NEWSPAPER OPINION
Consistency in Kent

From Milford News and Advertiser.
The Republicans Of Kent county are
consistent. and their course of conduct
is clearly markedand IS consistent with
their repeated declarations. They have
made a stand for good government,
pure elections and the elimination OF
6cssism. Negatively, they have sworn
to keep one Addicks out OF the SEN
ate; they still maintain that determi-
nation In the state ticket and in the
county officers as agreed upon, they
believe their principles are represent
ed, but to secure proper representation
n the General Assembly, they we're
compelled to nominate a separate
ticket To vote the legislative ticket
nominated By the Union Republicans,
would mean a vote for Mr.. Addicks for
senator; that Is out of the question;
therefore, it is the duty of Regular Re
publicans to support their own legisla-
tive nominees. We feel certain that
none wi.l question the fitness Of John
J. Rosa to represent the interests OF
his community; we are equally GER
ain That his candidacy win be en-
dorsed by a large vote.

IRuSTS AND WAGES

While the Democratic spellbinders
are denounclng the Republican party
for fostering trusts and moncpolies,
which charge the members Of that
party deny, they are careful not to
read to their hearers the text OF dec
ument prepared under the direction ol
Carroll d. Wright, United States COM
missioner and issued by the Depart
ment Of Labor last July, and issued
in bulletin form. While we have no
desire or intention OF defending mo-
nopolios, we deem it wise to take. some
facts from Mr.. Wrights bulletin.
Fourteen of these trusts were selected
at random for the purpose Of investi-
eating the effect of the combinations
of capital upon labor. In order to get
at this effect the Investigators Of the
Department of Labor took the payrOlls
OF each OF the individual concerns q
companies which combined 20 form the
fourteen trusts which were investigat
ed. 1t was found that generally speak
ing, the lowest wages paid by the indi
yidual companies were S. a week an,
the highest $40 week. These wages
were compared with the wages paid BY
the trusts formed by the companies
and the result having been determined
the investigators turned their atten
tion to a comparison OF the number o
skilled and unskilled laborers employ
ed before and after consolidation. Tn
result of this investigation brought T.
light the following facts:
Under the trusts the number Of Ia
borcls receiving from 50 to SIS wee
