The repnrt of the State La

The report Of the State La
Dor Commissioner of Massa-
chussetts shows a startling
state of affairs among the
cotton mill laborers of that
state. There are $4,000 men
employed in the mills, of
which 900 are women and
children. Skilled men receive
$1.1O per day; unskilled men
receive sc cents; skilled wo.
men receive IS cents; unskill-
ed women receive ~ cents;
children receive 81 cents.
There are from 10 to II work
ing hours each day, and from
their total wages the employ
ers always deduct time lost
through sickness, closing
down the mills or absence
from any other reason. The
laborers must put in full time,
or they are locked. What is
this if it is not slavery. Will
the laborlng people ever wake
up and do something for
Themselves

-LNsoLRNeE 0F TRUSTS.
a Striking ~Enatnnea of the Arrosanea
of the Growing monopo-
list

A day OF two ago the American Steel
g Wire company, a trust which has
made its exactions felt most cruelty
BIZ farmers who have to make much
use Of its product for fencing, issued
a ~peremptory order closing down IL
Of its mills situated in Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. AT the head
quarters Of the amalgamated ~associa-
ton Of iron, steel and tin workers in.
Pittsburgh it was estimated that the
loss to worki-gmen would aggregate
about $4,000 a week. The Chicago
Times-Herald, d stanch republican
newspaper, gathered reports from the
mill towns themselves, which indicate
that about $3.50 men were thrown out
Of employment and a lo~s Of about
SS8,000 in wages each week is incurred.
Col. John W. Lambert, one of the di-
recting officials Of the trust, explained
the shutdown with the characteristic
insolence and brutality of the typical
trust magnate thus: "our company
is running its business without any
need of explaining. We shut down and
open our mills when we see fit"
No well regulated mind nor any con-
science 0 completely ossifed by the
persistent pursuit of money making to
the exclusion of all other ideals win
for a moment accept the theory that
a business which employs nearly 1000
men, a business upon the continuance
Of which the livelihood of probably
$4,000 people is Immediately depend
emit, is the sole concern Of a few in
dividuals who, by methods familiar to
corporation managers, have seized upon

its control. The people as a whole have
some rights in these premises. The
nation cannot honestly remain silent
and supine while the domination of a
corporation over the lives and happi-
ness of a great body of industrious
men and their dependents is thus wan
tonly and brutally abused. In this
specific a S different explanations are
given for the shutdown. 1t is said that
it was caused by reproduction, but
that is a lie, for all through the west
farmers and mechanics have been
Btopped from satisfying their wants
for the products of this monopoly be-
cause its managers have repeatedly
increased prices until they have
reached almost the prohibitory point.
If there is any o~Ver-supply of its prod
uct in the market, it is because the
prices put upon it are such that the
ordinary consumer is driven to all
sorts Of eNpedients to avoid purchasing.
1t is said by others that the true rea-
son for the shutdown was that the
ruling spirits in the trust, one of
whom, by the way, John W. Gates, is
a republican ~aspirant for a United
States ~senatorship, have certain plans
for manipulating the stock market.
which the shutdown will further. This
Is possibly true, but it only lays en-
phasis upon the folly and the Grim
inality of permitting the control of a
great and necessary industry in the
United States to pass into the hands
of a small body of men, men who would
not have gained control of it if they
had not possessed the instinct Of gam
blers and who naturally utilize their
control to further their gambling
transactions.
We have said that a business OF this
sort is not priVase business, and that
no individual can rightfully make such
a statement as Col. Lambert is quoted
as having made, and that the people
as a whole must not sit quietly by and
allow his position to be maintained
without protest. But in saying this it
is not necessary to go to the other
extreme and hold that because the
business has attained such qualities Of
monopoly it should be conducted by
the government according to the So
cialistic idea, The reason the 1908
employees Of the American Steel& Wire
company + suddenly and arbitrarily
thrown out of work is because n
single governing board controls the
employment of all of them and con
trolls the industry in which all are n
gagged If the 10 mills involved were
operating as corporations should OPP
crate, Independently, one or two might
shut down, but the others would con
tinue. Indeed, it Is most unlikely that
any would shut down, because the
mill 50 doing would be in danger OF
losing its trade TO those which re-
manned in continuous operation. If,
therefore. the existing antitrust law
had been enforced against this monop-
ebstia corporation, not only would the
