abroad than at home"
NEW s2O.OOe,OOe COMPANY.
AS to the charge that the Interna-
tional is a trust" the reply is that
it was not a merger of existing cor
porations. but a new one in which $780,
100000 was invested by persons not
heretofore in the harvester business;
that it has owned and operated "all
the properties purchased without in
fiuence or control of the old companies,
and that the great majority of the
officers and stockholders in the old
companies had no part in the manage
ment of the International, but sold out
their business and retired.
TRIES TO PREVENT ADVANCES.
AS TO the charge of increasing prices,
the International asserts that instead
of increasing them its influence has
been 10 prevent increases; that the
seIf-binder sells at a very low price,
REL lively lower than that of any other
farm implement or machine; that sell
ing prices are freely fixed by dealers,
and that terms of credit, facilities fur
nished and expert service are more
liberal than ever before; that, al
though the price of raw materials has
increased more than 80 per cent, its
prices were not increased until 1908,
and then only per cent. and that for
1912 a reduction of 5 per cent was an
nounced last month.
NONE OF PLANTS CLOSED.
Finally, the International denies that
ANY plants purchased by it were
closed or abandoned, but states that
all plants were enlarged and improved
and have employed more men than
ever before; that several of the prop
critics purchased we've bankrupt and
practically out of trade. 1t declares
that outside OF harvester lines it has
not more than 40 per cent of trade in
any line and that in most of them it
has less than % per cent"
