Wilson Attacks Wall Street.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Not little to the surprise of the public as well as the politicians, President Wilson, in his initial address here today, open- cd an attack on Wall street by de- claring that one thing the matter with the United States is that 0 small group of men are in practical control of the country through their control of the bulk of the resources and industries.
 This he intimated was one ot the most serious conditions that the country was compelled to labor under. A small group of men representing vast aggregations of capital could not only control but also practically shape the destinies of millions of the masses and, to a great extent, the very poli- cies of the nation.
 Near the conclusion of his remarks on the subject, Wilson openly hinted that this control of the country by q relatively small number of persons is breeding tremendous discontent which in time will develop conditions of grave importance and may even lead to disastrous consequences. Af- ter dilating further on the influences of capitalstic control, the president startled his hearers by openly limiting that 8 mighty industrial revolution
