ANOTHER ANTI-TRUST SUIT
Proceedings Instituted Aninst the American
School Purniture Company.
TWENTY-TWO CONCERNS IN THE COMBINE
President of the Omaha School Snniily
Company Tulli * About the Muth-
OIH Kmiiloyril h > - the Amer
ican Truit.
A suit has been filed In district court by
Attorney General Smyth , the petition of
which declares the existence of a school
furniture trust , arid asks that the unlawful
combination ba prohibited from doing bus-
lucre In Douglas county or In the state of
Nebraska. The defendants In the suit nre
'twenty-two school furniture companies ,
nearly all locates ! In Ohio and Michigan ,
which tha attorney general states have
formed a combination under the title ot the
American School Furniture company ,
The petition alleges that this unlawful
a ' combination Is Incorporated under the laws
of the state of New Jersey , with a capital
clock of $10,000.000 , and that the sum of
$500,000 has been set aside to be uaed In
driving out competition. The entlra con
trol ot tbo output of the companies and tha
regulation of prices Is said to have boeu
\put \ in the hands of a committee of five , and
the result of the move , according to the
jxjtitlon , Is that prices have been advanced
25 per cent ,
One of the defendants in the suit Is A.
Almas , who la declared to be the agent of
the trust for the state of Nebraska , and uhn
U said to bo at the present time attempting
to enter lute contract ! wltb the Board of
Education of the city of Omaha In violation
of the laws of the state. The attorney gen
eral alleges that this combination Is a trust
and a conspiracy against trade , and asks
that It bo prohibited from doing business ,
or entering Into contracts within the state
and that It bo prevented from entering Into [
any negotiations with the Omaha Board of
Education.
MrthoclM of the TriiHt.
The Omaha School Supply company , an
Independent corporation engaged In the pub
lication , manufacture and jobbing of school
supplies , Is more Interested , perhaps , in the
eult which has been Instituted by Attorney
General Smyth than anyone else. 0. C.
Stanley , the president of this company , as
serts that Its business IB Buffering Irrep
arably by reason of the 'methodo employed
by the American company. He said :
"Along In tbo early part of this year the
American School Furniture company was
formed. It was the consolidation of a num
ber of school furniture supply companies
which had heretofore been operated Inde
pendently. Our company the Onmba School
Supply company Is a regularly organized
corporation. In the line of school furniture
we purchase our supplies outright from a big
manufacturing establishment located at
Grand Ilaplds , Mich. , buying In carload lots ,
which enables us to tfell cheaply at a low
margin. When the American School Furni
ture company was organized I was solicited
to come to Chicago , ne the president of the
Omaha company , and was urged to join the
American , along wltb the other companies.
"I looked carefully Into the matter , I
found that In case I permitted our company
to join the combine we would have to buy
all our furniture only from such supply
houses as should be dictated by the com
bine. It meant an advance In the price of
furniture. In toad of paying $1.50 for fiesta
no would have to pay $1.85 , which would
necessitate an advance in the selling price
of from 30 to 40 per cent. I considered that
It would be an Ill-advised move for our com
pany to join the combine , as we were en
joying a good business and giving our
patrons satisfactory service , and I Informed
the promoters of the American School Fur
niture company to tbla effect.
"Then the syndicate attempted to force us
to join by threatening to open a branch
house In Omaha to cover the territory which
wo had bad almost exclusively. We paid no
attention to them , but , nevertheless , while
the syndicate has not opened a branch house ,
11 has opened an agency here and located
a general agent , whoso Instructions are to
virtually run UN out of buulness and nil re
strictions on prices have been removed.
I'rotfNt from the Omaha Company ,
"An example of Its competition camu
to light when the Omaha School lioanl re
ceived bids for the necessary now seats ,
and right here we have a kick coming
which Is mentioned at length In the peti
tion of the attorney general In the Injunc
tion suit ho has brought against the School
Board. The School Board advertised for
bids on school furniture. We filled ours
and It was a very low one , because we felt
that we would make It so low that If anyone -
ono else got the order It would be nt , a
mighty small flguro. The representative
of the American School Furniture company
also filed a bid , The committee held a
meeting behind closed doors and considered
the bids. This was at a special meeting
held ou one Saturday night. No Inkling of
the action taken by the committee was
given until tha regular meeting of the
board on the following Monday , An un
usual thing was done , too , by the commit
tee In refusing the right to any agent to
appear before the board and say anything
In favor of the scats which ha had to offer ,
The report of the committee recommended
tha purchase of the Manltonoc seat through
the American company and Us report was
rushed through the board meeting without
protest. The contract was awarded the
American company regardless of the fact
that Its bid was from 30 to 40 ceuts lilgber
on each eeat than ours. The American' *
bid was to furnish the seats at $1.70 each
at the factory at Manltowoc , WIs , , while
ours was to set the seats up In the school
house bore for $1,65 , The amount of
freight and expense of setting up the fur
niture would far exceed the price at which
wo offered to furnish the seats ready ( or
use. The attorney general In this suit
has enjoined the School Board from enter
ing Into such a contract. "

which broke out following the explosion
added to tbo horror. Tbo mill was partly

The explosion occurred just as tht night
force wai leaving and the < Uy force wai
coming on duty , * o that there were only a
few men In the mill nthe \ time. If It had
happened half an hour later the Hat of dead i
and Injured would have been appalling. It !
occurred In the fourteen-Inch department
nnd the concussion was terrific. Buildings
were shaken a mile away and dust filled the
air for two or three blocks. It entered open
windows and nearly auffocated persons who
were aroused by the rdar and tb shock.
Fire FulliMvx I\I > | IIH | < III.
Immediately following the explosion the
wreckage took flro and this added to the
( llfllcultles encountered In rescuing tin *
burned and mutilated vlctlm/i ,
A flro alarm was quickly sounaed and In a
short time tbo flames were umlw control ,
i after which the firemen were employed Ih
searching the ruins for the dead and In
jured ,
The first two bodies taken out fere Identi
fied as those of Heavens and Matthews.
The bodies were lying against the wrecked
furnace. The men had been knocked down
by the flying bricks and were roasted to
death by the heat of their own furnace.
The others were found soon after and sent
to the morgue. The Injured were removed
to the South Side hospital , where they re
ceived prompt attention.
When the boiler burst a section of It
weighing four tons was blown through tha
roof and crashed Into the side of the houto
of Godfrey Sanders , on Wright's alley ,
about 200 yardd distant. The building ,
which was of frame , was wrecked , but the
occupants escaped wltb a bad fright , The
flying portion of the boiler tore down the
central supports of the roof , which fell In
and partially burned aorao of those Injured ,
The collapsed roof and torn and scattered
pieces of machinery and masonry formed a
mau of wreckage In which the work of
searching for the additional bodies supposed
to be hidden by It wa slow and tedious
work.
