ECONOMIC POSTAGE BILL.
House Committee to Act on 1t at the
Next Meeting.

The House Committee on Postoffices and
Postroads is considering the merits of the
Economic Postage bill, a proposition that
business men generally are interested in.
1t has developed that at yesterdays meet
ing of the committee only three members
expressed opposition to it, and Chairman
Loud said that ii had been decided to give
the bill right of way at next Tuesdays
tion as to a report would probably be
taken.
The bill provides for the employment of
coupon envelopes and postal cards in the
solicitation of trade, by which the sender
Of such cards and envelopes pays the full
rate of postage required by law. but will
not ray return postage unless the card or
envelope is actually returned The cou-
pons serve in lieu of stamps, and will be
redeemed by the United States Economic
Postage Association, which owns the pat
ent.
Business men back of the bill claim they
will save a big percentage of millions Of
dollars now spent annually in sending
cards and stamped envelopes soliciting
trade, barely 10 per cent of which is ever
returned to them and as 80 per cent of
loss discourages the use of the mails for
trade purposes, the revenue to the Govern
ment is not what it would be if the bill be-
comes law.
The bill has been favorably reported by
committees of Congress five times and has
passed the Senate twice.

TRUSTS IN UsTRIA-HUNGARY.
4 Condition of Affairs Resembling
That in America.

Frank w Martin. United States Consul
to Reichenberg. has written 10 the De-
partment Of State concerning trusts in
Austria Hungary as follows;
There is a marked tendency in Austria
toward the formation OF trusts out of in
dustries competing in the same line of
products.
The hat-makers have organized TO Dro-
mote their interests. The paper factories
have formed a union. Makers of sugar and
Of saccharine products have a close or
ganization and recently met to consider
an increase of prices. The shoe factories
have a compact union and have resolved
TO raise the price of footwear Makers of
knit goods have combined TO reduce certain
expenses. A corporation formed at Buda-
pest is acquiring possession of the gas
plants throughout Hungary.
'All these combinations are new, having
been formed within the past year There
are also various older combinations While
all are not trusts as the word is gener-
ally understood in the United States, yet
their object is in every case the same-to
increase profits by advancing prices or by
reducing production or expenses.
1T is worthy of note that Austria has no
protective tariff except on a very few ar
ticles-cigars and tobacco, for instance the
traffic in which is a government monopoly.
The almost prohibitive duty on canned and
bottled food articles is not protective in
a commercial sense. The high tariff is i'm
posed because the sealed goods cannot be
examined. the same articles in bulk pay-
ing but a fraction of the sealed rate

At the meeting last week the committee

Dissenting Opinions.

Mr.. Lorimer, however, makes the follow
ing reservation: Il concur in the recom-
mendations of the Commission on Indus
trial Combinations, but withhold my
judgment on transportation corporations
until testimony now being complied by
the Commission is submitted 10 Congress,
with recommendations.
Mr. Clarke makes this individual state
ment: Il concur in all except paragraph
marked (b). 1t seems to me better that
rates fixed by Interstate Commerce Com
mission should not go into effect in case
OF appeal until affirmed by court and that
trial on appeal should be expedited
In reviewing the evidence. the report
saws that il is necessary to keep clearly
in mind that great capital or great COM
bnatfon of capital has no necessary rela-
ticn to monopoly, though it seems to be
established that a virtual monopoly may
at times be secured through the influence
that Genes from capital" Continuing the
review of evidence. the Commission says:
Among the causes which have led to
formation Of industrial combinations most
of the witnesses were of the opinion that
competition so vigorous that profits Of
nearly all competing establishments were
destroyed. is to be given the first place.
Even Mr.. Havemeyer said this, though. as
he believed that in many cases the compe-
tition was brought about by the fact that
too high protective tariff had tempted
many rivals into the field, he named the
customs tariff as the primal cause. Many
of the witnesses say that their organiza
tion was formed 10 make economies, to
lessen competition, and TO get higher
profits-another way Of saying that compe
tition is the cause without Conceding that
the separate plants were forced TO COM
bne. One or two witnesses simply men
tion the higher profits wanted or some
like ambition. as when chairman Gates
asserts that the American Steel and Wire
Company was formed because its organiz-
ers wished TO be the wire manufacturers
OF the world
The methods by which the combinations
hope to effect savings so as to keep new
competitors from coming into the field will
be mentioned under the advantages of com
bination. but it may be noted that they
usually assert that they expect the in
creased profits to come from savings and
lessened cost of production and not from
higher prices.
The commission proceeds to discuss the
form Of organization of the various trusts
and speaks OF the special advantages which
trusts find under the laws of New Jersey.
The report holds that over capitalization is
an evil against which special legislation
must be directed. and enters into a general
discussion of the subject. Other subjects
treated exhaustively in the review of evil
denCe are prices. the factor system, export
trade trusts and the tariff. and freight dis
criminatiUns. In conclusion. the Com
mission quotes various authorities in
regard to the advantages and the evils of
industrial combina tions.
