trust was formed In 1902 and Il then
and there heard from their own lips
the plausible explanations and prom
ises cf better things for the dealers
and farmers. So strong was the state
ment issued at that time by the trust
managers that the fears Of the trade
were largely alleged and for more
than a year, duhing the formative
period Of tibet rust's organization little
alarm was voiced. Then the trust as
sumed more aggressive and domi-
neering attitude, the iron rod OF trust
dictation was brought into play ana
the trade began to realize the deadly
significance Of the combination.
# the Sherman antitrust law APP
plies to any combination it applies to
the harvester trust. The Sherman
law prohibits and penalties combfna-
tons or conspiracies tending to the
restraint of trade or free competition
when doing an interstate business.
Going through the shadow ito the sub
stance, as Frank S. Monnett, ex-attor-
ney general Of Ohio says, this hits
the harvester trust nail square on the
head
Here it is in a nut shell. Before the
combination the dealers bought har-
3vesting machines from twelve com
panies in competition. The harvester
trust took at one swoop five Of the
largest of these companies out of the
competitive field gathered in three
more a little later, and then when the
Keystone company began to cut a
figure in the harvesting machine bust
ness, removed it also by absorption.
So the trust captured nine com
panies and claimed in its advertise
tments to be controlling and doing
80 per cent of the harvesting machine
business. Has this combination
tended to restrict free competition?
"A brief history of the harvester
trust may be in place. It's ingenious
devices and subterfuge remind one
forcib1y of Standard Oil methods.
The harvester trust is in the shape
of two corporations. The "Interna-
tional Harvester Co.. is one and the
international Harvester Co. of Amer
ica'' is the other. This similarity of
name has served to confuse the
farmers, the trade, county attorneys,
Legislators, attorney generals, courts,
tax assessors, secretaries of state,
newspapers and nearly everybody
that tackles the subject. 3.# n
The international Harvester Co"
is a New Jersey corporation formed
in the offices Of ]. p. Morgan & Co.
in August, 1902, upon plans and speci-
fications laid down by Geo. D. Perkins,
before whom the great harvester
magnates bowed their proud heads in
humble submission. The capitaliza-
ton was $4,000, 900, Of which
10000. 000 was apportioned to the
firm Of j. P. Morgan & Co. as a mod
est fee for the kindly services of Mr..
Perkins. 1t may be well to state, in
passing, that ]. P. Morgan & Co.
guarded their interest well by having
Mr.. Perkins at once made chairman
of the finance committee and for the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-02-07

Washington, D. G.. Feb. {. Senator
Hansbrough's resolution directing the
department Of commerce and labor to
make an investigation Of the Interna.

dreds Of letters of approval, and the
senator is classifying this correspond:
ence SO that it may be submitted to
the department with view to aiding
In the investigation. He has received
letters from Kansas, Nebraska, Min
'nesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and the two Dakotas.
The general tenor Of these letters is
to the effect that farm machinery gen.
orally is selling from twenty to forty
per cent higher than it was five years
ago when the truse was organized !:
that local competition between deal
ers has practically disapp that
local agents everywhere understand
that they must sell the whole line Of
trust goods or be replaced by agents
who viii do 50, and in many instances
recalcitrant agents, who refuse to
sign contracts to sell at uniform
prices. are forced out Of business;
that since the trust was organized
they have reduced their sales force
and canvassers twenty per cent, and
where there is any comp edition left at
all trust canvassers swarm the coun-

June "a, 1907. The normal is
progressing nicely, as il has some
of the very best conductors in the
state, Messrs Jones, Guenther.
Peterson, and Bagby.
l think this normal is doing
more educational work than any
of the four other normals which | |
have attended, we have school
from 7;15 to 100 each day in the

is very convenient for the student
and gives them enough time to
study.

many schools being taught yet,
but 1 think about twenty five
more will come in this week, and
at the end of the normal there
will be about one hundred. The

THEY WANTIT BACK
The Elm Street Car Service to
the West Ends
Sought.
PEOPLE MISS CONVENIENCE
Schedule On the Line Is Generally
Knocked Out BY the Recent
Change.

The dissatisfaction over the cutting
off of the Elm street cars at Seven
teenth street. which was spoken of by
The Argus as likely to occur at the
time the new arrangement went into
effect, has grown rather than dimin-
ished as the inconvenience has been
more and more realized and felt.
Today information came to The Ar
gus of concerted move through pc
tition or otherwise TO induce the COM
pany to restore the abandoned service.
The Elm street cars. under the former
arrangement, fit in most handily for
the factory employees down town, not
only as pertaining In the men going
to work in the mornings, but during
the noon hour and at the time of sus-
pension in the, evening. The adVan-
| tage of the service was appreciated
| in the fact that the cars reached and
| left the factory district in the west
end at Opportune times and further
because of the direct connection they
| happened to make in the center of
town with the Watch Tower and Long
View lines. Independent of the portion
of the public served on the Elm street
line itself.
Schedule Knocked Ont.
| Added to the discomfort that is eX.
pressed down town over the changed
conditions. come complaints from the
entire territory accommodated by the
line itself between Rock Island and
Moline. over the irregularity of the
service. The running of the cars only
as far as Seventeenth street has put
the schedule in the air, as the time it
takes to make the run from Nineteenth
street, where the cars formerly met.
to Seventeenth street, causes a delay
along the entire line, and the company
is brought face to face with the alter
native of restoring the down town
cars or stopping the cars at Nineteenth
lstreet, which would prove a handicap
both to the company and the public.
and if anything. more unpopular than
4 the taking off of the down town car.
During the past week the cars on the
Elm street line have been as far OFF
their schedule as Is minutes to hall
Ian hour, and even worse, with the at.
tendant Inconvenience to the patrons
of this particular branch of the system
Where Mistake Was Made.
Had the mistake not been made in
the relaying of -thssSwitches and cross
ings at Nineteenth street and ThiTG
lavenue and Seventeenth street and
Third avenue, the Elm street cars
might have saved two blocks travel
to say nothing of the delay in switch
ing.
But even this would not have
: brought the restoration of the dowr
town car, about which there is so mucl
discussion at the present time.
