commercial secret service bodies
which have been in existence for many
years, but have never been united In a
national organization. The matter was
not discussed openly at Philadelphia,
but plans were made quietly for a sub
sequent meeting and representatives
from all the known local bodies were
appointed More than fifty of the lead
ing corporations Of the country deslg-
mated representatives to assist In the
organization Of a national secret service
and the scheme is rapidly approaching
realization.
Although II Is matter that has been
discussed scarcely at all and concern
ing which very little has come TO light
Il is a fact, nevertheless that the great
trusts and corporations Of America have
brought into existence the most COM
prehensive and skillfully conducted Sc
cret service In the world For reasons
that are obvious the big commercial and
industrial institutions have retrained
from making public the details OF the
service, but more than 5,OOO trained de-
tectlves are employed today In this
work, Every large express company
insurance company COZ structlon com-
pany or transportation concern is pro-
vlded with It's force of expert detectives
many of them trained in the govern
ment secret service aud not n few from
the police departments Of the large
m. L.
way company of New York employs
about a hundred, and the Standard
company and the beef and toba, ,
trusts require the services OF an equal
number,
This secret service Is not identical

surance companies had their inspec-
ton bureaus and express companies
their tracers. The modern commercial
secret service Is entirely distinct from
all OF that and has been brought about
by the craze for combination among
commercial and industrial interests
which has seized the American people
during the last few years and It's sole
office is to protect the great corpora
