WHEN the Wall Street government sent
Dwight w. Morrow down to Mexico as
its ambassador, it was the house of j. P.
Morgan sending down one of its leading men,
bers to personally supervise the saving of the
Mexican oil lands for the house of Morgan.
When Morrow returned, the house of Nor
gan specialized as to what post it needed Nor
row most in.
There was talk of Morrow as a cabinet
member-a personal representative of Morgan
to supervise things in the cabinet
But even more important than this, the
house of Morgan deems it necessary that
Morrow be its personal representative as U.
S. Senator from the state of New Jersey.
For the strangle-hold of the house of Nor
gan on the industries of New Jersey and the
capitalist political parties of New Jersey is
probably greater than the Morgan hold on in
dustry and politics in any other single state.
For one thing, northern New Jersey is the
freight railroad center of this country. Every
railroad with freight termini in New Jersey,
the Penn, the Erie the Baltimore and Ohio,
the New Jersey Central and about score of
others-are in the grip of the Morgan inter
locking directorates.
And perhaps so per cent of the railroad
workers in the Hudson, Essex and Bergen
County areas are unemployed. The rest are
on part time and have had drastic wage re-
auctions.
The American Railway Express has some
of its largest stations in Northern New Jer-
sey. 1t has laid off many thousands of work
ers in the past few months, and cut wages
sharply.
The giant Public Service dragon-with its
grip on practically all of the electric power,
gas, street car and bus transportation-is con-
trolled by Morgan
Morrow owns large part of the shares in
the Public Service.
The discomfort of the workers of New Jer-
sey is great.
The A. F. of L. cannot and does not want
to give leadership to the workers of New
Jersey
There cannot be found anywhere in this
country more corrupt section of the filthy
A. F. of l.. machinery than the Brandle ma
chine of Hudson County New Jersey.
Brandle is the building trades unions car.
He is on the payroll of the Iron League Of
N. 1.-THE structural iron bosses association
for 100000 year. Openly on the payroll
He heads huge insurance company, which
makes millions for him through the agency of
the BOSSES
Brandle supports Simpson, the democratic
candidate for U. S. Senator.
Hilfers, leading light of the A. F. of L.,
former treasurer of the State Federation of
Labor, on the other hand supports Morrow
Hilfers was proven to have accepted 100000
from the open shop bosses of NewfJersey,
few years ago.
The N. j. workers want to fight. Here are
some examples, as proof.
Buffers and polishers at the big Edison
Electric works at West Orange struck against
wage slash that sent rates from SO cents
down to 10 cents an hour. The Edison plant
has laid off thousands. These strikers were
members of the A. F. of L. Metal Polishers'
Union and hence were sold out.
Four strikes have recently taken place in
Paterson under National Textile Workers
Union leadership. They were strikes against
wage cuts.
These are some of the reasons why the house
of Morgan wants its member, Morrow, to per-
sonally supervise things in New Jersey
