United States and most Of the sepa-
rate States is based on the theory
that the natural price Of an article
is that fixed by the operation Of
the natural law of supply and de-
mand, working without artificial re-
straint.
But the fact is, that the law Of
supply and demand does not, and has
not for many years, worked in this
country in a natural, unrestrainoI
and unfettered manner.
'Nor is this all. 1t is probably
safe to say that in almost every one
of the great staple industries prices
have been for years fxec by agree
mcnt between the principal producers
and not from free play of competi-
ton among the domestic producers,
nor by the unfettered operation Of
the law of supply and demand.
The fact seems 20 be that the
prices of standard articles Of con-
sumption sold in the United States
Tor number Of years past have not
been fixed at all by the operation Of
the laws Of supply and demand or
unrestrained competition, but by as
sociations of tho producers. without

WHAT WILL BLEASE DO /?
PRISON HOSIERY MILL NOT TO
BE ABOLISHED.
Board OF Health Has No Right to
Order Contract Annulled.

Columbia. July 20.-The hosiery
mill at the State penitentiary Will,
not be abolished.
Inc executive committee of Tie
State board Of health In session yes
terday came to the conclusion that
the board has no right to order the
board Of directors Of the prison to
abolish the mill, but that the board
could act only in an advisory ca
pacity.
This announcement was made TO-
lowing conference with Attor.
General Lyon. The attorney genera
discussed with the board the legal
questions involved and gave the opin-
ion that the board Of health Is the
sole advisor on all questions involv-
ing public health. A written opinion
Will later be sent to the board by
the attorney general. The board Of
directors Of the prison several DAYS
ago refused to abolish the mill af-
ter considering a letter from Gov.
Blease demanding this action. The
chief executive had already address
ed letter to DR.. Robert Wilson.
Jr., OF Charleston. the chairman OF
the State board Of health, In which
he asked for a statement as to the
right Of the board to take this step.
The meeting yesterday was for the
purpose Of considering the letter
from the governor.
Several weeks ago the board of
health made report on the sanitary
condition Of the penitentiary. In this
report 1t was recommended that the
hosiery mill be abolished, that a new
building be erected for the women
prisoners and that a new sanitary ar
rangement be provided for the main
prison building. Little was said con-
corning any Of the recommendation
except that with reference to the
hosiery mill.
DR.. J. A. Hayne, the state heath
officer and the secretary Of the board
OF health; yesterday said that in hls
opinion too much stress had been laid
on the hosiery mill Recommendation
while there We're other recommends
tions Of as great Importance. In the
report of the directors of the prison
it was stated that all recommends
tiOns with reference to improve
ments at the prison would be car
ried out as soon as practical.
A second letter was addressed by
the governor to Solicitor Cobb of this
circuit asking that he bring action to
abate the hosiery mill, which he
termed as a public or common nuis-
ance." Solicitor Cobb had no state
ment to make yesterday with refer
ence to the letter. He said that he
had not investigated the mattr.
At the conference yesterday Attor-
ney General Lyon called attention to
Secion 1855 OF the statute, which
provides that the State board Of
health shall be sole advisor on all
questions involving the public health.
Section 1913 provides that the board
shall make inspection as often as
necessary to determine the sanitary
conditions Of all institutions provided
as State charities or supported at the
expense Of the State. 1t was pointed
out by the attorney general that the
statute does not give power to the
board of health to require the board
OF directors to adopt the advice or
suggestions.
