Synopsis
Excerpt from The Proposed Railway Trust
Tary unincorporated association the public W111 t be scared. When an organization, not indeed the trust theory, but designed, as public at least, to accomplish in somerespects very much the game ends contemplated in the creation of trusts, was lately called the Inter state Commerce Railway Association, no one was seriously disturbed, and nobody shouted conspir acy or stop thief. The partisan newspapers also who, in one column were bawling out vituper ation of trusts, on another page gleefully make small jokes over what they called an agreement among gentlemen. They were so taken with their wit that they entirely overlooked what they might have called the trust iniquity that lurked in it. Witness also the persistence with which they miscall the North American Salt Co. A trust. It will, in this state of the public intelli gence and temper, be wise to throw it a sop in the matter of the name for the railway trust.
