So diverse are the cases involved,
that it is doubtful If the people APP
preciate all that is being done in legal
prosecutions against combines, both on
the part Of the United States govern
ment and as a result of the activity OF
individual states. Much of the hostility
to combinations operating in restraint
of trade formerly originated in the
west, and it must be encouraging to
the advocates of rigid application of
the law against illegal monopolies to
witness the spread of the c%ontagion to
the east, where New York is notably
pursuing a policy of prosecution.
The latest antitrust step in the
metropolis, the indictment of the en-
tire Paper Board association, compris-
ing 140 prominent manufacturers,
promises results, inasmuch as the pro-
cess of the grand Jury is based on con-
victions already obtained, one Of the
ringleaders having been heavily fined
as a preliminary to the breaking up of
the Fiber and Manila association,
whose members likewise paid punitive
fines. The fact hat similar action is
projected against the manufacturers Of
print paper indicates the thoroughness
of the official inquiry.
New York has also secured the con-
viction of the ice combine, and is in
the thick of the fight against the ma
nipulators of a corner in milk, a field
of activity that calls for popular ap-
proval, and which may be the means of
undermining prices throughout the
country in cases where they have been
unduly inflated, for the New York ex-
ample is one which pins down the in
dividual offenders, having swept aside
the old notion that those acting in the
name OF corporations cannot be held
amenable to the criminal law, and hav-
ing also made the fines heavy enough
to hurt yet practical enough to be col
lected.
In Washington the federal govern
ment has just argued the case against
the tobacco combine, concerning which
a speedy decision may be expected
from the supreme court, and is also
advancing toward a final ruling in the
matter of Standard Oil. The admins
tration likewise is proceeding against
the Tobacco Growers association, and
the president has directed the proper
departments to investigate the charges
that the steel concerns are operating
in violation of the antitrust law.
Further federal action is probable as a
result of the grand jury discovery that
the sugar companies, nominally rivals,
are really operating under an agree
ment that governs prices, so that it is
possible that the customs investigation
will have accomplished a double pur-
pose.
No complaint can properly be lodged,
therefore, that there is any lack Of
activity on the part of the govern
ment against the combines. What
ever is possible under existing laws is
being attempted, toward the regulation
of corporation greed, 1t is always pos
sible that the government may lose one
or more of such prosecutions, but con-
gress now has before 1t various sug-
gestions for strengthening federal
power. and such additional legislation
as is necessary is likely to be forth
coming.

Rival opera managers have con-
fessedly been giving grand opera at a
loss in New York this winter. The
reason is not far to seek. Under the
concentration of rivalry in the metrop-
oils and it's adjacent cities, there has
been generated a competition for stars
that has raised the salaries paid sing
ers to heights out of all proportion to
their worth as established in operate
centers abroad. New York has made it
known that it would prefer one compe-
tent presentation of the best in opera,
in place of the present unsatisfactory
splitting up of forces, and If the inter-
ests were to get together they could
utilize their excess of talent in giving
opera to the large cities throughout the
country, many of which are ripe for
such a project. But to make a success
of such a plan, salaries would have 10
be r%eadjusted and stars would have to
understand that they are hired to sing,
not TO make apologies. The trouble
with opera in this country Is that the
managers and public have humored the
whimsicalities of temper, sometimes
called temperament, altogether too
much.

The city council in making its appor-

be so expended that one hundred cents
worth Of service will be delivered for

Methods Of Muokrakers.

Admission by a publisher and an

able the public to determine the true

Fortuna'ely there are Criminal stat.
utes pnder which the MEN who stole

hat the particular person under in

We have been hearing a good deal
of late about the human equation
which renders inefficient the safety
precautions on railroads, so often, in
deed. that one wonders If it is not time
to determine the responsibility for
some Of the disastrous wrecks that
have disgraced American railroads this
winter. A shining example might be
made In the. case of the wreck which
took the life of Spencer Trask, one OF
New York's leading bankers and
philanthropists. He was the victim OF
a rear-end collision in broad daylight
on a road that boasts of its four tracks
and block signals. Definitely fixing
the blame might be followed by the es-
Enlistment Of a higher grade OF oper-
ating efficiency, which seems to be
woefuliy lacking at times.
