100000 Firms

In the first place. a very large
part Of the business OF this
country is now. as always. car
ried on by small companies. "
II has been estimated that in
1897 there were about $500. 900
business concerns OF all kinds
operating in the United States.
Many of these are not corpora
iionS. II farms he added the
total number Of business units
~ all sorts comes TO about TO-
10000
In 1887. there were az least
1S5. 900 manufacturing concerns.
Of which about 10000 were not
corporations.
IF there were any tendency Of
small business 10 be crushed
out" or "stifled' by big business,
= seems improbable that such
large numbers OF small concerns
would now exist.
In the second place. the large
concerns do not appear TO have
gained on the small ones during
the last Is years or so. Between
1900 and 1920. there was a
period Of great consolidation,
which resulted in a relative in
crease in large business estab-
liShmentS. All the evidence,
however. goes TO show that since
then. the proportions Of large
and small establishments have
hanged very little.

Bucky Walters was the victim.
The Cubs also got beautifully

And the Phillies, as usual blew
another one in the last inning,
the Pirates taking them, 7-6.
In the night game in st. Louis,
the Giants put together a five-rln
rally in the eighth inning to take

DENY Big Firms
Crushing Out
Small Business
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. n. Y. unIversit
The assistant attorney gen.
eral, Thurman Arnold. often
lays good things. His emphasis
of the Importance of competition
as embodying equal opportunity,
is good. So is his desire to keep
small business concerns active
and prosperous.
Sometimes. however. he goes
too far. I think he did so in
addressing a convention OF
small business men" the other
day, when he seems TO have
made two main points. One was
that big business" is tending 10
crush out small business. The
other was that big business"
restricts production. and that the
way 10 get real expansion of
output is TO make markets free
for "the competitive force OF
small business"
OF course. some allowance
may be made for the kind of
audience and the oratory. II be-
hooveS us. therefore, 10 look at
the record.

Synthetic Rubber
Manufacture New
And Vital Project
BY b. c. FORBES

i have been investigating what
promises TO become perhaps
Americas most important new
industry, the manufacture Of
synthetic rubber.
This product embodies certain
qualities far superior to natural
rubber for a variety of purposes.
II enters extremely impor-
family into defense require
ments. Therefore. the govern
ment is advancing millions 10
expand production.
The cost per pound is thus
far much higher than for ordi-
nary rubber. But once mass
output is attained. the gap is
expected TO be drastically mar
rowed. Washington is seeing 10
il that no monopoly will de-
velop.
II has extended grants to all
of the country's big four" rub
Der manufacturing companies.
while Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey and tn, Du Points also have
entered the field on a large
scale.

Half Worlds Growth

Take rubber. Although here

try has been using more than
half the worlds entire growth

appetite for rubber has been so
Unsuitable that. despite deter
mined efforts. the governments
stock of reserve rubber reached
only 1S6,S04 tons at the first of
this month. whereas the objec-
tive is $4,000 tons.
Normal consumption averaged
$4,000 tons a month In the
first third of this year il aver
aged 6727l tons a month, with
April chewing up no fewer than
i,33 774- tons and May II. 1877.
OPM plans TO reduce this. by
rationing. to an annual rate of
100000 tons during the second
half of 1871.
In view of the far greater ag-
gravation of shipping dislocation
and intensified scarcity of ton
mage 10 bring crude from the far
ends of the earth. the existing
rubber situation here is gener-
ating growing apprehension.
Crude and finished rubber on
hand now would take care OF

Unimpressive to Date

Although Edison long ago
started experimenting with ex-
tracing rubber from goldenrod,
and although Ford backed him
up and launched other expert
ments of his own. the practical
results 10 date have not been
impressive.
In the Salinas Valley sector ~
California. Mexico's guayule
shrub. another rubber-yielding
plant. has brought forth results
encouraging enough to impel the
federal department of Justice to
recommend the planting OF -100.-
600 acres annually for a decade.
But il is on synthetic rubber.
