During the past year several
million mechanics and laborers
have been thrown out of employ
ment and had their wages reduced
by privately owned trusts and cor

the national, state and municipal

help and reduce wages, but actually
furnished more employment for
working people than ever before in
the country's history, and in many
instances raised wages. What do
