Sixteen Firms and Thirty-Two Indicted in Bath Tub Trust Case
A federal grand jury in Detroit indicted sixteen firms and thirty-two individuals over the so called bath tub trust. The group allegedly controlled about 85 percent of enamel ware output including bath tubs sinks and lavatories across the United States. Their operations involved control of sixteen factories and nearly 400 wholesalers with annual business around ten million dollars. The trust formed last April after a ten day meeting in a Michigan town with seventy thousand dollars raised to finance the venture. Government civil actions to dissolve the trust were underway in Baltimore as criminal charges were brought from the testimony. Authorities express confidence in a strong government case and urge public approval of punishment for this greedy enterprise which has kept prices high despite low manufacturing costs. The piece also notes aggressive Sherman law enforcement under the current administration.
