lew York, May 1s.-Talking to
group of young men in the Carl schurz
funeral train yesterday. Andrew Carne-
gle spoke Of socialism and said:
I am an individualist and think the
state IS doing as much as it should. Ie
were a young man and alone in the
world I woulu work for a dollar a day.
if necessary, and don't think I woald
ask any one = help me. There is al
ways room for the man who is willing TO
work and when I hear to the contrary
It seems hard to believe.
I know Of manufacturers who are
willing to pay 50 a day for men. and
they tell me they have difficulty in Sc
curing labor. Socialism of a sort seems
to be growing in this ountry. I see evI-
dences of it everywhere, but to me it IS
not the real solution.
F with health and good habits and the
Willingness to work the chances in
America are as good as they ever were
