He spoke in part as follows:
Il wish, ladies and gentlemen, to cali
your attention to the overpowering eff
Iect of the growth of the trusts in this
country. There are any number of
trusts in this country, and it would
be only waste of time to enumerate
them, but just stop to think for min
ute what they have done for you in this
state. Observe, if you will, the iron
trust. 1t is controlling the output of the
mines in the northern part of this state
1t can control wages, and does so. 1t
can even stop the mines, all of them,
if it so wishes. That fact is very evil
dent, for all competing mining COM
panies have been killed off. You know
what this condition of things means for
the working man.
There's the flour trust You know
the number of mills it has closed In this
state and in this country. What will
happen to millwrightS when there is
absolutely no competition, when 1.-The
trust can dictate terms to everyone in
sight?
There are the steel plants in Duluth
and Superior. They have been closed
down by the pipe trust.
