The American plutocracy has
failed tragically.
For more than fifty years-since
the end of the Civil ~war-big busi-
ness has been in control, OF the United
States. This control has been very
complete. Based on the ownership
Of the natural resources, public utili-
ties, mines, factories and stores, it
has been intended to include news
papers, colleges, schools, churches.
and other forces that shape public
opinion, as we'll as the machinery of
government. President Wilson in his
New Freedom" calls particular at
tentton to this complete domination
by big business of American public
life.
Business, in control Of the sources
of power-economic.s social and politi-
cal-announced business admin
istration' Of the worlds affairs.
The American. business interests
have enjoyed an unusual opportunity
during the past half century. The
! wealth Of the country increased thir-
ty-five times between 1850 and 1916:
the improvements in machinery,
transportation and the use of cleo
trio power made possible production
of conditions sufficient to provide the
necessaries and most of the simple
| comforts of life for every man,
; woman and child in the United
States. Education was spread broad
cast. knowledge increased. Never
in modern times had it been easier
to make a world fit for people to
live in. This was the promise and
the opportunity. What Of the per-

In 1916, after half century of
rule by business men," the property
ownership of the countr.: was so con-
centrated that per cent of the peo-
pie owned so. per cent of the wealth;
while six million families were living
in poverty. In the richest nation on
earth there were more poverty

( entire population in 1850. The cities
reeked with misery, vice and crime.
The struggle for bread was so terri

children were working long hours
under barbarous conditions. for pit

were everywhere. Then came 1917.
War, famine, disease, anguish and
death were added to the lot of a
world which has been managed, for
half a century, by business men,
made safe for business interests.
! The American plutocracy has been
tried out for fifty years. It has had
an opportunity to demonstrate what
it could do. During fifty years OF

The "dignity OF labor" sounds we'll
from the rostrum. >but the men and
women who will do the worlds work
and produce the worlds wealth are
rapidly learning that their dignity as
we'll as their happiness depends upon
their assistance in a more equitable
distribution Of the products Of their
toll. They have learned that the
only way to secure anything like a
fair division Is by organized effort,
through banding together In unions
for the raising of wages and the
shortening OF the hours of toll.
Through such organized effort they
have raised the standard Of living for
every worker. ."~-...
