A Typical Trust Operation.

The Continental Match Factory. located
at Passaic, N j., was until recently the
property of Edwin Gould. 1t was valued
at $500, 600, but as a competitive plant that
might keep prices down it worth increased,
and the Diamond Match Company bought
it short time ago Tor 81 ,00o, 900.
The next step was the closing of the
factory for good. Five hundred employees,
three hundred of them girls, have been
dismissed without warning.
This is the usual trust programme. Buy
out competitors, reduce the utput, and
being i'll control of the market, an advance
i'll prices is the next step. EMPLOYEES are
not considered. They must he sacrificed
that dividends can he paid on watercd
stocks.
And the public-that great lcthargic
public, bearing its burden so chccrfullv-
when will it awake to the injustice of these
trusts, so destructive of individual effort
and such menace to the general good,
and demand their regulation by State and
nation

What Can be Accomplished Under
Municipal Ownership.

1t was surprising, but gratifying, to read
the other dayin an ultra capitalist contem-
porary 4 glowing account of ''the com
plete success Of daring experiment. " re
ferring to Glasgow'S five wears experience
in the management of her street car ser
vice
The account begins by telling Us how
the city originally owned the track and
had leased it for tenn of years at good
rentals to a private company. When the
lease was about to expire the operatives
struck. They We're paid 1915 week, had
to work fourteen hours day, were fined
for trivial offences, were charged for poor
uniforms and had to deposit so as guar
antee against dishonesty.
The operatives appealed to the town cor
poration. As result, the day after the
expiration of the lease municipal tram
cars, as they are called in Great Britain,
We're on all lines the private company
tried to run competing olnnlbuses, but the
public etfectually boycotted them-and
that voluntarily.
The account then goes on to show how
successful the management of the street
ears has been during the five years of the
city administration, financially and other
wise, and how all the grievances of the
operatives have been removed.
The wages of the latter We're raised from
$40 to Sc, and two years after to Sc IS a
week The men We're supplied with neat
uniforms free, and the system of fines and
guarantee was abolished. The hours of
work were reduced from fourteen to ten,
with full holiday one in seven. A street
car strike is about the last thing that is
likely to happen now in Glasgow.
During the five years of municipal man
agement the number OF passengers, accord
ing to the same account, has been doub
led and the fares reduced neatly One-half
The low fareS-One cent for half mile
two cents for two miles, and proportion
ately cheaper fares for longer distances
have enabled the poorer classes of work
ing people to emgrate from overcrOwded
sections of the city to the suburbs. The
service is efficient and popular. The pas
sengers, like the operatives, have no grie
vances.
The fnancialresult of city management,
according to the same capitalist account,
is no less remarkable. The traffic receipts
last year exceeded the working eXpensrs
by 1921 900, which would have left a
large balance for dividends to stockholders
if the street railways had been left under
private management. In few years
there will be large fund available for
the common good of the city from this
street railway business. Meanwhile num-
erous extensions have been made. Rem
frew, Clydebank and other suburbs have
been connected, and the neighboring city
Of Paisley has joined hands with Glasgow
under an agreement to last for thirty three
years.

COTTON is WORTH MORE.
HOW THE FARMER Is BENEFITED BY T
PDITNnI

HOW THE FARMER Is BENEFITED BY THE
ROUNDLAP BALE.
The Atlanta Constitution, which recent
ly published an elaborate report on the
Roundlap bale of the American Cotton
Company, in discussing the value of the
new system of cotton handling, says: 1t
is quite clear that, in order to raise the
price which should 60 to tho farmer for
his cotton, the commercial expenses in
handling it must be reduced.
Under present conditions, the amount of
money required to handle the crop, from
gin to the factory platform, has grown out
of all proportion, so that its commercial
handling consumed the profit which should
have gone to the grower. Viewed from
this standpoint, therefore, every movement
which delivers the farmers cotton with
least expense to the manufacturer must
be regarded as of the widest public inter
est.
The new methods of round baling are on
this line, doing away with much Of tho
clumsiness and extravaganza of the old
system and substituting one which can
make of every cotton gin compress as
well. The claims Of the round bale ad
vocates show that we have entered upon
an era of invention which means much
to the farmer, and much therefore, to tho
country.

dering Freeman, who was the proprietor.

generously and allowed Brown to leave the
store by the front door,
Brown stepped to the rear door and, tax
ing deliberate aim, fred on the man who
had a moment before gave him chance
to escape with his life.
Freeman, seing Brown in the act of fir

bullet through Browns breast and ere the
echo Of deadly revolvers had ceased, both
men expired, leaving four dead men on the
