KN0CKlYG MILL MER1tRS
Governor Blease Says Mergers Will
"Prove Very Injurious to the
People"-His Opinion.

Columbia.-Governor Blease Is.
sued a typed statement, written on
his own motion, which has created
4 local sensa lion, expressing as 1t
does a belief that the cotton mill
mergers formed or forming in the
state will prove very Injurious to
the people" and scoring severely the
secretary OF the Columbia chamber of
commerce. A. McP Handy, for ut
terances by the latter concerning tho
governor at the recent banquet OF
the Winyah Indigo Society In George
town.
"In my opinion" the statement says.
the mill mergers now going on In
this state will prove very Injurious
to the people of the state as a whole,
and as there was so much fuss rails
ed about the railroad merger, | am
surprised that some people are hot
taking an interest, as the law directs,
in looking into the mill mergers. In
my opinion, it is only an effort to
control the price OF cotton
and to control the price of labor in
all cotton mills. Our supreme court
has already held against blacklisting
and gave damages against the head
Of cne OF the mergers, in one in
stance, where this was practiced.
When the merger is completed, and
The operatives are imposed upon, and
see fit to leave a mill, 1t is only
necessary for the president to drop
a secret word to the superintendents
of his mills to give that family no
employment; hence, the party has no
redress because he cannot obtain the
proof as to his being blacklisted.
"It is also an effort to control the
vote of the Gotten mill people, as has
been attempted for some years
past, but in this they will fail, for
the mill people of this state are OF
cur own blood and kin; they are
intelligent, free and independent and
will not be coerced or controlled in
their votes, and they will resent it,
even il it costs them their jobs. An
other thing, the mill merger is caus-
ing people to change their homes;
taking them from one place and carrv-
ing them to where the central Of
fees are located"

Washington.-Th Standard oil
company of New Jersey and its nine
teen subsidiary corporations was de-
clared by the Supreme Court OF the
United States to be conspiracy and
combination in restraint Of trade. 1t
also was held to be monopolizing in
terstate commerce in violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law. The disso-
luton Of the combination was ordered
10 take place within six months.
Thus ended the tremendous strug-
gle of years on the part Of the gov
ernment to put down by authority OF
law combination which it claimed
was a menace to the industrial and
economic advancement OF the entire
country.
At the same time the court inter
preted the Sherman antitrust law 80
az to limit it's application to acts OF
undue" restraint OF trade and not
every" restraint of trade. II was
on this po!n; that the only discord-
ant note was heard In the court, Jus
tice Harlan dissented, claiming that
cases already decided by the court
had determined once for all, that the
word undue" or unreasonable" or
similar words, were not in the statute.
He declared that the reasoning Of the
court in arriving at its findings was
in effect legislation which belonged
in every instance to congress and
not to the court.
Ever since the decree In this case
in the lower court, the United States
circuit court for the eastern district
OF Missouri, was announced, hope was
expressed by the business world"
that the law would be modified so as
not to interfere with what was desig-
mated as honest business, that section
OF the opinion calling for the use OF
the rule Of reason" in applying the
law is regarded in many quarters as
an answer to the prayers Of the bus
mess world
The opinion OF the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White. In
printed form It contained more than
twenty thousand words.
Many expected that the decision of
the court in the dissolution suit
against the tobacco corporations would
be handed down Immediately after
the decision in the Standard OIL case.
This was not done, however, but the
decision is expected on May 29. the
last day OF the court until October.
The opinion OF the court is con-
strued to mean that the tobacco case.
like every other case in which re-
straints OF trade are alleged, must be
subjected to the new test OF reason
ableness of the restraint, as laid down
in the Standard Oil decision.

Democrats ON Wool Schedule.

Washington Democrat members Of
the ways and means committee Of the
house undertook the task of drafting
a bill revising the wool schedule. The
committee debated the situation for
three hours without attempting to
reach a decision as to whether the
bill shall place raw wool on the free
list or reduce the tariff 80 per cent or
more. To put raw wool on the free list
would cut off at once $21.00000 in
revenue. while the entire wool sched-
ule brings a revenue of more than
$4,000, 900.
