THE NEW TRUST LAW.
Wheu the Sherman antt-truat MU

few trust* After It had been in oper
ation for nineteen yearn -at the clone
of the Kooaevclt iidnilntalration there
Wore ten thousand trusts. The law
was aimed at the commercial abuses
which con*trained trade, but 1n lie
actual working It encouraged the build
ing up of large monopolies. Why?
Because, when the question of tno
nopoliea came to the court*, the t'oiTHs
ruled that labor belonged In the iwta
*or> of commodities subject to monop
oly
During all lhe»e vears whit* crimi
nal proceed] nyr ugnlnat commercial
conspiracies Were resulting general!'
In failure, the right of laboring men
to organise and form unions whh gene
rally recognised aeta conaplracy. It
was no difficult matter, under tht*
Juriic’al fallacy, to try, convict and lin -
prison labor without a Jury. In seve
ral c*»ee striker* were forbidden the
right of assemblage, by Injunction, and
in many cases extremely liurah pm.
labnient* were given for "construc
tive contempt."
Is It any wonder that labor, finding
Itself thwarted of Ita rights and rank
ling under the tnjustlcea and arbitrary
claims of capital, grew arbitrary, ex
acting and aweeplng In Ita demand*,
demanding exemptions regardless ol
Its acta and deserts and frequently dis
regarding law after the example set it
by the successful evasion of the trusts
Is It any wonder that class chasms
grew greater and deeper, that hitter
ness aud antagontam v rapldly ferment
•d and with the Increasing power of
the employing classes there came ait
Increasing danger from the employed?
Yet, the Sherman anti-trust law was
designed, not a r a weapon against Is
bor. but as a check upon commercial
combinations anting In restraint of
trade. The courtaby their rullnsa held
that labor Is a commodity and like any
other commodity la subject to monopo
lisation The unlonlalng of labor was
accepted aa conspiracy constraining
trade.
Thia la exactly what made a new
antt-truat law neceaaary. Under th#
Clayton bill, about to become law, la
bor's right to form unions Is given
distinct recognition. This la the sig
nificant feature of the bill end *t
means better justice, greater kindness
ami a great stimulus to the feeling of
brotherly love between classes. All
that la naked of labor la to respect th*
law and no less la required of capital

my life as 1 did for her poor doll, it
sat In ono c usr of ths playroom, all
bent over on one aids, stripped of Its
clothes and had to see those kittens
being cared for Instead of herself.
"When we come away the little girl
gave on* of th* kittens to my ltttle
mother.
"'lt’s tols of fun to have a live doll
|o play with," she said. ‘Put on on* of
Drusllla'n dresses and play the kitten

“Well, I don't think anything would
happen even then. My little mother
carried the kitten all thr way home

reached the floor.
A WOMAN’S WAY!
Somehow a woman seems to get more for her
money than a man.
She seems to have a better appreciation of the
intrinsic value of a dollar.
She knows "just the things that look best” and
"wear best” and where they are sold at lowest prices.
Women are readers of advertising because they
find that it pays.
They keep posted because they turn the knowl
edge to the advantage of their own pocketbooks.
Experience has taught them that it pays to deul
with men who advertise.
INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad
"Th* next morning when the maid
was dusting the room she did not
move the curtain and there I waited
expecting every minute my little
mother would come for me. At last
she came Into the room, and Bobby
Jones, what do you think she had?
She was wheeling my carriage and in
It was that kitton In one of my night
dresses, and on its head was one of
my bonnets.
"It was raining so, my little mother
played in that room right near me
without ever sneaking my name once.
She look my lirush and brushed the
kitten's fur. and she even used my lit
tle halti sponge. Then she held It In
her arms and sang to it and tried
to make It drink from my cup, but
the kitten Jumped out of tier arms and
ran. I do not know all that happened
tlio next few days. It was pleasant
weather and my little mother took
tlint kitten In my carriage In the park.
I don't lielieie 1 can ever show my
face there again.”
"How did you get hack here?" asked
Bobby, when Drusllla stopped speak
ing.
"Oh' my little mother brought me.
This afternoon she had the kitten In
the room where 1 was, dressed In my
cape and bonnet, and she did some
thing the kitten did not like. 1 guess,
for It scratched her and she dropped
It and began to cry.
"The kitten ran behind th* curtain,
where I was hidden and sat right on
mo. too. The nurse came running
into the room when she heard my lit

"I could almost forgive that nurse
for cverythlrg she over did for what

"‘Why, here Is Drusllla!’ she said;
‘she Is much better for you to play

her out for a ride tn her carriage and
let the kitten run away Drusllla
never seratrhea and the kitten will

"My little mother dried her eyes

Drusllla did not speak again, and
Robby was wise enough not to ask

BUILDING AND LOAN.
(By Archibald W. McEwan, Secretary
New York State League of Savings
and Loan Associations).
• The year 191$ marked an epoch tn
th* history of co-operative savings
and loan associations In the state of
New York, which may be classified
under new and desirable legislation,
increase the assets. Increase in mem
bership, Increase in number of asso
ciations: In other words, the year was
satisfactory from every angle. New
laws recently went into effect—the
most important of which la the Land
Hank act.
In th* matter of assets, the local or
co-operattvo associations, which this
league represents, increased their re
source* In 1913 $5,21)0,000, or mor*
than nine and one-half per cent, and
the total assets are $59,493,000. Total
assets of all associations tn the state
are $04,250,000.
Our associations did a business of
$84,000,000 last year. The dues re
ceived from members was 116.T22.000i
a remarkable amount when It is con
sidered that it practically represent
ed smalt weekly or monthly savings,
the average of which la less than 35

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
THE BRIGHTER SIDE
our system is the ideal one, both for
saving ami home-owning. There Is
no doubt that our plan has opened the
door of opportunity to thousands of
men and women, who would other
wise have drifted along In a material
sense, and that our associations stand
for the conservation of a great deal of
what is best in life.
Our neighboring state of New Jer
sey is so closely Interwoven with in
terests of the City of New York that
it I* appropriate to say a word about
th* associations in that state as thou
sands of men and women who work
in New York City live in New Jer
sey and are members of their home
associations. There are 280,000 mem
bers of associations in that state, or
on* In every six of the population,
and more than one-half of these mem
bers live in the comnfuting district
of New Y'ork City. The assets of the
associations in New Jersey are $106,-
000,000 for the year ending last Octo
ber.
Savings and loan associations are
also growing In most of the states of
the Union. There are remarkable In
creases In Pennsylvania. Ohio and
Massachusetts. The figures are get
ting so large as to be quite beyond my
ken: for example, one billion, two
hundred and fifty millions In assets
and 2.200.000 In membership in the
United States.
of speculation Is apparently over, and
gamblers who profited by the war to
create n general scare ltave overplayed
their game.
In many lines of manufacture the
Impulse given to trad* by the demands
of Europe has stimulated production.
Wagons and auto-trucks for the arm
ies have been ordered by thousands,
blankets and underwear by millions.
The largest amounts of certain classes
of cotton* shipped from New York In
a long time were sent abroad last
week
In the present situation It would be
better ts mere people considered the
actual facts and kept in mind that
whatexer our trouble# may be. no
other country in the world Is so we!l
off today a ns the United States.

CLEANING UP SOUTHERN CITIES.
In the November Womans Home
Companion Anna Steese Richardson,
director of the Better Babies Bureau
of that publication, describes the work
for better babies in two Southern
cities and she shows how thinking on
behalf of th<j welfare of babies has
resulted in much civic improvement.
In the following extract taken from
her article Mrs. Richardson describes
a recent development in Shreveport,
Louisiana:
"Years ago, Shreveport used to share
with scores of other Southern cities
the fear of yellow fever and the curse
of malaria. They' laugh at that little
phrase 'yellow fever’ today, and they
have malaria on the run. Why? Be
cause the health board has been
stressing fly and mosquito campaigns.

Shreveport was barely opening its
eyes, Dr. G. C. Chandler, president'of
the city's health department, took the
representative of the Woman's Home
Companion on an inspection tour of
Shreveport's hack yards. There were
colored quarters, but no slums. There
were shabby houses, but no mudholes
around them. Behind a row of very
simple-looking new cottages flower
and vegetable gardens were blooming.
Doctor Chandler pointed to the gay
spots of color with pride:
‘ 'A few years ago nobody could live
here. It was a mudhole, a clay swamp.
The only- crop was the deadly mos
quito. Now those people raise fruit
and flowers.’
