Victory for Southern l*ort>
AFAIl-FiKACHING victory for the South
apparently has been achieved in the bit- '
ter contest that has raped in tho United States j
? Shipping Hoard over the distribution of the !
; great volume of merchant tonnage which the. i
! government owns and which is now being di- J
j verted to trade channels us rapidly as the j
army, navy and relief organization* release
; it. First fruits of a victory for the South
I come with the readjustment of export rates
announced by the Southern Kailroad. I'nder
this readjustment Southern tariffs win be the
same as those granted to Now York and other
Northern ports, which in the past have had
preferential treatment. It is the result of a
long light in which many Chambers of Com
merce and trade organizations representing
Southern cities took an active part, and it i.->
now possible for the Shipping Hoard to allo
cate to the Southern ports their fair number
of ?hips for the expedition of export. ,
It is a brave tight that the South has made,
at times against apparently overwhelming
odds. The Pacific Coast lias been displeased
over the small amount of tonnage allotted
0 il. and only the North Atlantic ports are
:at istied with the policy of the board. That. ;
of course, because it has received the major '
portion of tho tonnage. The South Atlantic i
md Gulf regions, fully awuko to the possi
bilities of the situation, sent their represen
tatives to Washington to impress upon the
government the importance of ;i wider dis- '
tribution of merchant tonnage. And they
moved intelligently in that direction by ap- ?
pearing first before the railroad administration,
where they registered a demand that the for
eign freight rates be so adjusted as to divert
much of the goods for export to the ports
on the South Atlantic and the Gulf. They suc
ceeded beyond their expectations in that quar
ter. Die railroad administration oflicials agree
ing that, the rate structure should and would
he overhauled along the lines laid down.
Thereafter the Southerners appeared before
the Shipping Hoard and alter informing the
hitter body of the assurances received from
the railroad administration, guaranteed tiie
cargoes at their ports if the ships were
promised. The answer received was somewhat
equivocal, however. The board insisted that
the cargoes be provided iirst. whereupon the
ships would be sent.
Out of all this agitation a broad national
policy of ship distribution must eventually
come. There is no sound reason why th
products of the Mississippi Valley, destined
for South America, should move to New York
when the logical route is via New Orleans. Ii
seems absurd to haul the grain from the Mid
dle West to Philadelphia, then transship it to
Great Hriiain or to deliver Southern cotton
to nultimore for transport to Germany. This
Unfile should be routed to the most con
^nient port, and as a matter of simple
economy, should be given the shortest possi- I
blo haul.
Arc Trusts to Be Recognized
T~"L war has given the country an oppor
A tunity to make many valuable experi- '
ments. It forced the government to assume i
tiie control und operation of the railroads. It !
brought about government operation and con
trol of the telegraph and telephone services.
J. oflered a chance to try out prohibition, and |
it provided an excuse for tests in the fixing of '
price> on staple and basic commodities. Much ?
has been learned in all these directions, and
experience rather than theory w ill be the guide
'or the nation in its future handling of these
problems.
Th* wui went even further. It provided an
opportunity for a suspension of the antitrust '
law... This was not done, be it remembered.
?y < ougressional enactment in ail instances, ,
but it was done just as effectively by exoeu- :
tiye assumption of power. Combinations
winch in pre-war times would have been so ,
obviously illegal that they would not have 1
beer, dared were not only formed, but were i
dealt with by the Federal government itself !
Groat industries were marshaled through the 1
agency o: the war Industrie.-, board and their i
output pooled just as thoir prices were fixed. j
Combination after combination was not only !
formed to meet war'a demands, but they were ;
invited by the very power which ordinarily i
would have proceeded against them a-- relent- :
lesr y as the Standard Oil Company was pro- i
ceeded again,:
All i!i|k luMf- lilt question whether or not 1
there should b'- a general overhauling of the i
antitrust law. The Sherman act vet remains '
in efTer t The decisions under It are definite I
prr-f dents for pro-r/utors to invoke whenever
'!'? n?' (I ir;ay am*. The courts remain open
lo hear the pleading of the government. I>am

An illuminating study of 100 union printers
made under the direction of |>r. I, J. Harris,
director of Hip Hurran of Preventable l-'isense*
New York City Health Department, showed thrft
rorty-nliu- of tno .printers, that Ik 16 per c?fiU.

of moro than the average intelligence, with few
exceptions, wore- Ignorant of I lie* fact that their

1 Then after dust we go:
1 And unto dust, and still athirst
j As far as we can know.
? Yet those who'tl try to shape our dust,
! With long and dismal face.
; Say making mud of wine and dust
nejjerves a nameless place.
! No dusty throat ran thrill in song?
! l.et's play the mud's a cake ?
! Vor. when the dustman swoops us up,
| What difference can it make?
