manufacture and distribution Of
rubber in the United States will be
ABSOLUTELY under the control
of Senator Aldrich and his associ-
ates. They will get the full bcne-
fit of the increased tariff on rubber
tariffs carried in the AldriCh- Payne
bill.
, Officers of the United States Rub
Der Company (thc manufacturers
trust) at AZ Broadway refused to-
day to discuss the heated denial
made by Senator Aldrich of Sena-
tor Bristow's allegations that the
tariff on finished rubber products
to be raised from so to IS per cent
ad valorem for the benefit of him
self and associates in the two trusts
They also refused point blank to
give out the names of the stock
holders of their company.
AS an offset to Senator AldriCh 5
positive statement that there are
no relations between the two trusts
and that the interests he represent
ed in the Intercontinental will in
no way profit by the increased tar

Colonel Samuel 2. Colt, president
of the United States Rubber Com
pany, communicated three years
ago to the stockholders of his CON
Germ.
In that report Colonel Colt refers
to the General Rubber Company,
since absorbed by the Aldrich Com

ufacturing trust He also stated
that there had been affected a
harmonious arrangement between
the General Rubber Company and
the Continental Rubber Company
(also absorbed by the Aldrich trust

gOtiations with the InterContinen-
tai company. He said there had
been transactions of the directors
of the company had participated
While giving no details in the ne
gotiations he stated that harmony
and cooperation had been secur-
ed between his company and that
of Senator Aldrich.
In an interview with Senator Al
drich, published by the Hearst
newspapers, July %, the Senator

NAL of Senator BristoW ; charges
than he made several days ago.
That man Bristow is telling a
pack of lies on me-, - furiously de
clared the Rhode Island Senator,

Neck. He manufactures his lies

on, that | would not know where
to begin were to undertake to
deny them
