TO COMBAT GAS TRUST.
Consumers Organization Planned
Final Decision Distant.

A plan was set afoot yesterday for the organ
ization Of gas consumers league to combat the
trust in its efforts to defeat the act Of the Leg
islature reducing the price of gas from 81 to 80
cents a thousand feet
Several lawyers visited the federal court in
the Postof1ce Building yesterday and carefully
examined the documents in the litigation and
the order Of Judge Lacombe continuing the 81
rate pending final decision in the case. meet
ing to consider plan of action was held in the
afternoon at the Office OF ex-Assemblyman
Samuel F. Hyman. at No. 3O2 Broadway and it
was decided TO prepare call for a general meet
ing which will be issued tomorrow or Friday
The executive committee OF the Independence
League, which had instituted legislative in
vestigation of the gas monopoly In 1905. met yes
terday al the Gilsey House and adopted resolu-
tons denouncing the injunction OF Judge
Laconbe II was resolved to institute legal pro-
ceedngs to secure to the consumers of gas the
benefits intended TO be conferred by the legisla-
tive act.
Thirty-seven thousand dollars was added yes
terday TO the amount held by Commissioner
Shields as special master for the United States
Circuit Court. on account Of the 70 per cent
Of the May gas bills. The check for this amount
came from the New York Mutual Gas Light
Company. and was deposited by Commissioner
Shields in the Citizens Central National Bank
The Consolidated Gas Company has contributed
S204090 and the New Amsterdam Gas Company
So, 600.
The order Of Judge Lacombe requires the three
companies operating in Manhattan to remit
weekly. The money will be held until the court
either grants or refuses the injunction. Argu-
menfs are to be heard June 4. In case the
injunction is granted. the money will remain in
bank until the United States Supreme Court has
passed on the legality of Judge Lacombe's action.
The final decision seems to be about four years
of, at which time the fund held by the Commits
sioner will probably be about $25,000,0O0.
