FORM STEEL TRUST
English Manufacturers Organ
ize $13o,ooo,ooo Concern
to Meet Competition.
NEARLY TWO SCORE IN II
Action Of American and German Com
psnles Said to Have Rendered
the Step Necessary.

London, June ga great combina-
tion of iron and steel manufacturers,
similar to those existing in the United
States and Germany, is in course of
formation in Great Britain, with the
avowed object of combating American
and German competition, which is in
creasing yearly.
Nine big companies, headed by Wick
ers Sons G. Maxim, and including John
Brown & Co, which recently was ANAL
gamated with the Harland & Wolff
company, have absorbed sc previously
independent concerns, which will give
them control, it is estimated, of aboTt
80 per cent of the steel produced in
Great Britain. The combined capital
of the firms is over $13OOOO,OOO.
Based ON German Trust.
The combination will be based on the
principle of the German trust, involv-
ing the regulation of prices, adjustment
of the output to the demand, and equal
distribution of orders.
What is primarily aimed, it is assert
ed is combination strong enough not
only to control the trade of Great Brit
ain. but to dominate the steel traie
of the world. The London represen
tatives of the American companies
however, do not anticipate any material
cut in their orders as a result of the
movement.
Keen Competitors Merge.
The satisfactory progress with which
the negotiations are. proceeding is large
ly due to Vickers Sons & Maxim, whc
succeeded in bringing together sever.t
of the companies heretofore their keen
est competitors.
1t is pointed out that it is extremely
difficult to complete such combind
tion in England, as it is necessary Z
make public al ideals with reference t,
them to the shareholders of the variou
companies.
