Standing on the floor of the United States Senate;
representing the great Of Kansas in that august
BODY; member of the dominant political party in this
country and in both branches of Congress- Andrew Cap
per- his latest oratorcal drive the proteers,
said, among other-many other-things:
That the profits of cotton manufacturing cor
poratin seven times in 1919 than in 1917"
That plate and sheet steel mills made a profit
"of 1000 per cent"
That the profits of largest sugar refining cor

That frut-mporting corporation took profits of 40
per cent a S50O00OOO capitalization.
That the increase between farm and store prices of
cotton material is about 1900 per cent.
That the Continental Oil and the United Fuel and
Gas Companies have recently declared stock dividends
of 200 per cent while five other corporations by
the senator per stock dividends
Commenting upon these alleged facts, Senator Capper
said: Ths people helpless. 1t is piracy colossal

WHAT WE ARE eoINe AGAINST

Here is what three months of so-called Intelligent
Wall Street operation has given the country:
1. nationwide embargo.
2. very bad strike.
8. A loss of 100000 freight due to the un
scrambling process.
4. Tens of thousands of men have been thrown out
of work in different parts of the country bv the break
down the railways the embargoes, and the fuel and
material shortage.
5. Food prices have increased. The farmers have
threatened not to plant crops.
6. Two and one-half million railroad workers, who
for two enjoyed of dignity and freedom,
have been reduced to wages and have been sub
iected to all kinds of ndgnites that led to bitterness
and resentment; that did not exist under
federal control.
