Knights of Labor and Trusts.

The recent sessions of the general
assent bly, of the Knights of Labor held
in Boston would seem to indicate the
attitude of labor unions in opposition
to trusts, and the following extract
from the report submitted at that
meeting by General Master Workman
John y. Parsons clinches this argu-
ment:
During the coming year the coun-
try will be again excited over the
issues that will arise in the contest
that will be wage1 for the control of
the affairs of this country for the sue
ceeding four years. Perhaps the most
important of these will be the trusts,
for who has not observed the progress
they are making, and who will con-
tend that they carry any charm for
the wage worker? The concentration
of wealth as employed in the indus
tries of our country has made many
strikes during the last few years,
which have resulted to the working
mems detriment wherever such COM
binations have been effected. How to
meet it is a question that should be
given your careful consideration"

The milk trust in the east must be
a cheerful thing to the farmer. 1t
has advanced its prices to the con-
sumers in eastern cities four times in
the last month. The latest raise will
increase its income about 81, 500 a
day. There is no record of its having
raised the prices to the individual
farmer, from whom it buys milk.
But then neither the farmer nor the
consumer belong to a trust. Why
should they expect to share in this
kind of prosperity?

change the devotion and admiration

Dewey. The whole affair, recently

to the fact that the lesson of the

absolute interdependence of the two

operations by uprooting the entire
protectionist system, which is at once
their origin and bulwark.
