Newspapcrs and Trusts.

At the meeting of the Pennsylvania
State Editorial Association at Harris
burg the other day there was deliv-
erance from editors with grievance
on the subject of trusts. member
complained that white paper had risen
33 per cent in price within the last
six months, owing to the exactions and
power of the paper and pulp trusts. An
other editor questioned this statement,
and said he was getting his paper
cheaper than ever before. But inquiry
elected the fact that he was buying
from a mill not in the trust and under
a contract made before the organiza-
ton of the trust. This was rather de-
cisive, as 1t was strong proof or the
original statement of the advance in
paper being due to the trusts. Finally
the matter was referred 20 a special
committee. which reported the annex
ed resolutions and which were unan-
imously adopted by the Editorial as
sociation:
Resolved, BY the Pennsylvania State
Editorial association, that no trust
should be fostered by legislation, such
as tariff duties; in other words, that
IL trusts are honestly organized to re-
duce expenses, and, consequently, the
cost of products, they should depend
upon their own business sagacity, not
upon government.
Resolved, That holding this belief as
to all trusts, and believing that the re-
cent increase in the cost of white paper
and of type metal is due, in part at
least. to the organization Of trusts, and
that it is made possible by tariff duties,
we appeal to congress to repeal such
tariff duties as serve to protect the
trusts in their extortionate charges.
AS probably two-thirds Of the editors
! composing the state association are
Republicans of the Pennsylvania pro-
| tectionist type these resolutions must
| be considered remarkably significant.
They set forth a principle which should
| be applied to the tariff In its entirety
| TO scores and hundreds of items be-
| sides white paper. The principle is
that mo trust should be fostered by
tariff duties" Yet that is precisely
| what has been going on since the COM
| mencement of the trust business. The
| most powerful trusts in the land exist
TODAY because of the fostering care or
the tariff. And when some Democrat
| mildly suggests that they should be
denied this favoritism instantly goes
up the cry of "free trade" to drive peo-
| ple away from the sound principle
enunciated by the state association OF
| editors, as If 1t contained the germs
of the smallpox or bubonic plague. One
of the most Infamous trust eXtortlon-
lists in the union today is the tin plate
trust and It exists because OF tarifl
taxes under the guise of protection
There are scores Just as bad. VIII the
Pennsylvania editors have the courage
of their convictions and hold the same
principle applicable to these trusts tha'
they apply to the printing paper trust

and disinterestedness are on trial. Face

APPLIES FOR INJUNCTION

VENT REMOVAL OF SWITCHES.
The District Made Defendnnt-COntrO-
yersy Over the Electrical COnnec-
lions ON 18th Street.

Proceedings in equity for injunction were
Instituted in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia this afternoon by the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
Railway Company, through Attorneys Jere
Wilson and A A. Hoeh!ing, tr.. against
the Commissioners Of the District of CO.
lumbia The court is asked to enjoin the
Commissioners from removing or disturb
ing certain electrical switches and connec-
lions on 14th street.
1t is explained that by recent decree or
Justice Barnard. the Anacosua and Poto-
mac River Railroad Company put In an
electrical switch at e street north and at
street north and at street south, to
enable the Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railway Company to con-
meet its own source of supply with its own
conductor bars for use In case OF accident,
or in the event that the Anacostia and Po-
tomac River Railroad Company should fail
to furnish the current required
The bill further sets forth that the 22d
of last June the Commissioners directed the
removal of all constructions connected with
the electrical switches. At the request Of
the complainant an examination and test
was made, regards the switches, by
commission, of which the electrical engineer
of the District was a member. The COM
plainant AYERS that the result Of the test
entirely supported the contention of the
complainant in respect Of the practicability
of the construction and successful opera
ton of the electrical switches.
The court is informed by the complainant
that the objection interposed by the Com
switches is based upon the allegation that
they would constitute a grounded circuit.
1t is commended, however, that the same Is
practically metallic circuit. The court Is
informed further, that the Commissioners
permit other local street railways to op-
crate by means constituting a grounded
circuit.
