the paper mills, and I am glad TO say tnaI
we have heeu fairly successful in getting
a scale of wages and the eight-hour 9 WoIh
day in New York and the New hngianu
States =.
''The first eight hours went into effect in
that industry eight or nine years ago, but
the Dix mills are still in the eleven Oh
thirteen hours, and the reason for that Is
this: The Wall Paper Trust has been able
to defeat every attempt that has ever Deen
made TO organize its mills. Mr.. DIX Is the
man who is responsible Tor those Coliql- III-
tions and why a paid organizer OF the
American Federation Of Labor should come
to his rescue and make excuses for hlm Is
more than l can fathom-
Wall Street and the interests"
You and I know that there IS no excuse
or justification for these long hours un1er
any circumstances, and the man who I'M
posed them is, 10 my mind, the greateSt
enemy that our movement has 10 contend
with I know that the Democratic party
has secured the state and has offered every
inducement to representatives OF organized
LABOR to say a word for the head Of Its
ticket-the candidate of Wall Street ano
the interests
Every wage worker should stand with us
for we are fighting the wage workers bat
tie Every honest citizen should stand witt
us for we are fighting the battle OF Abra-
ham LincOlns plain people. The wal
Street-Tammany campaign has completely
collapsed. They have not answered one
argument of Mr.. Stimsons: they have no.
advanced a single honest argument In thell
turn: they have been hammered out o.
every position they have taken. Their sole
chance of beating Mr.. Stimson and his
policies. as frankly stated in the campaign
circular distributed by Tammany Hal
through Wall Street, lies IN "a large outlay
Of money
Against this frank appeal to the forces OF
corruption we make our appeal TO the con
science and the reason of all good citizens
The drift Is overw helningly our way, for
the good citizens of the state have begun
to realize how vital are the issues at stake
Fundamentally the issue is between right
and wrong. between honesty and diShor
