Another victory is reported from LuZon. Our

The rebels south Of the Pasig River are in a

Of Manila the entire island narrOws to an
isthmus less than ten miles wide. They can

open country which lies between Manila and

THE ERA OF UNIONS.
creature.

A change so vast and 80 radical az that In
volved by the epidemic Of combinations Is not
TO be accurately measured in n day. There is
not merely liability but wellngh certainty
that both its benefits and It's vices Will be at
first incorrectly judged. The change has ad-
vanced 50 far already. and shows such signs or
further progress. that its Influence upon the
future Of industry and the prosperity OF the
country must be great. for good or for evil; but
the conditions existing in the various indus
tries affected differ 50 widely that IL Is impos-
siblc to Law down any broad rule applicable 10
all consultations alike. Yet the change has
become far too important TO he ignored by
those who seek TO form a safe judgment re-
garding the future.
The name trust" commonly employed in
ignorance or sheer mental lazlness. or with
intent TO excite as much prejudice as possible,
does not in any real sense apply to most Of
the recent combinations Scarcely any OF them
retain the separate ownership and organza-
ton Of different concerns under control Of n
joint management virtually not responsible TO
either. which gave name and character to the
trust organizations. Nearly all are formed by
outright purchase OF plants and goodwill and
entire extinction Of previous corporations or
dividual owners accept shares which they are
free to sell to retain. They are unions
rather than trusts, and not only avoid the laws
against trust organizations, hut also in great
degree the valid economic objections to that
form Of combination and management While
special features appear in different articles OF
Incorporation, some open To serious objection,
the general character is that of lawful and
proper union OF many ownershps and organ
izations for the common benefit Of those inter
estcd in each.
Wide distinction appears ms 10 the conditions
which necessarily govern TO n great extent the
objects and management OF these unions Many
