TRUSTS DO RAISE PRICES,

1t is claimed in justification of the
general rise of prices of finished pro-
duets, that it is due to the rise in the
prices of raw materials; thus, e. G., the
rise in the price of tin plate is explain
ed by the rise in the prices Of steel and
tin. While the explanation may hold
good in many cases. it merely shifts
the blame from one trust to another.
since the production Of raw materials is
also largely controlled by trusts; the
fact still remains that about nine
tenths of trust-nade articles increased
in price. The exhaustive study made
by Prof. jerks for a few selected ar
ticles leaves no doubt that the margin.
between the selling price and cost Of
material has been raised by combina
ton. If the conditions were exception
al in these cases, it would have beer
easy for the combined producers o
other articles to demonstrate it befor,
the commission by figures drawn from
their books. No such testimony ha.
been offered. and the conclusions o.
Prof. jerks stand uncontroverted.-
