THE VERTICAL TRUST

August Thyssen, the second of the great Ger
man captains of industry to grow powerful during
the war and pass away since, stood with Stinnes
for the vertical trust instead of the pure trust
as developed in America.
Nearly all of our magnates have sought to
dominate a single industry such as petroleum,
coal, steel, railroads, shipping or meat. The Ger
named were interested rather in beginning
with a single industry and joining with it all the
related industries necessary for it's operation, thus
insuring stability and barring outsiders from any
share of the profit from material to final mar
getting.
Today the vertical trust is making Roadway
in the United States. Henry Ford is its most
characteristic representative His original business
was merely making automobiles. In building up
that industry, he gave support to many industries
furnishing him necessary materials or services.
Now he boasts that the Ford Motor Company owns
and controls every step of the whole long process
of production, from materials to finished
product, including the timber in the forest the ore
in the ground, sawmills and furnaces and rolling
mills and glass factories and the rest, with even
railroads and ships to carry the final product to its
market.
This is industrial power at its highest. 1t is
the ideal of many of American industries to-
day. Industrial progress in the immediate future
will be largely concerned with working out such
vertical" programs
If the power is used fairly, and consumers are
given the benefit of the resulting economy, there
be valid objection.

BIG CITY DRIFT


Social economists commonly agree that too
much of the population of this country is located
in great cities and that conditions would be better
if the drift into those cities should STOP and if
people would stay in medium sized cities and sub
urban and country towns.
One for this drift into big cities. is that
in past years many people got the idea that they
could gain advantage, by buying their supplies in
these great centers. That helped transfer business
TO such places. and took it away from the smaller
communities.
The people of Key West at least can do their
share 10 counterfeit this undesirable drift by buy
ing their supplies of their own home town mer-
chants, thus keeping their money here to build up
their own town. rather than sending it elsewhere
to build up bigger cities.

VEGETARIAN PROPAGANDA

convention recently held at London of
"vegetarians from all over the world that is, peo
pie who do not habtually eat flesh food This
doctrine has been preached for many years, and
while the number of people who practice it strict
ly is perhaps not so common, yet there are large
number who depend mostly on vegetable diet for
their food.
1t is claimed the length of the human ntes-
tine shows to be midway the plant eating and
the flesh eating animals, and nearer related to the
fruit eating apes 1t is argued that people who do
not eat meat obtain more symmetrical physical
development, and that all elements needed for their
physical welfare found in vegetables, grains,
fruits nuts etc. Il
Scientific opinion however does not seem
favorable to this doctrine. 1t is claimed that the
structure of mans stomach and intestines and the
variety of intestinal juices suggest that he is in
tended to eat both animal and vegetable food, and
the possession of biting, tearing, and grinding
teeth is said to point in that direction.
Scientific experiments are claimed to show
that there is great difference in the assimilation
Of food between the vegetarians and omnivorous
people who eat everything But probably the
majority of physicians would say that people need
to eat some meat in order to build up vigorous
physique. Yet there seems a rather common opinion
that the average person eats more meat than he
needs, and more than he can afford at present
prices. Probably the habit Of careful chewing and
leisurely and regular eating is of more value to
the average normal person than any hard and fast
rule about such choice of foods

very rarely be found in the list of
failures. 1t is the organization which
is unable to get the rank and file of
its membership to attend the meet
ings which usually goes astray and
lands in the pit of failure.
Anything that will tend to bring
out the membership should be adopt
ed, and anything that operates in the
slightest degree to keep members
away should be wiped out. And
there can be no doubt that the policy
of panhandling at meetings does tend
to cause members to remain away
Some other method must be found to
care for needy members, because the
panhandling scheme has times with

This collection element probably is
more prevalent in unions that lack
beneficial features, but the principle
of Objectionable features of meetings
holds good in being a factor in non

Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-09-03

The fact that many members do not
attend union meetings is not entirely
due to Indifference of those members
to their union interests or duties. Part
of this absenteeism is due to lack of
enterprise in local union management
and part in Objectionable features Of
the meetings.
One of the latter is the frequency
of collections referred to in one of
our exchanges as follows:
"There is, however, one complaint
that is frequently heard, and in the
interest of the labor movement it
ought to be removed, and it can easily
be wiped out without harm to any
one. That is the practice of permit
ting persons for sentimental causes to
take up collections in meetings for
this, that and the other reason. Some
member may be in need of temporary
assistance and well-intentioned
friend will determine to give a bene-
fit ball or picnic or rattle for him. At
the union meeting he will go among
the membership and sell tickets. Ere
