COMPETITION BEING RESTORED.

The dissolution of the electrical trust
ordered by the courts, the announce
ment that the Tobacco Trust, comply
ing with the Supreme Court decision,
is to be dissolved into four companies,
not related and actively competing, the
arrangements making for the dissolu>
ton of the Standard Oil Company, the
coming dissolution of the Bath Tub
Trust" these and other strong indica-
tons all point to the establishment
of competition in industrial life in this
country.
For a time it seemed as though COM
petition w,uld speedily be throttIed IN
all lines of industry. So numerous
and so powerful We're the trusts be
coming that wise students Of condi-
tons declared that in a quarter Of a
century the United States would either
be in a condition of absolute industrial
slavery or have reverted to state SOC
iaIism as the only available protection.
Fortunately both of these evils have
been avoided. 1t now looks very much
as though the great combines would be
disinterated into their former com
ponent parts and that the old condition
OF reasonable competition would be
instituted aeaEn. Under that condition

GUARD AGAINST EXPLOSIONS.
Firing Pins Must Not Project When
Guns Are DISCHARGED.

AS result of several premature ex-

rifles, q general order has been issued to
commanders Of vessels prohibiting the
firing Of any gun where the firing pin
projects beyond the face Of the breech-
block. The greatest care is enjoined
upon the gunners to make sure that the
firing pin is in good condition, so that the
closing Of the breech-block will not cause
1t to strike the primer on the base of the
shell. Moreover. the gunners are strictly
prohibited from using any force beyond
that Of their hand in loading the car
fridge cases into the guns.
AS all Of these accidents have been
traced to the firing pins which have been
broken or which have been fused immov-
ably into the breech-block by the hot
blast from a defective primer. 1t is be-
fully no more trouble will be experienced
on that score.
