lists Patterson proceeds to argue that
the rules of the game" are detriment-
al to the community, destroying equal
opportunity, and absolutely claiming
the labor of thousands of men, women
and children for years to the use and
benefit of these two youngsters. The
gist of his argument is in these two
paragraphs;
Marshall Field III was born into
possession of his mortgages on the la
hOr of thousands of men because his
sagacious grandfather had managed,
fairly and in full accordance with the
rules of the game, to get possession Of
certain of the tools of modern produc-
tion, such as rOlling-mills, railroad
shops, locomotives, cars, land both in
the suburban and downtown districts
of Chicago, New York, and London,
miles and miles of railroad rights Of
way, iron ore mines, steamships, coal
mines, forests, etc.
So from now on, rolling-mIl men
must pay the two little boys something
for the right to go into steel mills and
produce steel; all switchmen must pay
them something for the right to pull
switch on certain of the great Ameri-
can trunk lines; all engineers for the
right to open a throttle; hundreds of
business men, and therefore indirectly
thousands of their employees, pay them
for the right to do business in the
downtown districts of London, New
York and Chicago; every Chicagoan
pays them a tax.
