Every new trust formed is larger than
it's predecessor in the same industry OF
business. The latest reported is the In
ternational Salt Company, just incorpor-
ated Gn New Jersey, Of coursel, with
capital of thirty million dollars This
may serve as a reminder Of the small
sized clash which some months ago ac-
CURED between the Armour Meat Trust
and the National Salt Trust. The meat
company claimed that IL was being over
charged for salt So it sent To Lisbon,
Portugal and bought some thousands of
tons. An officer Of the meat company
was afterward reported as saying that
the company paid the freight across the
Atlantic, the duty at the custom house.
and railway charges half across the con-
tinCnt To Omaha. and then saved a hand
some sum on the transaction When trust
is pitted against trust the beauties of the
system are very likely TO come floating
TO the surface. Salt is a much smaller
item in the average household than is
meat, and many people would be glad TO
know how much the Meat Trust, itself, is
realizing love a legitimate profit.
