 Church Laid

Hundreds were turned away Sunday on the closing day of the fifty-eighth annual session of the Alabama confer enee of the Methodist Episcopal church held at Tarrant City. The large church auditorium proved inadequate to care for the large number of persons inter ested in the proceedings.

GERMAN TRUSTS . ALLYING WITH 2. FOREIGN FIRMS
Huge Steel And Banking
 Mergers Mark Berlin s Activity
Heased Wire To The Age-Herald.)

(LeaSed Wire TO Ine ASe'herdlu.J
 BERLIN, Oct. 26.-Germany is still building business mergers. The process of industrial consolidation which blossomed with the imitation days is now in full bloom under stabiliza- ton.
 Statistics covering the period from April to August, 1924, show that the great Shines firm-pioneer in "ver- ticaF' trust building-is continuing It's earlier course, with many lesser lights initiating. Faithful to the hard rules set up by it's later master the Shines outfit has made another important in road in the independent banking busi ness of the country by obtaining through option, control over the Farmer Bankverein.
 Controls Banks
 The Mannesmann combine, also a family-owned organization, has followed the same principle of gaining control over the banking business, and has thus become independent of outside financial capital. It obtained important inter ests in the Bank Fuer Innen-Uhd Aus sen-Handel. This combine was formed chiefly for the sake of safeguarding in terests in Spain.
 The Krupp firm has extended its con- nections abroad through decisive par. ticipation in the recent foundation ot the union naval levante at Barcelona This participation of Krupps in con cerns operating abroad is significant ot the tendency of big German industry to thus regain opportunities for produc' ton of which it was deprived by the Versailles treaty.
 Another important alliance made by German firms during the last six months is that of the Bayer Dye Works at Levarkusen, with the Grasepi Dye stuffs corporation at Cleveland. The Frankfort firm of J. Adler, Jr., and the Berlin Banking House Hardy and Com pany, has also formed American allian- ceS.
 Firm Combines
 The A, D. G.-The German General Electric company-had founded in close succession the International A. E. G., at Amsterdam, and the TechnischG Handelegesellschaft at Belgrade, thus gaining more immediate control over the markets in those countries.
 The metal firm of Beer, Sondheimer and company also obtained control over foreign concerns. It bought among others an important metal concern ln Holland, and the Morse Electric Metal industrie in Norway.
 Another important combine recorded in the list of statistics is that formed by the Deutcshe Erdocl company and the Deutsche Petroleum company. The new merger aims at joint action in the trade with Russian oil.
