Would the Trust monopolise the freezing works and the shipping services He thought they were a long wav off anything of that kind. Probably the Trust would require"washing, but there was no immediate , dancer. It was busy with distributing. It did not wish to discourage production, but rather to nromote mc-nh and it would be a long'time; before (lie Trust could think of monOpOlisinp production. Indeed, it no means a monopoly of distributing. At present he was sure there was-.no Particular, need to fear'danger from the. Americans.
