ENGL AND AFTER
ALLEGED TRUSTS
POST WARCROWTH
Pr0fiteering Committee Looks
Into ActiUity Of Electric
Light Companies; All Prices
Are Same.

LONDON, May 7.-England has
started an investigation of the post
war growth of alleged trusts and mon
opolies.
A profiteering committee which
has been looking into the activity Of
electric light companies and lamp
bulb manufacturers, in a report re
Gently made public, says that "a trade
combination does exist among electric
light manufacturers in this country
and exercises a powerful influence
over the conduct and development of
the industry
1t is known as the Electric Light
Manufacturers Association, the report
says, and has been created primarily
in the interests of three frms-the
British Thomson Houston Company
the General Electric Company and
Messrs. Siemens Brothers. 1t is re-
ported to include from 90 to 50 per
cent of the industry, to fix prices and
regulate output, says the profteering
committee.
The prices fixed by association, the
report says, become the standard for
all lamps sold in this country, whether
made by association or non-association
manufacturers, or imported from
abroad Because of this standard
price policy the general public reap
no benefit from lamps of cheaper
manufacture, the advantage going
wholly to distributors.
Standard vacuum lamps, now sold
to the public for three shillings, states
the report, could be sold at two
shillings at which price the manu-
facturer and distributor would still
have a satisfactory working profit.
"One and a quarter million half
watt lamps" adds the report, sold
to the puohc in 1919 at twelve shill-
ings and six pence each were purchas-
ed in Holland by three associated
manufacturers at about three shillingS
a lamp. They could have been sold
at not more than eight shillings
which would still have left ample
margin for the importers and distrib-
utors. Importers and distributors
between them made profits on these
lamps, of something like S1,4O0,00O
over and above what would appear to
is reasonable.
"Since the largest of the three
dominant firms" continues the report
'is under the majority control of an
American electrical concern, there is
some danger that the interest of the
British lamp industry may be su5ord-
mated to American interests.
"There is possibility cf an inter
national combination compri S n G
British, Dutch and American manu-
facturers which would be able to
control supplies and dominate prices
over a considerable part of the
world.
"Tke operations Of an association
which SO effectively controls an i'm
portant industry" concludes the re
port, should be subject to public
supervision and control"

OLD AND NEW cox SLOGANS.

Washington. - The following inter esting interview with Governor James NJ. Cox of Ohio was published in the hotel column of the Washington Post four years ago-viz, on July 29, 1916:
 "Ohio is not the only state where the people are shouting the praises of the President for having preserved peace in the United States. Our honor has remained unsullied. The slogan He Kept Us Out of War will be the most effective argument the Democrats can use in the campaign. Americanism has been pre-empted by the President, and every other problem of national import has been met squarely and sat isfactotily."'
 This tends to show the caliber of Governor Cox. With him it Is any thing to win, any sort of catch phrase, slogan or anything to deceive CT fool the people.

will enable wireless stations to tell

this experiment is the ability to tell
