GERMANS CONTROL

AMERICAN INDUSTRY BETRAYED
BY "a DISTRIBUTING CON-
GERMS, ASSERTS CHEMIST
TEEPLE.

New York, Dec. 12.-Germany has
seized control of the American po-
tash market, virtually wiping out all
American competitors, in the first
important clash of the new CONNER
cial war;" DR.. John E. Teeple, presi-
dent of the New York section of the
American hemical society, declared
tonight in an address at the Chem
lists club.
The new potash industry in Amer
ica, he declared, was betrayed by "a
American distributing companies,
which he named. These companies,
he said. had signed secret contracts
which eliminated all possibility of
competition with the Geman mono
poly.
Il have in my possession" said
DR.. Teeple, "a copy of new form
of contract framed with the devils
own ingenuity to evade all existing
American laws, including the anti
dumping act and the Sherman anti
trust law This contract is between
the Deutches Kalisynlikat of Berlin
the official German potash mono
poly--and the "a American distribu-
tors. The provisions Of this contract,
with the change of a few words, are
applicable to almost any industry in
the scountry, and If this form of alli-
ance Is to be successful then there is
nothing to prevent the utter wiping
out of one industry after another in
this ountry and the transfer of in
dustrial supremacy to Germany.
''The contract provides for the
amounts to be purchased by each of
the companies. The price feature pro
vides that if any of the buyers is Of
fered a lower rate than the cut
throat price agreed upon the Ger
mans are to be given an opportunity
to meet it before any outside pur-
chases are made. The German sell
er also agrees to pay any tax or duty
affecting deliveries under the con-
tract which may be imposed or as
sessed by the United States govern
ment
"The contract also provides that
the American potash mixers and dis
tributors shall purchase not less
than rs per cent of their require
ments from the German monopoly.
"The Germans have won their
first victory in the new commercial
war. De are the sufferers. IL they
can hold their spoils for year we
are out of the business forever. Up
on that the Germans depend, FOL
then they can raise prices and in one
season easily recoup losses sustain

Then one of the attendants threw
football into the yard None Of
