Superior Efficiency.

Again, some Of those Who dis
pute the superior efficiency Of large
combinations contend that this claim
is made merely as a blind for the
purpose of selling watered stock
They say that such organizations are
established for the purpose of Ell
ther getting control of the market
and exacting excessive prices from
consumers, or of issuing large
amounts of watered stock for the
purpose of selling such stock to the
public. In the first case, it is ar
gued such combinations are not con
cerned with the promotion of great
er efficiency. but merely with OBJ
tanning monopoly; in the second
case they are chiefly concerned with
selling the stock, and as they cannot
claim to the general public that it has
a great value due to monopoly they
are obliged TO find another selline
argument. namely superior eff
cheney.

and their effect on the social and
economic conditions of labor, there
are two aspects of it which are pc
euliarly within the domain of the
bureau, namely, the effects upon the
cost of production and distribution
and the effect upon the price to the
consumer.
Increase in Size.
1T is contended by some that with
the increase in the size of indus
trial enterprises there goes reduc-
tion in the cost of extraction, manu-
facture and distribution, and that
such reduction in cost is aceompa-
MED by lower prices to the con
sumer and does not involve reduc-
ton in wages, or an impairment of
the conditions of labor,
Even if these claims We're true
the question would still remain, OF
course. whether the evil resulting
from large combinations would no
be greater than the alleged adyant
ages Of cheaper production and dis
tribution It is eontended, ON th'
other hand. that the source and OF
igln Of monopoly is found chiefly Il
