POLISH SECRET SOCIETY.
Prominent Chicago Poles Deny Its
Existence in That City

CHICAGO. Feb. 21-Polish citizens
OF Chicago are divided on the question
OF the existence Of secret league to
free Poland in case OF war between
Russia and England at any time in the
near future. News Of the recent ar
rests in Lemberg and the statements
by prominent Poles in this city, Is the
principal topic OF discussion among
Poles.
Some deny that there exists such
secret society, others say there is such
a league, but that its purposes are not
to secure Poland's freedom by insur-
rection and the third support the revo-
lptionary views Of Frank II. Jablonski

Alderman John F. smulski, promi-
nent Pole, spoke as follows:
Il have noticed a number Of items
concerning the recent arrests Of SUP.
posed Polish reyolutionists IN Warsaw
and Lemberg, also of an alleged secret
organization in Chicago which is sup
posed to cooperate with the conspira-
tors In Warsaw and Lemberg. AS one
individual wish to deny the existence
VI any secret organization in this city.
In saying this | feel satisfied that the
vast majority Of the Polish residents
in this city are Of the same opinion,
and the Poles now residents under the
governments Of Russia, Germany, and
Austria who are led by men Of mature
thought and experience, certainly ap-
preeiate the present situation.
They know that such m9gefIient
would be impossible and could only re-
suit in greater persecution and that
movement TO overthrow the govern
ments Of Russia, Germany and Austria
would be madness. -

The three former unsuccessful at
tempts have taught the Polish people
to be cautious. Since 1863 they haze

THE TRUST PROBLEM.
Interesting Discussion Before the Coop
er Union Institute.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l--rhe conference
OF trusts before the Peoples Institute
in cooperation with the Cooper Union.
was continued last night in the hall OF
the union when The economic effects
OF Industrial combination" formed the
topic OF discussion. The first speaker
on the economic customs involved In
Industrial combinations was w. II.
Baldwin. ir.. president OF the Long ISL
and railroad. who elucidated the mean
ing OF the term trust" In the first
place, he said. trust was cOmoina-
tion OF capital in order to purchase raw
F.. material; secondly, to pay a high rate
Of wages. and. thirdly. to sell at a lower
price than could be offered by any
smaller combination of capital That,
said Mr. Baldwin. was the only kini
of trust. either economic or political.
that could survive public opinion or the
final analysis OF the great question of
trusts.
Mr.. Baldwin drew parallel between
the rate OF vases paid in the times
OF small railroads. when the average
was $50 month. and the present rate.
as certified to by Mr.. Arthur, Of $50 to
Ss25 month for engineers working
from seven to eight hours day, which
latter result. he said. was only possible
under the combination Of railroad in
terests and economies of operation that
could be brought about under no other
conditions. Mr. Baldwin gave it as his
opinion that the onward current to-
ward combinations could not be stop
ped, and that the aim must be 90 con-
trol the trust and to guide it along so
as to make it serve for the common
good
Prof F. W. Taussig. Of Harvard uni
versity. drew the distinction between
public service industries and industrial
combinations. taking the ground in op-
position to Bourke Cochran that there
were such things as partial nlonopolies.
He said that it was characteristic of
smaller combinations that they we're
uAurf SluSic management. IuQsF the !
watchfnl eye Of the man whose pocket
was affected by the methods employed.
A test of the large combinations. he
said, was whether they could survive I
under hired management. and he con-
tended that some of the alleged advan- ,
tages of combinations on large scale ,
were lllusionary. He defended a tele- /
phone monopoly and said that several 4
competing systems would work as
great harm as if there we're several
competing postal systems. He said the
cities could regulate such monopolies
when franchises were TO be granted.
Professor Taussig said that neither
the protective tariff, railway conditions
that gave advantages TO large ship
pers. nor the reckless Offering of cor
porate privileges in some state was to
blame for present conditions: but that
all together were in a large measure re-
sponsible. Mere prohibition, he said,
could accomplish nothing. 1t led only
to legislative hair splitting and evasion,
