control of the bread output of New York
City, Jersey City, and Newark, and later
through efforts in Chicago and st. Louis
to establish control of the bread industry
in the large cities of the country.
1t is said that the company has been
formed for the double purpose of consoli-
dating all of the large baking firms under
parent company which should prevent
destructive competition by dividing the
territory among its constituent concerns,
and of exploiting patent bread-making
machine, which is said to knead bread
without any handling and increase the
weight OF the baked loaf 80 per cent over
the present weight, with a given quantity
of -four.
The outline of the scheme OF consolida-
ton. with the National Bread Company
as the parent corporation. is said to pro-
vide that the various component baking
companies shall yield to the National
Bread Company liberal proportion OF
their stock. in return for which they will
be granted the right to use a patented
machine which, it is claimed. is calcu-
lated to do away with about % per cent
OF the labor of making bread. and will
be assigned to an exclusive territory for
the sale of their bread
Under this plan the profits of the sub
sldlary companies would be shared by
the parent company. 1t was also init
mated that, as the general company
would begin with owning a considerable
percentage of the stock of the smaller
concerns. only a step would remain to es-
tablish absolute control by the big com
pany through the increase of its holdings
until they embrace majority of the
stock in each case.
According to one explanation of the
patent process of breadmaking. a baker
could take 1875 pounds of -four and by
means of the new machine make $50 to 800
pounds of bread, instead of Z75 pounds,
and thus effect an economy by saving
half the number of men employed and
much of the cost of delivery, with the
knowledge that the balance of stock
would yield more returns than the entire
present product.
This result is said to be reached by
/ pounding the dough instead of kneading it

Bridge.

Columbia, s. C.-In an accident
near a bridge the Southern railway is
building across the Congaree river,
near Columbia, four men were killed,
three injured, one fatally, and two

caused by the falling Of two steel
girders about seventy feet long,
weighing fifteen tons each. The two
girders were hoisted about midway CT
the river above the bridge. The rains
of the night before had probably
caused the ropes holding them in
place to slip. OF the seventy-five peo-
pie on the bridge, spectators and
workmen, who were penned there,

more were Knocked into the river

and so turning on the gas. They say
he had no reason to commit suicide

Mr.. Lyall was the inventor Of what
