4 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 listic corporation and the special pr ilege seeker Having had su< - i ess in forming many great trusts, an tn unloading hundreds of mil lions i f watered stock upon the public Mr Perkins is encouraged into believing that lie can capital ize public opinion through the fot mation of a great political <otpo rat on. to which h>- and Colonel Roosevelt have given the mislead ing name Progressive parts which name was undoubtedly chosen in me hope that it would bring support from the masses among whom the progress, ve sen timent is strong tided by "80-s Flinn in Pennsylvania am- «• —s Woodruff in New Yon Mt P'-ikitis and Colonel Room veil a e imn en d savoring to unload the! ovei valued political si o'k pci iln un suspecting votei by invi ng ill to join the third term o.h - uul of which. »'• 'I" ci.iiii.k <■' the great ind' •»»>.»! ar I r. i i.usts W 111 b* J inmi by motets Want Only Worker's Vo'es In his pose a* a progressive Mt Perkins claims to lie the filer, i t both the business man and u n orke r T at. as fa ■ o anyone fan discover h:« conversion to workingmans <au»f .ate only when lie realised the nee, ot the workingman « vote ,n axong ■ nel Roosevelts -nod in - r»t»i cion* .Mr Perkins now l-r. i»* ecu il opnot iji ' 1 '• » ' n a matter of fa< r ■ through ' • loot tarter ».• tru >m.nt a»"l AT THE THEATERS MANY PARTIES ARRANGED TO SEE "THE QUAKER GIRL" The Quaker Girl.' which is at the vtlanta this week, is being praised more than an' musical comedy seen in the South in years The cleanliness and beauty of the performance are remarka ble while the excellent work done by Vidor Morley and Natalie Alt brings I forth commendations from all The eom , ]>any altogether is thoroughly ['leasing. ! rhe chorus especially being fresh and I pretty The engagement continues through tonight, tomorrow night.

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.
