TRUSTS GOVERN PRICES.

In a resume of the conditions sub
sequent to the panic we are con-
fronted with the assertion that
prices would drop under natural con-
ditions and business would then
more quickly resume If the labor
trust and the capital trust did not
stand in the way OF such develop
ment. A drop in prices would Ie.
vive demand and encourage re-
sumption Of enterprise through d.
minished cost of production, but no
less authority than Henry Clews IS
to be quoted as saying:
1.-THE full resumption of business
activity is positively retarded by the
trusts, whether of capital or of labor
to adjust themselves to the changed
conditions. For the first time in our
history, we are seeing how the trust
system works under adversely. Trust
managers have acquired great pow
er, which, If used indiscreetly and to
resist the natural action and reac-
ton of economic forces, will be sure
to invite further disaster sooner or
later. l fused discreetly, it would
permit gradual decline; and in in
dustries where competitive condi-
lions still remain. prices have al
ready been lowered considerably.
There are, however, other indus
tries, notably steel, in which prices
are held at old figures in spite of de-
creased cost of production. This
means that many mills are idle and
many laborers out of employment
that otherwise would be actively en-
gagged were prices reduced to a low
er level; all because officials, for
reasons best known to themselves,
refuse to recognize the change in
fundamental conditions
