TBAT THRUSH CONFERENCE.

Chicago, through it's civic federation,
has evidently started seriously the move
ment which will determine the future of
trusts in the industrial and commercial life
of the United States. The date set for the
proposed conference suggests that the
Windy City has had as urgent desire to
get ahead of st. Louis as to take any
effective action in the direction indicated.
The ST. Louis conference is set for Sept.
20; that of Chicago for Sept. 1916
Chicago can have all the honor of the
undertaking if 1t is as successfully con-
Quoted as the responses to the invitation
indicate it will be.
Notwithstanding the volursles of matter
that have found their way into the public
prints on this subject, it must be said that
very little of a practical character has
thus far been evolved from the discussion
The only thing made apparent is that
action, intelligent and uniform In char
acter, is needed. Trust formation has
continued undated; and the belief I'M
doubtedly prevails among the promoters
of these combinations that nothing can
or will be done to stay their progress.
1t is a notable feature of the present de-
Velopment Of the trust discussion that the
adherents of socialism accept the trusts
as preparing the way to the establishment
of the social. political and Industrial con-
ditions which they favor That circum-
stance of itself is one which will impress
most people as an added reason for the
speedy and effective interference Of the
agencies of government to put an end to
the movement. The entire movement I'M
6eniably partakes of a socialistfc char
| acter. If, as many believe, the trusts are
bound ultimately to control the output
and the cost to consumers of the essential
commodities of life, the inquiry naturally
arises, why should not that be done bv
the state which the trusts arrogate to
themselves the power to do?
The socialists are mistaken in one Of
their conclusions. The trusts have not
reached the condition as yet, and they
probably never will reach it, when thew
will control all possibility of effective
| competition. If they do. 1t will be
| through the culpable inaction of the pub
| lie authorities. No doubt, if they are al
lowed to progress as they have for the
past year or over. that condition may be
called into existence in time. But 1t is a
| somewhat wild assumption that such con-
| ditions will continue to prevail undis-
FrI--
situation in their own hands as yet There
are essential principles of our commercial
law which, if properly enforced, will pre-
vent any such condition being created.
The sentiment of the country is clearly
in favor of the enforcement of the law.
| and the prevention of trust creation By
tho time the ChicaRa- conferences haa adj
