Epatnfpl@ Pocket and the shallow yiewa
.of.. polttieal eeoae my YOU that
all our: troubles ar1dk financial WORRIES
are adne to the labor unions.
After this statement: there follows a
recital Of labor union shortcomings.
extrayagant demands, @extrayasant re-
<gulations, too short hours, ..interfer-
ence with. the business mani S. rights,
For the sake of argument let us
take Tor granted everything that lis
said against labor unions. But is the
labor pntonist the only Individual
whose charges are excessive and hard
for the country to: bear?
Perhaps it Is very sad and serious
when "a man charges ss5 for :workink
only eight hours day. But at: least
he does work for thoaes$5 during those
eight hours. And when heAsets ther$5
the money goes back to the general
fund Through the "stores. rents, 4etc.
How about the mechanics Of high
finance, the builders OF trusts?
Are not their charges for services
a little Successive.
Let U.s. take Mr.. Morgan, tor instance:
He conceives the idea that it~wourd~be
good thing TO buy Mr.. Garnegie's
steel plants, combine them with other
steel plants and start "a steel trust.
He gives Of his, actual time :perhaps
week or ten days altogether to this
undertaking. Then,,as: is: officially IAN -
:nounced, he makes by his weeks or
ten days. work some forty or fifty
millions in dtsposing ot4 the stock, and
hts friends make that much several
times over.
The stock is ,floated-which means
that poor fools buy It.
What is actually worth at the very
outside five hundred millions is sold
to the public for fifteen zlttlndred mil
lions.
Don't you think that the present "a
>naneial .troubles have a little to do
with the high price that a1dr. 5MoEsan
and those like Min charge tor their
l4serVices?
Somebody thinks It would be d good
Idea to sget mp q :shfphui1ding trust:
This =shipbuildtng trust is got up DC
Eoordingly, and, Just for a sci1xst4se 1T
goes to smash.
But the gentlemen who get 1T Up
