Corporations Still unreeulated.

There is nothing inherently improbable
in the statement attributed to Secretary
Cortelyou in a current magazine article
10 the effect that President Mckinley, at
the opening of his second term, was con
templating the development Of a policy
for dealing VITA the evils growing out OF
combinations Of capital Mr. Cortelyou
says that Mr.. Mckinley was not blind
or Indifferent TO the abuses growing out
Of the sweeping prosperity which at
tended the development Of large and
larger forms OF business during his ad-
ministratlon." He could hardly have
been Indifferent TO them, for they had
been attracting attention for MANY
years prior to Mr.. McKinley's second
term. and his political opponents had per
sistently connected the rise OF industrial
monopolies with the operation Of the pro
tective tariff OF which Mr. Mckinley
was so strong a supporter. The sherman
antitrust law was passed in 1880. and
following the passage Of that law more
than two-thirds of the States adopted
antitrust legislation OF a more or less
sweeping character. Important court
decisions directed at combinations had
been rendered, and the warfare against
trusts had been going on with more or
less success before Mr.. McKinley's cleo
ton to the Presidency. There were anti
trust prosecutions. some Of them of con-
siderable Importance, during the admin
istrations Of Harrison and Cleveland. 1t
would have been strange. indeed. if Mr..
Mckinley We're not more or less familiar
with the trust problem, and we are
quite prepared to believe he foresaw the
necessity Of developing a more rigorous
Federal policy respecting corporate
abuses.
Nearly seven years have elapsed since
the death OF President Mckinley. during
a portion Of which time his successor
has endeavored to develop Federal
corporation policy Of very far-reaching
character. Yet Mr. Roosevelt has been
unable to complete the work he set out
TO do. and he must perforce leave it 10
another in a rather chaotic and alto
gether unfinished condition. What Mr..
Roosevelt has accomplished is chiefly
in the line Of regulating interstate COM
merce and bringing the railroads under

The question as TO the value OF arbi-
tratlon IN labor disputes has reached q
critical stage In New Zealand. the coun-
try that has been. IN a way. a sort Of
experimental station for legislation :o
such matters. For thirteen years COM
pulsory arbitration in labor disputes has
been tried in New Zealand. and the law
passed in 1894 has not. by subseouen,
amendments. been materially changed.
The changes that have been made have
been such as to emphasize more strongly
the compulsory features Of the law.
It worked with great success for some
years. and It would seem that the reason
for this success was largely because most
Of the judgments Of the board of arbi+r,-
ton had to be- on account Of Justice in
favor OF the labor element. But after the
year 1901. owing to industrial conditions
the arbitration courts have had 10 decide
occasionally In favor Of the employers.
and as a result the workmen have shown
a constantly increasing disposition to ir-
more the judgments against them. This
phase Of the matter has reached it's cli-
max in recent case, Of which a careful
and apparently unbiased report is as fol-
lows:
The directors q the Backban comrany's mine

pute was arranged without reference 20 the arbtra
