Managers of Trusts and Monop-
oIies Must Observe the Duties
as to the Stockholders
GOVERNMENT CONTROL
SHOULD BE DEMANDED
A National Corporation Law Is as
Much Needed as the Ma
tionaI Bankruptcy Law

It is admitted on all hands that the
trusts and all monopolies have duties
to the public Their managers are as
much bound to observe these duties as
they arc to protect the interests of their
own stockholders. Then why should not
the public have a direct voice in the
management? 1t would not be a diff
voice OF the government directors in a
trusts management might be to the di-
rect advantage of the stockholders of
the trust, as well as a benefit to the
public. 1t is of interest to note that re-
Gently financiers prominent i'll the ad-
ministrstion of some of the largest
trusts nave given public approval to
this plan, and expressed their willing
ness to accept national control in such
a form
The question may be raised whether
such regulation would be a constitu-
tional procedure; but the proper an
swer to this is, that in the present tenn

be found in making it so. The supreme

ready in the present session of congress
an amendment has been presented hav-
ing this end in view. Both political
parties are fully committed to action
of sorle sort for the protection of the
people from monopolies. 1t needs only
wise and intelligent leadership to see
some real progress made toward the So
luton of the question at the present
session of congress.
We are well aware that the familiar
answer to every proposal made for
greater control by governments. munic-
ipal, state or national over the monop-
olies within their borders is that gov
eminent officials are too corrupt, I'M
trustworthy and incompetent to under
take such responsibilities. We cannot
have municipal ownership, it is said,
because the city officials cannot be
trusted to honestly and efficiently man
age water-works or street railways or
lighting plants. Municipal control is
objected to
BECAUSE DISHONEST OFFICIALS
make use Of such control for purposes
of blackmail Government railway reg
ulation is opposed at every step, on the
plea that it will be used to benefit the
ton to control monopolistic corpora
tons through the agency of govern
ment directors will be met with the
objection that such directors would be
bought up and made to serve the in
terests Of the corporation instead of the
public.
These are objections that deserve to
be fairly met; but the proper way to
meet them is to look the situation
squarely in the face. Let us fully real
ize the fact that the public must trust
somebody, All these great industries
must be carried on by men to whom
must be granted powers greater than
those possessed by many a prince of
feudal days. We have gone far past
the days of individual ownership and
control of the great industries of mod
ern life. Our railway presidents and
managers, the men in charge of the
great manufacturing consultations,
and many other like captains of indus
try do not own the properties in their
charge. They are simply trustees for
the actual owners.
The whole edifice of modern industry
and commerce has for its cornerstone
fidelity to trusts reposed. Without this
every wheel would stop. 1t ought to be
as easy to find honest trustees to pro-
tect public interests as private. 1t is
fact that the public has a greater in
terest in the management of many
monopolies than their owners. Stop all
railway communication with some of
our large cities, and
HUNGER AND STARVATION

TO END WAGE DISPUTES.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 25.-Repre-

special committee of the Mill Manu-
facturcrs' association entered into an
agreement yesterday which will, when
finally adopted by operatives and EN-
ployers. result in a definite settlement
of the present wage agitation and ultl-
mately, when sliding scale is agcerI
to, will make wage disputes in this
city a thing of the past.
An advance of per cent. is otferad
to the operatives, to go into effect
December II, and both parties agree
to take up in good faith the consider
alton of a sliding scale of wages which
must be agreed to within a reasonable
time. Operatives and manufacturers
hope by means of this scale to place
the industrial conditions on such a firm
footing as to guarantee steady employ
ment to labor at fair wages and rea-
sonable assurances to the manufacture
ers that they may enter into contracts
for a period of at least six months
without fearing Il labor disturbance
Provision is also made for a settle
