JOSEPH sPEIpEL

A long and successful business lie
closed yesterday with the death of Mr..
Joseph Speidel. For over fifty years
Mr.. Speidel was one of the prime fac
tors in the commercial growth OF
Wheeling, only relinquishing his &C
tive participation in business pursuits
a short while ago Even in his retire
ment he was interested in an advisory
capacity in those institutions which he
helped to build up. notably the Dollar
Savings & Trust Company, being one
Of the founders Of that banking house.
Mr.. Speidel was q man Of shrewd
business judgment but his successful
career depended just as largely on his
interchangeable industry and those hab,
its which make for leadership in large
enterprises. In attaining his high pc
sition in business and commercial cir
Giles, and in the respect OF his fellow
; citizens, he made his way solely by
his own exertionS and an energy OF
ccaseless activity. He was fine e1
ample of what self.reliance will do in
the stern battle OF life. Wheeling has
profited greatly for his having lived
and his passing will be mourne6 by d
large circle Of business and social as

campaign of 1916, when the chief, al

power which the administration made
to the people was that he kept US Out

were elected and the Republicans re-

movements, can the American people
reach other than the unacceptable one
that in 1915 they were monstruuSly

A COMPROMISE MEASURE

It would have been much better 10
have abolished the Sherman act and
the Clayton antitrust law than TO have
perpetrated such L compromise as the
Webb-Pomerene law, legalizing the
formation Of combinations for export
trade. 1t is not what it pretends TO
be. It does not give that entire free
dom OF action in export trade which
the original sponsors Of the legislation
desired; nor does it safeguard the do
nestle market and the independent eI'
porter to the extent that its opponents
insisted upon.
In. it's operation, the law will prob
ably be Of the greatest benefit to the
exporters Of the staple and standard
lied lines, principally raw materials
and semi-manufactured articles, which
are in most instances produced BY a
limited number OF concerns and usu-
ally Of large capital. Exporters OF
these staple lines will be able to pre-
sent united front to the large foreign
buying syndicates. especially those OF
Europe. instead of entering into more
or less proftless competition among
themselves for the business offered.
The law will have no effect what
ever upon export trade that has al
ready been developed. except that
where the trade has been carried on
through a joint selling agency. the op
Grafton Of such agency now becomes
subject to the law and the supervision
Of the Federal Trade Commission
Trade or connections already estab
lished will only be disturbed or al
tered where the individual exporter
deems it e1pedient to take advantage
of provisions of the law.
