PLAN INTERNATIONAL TRUST
German and American Tube
Manufacturers to Confer.


London, June ia conference VIII DC
held on Monday at Dusseldorf between
the German and American tube manu-
facturers. with the object Of forming an
international combination. The move
ment Is an attempt to revive the agree
ment Of a few years ago, which IL was
found impractlcable to maintain ana
which collapsed almost before 1t was In
working order. No English tube manu-
facturers will be present at the confer
ence.
The Scotch and English manufacturers
have had a gentlemens agreement for
the last two years. and prices generally
have been adhered to and the arrange
ment found satisfactory. British tube
exports at this time, however, are in
creasing. despite the strenuous competi-
ton OF the Germans and the Americans,
but the export trade is unsatisfactory.
1t is done on small profits. and an In
ternational agreement on the subject is
recognized TO be obligatory. An English
manufacturer said yesterday that 1t is
too early yet to speak definitely. but he
does not think an agreement on the lines
Of the old one would succeed Not only
prices, but discounts and credits have
to be considered. The Germans are more
liberal in these matters than the English
or Americans
To be successful, he added, the agree
ment must provide for a central sales
Office for all the countries concerned,
otherwise there can be no effective CON
troll OF individual manufacturers. Final
ly. he remarked that ne did not see how
Americans could join on account Of the
Sherman antitrust law.
