NOT A NEW ORGANIZATION
Statement by n Me % Der OF the Spruc .
Butter Tub Makers Association.

James T.. Houston of Stowe. who is one
OF the prominent spruce butter tub manu-
faCturers of the State in converse ton
with Free Press representative states
thHt some errors were made in the ac-
count of the meeting of the Spruce Butter
Tub Makers association, held at the Van
Ness Tuesday. Mr.. Houston. who has
been a member OF the association since its
organization about % years ago. says that
no new organization has been formed and
that no steps have been taken towards
the organization of a trust There Is no
capital stock in the association and really
no combine. The association is composed
of manufacturers of butter tubs and at
their meetings the interests of the trade
arc considered and n schedule of prices
agreed upon. but no member is bound eX-
cept by voluntary agreement to maintain
them
The meeting held in this city last fall
was not for the purpose of discussion of
the formation of a trust but simply to do
wise methods for the disposal Of surplus
stoci:.
Mr.. Houston states that no advance in
price OF tubs was agreed upon and that
no advance of 80 per cent would he pos
fible. No arrangement for II future add
vance in price was made at the meeting
In regard to central agency, Mr.. Hous-
ton says that there is none and will be
none. Each manufacturer will continue
to sell his own goods. as in the past Mr.
Houston confirms the report that the out
look for 1905 is encouraging for the bust
ness but docs not want the users OF butter
tubs frightened by a threatened advance
in price.
