HOPES TO MAKE EN- GOOD.
Clark Thinks Trusts Can Exist without
True MonopoIy-Other Ideas.

John Bates Clark. of Columbia uni
versity, said in his address that
monopolics are Inherently evil; and
trusts that are true monopolies have
an evil element in them; but he be-
lieyed that another kind of trust was
possible and that the possibility of
having trusts without true monopolieS
will make socialism unnecessary. VIM.

Chicago, Sept. 1G. - Workingmen,
socialists, advocates of the single-tax
| theory and students of political econ
ony were heard yesterday morning
at the Civic Federation conference on
trusts and combinations held here.
a majority of the speakers spoke in
vigorous opposition to Industrial, fnan-
cial and transportation combinations.
The problem in its relation to the
lEorkingman was discussed. Promin-
enI speakers announced for the day

the conference. The committee on

Labor Leaders Views Given.
James +. Post, editor of the Out
look, began the argument this morn
ing with speech proposing the single
tax scheme as remedy for trust evils.
He was followed by Thomas j. Nor
gau, socialist, who declared that "the
concentration of private property. the
right of man to own all he can get
and hold all he gets. will go on with
irresistible force so long as the prin-
ciple of private property in the things

men" Henry White discussed trusts
from the standpoint of the garment
workers, and was followed by Samuel
Gompers, who combatted the idea that
the labor union is a trust.

standpoint and intolerable. lie de-
MED that prices are reduced under
MONOPOLY. He said the price of raw
material is reduced by the trust who
provoked strikes. and compelled en-
ployes to accept the wages offered or
starve. The trust not only fixes the
prices but terms on which the goods
are disposed of also. The first thing
expected of trust is the cutting down
of expenses, second the raising of
prices. He said the love of money
was the urinary cause of monopoly.
I'll ,Arif is another factor.
He - not agree with the sugges-
tion that trusts could be destroyed by
putting in trust articles on the free
list, because the articles could be pro-
duced as cheaply as anywhere and
foreign competition could not kill
them.
Commence at the Root.
The only wav to destroy them is
to "lay the axe at the root OF the tree,
and make monopoly impossible by
law. Congress should pass law re-
quiring all corporations wishing to do
interstate business to take out Ii
cense granted on the condition not to
water the stock, not to monopollZe
any branch of the business, and make
public all transactions. If that is un-
constitutional, the constitution should
be amended giving congress the
power to destroy every trust in the
country" AT his conclusion two
thirds OF the audience left the hall.
