READY TO REPORT
ON WATER TRUST
Bureau of Corporation Collects Data on Consolidation OF
Production and Use in Connection With General
Electric Company Prosecution.
By JUDsoN c. wELL1vER.

When the trust-busting department OF
the Government proceeds with the
promised prosecution of the General
Electric Company under the Sherman
law, 1t will be equipped with remark
ably complete mass of inforna ton
about the development of the Water
ing put in the final form of a report
frorl the Bureau of Corporations.
The Water Power trust was first dis
covered and exposed to public view by
President Roosevelt Prior to his inves-
legations. nobody suspected there was
ouch ali institution. Since that time,
this trust has greatly strengthened its
grip on the national power situation. Its
head is the General Electric Company,
and the most recent Investigations list

Il be dissolved:
How Its Control Extends.
The General Electric by stock owner
ship completely controls the Edison,
'rhompson-Hou and Thompson
Houston International Electric Cont
pahies.
It has a pool with the Westinghouse
Company. by which all their patents are
held and used in common.
Officers of the General Electric and
its subsidiaries are also officers or di-
rectors In twerty-eight great hydro
electric corpora lions that control so. 900
horsepower actually developed, and
nearly as much not yet developed, In
the streams of sixteen States.
This gives this one group more than
% per cent Of the now developed water
power IN this country.
The same group Of moneyed interests
controls:
More than eighty public service cor
porations.
Fifteen railroads.
Six using cotton manufacturing
companies
Mere than fifty banks and banking
houses, many of them the largest in the
country.
= Water Power Monopoly.
The General Electric is going into
street car and electric light and power
business in many sections of the coun-
try. Street railway systems in many
large cities. especially on the Pacific
coast. are now controlled by this group:
and II Is working back eastward.
In the realm OF water power, the mo-
nopoly has already been established al
most to the point OF absolutism, In many
sections. 1t Is. for instance, known by
the Department of Justice. that four
great companies now control practical

mand may require 1t. Besides this, they
dominate the situation in the cities
where power is required; own public
service facilities. hold franchises for
transmission and distribution of power,
