Trusts and Combines

’ Jt is interesting to read what
the federal government of the
United States is doing just now
to discourage trade trusts and
combines.

, The recently-inaugurated sugar
aai—by which the sugar com-
ims, making millions by jump-
Memthe price—in which our
madian refineries are shar-
emee being exposed by the
N3ageogton government and the
guilty gamblers in sugar are be-
ing made to loosen their hold on
the market.

President Harding demanded
an investigation of the sugar
situation and in less than a week
the federal authorities filed suit
to break the sugar. speculators’
ring.

It was only the other day, too,
that eight leaders in the pottery
industry were sentenced to jail for
breaches of the trust law. Thir-
teen individuals were fined from
$2500 ta $5000 each, and 23 cor-
porations—controlling 80 percent

of the pottery production of the
country—were fined from $2500
to $5000. Archibald Maddock,
president of the Thomas Maddock
& Sons Company, was singled out
as the leader by Judge Vanfleet
of the Federal District Court and
given ten months in prison and a
fine of $5000. ‘I regret that I
am forced to send to jail promin-
ent business ‘men such as you
‘are,’’? Judge Vanfleet answered,
‘ut the evidence is conclusive,
and there is no loophole.”’

In-Canada we haven't combines
such as those in the United
States. Here they get the same
results in the matter of market
control and high prices, but they
are not combines—no they are
not combines. At least that is
what the Supreme Court of On-
tario ruled the other day in
Toronto when the attorney-gen-
eral’s appeal from the decision
of Mr. Justice Orde of the lower
court was dismissed, in the case
of the alleged grocers’ combine.
The attorney - genera! brought
action against the Canadian
Wholesale Grocers’ Assoeiation
and a number of individuals,
asking a declaration that their

section of the Criminal Code
which prohibits combinations in
restraint of trade. An injunction
to restrain them from oparating
in that manner was also asked,
The lower court dismissed the
action, and that decision is now
upheld, a

“John, dear, do come and ‘fasten.up
this cord for me. I’m go tired with
waiting to have these things put right
(She had. waited exactly twenty-five
minutes). Seems there’s always some-
thing left untied or something. Don’t
you~know ‘there’s the handle of the
well pump come undone again? I wish
you would mend it right away and
fasten up the chicken fence where it’s
come loose, and them trees still want
trimming, and—but mend the well
handle now or we'll be losing the bucket
into the well and look what a bother
that'll be. You shouldn’t be to tell
these things."’

“All tight, all right, Elizabeth,"
grouched the lanky rancher to whom
these remarks were addressed by. his
fussy and loquacious wife. Without
more ado he picked up the draggling
end of the clothes line and hitched it to
the crooked nail in the pdst.... .

Then he set off to look over his tur-
nip patch. He hadn’t got many yards
away when there came from the open
window the same voice: ‘John, John,
where are you guing? When are you
going to mend the pump handle? Have-
n’t I told you aboutit everso many
times over and over again? Why should
I alwaya have to tell you to do such
things?”

“Oh, well,- ll see to that in a
minute,’’ responded the patient fellow,
and off he went for the monkey-wrench.
He returned in a few minutes with
that useful article and with a few
sturdy tugs soon fixed up the handle.
Off he went again to histurnip patch.
Half an hour ljater there came to his
ears the call of. woe, “John, John,
where are you?”’
“What's the matter now?” was the
non-committal answer ag John raieed
his head from his garden rake.

Mrs, Pinkerton had crossed over the
ciover lawn within hailing distance and
then she called in an insinuating .xcice,
‘‘Aren’t you going to town today,
John?”’

‘*Fladn’t thought of it,’? was the
quiet reply, ‘‘There’s too much to do
herd, I can’t be running away every
whipstitch if. the farm is to be looked
after.’’

‘Well, I wish you could go, John.
I’m tired waiting for that art mualin
for the windows and you might ask
Stewart to give you a crotchet hook
size six.’’

‘Heavens alive,’? murmured John,
“Whatever. is the world coming to?

One can’t push on a little bit without
her wanting something ‘else done—
wanting, wanting, she’s always want-

less she geta all she Wants. °
I'll hava to go.’
