Emil Lederer · 1920
In this brief commission speaking turn, Lederer challenges an earlier claim by juxtaposing syndicate organization with evidence of expanded mining capacity:
Warum dann Syndikate? Man hat doch Zechen, die neue Schächte niedergebracht haben, nur um mehr produzieren zu können.
English translation: Why syndicates, then? There are, after all, collieries that have sunk new shafts solely to be able to produce more.
His rhetorical question makes the purpose of syndicates problematic; his example grounds the objection in investment directed toward increased output. The preceding claim is absent, so the precise target remains uncertain. The passage records a pointed challenge, not a developed explanation of syndicate policy.
