TRUST OF PEOPLE
AGAINST CAPITALISTS
Only Way to Continue "Muckrakln~"
Is for Magazines to Get
Together.

NEW YORK, June 5.-A trust of
the people to fgh. the trusts of the
capitalists. This is the real meaning,
say the magazine publishers, of the
formation of a combination capitaliz-
ed at s4,000,o00 for the purpose of
continuing the work of Undertaking. :"
Discussing reasons for this COM
bination, Ray Long, editorial execu-
tive of the combination which will
publish five magazines. made this
statement to the United Press:
[6y Ray Long.]
Wall street and the big interests
are not going to be able to control
all the magazines In the country but
it Is not their fault They have done
their best to make undertaking impos-
sible. Just how far they have gone
in their efforts is not appreciated out

s. McClure's magazine originated
undertaking as we understand the
term today. McClure's began the
oCoi VI lio ire, " IOiu -. AOChelel-
Ter. This proved a tremendous cir
cuiation builder. ,ItoWas followed by
the history of Standard Oil.
These features brought readers. ad-
vertising and prestige. Yet McClure's
was in troubled waters financially. He
had SO much trouble that he, Sam S.
Mcclure, reached the point where he
did not believe he could continue the
fight. Unexpected financial assist
ance came just in time. Then came
other muckrakers. Lawsons "fren-
zied finance" brought storm to
"Everybody's." That magazine has
since entered a combination with
group of other magazine interests. 1t
has just gone through struggle with
Ben b. Hampton. perhaps the bitter
est fight of them all The magazine
that bore his name exposed the sugar
trust, the beef trust, the Southern
Pacific, started the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy and did many other things
that mussed up the plans of the gent
lemen in Wall street. They fought
back Some time they fought in the
open, more often in the dark The
combination Just effected is the only
method, however by which magazines
can be kept free Its cardinal prin-
ciple is ownership by the people
themselves and cooperation among
the owners. Under consolidation
there will be total of $4,000 stock
holders.
