The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-09-29

crate manner in which the plum
derbund in Minnesota is developing
its effort to crush the Farmer-Labor
Party in that state Is seen in part
in the importation OF Charles M.
Schwab, chairman of the board Of
directors of the Bethlehem Steel
corporation, to make a prosperity"
and success" address before the
annual meeting of the Manufacture
ers' Association of Minneapolis.
One thousand business men," the
backbone Of the republican party in
Minnesota, listened to the steel pro-
f1teer promise that "the northwest,
richly endowed with the gifts Of
god, can become the leading section
Of this country
The speech was not intended so
much for the business men who
listened to Schwab dilate energeti-
cally on the alleged divine blessing.
His remarks were especially con-
cocted to dope the restless workers
in the cities and the disconnected
farmers; the former who have seen
their unions crushed and wellnigh
annihilated under the open shop
Coolidge Mellon Hoover regime,
while the latter have suffered bank
ruptcies and mortgage foreclosures
under the tyranny of the food gamb-
lers, the bankers, the landlords and
the transportation interests. This
brand Of dope is summarized for
the benefit of it's farmer-labor read
ers by the capitalist Minneapolis
journal, claimed as the organ of
the steel interests, as follows:
Schwab said:
THE United States continues to
develop more rapidly than ever des-
pite the oft repeated question as
to whether the peak is not near.
'The young man of today has
greater opportunities for success
than any Of his ancestors ever had
in this country.
1.-THE next rs to so years will wit
ness the greatest industrial develop
ment this country ever has known.
There would be no farm problem
if the principles that have brought
success to industry were made to
apply to agriculture.
THE greatest thrill in life comes
not from money but from the real
ization of dream or ambition after
much effort.
"The happiest days are those of
the struggle for success, not those
coming after success.
1.-THE richest memories and the
greatest wealth are the associations
and friendships developed by the
fight for success.
Confidence in oneself and ones
business are the basis of success.
"The only way to make money is
to take hold of something and de-
velop it."
These are the gloatings of the
multi-millionaire steel magnate, in
whose mills the workers are I'M
organized and compelled to yield up
the wealth they produce because
Schwab has the governmental
tyranny directed by the republican
party at his every beck and call.
Schwab vents to continue repub-
lican rule in Minnesota, knowing If
it is wiped out there, the independ-
ent political action Of the workers
and farmers will spread to other
states and to the nation.
The workers in the iron mines of
northern Minnesota, in the lumber
mills of the state, in the great -four
mills of Minneapolis, in the fac
tories and workshops everywhere,
know that the prosperity that
Schwab speaks Of is not for them.
Schwab Landed James ]. Hill, the
bitterly antilabor railroad baron,
and the late Archbishop Ireland,
Hills catholic ally. 1t was "Jim'
Hill who first sought TO bring the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and Burlington railroads under one
management, carrying out Schwab's
idea which he stated in these
words:
mo individual can accomplish
much without the associations OF
others. Industrial development is
the work of associations, big asso-
Citations, and am believer in
