FRIENDSHIP FOR LABOR
WILL GET TAFT VOTES
OF WORKERS--H

President Taft made the exclusion of
japanese labor as certain as the exclu-
sion of the Chinese labor, but it has ac-
cOmplished that, and so automatically
that none of the friendship of Japan
so increased the friendly relations that
in the first nine months after the treaty
with Japan went into effect Japan
bought from the United States almost
twice as much as she had bought in the
entire previous year. And, roughly
speaking, half of all she paid to this
country went for the labor in the things
she bought.
And in all it's relations with foreign
countries the administration has sought
to promote the demand for American
goods. This has been somewhat con-
temptuously called dollar diplomacy"
But do you know what that means?
Dollar diplomacy" means more dollars
to be distributed as wages among
American Workmen. Is that subject
for contempt? 1t was this dollar d.
plomacy" which procured from Argen-
tina an order for two large battleships,
to be built. of course. with American
labor. 1t has meant the procuring OF
orders for American goods during the
Taft administration amounting to not
less than $1O0,O00,O00. And of that
500, 100000 approximately half has gone
for material and the other half has
gone. or will go, for labor.
Squeezing Out Water Helps Labor.
And, finally the enforcement of the
anti trust law has checked over capt.
| talization. Every time a trust was or
ganized there was an addition of an
immense amount of water" to it's cap
| ital stock-that is, purely fictitious
value Then, when the workmen de-
manded increased wages. it was pointed
out to them that the company could not
pay any more for their labor because
it could not now pay reasonable divi-
dends on its stock. OF course it could
not because a small dividend on it's
nominal stock would have meant an i'm
mense profit on the money actually in
vested. But with the dissolution of the
trusts the water is being squeezed out
of them, and when they are obliged to
bid against each other for labor, they
not only can, but will have to pay just
wages for the labor they employ.
We hear a good deal these days aboutj
the "pernicious activity of the depart
ment of justice" Do you think that
men who work for their living will
| regard that sort OF activity 'perni-
cious?" Wall Street regards it perni-l
| cious, of course. The Harvester trusei
and the Steel trust and the Beef trust
regard it as PERM cious" to the last de-
gree, gross interference of what some
one-I think it was one of the members
of the Anthracite Coal trust-called
the divine right of ownership"
The persistence with which the de-
partment of justice has enforced thet
safety appliance act has been regarded
as "pernicious activity by a certains
class of railway directors and trust
magnates But do you imagine for one
moment that the American workman,
with his intelligence, is going to re-
gard such activity as perniciouA orr
even that he will fail to appreciate the
work which has been done in his be-
half and to approve it with his vote on
next election day?"
