countries, business conditions in the
entire world seem to be on the up
grade, according TO reports received
by A. G. Akeroyd, local representa-
tive of the International Trade De

sentatives in 9S different countries

general business conditions existing
in each country and disseminates
them through monthly confidential

GUILDS ABUSED THEIR POWER
Powerful Associations Formed In the
Middle Ages Fell Under Mo-
nopoIistic Influence.

Various explanations are given of
the origin of the guild. which was a
Middle age voluntary association for
mutual aid and assistance.
The guild was industrial or COM
mercial in Its scope, there being two
distinct classes. namely, the guild
merchant" and the craft guilds" The
guild merchant was the earlier to APP
pear. The chief privilege was that
the members of such guild
had within It's jurisdiction the monop-
oily of retail trade. The object Of the
craft guilds was the regulation Of the
trade in the interests of the workers.
Many Of their regulations were in
tended to secure honest work, but the
spirit Of monopoly exercised It's bane-
full influence, and as the guilds be-
came hindrance to trade they de-
clined. Out of the .decaying craft
guilds there grew up two sets Of in
stitutions-journeymen's guilds, in
which, II Is claimed that the modern
trade union had its origin; and the
companies of capitalist employers,
which survived the decay of the guild
system, and became in London the
livery companies.

A Little Vague.

Americans who visited England re-
member how surprised people there
were sometimes to find they did not
know some Jones or Smith who had
emigrated to part Of the United
States thousand miles or so from
their own home. The archbishop Of
Canterbury has just had somewhat
similar experience. An unknown cor
respondent in the United States wrote
him stating that his great-grandfather,
name of Brown, had married, In the
Church of England, a woman named
Watson, and requested his grace to
'look 1t up" Another letter from
America, addressed merely "Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, London"
reached him with the penciled post

here and there they knew for sheep at

cottage, Jim and Marion were likewise
soon at rest. But toward the gray Of
morning. both sprang suddenly upright,
wide awake. hearing outside running

quickly strangled cry.
