roLEDo,s MAYOR NOT WORRIED
OVER GROWTH OF TRUSTS.
SAYS SOCIALISM is NEXT STEP
LEADING DIRECTLY TOWARD "Co.
OPERATIVE COMMONWEALTH"
Trusts, Declares Mayor Jones. Are
Proving the Merits of Assocfa-
tiOn in Industry and Are
Paving Way for Public
Ownership.

CHICAGO, June 2O-Mayor s. NJ. Jones,
of Toledo, in letter to the Record on
trusts, says:
Il wish to say that I am inclined to re-
gard the great growth of these organiza-
tions within the last few months rather
complacently.
II believe in large programme for So
ciety 1 believe it to be our duty and priv
ilege in this republic to find plan big
enough to provide for all of the people,
and 1 see in the growth of the trust an
indication of the growing movement TO-
ward collectivism.
II believe in brotherhood. The trust IS
the American brotherhood QimiteO. The
trust is preparing the way, showing So
ciety the great benefits that may be derived
through association in industry and the
great economic value of association, both
in production and distribution An inven-
tion that lightens the burden of the world
toilers and makes it possible for one man
to do the work of twelve is called labor
saving machine Does it matter whether
the machine is made of wood and iron or
composed of organizations and associations
of men? If the result is the same it is
labor-saving machine. In this sense the
| trust is a labor-saying machine.
THE triumph of the trust is one of the
marvels of the closing years of the nine
| teenth century; but it is an economic de-
velopment, strictly in the line of progress,
| and our problem is not how to destroy
| them, but how to use them for the good
of all. Like their prototype, the labor-sav-
| ing machinery, constructed of wood and
iron, they have come to stay.
What shall we do with trust, with the
| continually increasing armies of unem-
ployed thrown out by these organizations?
| reply we must organize government tso-
| ciety) in the interest of all, for the good
of all, so that we may utilize the economic
| side of the trust.
I'VE must leave off the word Qimited)
from the great American brotherhood that
| have referred to- and must own and oper-
ate the trust for the benefit of the peo-
pie, as we now own and operate the post
office trust. The profit that accrues to the
organizations known as trusts belongs TO
society and may be properly called the in-
crement of associated organizations
Equality of opportunity or brotherhood
is the goal for which the race is struggling,
and the t. st while purely selfish in its In
spiration, is the expression of the great
social spirit now stirring the hearts OF
the people
1.-The movement toward municipal owner
ship, toward public ownership. toward co
operation of every sort, indicates the chan
| mel through which the people are to come
into the possession of their own. Whel
they are thoroughly enlightened they VII
simply retake, in perfectly orderly way
the properties that have passed out o
I their hands and become private property

COLLECTING FOOD SAMPLES.
His Investigations as to Adult
terated Articles.

WASHINGTON, June 20-Professor s. v.
Wiley, chief chemist of the agricultural de-
partment, has returned from New York,
where. in the past few days. he collected
a large number of food samples, princi-
pally prepared articles, which have been
shipped to the department laboratory for
analysis. Professor Wiley made his pur-
chases in the open market and as the
storekeepers did not know him, he feels
there is no question but that the samples
secured are fair specimens. of the CONNER
cial life of the various food preparations in
question.
The analysis of the samples will form the
basis of discussion for the session of the
congressional pure food committee, which
will meet in New York in September. The
committees recent session in Chicago
brought to light large amount of inter-
esting data on the subject of food adulteca-
ton. over which the department is still
working, and it is thought that the New
York session will be equally important.

JOB PREsSMEN LOSE.
International Union Refuses to Per-
NIT Them to Organize Branch
Unions.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 2o.-The
convention of the International Printing
Pressmen's Union to-day decided that job
pressmen could not organize branch unions,
but should continue either as pressmen or
assistants. The job men urged that the
constitution of the union did not recognize
them, while they are capable of looking
after their own particular interests. They
say they will bring the question up at
every convention until they get the de-
sired change in the union laws. The union
declined to give it's consent, claiming that
the tendency is too much towards dividing
the union into classes, thereby weakening
present unions, both in membership and
finances.
