SPEECH
Made to Chamber
of Commerce
By Lord Salisbury Too
Optomistic,
tEs y
English People Fear
Hard Times,
And Manufacturing Industries
Quit Paying Dividends.

london, March (Spl)-Commer-
cial circles do not agree with the
cheerful optimism of Lord Sails
bury's speech before the associated
chambers of commerce of the United
Kingdom, in which he attributed the
present feeling of depression in Eng
lish trades to "the natural pessimlsm
which attends as nemesis on all great
success" and advised all those who
intended to earn living in commerce
to know French and German and pos
sibly Spanish.
Critics of the speech point to the
fact that the NORTHEASTERN Steel Co.
announces, for the first time in 6
years, that it can pay no dividend, and
attributes its failure to do so to Amer
+ lean rivalry in the steel trade.
They also point out that the cotton
manufacturers of Manchester, in an
ticipation of diminished demand for
their goods, have arranged with their
employees for sliding scale of wages,
the wages to go down with n decrease
OF profits. They point to the general
fear of hard times, which has caused
n slump in the building trades and to the
fact that thousands are out of work
owing to the slump.
Other facts justifylng the pessimism
which Lord Salisbury deprecates are
that the demand for steam coal has
fallen, and 1t is now bringing only
ten shillings ton. OF course this fall
in the price of coal is of benefit to man
ufacturers in reducing their fuel ex-
penses, but it depresses the mining in
terests. Altogether the general opin-
ion is that Lord Salisbury did not view
the situation with the gravity which II
calls for on the part of England's pre-
mier,

MONOPOLY
Is a Thing Of the
Past
As II Relates to TeIe-
phone Business.
Competition Wrought
Many Changes,
Makiro of tho ToIo-
phone a Necessity
While Monopoly Made II a
Luxury.

One of the leading telephone Jour
nails of the country, Telephony, has the
following to say about consolidation
in the telephone business:
The statement has been made that
in the course of few years the entire
telephone business of the United States
will be controlled by one gigantic com.
pany with billion dollar capital.
Just how this result is to be brought
about is not made clear, but the ten
dency of the times toward combina-
tions is cited to show that the teic-
phone industry must of necessity
come under the control of a few men
who will make it AS great Il monopoly
as Is the oil or steel industry. We DO
not believe this is "A possibility. AS n
mater of principle, the people Of this
country are opposed to monopoies and
we think those who use the telephone
would revolt against any attempt to
again monopolize it. Just how long
the people will stand for trusts and
monopolies in general we do not pre-.
sumo to know, but we believe we are
