PERKINS, TRUST
CHIEF, ASSAILED
BE SPRECKELS
Progressive Pretensions of the
Third-Term Leader Were a
Sham. He Says.
SEW YORK. O<t H' —ln an ' pen
lettYi to progressive Republv ans. Ru
dolph Spreckels, president of the Wil
son Nations' Progressive Republican
league, assails the progressive preten
sions of George \V. Perkins, chairman
of the executive committee of the third
term parti. He declares tha’ not while
Mr. Perkins continues his connections
with the harvester trust and other trust
interests can he truthfully proi laim
himself a progressive of the typo ac
ceptable to thoughtful men Mr. Per
kins' progressiveness, according to Mi.
Spreckels, is 50 per cent sham and 50
per cent desire to win public favor in
his new role
By RUDOLPH SPRECKELS.
One of the curious shams of the
present political campaign is the
pose of George W. Perkins as a
friend of the progressive cause Mr.
Perkins, although a prominent pro
moter of industrial and financial
trusts, asks that he be accepted in
the progressive ranks as truly rep
resenting the principles embodied In
this cause. But to thoughtful tnen
his pose Is neither convincing nor
impressive To those who see be
neath the surface of political pre
tense, he Is merely the agent of
Big Business at the third term par
ty's council. Underlying Mr. Per
kins' real alm Is a desire to control
the machinery of government in an
effort to protect Rig Business and
to legalize the monopolies he helped
to create.
He Is chairman of the finance
committee of the International Har
vester Company, a trust that was
investigated by the Federal govern
ment, and charged with being a
monopoly in restraint of trade It
was Mr Perkins who Interceded
with Herbert Knox Smith, the com
missioner of corporations, with the
result that Mr. Roosevelt held up
the report upon which the govern
ment's prosecution of this trust was
to be based
Twine Company Scandal.
How can Mr Perkins sustain his
pretensions of Interest in the wel
fare of the wage earner when in
reality he is an officer of a corpo
ration which has been notorious!'
oppressive of the wage eamei .' He
is aware of the Intolerable condi
ions existing at the Osborn Twine
Company —a subsidiary of the har
vester trust —revealed !>■ the Xeu
York state factory Investigating
commission Sworn testimony be
fore that commission showed that
women and children were required
o toll twelve hours a day for $7
and $8 a week These women were
employed at night and theft hus
bands labored a corresponding
numbel of hours In the day time
'n short, the conditions imposed on
labor in this harvester trust plant
furnished one of the worst indict
ments against an American busi
ness man 1 have ever known. \\ han
the. e conditions were brought to
Mr. Perkins' attention his answer
was characteristic. He said in sub
stance that this company was com
pelled to work its laborers as it did
because it must earn a certain in
come to pay "n the capital invest
ed What he said was merely tin
familiar doctrine preached by men
of his class men who place the
rights of capita! above the rights of
humanity And yet Mr. Petkins
would have us believe he truly rep
resents the progressive cause.
Promises to Trusts.
It is no; hard to understand why
Mr. Perkins should stand nt the
head and front of Colonel Roose
velt's partv. Both are In accord
on one tiling that white they want
the votes of all men. business men
and worker alike, they offer no
promise to any save the monopo

into believing that lie can capital

THE GRAND IS HAVING

talent that would make Broadway [ray at

degree
The Chung VVah Chinese Comedy Quar
tet is a wonderfully interesting act.
There are four real Chinamen in the com

They appear first in native costume and

CROWDS AT THE FORSYTH
TO SEE BUNTING COMPANY
Little lemma Bunting ami her players
are crowding the Forsyth at all perforin

Thursday and Saturday afternoons will be
decidedly popular Miss Bunting is in
splendid form and her company is surely
Ihe best that has been associated with
her here. Miss Bunting is “The Morals
of Marcus” runs the scale of her types in
character impersonal lons
The bill that will be offered for next
week will be "The Little Minister." one of
the greatest plays that has ever been
staged She is fitted for the leading role
and the play will give the company a
trust promoter, he thought only of
the opportunity to business cre
ated by monopoly
What Mr. Perkins and his kind
are seeking to do is to foist upon
the people a scheme for legalized
monopoly which must, in a short
time, drive out the small manufac
turer and the small business man.
until in the end we will become a
nation of hired men Under his
plan a few men would control the
wealth and government of out na
tion and conditions undet which
nun labor will become intolerable.
But we may be certain that Mr
Perkins' kind of progressiveness
will not be triumphant in Novem
ber. Defeat will show Mr. Perkins
how little thoughtful men are to
be fooled by his pretensions, and
how little he understands a cause
that puts thought of humanity be
fore thought of business.
