Murray Crane, Junior Senator from Massachu setts, appears to be tho dominant figure In the field of wire communica tion and electrical manufacturing, the combination In tho latter of which Is being Investigated by tho department of Justice. Senator Crane is the head of the Crane company, paper manufacturers, of Dalton, Mass., and is a mnn of great wealth, but the showing of his exten sive holdings In the telephone and electrical concern is a surprise even to those conversant with tho situation. Ha Is the largest single stockholder In the American Telephone and Tele graph company, and therefore be comes a power In the Western Union Telegraph, which the former corpora tion absorbed Inst week. He Is a director in the Western Kiectrlc com pany, also owned by the American Telephone, and now It develops thnt he is a heavy stockholder In the Gen era! Kiectrlc company, the affiliation of which with the Wcstinghouso Kiec trlc and Manufacturing company la being attacked by the Federal govern ment. In support of the contention thnt the interests of tho American Tele phone company and the so-called Klectrical trust are in a measure iden tical. It Is shown thut two directors of the Telephone and Telegraph company besides Mr. Crane occupy similar posi tions In the General. They are T. Jef ferson Coolldgc of Huston nnd S. I,. Schoonmaker of New York. They Slick Together. Again, Mrl Crane and four of his associates on the board of tho tele phone company are in the directorate of tho Western Kiectrlc. Thev are H. H. How,', Theodore N. Vail, S. I- Schoonmaker and .John J. Wutcrbury. Mr. Schoonniuker is a director of the General Kiectrlc also. In trado circles It has been known that although a "community of Inter ests'' existed between tho General and the; Westinghnuse companies nnd cer tain smaller affiliated concerns, the Western Kiectrlc hast been in rivalry to tho combination. What the effect upon its competition will b" through the rccen$ acquisition pf the West ern TTnlori by the American Tele phone, the Western Kleetric's owner, is a matter of conjecture. There are persons who say that an amalgamation of all the wire commun ication companies and the leaders in the electrical industry In America is bound to be brought about, nnd these point out that, were .Senator Crane inclined in thnt direction, he would be the pivot upon which such n deal might be swung Just an he has been a factor of importance In the drawing together of t Continue on page 8.) 11 MEfj ARE SHOT RY OFFICERS Mother and Daughter Fired upon Posse so Father and Brother Could Escape.
