NEW YORK. September 25.-The
Evening World says:
A great trust in base ball and pro-
fessional athletics is being organized by
magnates of the National league, head
ed by President Hart. of the Chicago
club and Andrew Freeman. of the New
York club.
Articles of incorporation OF the Ma
tional Athletic Company, which Is to
be the name of the new combination
have been drawn up, and the promoters
expect to complete the project so rap
idly that they will have control of pro-
fessional athletics before the opening
of the season next spring.
A tremendous saving in expenses and
the abolition OF the costly warfare now
waged between rival organizations and
between rival maGnates and players is
contemplated
whether Hart and Freedman and
their associates expect to seek the con-
troll at once OF cricket. athletic sports
and other branches outside Of base ball.
they will not say. The contemplated
capital stock is 5000. 900. The main
object of the combine will be to merge
the National and American leagues.
President Hart, of Chicago, first
preached the subject several months
ago. He had first exhausted every ar
gument to induce his brothers In the
National league to make terms Of peace
with the American league.
Presidents Brush. Freedman and
others, however, would not join in the
harmony move Freedman at first was
equally averse to the trust idea, but 1t
had so many seeming advantages that
he at last Joined with Hart In the pre-
liminary negotiations.
Soden, of Boston. and Rogers, or
Philadelphia. are two Of those so far
left out of the negotiations. 1t is re-
ported that Robinson, of st. Louis, Is
interested in the matter already, but
the inner circle is being kept small and
none of the men known to be involved
will talk of the details.

A RADICAL REDUCTION
In Wages Mny Cause Another Strike
of steel Trust Employees.

CHICAGO, September 25.-Anoth er
strike of steel workers that may ex-
END to the South Chicago plant of the
Illinois Steel Company is a probability.
Within three days of the settlement Of
the Amalgamated Association strike
the Bay view steel workers have de-
clared their intention of again aband-
oning work because of radical reduc-
ton of their wage scale by the COM
pany.
On Monday the rollers were inform
ed that tie tonnage rates on which
they worked had been reduced mater
Tally, in some cases being cut from
SIPS to 40 cents. The rollers are
members OF the Amalgamated body,
and w. c. Davis, vice president of the
district was sent for to demand the
restoration of the scale.
Refusal 20 do this will result in an
other strike. but under the terms fixed
by the treaty of last week, the strike
will not extend to the other plants of
the company where agreements and
wage scales have been secured.
The officials of the Steel Corporation
are reticent upon the subject of a re-
duction in the South Chicago scale and
refuse to discuss the Bay View situa-
ton.

was that 1t extend it's line within speci-
fed time across the p, w. & KY. track

they will fight the electric roads in the
highest courts of the land before they will
