1t is a frightful sho,,As o.a proves
the utter hypocrisy OF llo claim as to
what Perkins wants to do for work
ing people. If he is 50 anxious to inn
prove their conditions why does he
aot better the surroundings under
which tney work in his own plants?
Why does he not pay his women en-
ployos wages upon which they can
aope to feed themselves ana clothe
themselves and their children in de-
cency?
Perkins like other trust magnates
that are backing Roosevelt and his
bull moose brigade are not doing so
to benefit humanity. They are fear
full for their own selfish hides. They
have operated long under reign of
special privilege and have made NIL
lions for themselves white choking
the very lives out of their workers,
They are afraid to face presidential
administration free from their rotten

will be taken off the products of the
steel and harvester trusts and that
they will have to give the country

In reality it is not such a move at all

of defence Perkins, Hanna, Flynn
and Mccormick are planning no at
tack on the Castle of Privilege. They
are out to protect the citadel because
it is where they live.
