32 MANY "TRUSTS" IN ARGENTINA .Wine, Flour, Oil and Naptlia Are Controlled by Big Combinations Buenos Aires, Dec. 5.—A commit tee of the Chamber of Deputies has discovered after more than a year's Investigation that Argentina is af filiated with "trusts." Wine, flour, lime, potatoes, meat, and oil and naptha are described in a recent report of the committee as under the control of "trusts" which have been able to flourish and maintain high prices chiefly because of high railroad rates, it is charged. The committee finds that the "most typical "trust" in Argentina (the world "trust" is put in quota lion marks throughout the report) is the "wine trust" in the great grape-growing provlnco of Mon doza on the slopes of the Andes. It is charged that this combination of wine producers is an "official trust organized by the law of the Pro vince" which is able to pay the cost of the- greater part of its ad ministration out of "the local privi lege created by the monopoly of wine." Destruction of grapes and wine, exportation of wine at a low price and maintenance of a high price in Argentina are alleged. The "trust is able to exist, the report says, by virtue of high customs duties which discourage the importation of or dinary wines and by the aid of tne national banks. Reform in the ad ministration of the banks and tn the tariff laws is demanded. Standard Oil Named. The committee names the Stand ard Oil Company, of the United States, as the "trust" which controls kerosene and naptha in Argentina. The report sets forth that this "trust" norteamerieano de petro leo" has in Argentina a "powerful subsidiary company, divided in its legal aspect into one section of pro duction, another of marketing and transport." , "The commercial practices or this 'trust'" says the report, "are those of a monopoly which wishes to extend even more and consoli date. There is no proof that the •trust' has determined upon increas ing the price of kerosene and naptha in the country, but it is certain •that its prices represent a relative Increase, that is to say, with rela tion to the cost of production. Argentina's defense against this international and almost world wide monopoly" the committee says, consists of encouraging commerce in and production of all other fiia leriuls capable of producing light end heat and developing the produc tion of petroleum as a government enterprise "since every private en terprise will he annihilated or ab sorbed liv the 'trust.' " Dealing witli meat, the report says lhat the exportation of this commod ity is "in the hands of great com panies which are subsidiary to still more powerful foreign companies tending toward capitalistic monop oly." The committee recommends that Argentina organize its own meat industry with municipal and degional cold storage plants and en ter into direct relation with the great foreign markets of consump tion. Finding that a milling trust exists, the committee declares that laws against extortionate capitalistic combinations are necessary and that "we should educate ourselves economically and politically for the socialization of this industry." Weighs Earth by Means of Tiny Quartz Thread Boston The earth weighs 6,- 000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology department, of physics, headed by i'rof. Uouis E. Dorr, is authority for She assertion, the expert having just jnade the deduction for the enlight enment of his students. At M. I. T. they attached two small upheres weighed to the finest degree to the end of a short rod. The spheres were "freely suspended," that is they might be swayed in any direction, and were hung from threads made of quartz drawn to a thickness one-twelfth of a human hair. The investigators next brought into the proximity of these balls two other large lead balls weighing about 10 pounds each. The lead balls, because of their superior weight, immediately made their presence feit on the smaller ones. The latter moved apperciably from the former position. The force that did this was but equul to the weight of a bit of hu man hair 1-1 00,000 th of an inch in length. , . The professor knew the weight of Ihe hanging and of the leaden balls; he had ascertained the force which the leaden balls exercised over tlie suspended ones, lie knew of course the power of tlie earth's attraction upon the leaden balls which is their weight. The matter of ascer taining the earth's weight then was simply a problem In proportion. Diver Goes Down 360 Feet Into the Sea Boston, Dec. u.—John F. Turner, deep sea diver, broke the world's record here late yesterday when he descended 360 feet near Grave's Right, off this port. His previous record was 167 feet. The suit Turner used is con structed entirely of heavy brass and weighs almost 400 pounds. It was Invented by Charles H. Armstrong, a negro mechanic, and is built upon the principle of the ancient coats of armor, with flexible metal joints. The diver's hands are entirely.en closed and In their places are hooks which are worked from the inside by clutches. Engineers estimated the pressure upon the metal suit was 150 pounds to the square inch. Woman Names Niece in Separation Suit New York, Dec. s.—Naming her niece as corespondent, Mrs. Lillian M.
