THE VIRGINIA PILOTS ASsoCIA.
TON.

There is n fight on, again, against
the Virginia Pilots Association. This
association is composed of, the Times
Dispatch says, "a little group of
thirty men," whose business it is to
furnish pilots for ships coming in
and going out, Of the ports at New
port News and Norfolk, upon which
ships Il heavy charge is made for
pilotage. 1t is necessary of course,
that ocean ships should be piloted
into the harbor by pilot who knows
the channel. and all about the clay
of the land" as we say. To ground,
or perhaps wreck one of these large
vessels, heavily ladened with valu-
able cargo, it is clearly evident,
would be costly proposition, and
hence the necessity for intelligent
pilots. 1t is this way. las some of
our "dry land" readers may not
know. When steamer appears in
sight, pilot puts out from shore,
boards the ship, and pilots her in TO
the dock or wharf. For this service a
charge is levied. 1t can readily be
seen that this is an important and
necessary service which is rendered
by the Pilots Association. The asso-
citation has "school Ships" in which
pilots are schoolcd and trained. 1t is
claimed however. that this associa-
ton is an iron clad trust, mono
poly, levying heavy tribute upon all
ocean going traffic. using the waters
and property of the state and coun-
try no part of which tribute goes to
the state, and Furthermore, that this
heavy tribute levied on commerce, IS
diverting trade to other ports which
should and naturally would come TO
Hampton Roads.
This trust must be busted" says
the Times Dispatch. This business of
trust busting" of the Pilots Asso-
citation, has been tried on for wears,
but so powerful, we'll organized and
persistent has been the lobby in the
Legislature that nothing has come
of the busting business. The Pilots
Association trust, like the Insurance
trust, seems too well grounded and
too firmly entrenched to be shaken
by the law makers of Virginia. We
need the Insurance Company and the
Pilots Association, too, but neither
should be permitted to Cypress and
line their pockets at the expense of

THE EFFECT OF THE BUYERS
STRIKE"

Last summer, it will be recalled,
the consumers went on strike-stop-
ped buying except the bare necessi-
ties. In April of this year those in
dustries-eight of the larger ones

wear, mems clothing, silk, cotton
goods, boots and shoes. show decided
Improvement in business. The in
dutries defeated, reduced their prices
in the articles in which the public is
concerned, and which appealed di-
rectly to the people. On the other
hand, those industries which have
not reduced prices, show no gain,
and in many of them business is at
n standstill, coal mining, leather
steel, and others.
In these there has been no defla-
ton and no Improvement. The "buy-
ers' strike" has had a wonderful in
huence, and the buyers are still
standing pat. The cry, "buy winter
coal now" goes UNDECIDED, but if the
price is reduced perhaps the sugges-
ton would be needed, in part at
least, and the number of idle min.
