope or the one with
which Benjamin II. Smell was recently ex-
ecuted. This question had not been def
nitely settled this afternoon, owing to the
absence from the city of Warden Harris.
The Jail officials awaited news from the
White House and did not complete arrange
ments for the hanging. it being a matter
of doubt whether or not the President
would grant the petition for clemency.
Word was received at 1 o'clock that Solicit
