Combinations of leading bread bak-
ing establishments located in Man
haitian, Brooklyn, and on the Hudson
into giant baking trust that will con-
troll the output of upward of 5000 600
loayes of bread q week is the object OF
negotiations and conferences which
are now going forward.
Representatives of concerns which
have three quarters of the entire ssfac-
tory" capacity Of this profitable terri
tory have already taken part in these
Conferences, and it il now declared by
prominent bakers that combination
Is inevitable. Furthermore, it is the
confident belief of those who are active
in the movement that certain of the
important bakers who are now hold
Ing aloof will be found in the ranks
when plans for the trust are perfected.
1t is stated here that similar move
ment has been started in Baltimore, and
it is the belief that in line with COM
binations that have been formed In
some of the Western cities, notably
St. Louis and Kansas City, other
Eastern cities, including Boston and
Philadelphia, may be invaded.
Already the movement here has
progressed SO far that at meeting
held yesterday there was lengthy
discussion as to scheme under which
output and weights of bread may be
con trolled without running foul of the
Federal laws.
The purposes for which the pro-
posed combination are desired are:
standardization of weight and price,
which would mean, at the present
price of flour, either higher price for
the present size loaf or scaling dow n
OF the weight
Reduction of the number of brands
sold in Greater New York, from So to
II.
Distribution of territory so that
teams of given plant would serve a
other branch plants would be excluded.
Control of output in order to limit
the amount of bread that may be re-
turned by the retailer as 'stale."
Two basic reasons have i'm PEELED the
bakers in their movement looking to a
union of interests. The first is that
they believe that today the public is
receiving, considering the price of
-four, too great weight of bread for
the money it is paying. The second is
that altogether too great percentage
of bread is returned by the retailer as
estate" Both Of these, it is contend
ed, are factors that cannot possibly be
controlled SO long as there are 80 many
scattered plants, while both could
readily be handled by baking trust.
