BORAH ATTACKS
GEORGE W. PERKINS
Senator Calls Him Epitome of
Evils of Monopoly.
URGED TO MAKE RESTITUTION
Lawnaker From Idaho in Letter AS
serts Progressive Leader OBJ
tanned Fortune From Sew
eral Monopolies.

Washington, March 2.-Senator Will
lam E. Borah Of Idaho turned on his
assailants at Columbus, criticising es-
pecially former Senator Beveridge and
George S. Perkins Mr.. Perkins re-
sented the references to himself and
wrote a letter to Senator Borah which
the senator read in the newspapers.
In caustic reply Senator Borah
pays his compliments to Mr. Perkins
and what he conceives to be the lat
ter's attitude toward monopoly.
Incidentally Senator Borah refers to
Mr.. Perkins connection with the IN
ternational Harvester company, which
he denounces as The most uncon-
SciOnable and shameless monopoly"
and which he suggests Mr.. Perkins or
gained, and says it was intended to
and did sufficiently control this indus
try and dominate it, and out Of which
you took, as | am informed between
S5,000,000 and $7,000,000."
Mr. Perkins letter was a disclaimer
taat he was defending monopoly. On
this point the senator passes out the
following TO the Bull Moose leader;
If you did take out that amount,
who paid it? Ultimately, the farmers
Of this country. And how were you
able to make them pay you between
$5,000,O00 and $10O0,000 for what you
did? Simply through the power Of
cruel and brutal monopoly"
Assais Treatment Of Workers.
],
monopolistic characteristic of the har-
yester trust as the inhuman way ia
which it worked and treated it's EN-
ployes."
Nov, sir, if you will take into con
sideration the tremendous fortune
which you took out of this combina-
ton the oppressed and distressed con
dition and poverty stricke wages of,
it's employees, and your crisp and
cynical comment, it occurs to me that
you not only have here all of the char
acteristics and workings of monop-
oily, but you have its utterly unfeeling
master"
Senator Borah then reviews the his
tory of the organization of the steel
trust and reminds Mr. Perkins of his
connection with that organization
through the firm of J. P. Morgan &
Co., which, according to Senator
Borah, took $62 100000 out as profits
for devising a plan by which competi-
ton was destroyed.
Charges Other Trust Operations.
The senator also Identifies Mr. Per-
kins with the organization Of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford system
to dominate the transportation of New
England. Describing the New Haven
organization, Senator Borah says:
ct was, Mr.. Perkins, 3 criminal
transaction, the m, who manipulated
! it to get the benefit of it were just as
much viOlatOrs of the law as the man
who holds me up on the street and
takes my purse. If | do you an in
justice in assuming that you had any
part in this, or that you received any
benefit from this nefarious and in
famous transaction, no one will act
more quickly than myself in correct
ing it"
