lf1terview With One Of RockefelIers
= Agents.

! New York, Nov. 12.-While the great
American sovereign is engaged in de-
posting his ballot and choosing the
system Of political and economic gov
ernment he desires, the writer will en-
brace the opportunity to make a few
observations, taking it for granted that
majority of the workers have not de-
clared in favor of emancipation through
political action, and consequently the
struggle will have to continue on the
economic field.
AS has been repeatedly forecasted,
conditions are developing that will sew
erely test the strength of the labor or
ganizations Of this country. On all sides
are evidence of the early approach of
another season of hard times, an indus
trial stagnation. The great capitalists
of the country and their newspapers do
not disguise the fact that general con-
confidence is somewhat shaken again.
Some few ascribe it to over-capitaliza-
tion Of trusts, and the many grasp the
opportunity to deal organized labor a
blow by claiming that they have been
making unreasonable demands for
higher wages and shorter hours.
These latter gentry are very quiet,
however, on the question Of the un-
reasonable profits that have been club
bed out of the people by exacting fat
dividends on watered stock. They do
not attempt to explain why millions
upon millions should be piled up; for a
few men while the great mass Of the
people are only able to pay board and
lodging and supply themselves with
clothing and a few ordinary necessities.
The workers do not progress proper
tionate to the wealth they produce be-
cause the shirkers, the captains of in
dustry, insist upon having the lions
share.
Last week, for example, the Standard
oil trust advanced the price of oil an
other cent and a half a gallon, which
means that the people will pay the
octopus an additional $4O,oo0,0oO pro-
fits. Coming down from Haverhill last
week, Thursday I>*accidentally fell in
