Checked Attempt at Monopoly.

Trusts were sometimes dealt with summarily in old England. For in- stance, the records of the Brewers company show that "on Monday, July 30, 1422, Robert Chichele. the mayor of London, sent for the masters and 12 of the most worthy of our company to appear at the Guildhall for selling dear ale. After much dispute about the price and quantity of malt, wherein Whityngtone, the late mayor. declared that the brewers had ridden into the country and forestalled the malt, to raise it's price, they were convicted in the penalty of G20 ($1o0), which ob- jecting to, the masters were ordered to be kept in prison in the chamber lain's custody until they should pay it. or find security for the payment thereof"

Don't come to the conclus on that you are so inconsequential that it is not necessary for you to go to the meetings of your Union.

If you are able to show your neigh DOT that the Union has helped you, you will have no difficulty in getting him interested, but if you have noth. ing to show for your pains and trouble. you have an uphill business as an evangelist. The fact Is, that If you have not been helped by the Union, you need to go out to the meetings and try to be useful in some way. It was long time ago that Butler said: "Good. the more communicated, the more abundant grows" but long ago as 1t was, it still holds true.

lhere can be no real cooperation without confidence. All the worlds business is done on confidence. Con fidence is the first essential to mod. ern commerce. Even the government does its business on confidence. The way that this is engendered is by plac- ing the responsibility of all matters on the best shoulders that can be found and then holding those respon- sible who assume possibilities. If a member of the Union falls down h any matter. such a one should be held to make good. Now, just here Is good place to drop a hint: WHEN A MAN STEPS OUTSIDE OF HIS OWN BUSINESS TO HELP ANOTHER. THAT MAN IS EITHER A FRAUD. OR HE IS A PATRIOT; WHEN A MAN STEPS OUTSIDE OF HIS OWN LINE OF BUSINESS TO HELP A CLASS OF MEN, HE IS ETHER A CRATER OR HE IS A HERO AS WELL AS A APPROPRIATIONS ARE MOSTLY DEAD.

All over this country we see men going up ond down lamenting the de- generacy of the times. Are you one of these? If so, get out into the stiffness of the starlit night and ask yourself if you are worthy of the trust which you wish you could repose in mankind. If you do not measure up to the high standard you set for the balance of humanity, you are dis. honestly asking for something for which you do not propose to give an equivalent. Then and there ask God to give you something that Is moro precious than gold and rubies-a clean heart. Cleanness Is a person al matter and each one will have to keep his own heart clean. Because there is rottenness in the world is no license ts you, and you cannot pro- tect yourself against imposition any easier by being rascal than you can by being a man.
 In your efforts to do cooperative selling and cooperative buying, do not forget that it Is just as essential to do cooperative planting, cultivating. harvesting and planning. How many of our Unions are seriously taking up co operative farming from the breaking of the ground to the selling of the finished crop? Not many, we are sorry to state. It is the duty and the work of the Union to help to mar ket and to help along all lines of buying, but it is none the less a duty to work out a system of culture and cropping of things than it is to CO operate in the selling. Getting to- gether on plans for this coming sea- sons crops is the immediately near work that ought to be done. This sort of a thing has made a success of the various vegetable and fruit growers associations

We have fought, we have pleaded
with the railroads without avail. It
is high time some action should be
taken.-GeOrge J. Mueller, Confectioner.
The Shippers Association OF
Washington has been given its first
case to handle. A complaint of dis
elimination in freight rates 20
Leesburg, Va, in favor of Balti-
more and against Washington, re-
ceived from a customer in Leesburg
by the Potomac Terra Gotta Com
pany, has been turned over 10 the
association, with d request that
some investigation of the matter be
made.
The correspondence on the sub
ject was mailed to Charles J. Bell,
chairman of the organization COM
mittee, with the Potomac Terra
Gotta Company's application for
membership in the association. The
letter from G. w. At Lee, manager
of the company, is as follows:
I'VE enclose herewith a letter recently
received from Mr.. T. L. Thompson,
wherein he states that the rates Of
freight from Washington to Leesburg
are Identical with those from Baltimore
10 Leesburg. This looks TO Us like a dis
elimination against Washington and we
would suggest that you look into the
matter at a convenient season"
Strange Freight r; S.
In the letter from Mr.. Thompson, to
which Mr.. At Lee refers. occurs the fol-
lowing statement:
Terra Gotta arrived all right, the
freight rate being 16 cents a hundred.
1t seems strange about railroad rates,
for there is a party IN our town who
buys a great deal Of terra Gotta pipe in
Baltimore and he only pays 15 cents a
hundred freight, for just double the dis
tance from Washington.
The same thing applies to wrought
iron pipe. I get it cheaper from Balti-
more than I can from Washington"
Leesburg is on the line OF the Wash
ington and Ohio division of the South
ern railway. AS soon as the associa-
ton IS organized the complaint of Mr..
AT Lee will be taken up with the South
ern and an effort made To secure an
adjustment, or at any rate an explain
alton, OF an apparently anomalous con-
diitOn.
