Ex-secretary Charles S Fairchild holds
that trusts are the necessary result of
steam and electricity. He may be right,
because it is possible that both have quail
ties and powers yet undiscovered But We
should like to be informed if steam and
electricity, naturally and of necessity,
make secret rebate deals with transporta-
ton systems and thus ruin non-trust man
ufacturers; and If il is true that steam and
electricity OF theft own vigor monopoIize
the entire control and production of a
prime national necessity, like anthracite
coal, and concentrate such things in the
hands of half a dozen trust magnates Mr..
Fairchild's logic ought to have been kept
