Conditions are getting pretty
rocky in this county when they are
such that corporation can earn
such profits that it deems it unwise
to publicly announce the dividends
paid its stockholders. The plate
glass trust recently publicly de-
clared a dividend of 7 per cent 1t
has since leaked out that on top of
this a dividend of 100 per cent was
secretly divided among the stock
holders. Such is the result of the
nefarious policies which have been
forced upon the country by the re-
publican party,-Pittsburg (TeX.)
