Monroe Journal discusses barber price rise and trusts
The Monroe Journal comments on barber shops in Monroe raising shaves from ten to fifteen cents and debates U S Steel as a trust under anti trust law. It criticizes the law for not treating natural resource monopolies as trusts while noting cases like Harvester and Standard Oil. The piece argues monopolies arise from ore fields and patents and calls for overhauling law to curb private monopolies. It also highlights Dr Clarence Poe's book on farmer cooperation and notes local births and deaths.
