heavy profit taking on the advances
but wheat went into such good hanas
that selling had only temporary erect
and as the day progressed the price
continued to advance. Reports or rust

led by good buying orders. Foreigners
were free buyers thru the larger COM

Corn-Market was an unusually in
teresting one today. and exceedingly
strong. From the opening TO the close
there was a steady demand for it, and
it has been many days since so much
strength and activity was displayed.
The matket was influenced by report
that the Romanian crop was destroyed
and government had prohibited expor-
tation OF corn. This report was veri-
fed by the fact that export sales of
corn at New York nearly amounted to
SO loads and demand was reported as
increasing. Buying OF September was
done by large commission house shorts.

j. G.. Schurman, President OF
Cornell, Thinks Natural Laws
Will Regulate Them
PUBLIC OPINION a FACTOR
Competition and the Fear Of COMPETE
ton Together With Healthy Public
Opinion Will Take Care Of the Big
combinss-Takes Slap at the Beef
Trust.

New York. Aug. Jacob Could
Schurman, president of Cornell Univer-
sity thinks trusts may be left alone
to be regulated by natural laws. He
thinks competition and public opinion
will do the work without legislation
He says trusts ordinarily reduce the
cost OF production and should give the
public the benefit OF it. The trust evil
begins when exorbitant prices are
charged. and incidentally Mr.. Schur-
man takes a slap at the beef trust.
The president of Cornell was discuss
ing the chances of young men making
their way in the world, and he told
the interviewer that trusts have many
$4,000 and $4,000 jobs waiting for the
right kind OF men to fill them
No thoughtful person can look at
the coal trust in the light of the great
strike two years ago, or the meat trust
in the the slight OF the present strike,
and doubt that there Is q great dam
ger--very great danger--in the trust
question. Where l see danger in it is
Z
insolent to the point OF lording it over
the public and making it pay exorbi-
tant prices for the necessaries OF life.
Under ordinary conditions they cheap
en- the cost of production and the pub
tic should be the gamer. 1t is where
the public is imposed on that the trus,
evil beings. The present condition of
the beef trade is a case in point. 1t is
an undoubted fact that trusts have 1t
in their power to make the public pay
exorbitant prices. don't say that they
use that power despotically, but they
certainly have it. Now, in my opinion.
there are only two effective regulators
OF that power: First. public opinion:
second. the possibility Of competition.
Public opinion is great force for
righteousness and no trust or other
force can stand against it for very long.
] care not how powerful it be, it cam
not stand against public opinion. And
then. as to the second regulator. the
fear Of competition is almost always
present. A trust may run up prices In
a short time. but in doing so it creates
conditions which invite competition.
and the mere possibility Of such a
thing is sufficient to send prices down
again.
$50 you believe the trust can be left
safely to be regulated by natural
laws?"
Exactly" he said II have far
more faith in those laws than in any
attempt at legislative regulation. There
has been great deal of legislation or
the subject but what is the net result:
OF course we have stopped rebates. and
that is a good thing; but apart from
that what has been done?
The great danger" he went on lis
in industries where the possibility of
competition is reduced to minimum or
almost eliminated as in the case OF an
thracite coal. That is the great dan

THE STRIKE SUNDAY.
Both Sides Spent the Day in Strength
eninq Weak Spots.

Chicago, Aug. both the packers
and the strikers spent Sunday in
strengthening any weak spots that
could be found in their defenses pre-
paratory to another week of effort to
bring their opponents to terms. Not
withstanding that it was Sunday all
the plants We're operated during the
forenoon in order to get rid of the live
stock that had been left oyer from last
week. The remainder of the day was
spent by the employers in installing
new men in the strikers places and ar
ranging many of the small details
which had been overlooked last week
turing the heat of the conflict.
Over 1000 new men were added to
the number already at work in the
Inherent plants. Among yesterdays
arrivals were many skilled laborers--
some packers have been sadly in
need of ever since the strike started.
rhe employers have experienced little
liff1culty in procuring all the unskilled
men necessary to operate the plants to
heir full capacity. but there has been
a decided scarcity of skilled workmen
and for this reason the by-products of
LII animals killed have been let go to
waste Commencing today three firms
announced they would be able to oper-
ate these divisions, enough skilled men
having been procured In the last forty
eight hours to justify the belief that
all the by product plants will be in full
operation by the end of the week.
The strike leaders spent the greater
part of the day in preparing a state
.,ent to the public. In this statement,
The unjonists explain their side OF the
controversy, declaring that 1T is the
packers and not the men who are re-
sponsible for the present state OF ar
fairs in the packing indutry. The pub
lie is asked to be patient with the men
Turing the struggle for supremacy, it
being declared by the union leaders
that it would be impossible for the men
to return to work under the conditions
which existed before the strike was
called, and. up to the present the pack
ars have shown no disposition to treat
he strikers in fair manner. Accord
ing to this statement the men viii stay
on strike until their unions are disrupt
ed or until the packers surrender.
One Man Murdered.
In a fight at the Nelson Morris plant
Yesterday afternoon between Andrew
Silrr1s and John Davis. nonunion
workmeu. Snms was stabbed and kill
ed. Simns was employed by the pack
ing company as waiter in the impro
yised dining room which had been fit
ted up for the men employed as strike
breakers. Davis was employed as a
cook by the same concern. While eat
ing dinner yesterday they quarreled
over the food. In the fight that fol-
lowed Davis was getting decidedly the
worst of it, and, drawing a knife, stab
bed Simms three times. Davis was ar
rested.
The police and mob of strike SYM
pathizers clashed last night in the vic
Unity of the stock yards. The disturb
ance was caused by two non-unlon
men. who entered saloon and asked
for a drink, where crowd or the
strikers friends had congregated When
the bartender went to serve the strike
breakers the other men In the place
protested and a fight followed.

the republicans of North Dakota have
nominated their chief justice, Hon. \.
C.. Young, and that the democrats have
endorsed him for the supreme bench
