this drastic remedy to lower the price

that crowded the Berkely Theatre,
He ridiculed the idea that the consum-
ers could bring about the desired re-
suit by boycott of the trusts pro
ducts.
"A strange predicament, indeed,
he continued. Eighty million free
American people held at hunger'1
length by fifteen little men. When.
in the history of the world, has Z

Rome in the grip of their hands, Rome
fell. Here in America, still in the

approaching timidity, handful of ita
fpuny citizens grip at it's vitals, defy

Mr.. Frank stated that the trusts
are practically indestructible, having

cluded by saying that in his opinion
the only wise conclusion to be drawn
is not that the trusts must be ami
