Co-operation is the panacea for the industrial ilia and agricul­ tural depression of thia age, juet aa the shield and spear were the sole defence of old. The rich and powerful are co- operating against the weak and helpless; the strong and able-bodied are joining hands against the divid­ ed households of the deluded and waning factions among the trades and common classes, everywhere. Industrial strategy has come to be the weapon of the organized syndicates and it must become the weapon of the unorganized farmers and laborers, if the balance of pop­ ular government is to be maintain- ' ed. Markets are manipulated by well organized manufacturing interests. The demand for the resources of the country can be throttled by the trusts until the producer must bow in meekness before these gigantic concerns. The labor market, the price of wages, the price of living, and the very foundation of tne bone among the poor are nil in the hands of the great combinations of capital which can pinch down on the masses at will. The utter hopelessness of the fight of the organized trust wan thrillingly illustrated to the East Oregonian in the conversation of a Butter Creek cattleman and farmer. He said the trusts and corpora­ tions had combined in reducing prices of cattle and raising trans­ portation rates, so it was impossible for the Butter Creek man to ship his product East. That market although it may need his stuff, is denied him through the manipula­ tions of the trusts. His only re­ course is to sell to the Portland and Sound markets, and they have com­ bined to reduce prices on beef so it is almost impossible to get out, even on a shipment of fat stock on those points. ‘‘Will the combination pursue its destructive course until it under­ mines the cattle business in Oreg- on?" he asks, Will prices be held down and the demand throttl­ ed by the trust until we will be forced to abondon our industry, and forfeit to their infamous greed the money wi now have invested in range cattle and hay farms for their support? These are the ques­ tions that confront us.” These question« are truly perti­ nent. They underlie the very foun­ dations of agriculture and cattle raising in the West. Will the trusts pursue their destructive course until these industries perish or fall into the hands of the trusts? W ith their immense storage fa­ cilities, the beef combinations on the coast can store enough ahead to supply tliier demands for months in advance They can then refuse to purchase fat cattle, with impuni­ ty, just when the farmer must have mom ; to meet the running expen- s - of his business They can then hammer down prices to suit thein- selvoH, for they have the market, both for the stull'and the finished product, in their grasp.
