ments was held at Toledo yesterday

zation. Representatives Of manufac-
turing concerns were present from
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsyl-

Bucher-Gibbs Plow company, of Can
ton, is included in the combination,
also the w. r. Harris company, of

For some time the competition
among the manufacturers of plow i'm
plements has been so vigorous that
prices have been cut to such an extent
that it became necessary for the MAX
ers to form some agreement as to the
disposition of the future output. The
chief promoters of the movement arc
Messrs. Hickox, Null and Hill, of To-
ledo, who have been in communities
ton with the different companies for
some time in regard to holding a con-
ference at Toledo.
An official of the Bucher-Gibbs COM

nication to have a representative al

to send one He further stated thai
tho company had not yet agreed tc
enter the combine and that it woulc
not do so until full report of tbs
