New York, June PA dispatch from
Salem, Mass, where the witches used to
come from, tells OF a municipal war on
the local ice trust. At recent meeting
of the Salem board Of aldermen an order
was adopted requesting the water board
not to issue any permits to the Salem
and Beverly ice company to cut Ice In
Wenham lake the coming winter "unless
the said ice company abates-the trust
schedule for ice recently adopted by said
trust" -. tsE ;s:@zgsaI s~@s.s. --> -
Mayor Hurley forwarded letter to the
treasurer of the1ice5 company, Of which the
following is copy: 49, 81 r.
Dear sir-As mayor Of Salem hereby serve
notice on you, as treasurer of the company
which now controls the ice business in this
city, that unless the exorbitant prices for ice
now imposed upon the public are reduced I
shall, under the law, prevent any monopoly
of the ice business in Salem after this year,
and thus effectually prevent the people Of

of prices which is outrageous. The moneyed

and a Baseball Bat.
Some Very Emphatic Language That

/. Several Thoughtful Hours.

pie have, therefore, placed in my hands a
club to knock out the dangerous enemy to
the peoples rights.
In order to fully illustrate the raseaily
business Of this trust toward the poor people.
who are obliged to- buy their ice in o and
10-cent pieces, desire to call your attention
to the fact that for the past few years those
dealers who could not cut their own Ice were
able to buy all they wanted for; about 70 cents
per ton, and / know that there are. at the
present time some favored rich men whose
ice boxes are filled for 50 per ton, yet the
present price charged by this trust for ice
is i pounds for 5 cents. In other words. the
poor pay at the rate Of 1888 per ton, which
gives profit Of over 1000 per cent, and tho
cost of cutting ice Is no greater now than it
was a few years ago under the old prise
charged by Independent. dealers.
Even though other cities may be suffering
in the tolls of trusts and monopolies, yet this
good old city of Salem will fight to the last
ditch against any attempt to corner the mar
ket and initiate the price of the necessities
of life.
Unless am sadly mistaken, Salem, which
has such proud record in the past for re-
sisting military tyranny and wrong, will to-
day uphold its old record by opposing the
dangerous financial tyranny Of the present
time I mean exactly what say, and I shall,
unless the ice trust treats us fairly and hon.
estly, put 1t out of business next year by
| preventing it from obtaining any ice at Wen
ham lake. and will grant the privilege OF
| cutting ice at Wenham lake only to those
! independent dealers who will charge fair
| prices for Ice to the consumer. .
| The paramount cry of the laboring people
of this eountry-''Down with trusts''-shall
| not be heard in vain in this city
). = As have already said, have in my power
a club to konck out the ice combine Of Sa-
| lem, and / now give it fair warning that
| shall swing hard and strong on the ice mo-
| nopely unless it 1nends its ways at once. My
| warning: Is this: Lower prices for ice this
summer or no ice-cutting at Wenham lake
| next winter by the ice trust. Unless change
| is made Immediately, the ice trust will cut
no Nee with the citizens of Salem next winter.
! I SHALL so far as lies in my power, enforce
| the law without fear or favor against trusts
| in this city strenuously as against all
other rings and combinations Of fraud and
| wrong s-:.-.. --.s.: .--..
1 As Shylock Of old was prevented by justice

| outrageous price from the citizens of Salem
