London, July 80. In Its Issue of this
morning the Daily Mail declares there is
no longer any donbt that the three
Jhonster oil.. Interests of Rockefeller,
Rothschild and Noble have entered Into
a working agreement. "Thus," says tbe
paper, "without any publicity the gneiit-
est trust the world baa ever' seen haa
sprung Into being." , . , ,
The combination, says tbe paper, has
been hinted at In messages from Baton m
and Moscow, and It has been more clearly
ahown in the offers made to Russian oil
exporters by representatives of the Noble
and Rotbaehild Interests for the absorp.
tfon of the whole of their output. .
, The exporters have been bidden to sell
through the agenclea of these interests t
ft price arranged by them, or ti fight the
comhinad forces of the three oil giants.
This offer waa made openly an I w ith th4
Idea of maintaining prices and It has
been refused, the Russian exporters xire
lemng to ngnt.
It was doubtless this combine, contin
nea tbe Daily Mall, which induced the
Russian government to Issue Invitations
to an anil-trust conference. The apokea
men of the great combines dwlare It
means a fight to the death, and that the
indepecdent exporters can not hope, to
