The International Harvester Company.
METHODS ADOPTED TO BLACK MAIL THE CORPORATION.
We have received from the AssistantGeneral Manager ot the Australasian branch of the International Harvester Company, Bourke .street, Melbourne, a pamphlet which contains copies of original correspondence which show conclusively that 1 the attacks on tfao business methods of the company were actuated by the most ignoblo motives. We hope shortly to be a position-to reproduce some of this correspondence which is published in the pamphlet under the title ot " Black mailers Exposed." Aoeordinpjo the extracts in the pamphlet under consideration, when the International Harvester Company of America was formed it devised means whereby its wares could be brought under the notice of users in a cheaper way than had hitherto been done. This roused the ire of the Trade journal in which the allied companies in the combine bad previously advertised largely, and it set going a campaign of opposition to the International Company which, however, seems to have ended disasterously for the Americau journal (h question. Certainly the Harvester Tiust has been the subj ot of considerable comment in regard to its working but from a perusal of the pamphlet it seems these attacks were due to interested individuals setting out with the deliberate intention of damaging the Trust because the Trust would not listen to their terms.
