CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH.
Report of the Massachusetts Bureau
of Labor Statistics.

Report of the Massachusetts Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
Horace Il. Wadlin, Chief of the Massa-
chusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics, has
Just made public his report on the concen-
tration of wealth in Massachusetts since
1880. His method of inquiry was through
the medium of the Probate Courts of the
State upon the inventory Of estates.
Mr.. Wadlin classiies his figures into
three periods as follows, and says:
The year 1890 practically marks the close
of the era of hand production, and the be-
ginning of the area of the machine in in
dustry. The period eliminating in 1850
practically marks the establishment of
modern methods, and enables us to measure
the results of the momentous transition
that took place during the thirty years pre-
vious. In the period extending
from 1860 to $780, the factory
system being thoroughly estab-
lished, extensive establishments were
founded, railways were extended and con-
solidated, workingmen and employers were
perfecting organization, the country had
passed through the Civil war, and subse-
gu ent speculation, initiation of prices, and
other causes, eliminated in one of the
greatest and most protlacted industrial de-
pressions that the country has ever seen.
At the close of the period, the country was
In a condition of great industrial stability,
under new conditions. The period cul
minated in 1890 enables us to measure the
results of modern industrial activity, under
which production has been indefinitely ex
tended, great wealth accumulated, and the
peculiar conditions which have marked
modern industrial operations have been
operative. These conditions include the
movement from individual to corporate
ownership, and the general tendency to
mass capital in few hands.

election laws of Belgium are even more nm
just and more in favor Of the capitalist
class than the infamous laws which govern
the election for national representatives,
inasmuch as they give some men three
votes and others no vote at all, we must
certainly conclude that the Belgian wage
workers have clear conception of the fact
that the struggle between capital and labor
is to be fought out not only on economic
lines, but also on the ballot box. They
understand that it is class war. 1t is no
wonder that we are told by some of the
pure and simple labor leaders on this side
of the pond that the workingmen on
the other side are farther advanced
than here, when we know that
there is vast difference between leader
and leader The labor leaders in Belgium
are practical men not afraid of their con-
victions; they are not merely talking ma
chimes. They are in private what they are
in public, and stand at the head at all times.
They need not to be pushed from behind be-
fore they advance. Would it be too de-
grading or would it be too un American, if
some of our leader gentleman here were to
follow the example? Would not the Amer
lean wage worker be as far advanced as his
European brother if indeed practical les
sons had been taught here? Waiting for an
answer from the gentlemen and 'prac-
tical' leaders of the ''pure and simple"
style, remain, DE BRUYN.

publishes the following: ''There are spon-

Board of Health should detail practical

shops when they are in full blast and
analyze the surrounding atmosphere, not
to mention the vermin in some
shops. We are satisfied that there
are plentiful of impurities which do not only
endanger the health of the employees but
also of the consumers of eatables that are
coming out of the impure shops. The
Bakers Union No. 9 can furnish the Board
of Health sufficient Of information where
the immediate attention of the Board
should be direcced to. We do not maintain
that all cases of diphtheritis or other con-

The Financial Swindlers and the
Anarchist Mud.
1.-THE Review of Reviews prints con-
densed report of a recent great legisla
tive battle in the French Congress as
follows: M. Jaures, the brilliant So
cialist deputy, in moving as amendment
to the anarchist bill which almost sue
ceeded in securing the assent of the
Chambers, proposed that all public men
Ministers, Senators or Deputies-who
shall have trafficked with their mandate,
received brides OF participated in question
able financial concerns, whether as Direct
ors OF companies condemned by the court,
or by extolling such concerns before
one OF more persons, shall be guilty
of anarchistic propaganda M. Jaures
made telling point when he contrasted
the hecatomb of victims sacrificed on
the Panama Canal to the demon of
financial corruption with the handful
of men killed by the anarchists. IAN
ancient poet had said that dust was the
thirsty sister of mud. The anarchist mud
was the sister of financial and political
DUST Danish the Anarchist if you will,
but first send to New Caledonia the financial
swindlers whose corruption drove the
ruined to despair: M. Jaures made such
an impression in the Chamber that but for
the vote of Ministers themselves his amend
ment would have been carried. 1t was lost
by only six votes.

THE TOBACCO WORKERS.

To Organized Labor and the Public In
General.
GREETING; We beg to call your attention
to the following, hoping you will give it
your earnest consideration:
The American Tobacco Company has
recently purchased the Jas. G. Butler To-
bacco Company, of st. Louis, Mo-, which
was prior to the change Of management,
union factory throughout. Under the
trust management about les stemmers'
services were dispensed with,
and their work is now being
done in the Trust factory in Louisville, Ky.
Furthermore such members as had done
efficient services as shop committees prior
to the change of management were refused
employment as union people. They laid
the matter before their respective locals,
who appointed committees to wait ON the
management relative to the matter, but
they received no encouragement, charges
of trivial nature being preferred against
the parties, which the committee proved
to be groundless. The matter was then
placed in the hands of the National Ex
ecutive Board, committee of whom waited
on the management, and were informed
by Mr.. Doerhoffer that he was getting
tired of having committees waiting on him
relative to this matter. When questioned
in regard to the union people who had been
Disseminated against, he stated he did not
want such people in his factory; and fur
thermore he would not allow the employees
to discuss union matters while in the fac
tory, while working OF during noon hour.
He thought the streets, their meeting halls
or their homes were big enough to discuss
such matters in; and further if he knew of
one of his employees doing any propaganda
work in his factory he would discharge him
''that quick'' at the same time swapping
his fingers as an indication of how quickly it
would be done. a
The committee having exhausted all
honorable means in their power of making
an amicable settlement, and a similar state
of affairs existing in their factory at Louis
vile, KY, they decided to place boycott
on all the products of the American Tobacco
Co.
The following are some of their leading
brands:
Plug Tobacco-Battle AK, Newsboy,
Piper Heidsick, Something Good, Pedro.
Smoking Tobacco-Gail e. AK Navy,
Honest Long Cut, Dukes Mixture, Seal OF
North Carolina, Ivanhoe, Greenback.
Cigarettes -Dukes Cameo, Sweet Cap
oral, Cycle, Old Judge.
Also boycott all other brands manufact-
ured by the American Tobacco Company.
Yours fraternally,
NATIONAL TOBACCO WORKERS UNION OF
AMERICA.

of st. Louis and vicinity.

ing of the above figures and facts that Mr.
Wadlin has come very near the reasoning
line of thought, smacking of Socialism.
Yet such is not the case.
Evidently Mr.. Wadlin caught his breath
in time and arranged his figures and facts
so as to prove everything and nothing just
to suit the taste of the reader who is look
ing for arguments. Mr.. Wadlin seems to
be anxious to hide the real significance OF
the figures by throwing a sort Of mist over
them. He says;
''While much of the theorizing as to the
tendency of modern industrialism with re-
spect to wealth distribution is superficial
and fallacious, there are some conspicuous
facts which show that its ownership is
concentrating. Indeed, it is essential to
the success of industrial operations, as at
present conducted, that capital should
be massed, controlled and directed IN
few hands. How far this concentration
has proceeded, what are its probable lin
itations, and what upon the whole are its
advantages and disadvantages, are ques-
tions Of vital interest, respecting which
there is at present little exact knowledge,
although there is much fragmentary in
formation of more or less Importance
in general consideration Of the subject. ~
Mr.. Wadlin's statement that the exact
knowledge upon this subject is frag-
mentary, is an evidence of inexcusablo
ignorance on his part. A man in his posi-
ton ought to be familiar with the writings
of such authorities as Karl Mar Frederick
Engels, LaSalle and others who have made
this subject a lives study,
and of their teachings have been
published in all modern languages and upon
the lessons taught by their scientific works
great political party has been built whose
object it is to crystalize into practical law
for the benefit of all mankind the results OF
modern genius, as developed in our social
industrial system Of production and ex-
change and to establish the Socialist
Co operative Commonwealth in place OF the
present individual comparative system,
which concentrates the wealth produced
by the nation into the hands of privileged
few, at the same time paupcrizing the
masses of the people.
There is no use hiding the facts or yelling
their importance
The wealth concentration will go on until
the safety of the nation demands change.
The report of Mr.. Wadlin is sign of the
times and welcome reading matter for all
those who haye for years attempted to draw
the attention of the people to the rising
danger of this wealth concentrating pro-
cess. NJ. RUTHER.
