Contract ViOlatOrs
Common in Business

New York, Aug. 28.-If statements
by the Annalist, leading financial
paper, are true, business men who
denounce workers who occasionally
break a contract should Spank their
own babies" first.
In a leading article entitled "The
Business Structure Is Shaken by
Contract Reputation" the Annalist
says;
"a question for which only the
future has an answer is whether
honesty in business will not get a
serious setback from what is now
happening in the commercial world.
Invalid contracts the world has
known in the past, but on no such
scale as at present.
"ln short, commercial honesty, as
far as a business mans word is con-
cerned, seems at discount the world
over, and long established trade prin-
ciples have been overturned abroad
as well as here.
"Many instances have been related
of goods ordered for export being
delivered to more profitable chan
nels, of inferior goods being shipped
in place of the qualities desired, and
of deliveries put off until later or
ders had been supplied. Almost as
much criticism has been heard on
this score as on the lack of study
given to foreign markets.
ga situation has now developed in
various industries, however, in which
more serious consequences are seen.
Recently the most upright buyers,
representing companies with millions
of capital, have descended to the COM
mon tactics of the demi-monde of the
business world. 1t is fact that con-
tracts with firms of the first order
are now asked to be considered less
than scraps of paper. In short, the
frank admission is made that to
abide by the terms of the contract
would mean financial disaster"

THE ASSOCIATED

GENERAL GORGAS
TRUE ECONOMIST

The death Of Major General Will
liam c. Gorgas doprives the world
of a unique military genius, one who
took no part in destruction, but whose
fame rests upon lifetime devotion to
constructive efforts, whose work was
not Of slaughter, but of life-saving
To him is due the credit for Kidding
the world Of yellow fever epidemics
and making possible the construction
of the Panama Canal. These accom-
plishments alone entitle him to honor
such as the most brilliant military
victory cannot bring.
But General Gorgas was not blind
to the fact that society has q worse
enemy to combat than yellow fever
He saw that poverty is far more
prolific breeder Of disease than trop-
zeal mosquitoes. While engaged at
his work in Cuba he had occasion to
observe how inadequately paid work
ers have neither time or facilities to
regulate their lives in accordance
with sanitary requirements. He not
only saw this fact, but had the cour-
age to urge the remedy publicly and
StrenuOuSly.
IF | were confined" he said, "to
a choice of but one measure to adj
vance the public health, would Sc
lect doubling Of wages"
OF course he knew that wages
cannot be doubled by arbitrary de-
cree. He realized that low wages
and poverty are social diseases which
like individual diseases, have a cause
that must be removed. He studied
these social diseases like he studied
yellow fever and found that in this
he had been anticipated in discovery
of cause and cure. Henry George had
made all clear in Progress and Pow
erty. Thenceforth Gorgas was an
outspoken Single TaXer.
When fresh from his Panama
achievement he happened to visit Gin
cinnati, where a dinner in his honor
was attended by leaders in the bust
ness and professional world, he took
advantage of the opportunity to call
the attention of his very conserva-
tive audience to the fact that the
abolition of poverty through the sin
gle tax is the most important sani-
tary work to be done. And until
the day Of his death he continued
to urge this on every suitable occas-
ion.
In spite Of calls upon his time he
accepted a place on the National
Committee Of the National Single
Tax League when elected thereto on
formation Of that organization. He
died in harness, striving to bring
about economic conditions that will

Trust Philanthropy
Is Quest for Profits

San Francisco, Aug. 28.-The ode
lectable" William M. Wood, president
Of the American Wooden Company,
says Editor Barry of the Star, "is
the man who, only a short time ago
virtuousiIy proclaimed his intention to
reduce the cost of living to his wage
slaves by starting commissaries
through which legitimate retailers
were to be forced out of business,
because, Wood declared, they were
charging more than reasonable prices.
by this plan Wood aimed to avoid
increasing wages to wooden trust en-
ployes and thus add to the trusts
enormous profits. The commissaries
were duly opened and Wood was
hailed as a great benefactor to his
deluded workers.
But, unfortunately, there is a Sc
quel to this beautiful tale of pater-
nalism. Wood was indicted by the
department of justice for profiteer-
ing and escaped by the technicality
that his company produced wooden
'cloth'-Which was not clothing and
therefore was not punishable under
the law.
Meantime there was a slump in
the wool market and Wood, the noble
and generous benefactor, closed
down his establishments, throwing
out of employment $4,000 workers in
Lawrence, Massachusetts, alone, and
probably 100000 in New England.
The excuse given by Wood was
wholesale cancellation of orders, and.
he added, freight congestion and the
action Of the department of justice
in bringing charges of profiteering
against the company. Which GER
tainly calls for further and more
vigorous investigation at the hands
of the government, or an admission
that the American Wooden Company
may at will coerce the United States
into subservience.
There are some who see in the
action Of Wood and other big en-
ployers Of labor a conspiracy to
bring on a countrywide depression
for political effect, and there are
grave reasons to believe that they
are right.
1.-THE American Wooden Company
increased its net income 316 per
cent for 1913 over 1914. The net
increase in common stock earnings
was 53l per cent. Is it any wonder
that wooden clothing, made Of wooden
cloth, jumped 200 per cent during
the same period?'
