PERKINS. TRUST
CHIEF. ASSAILED
BYSPRECKELS
Progressive Pretensions of the
Third-Term Leader Were a
Sham. He Says.
NEW YORK. Oct 111.-In an open
let;?’ to progressive Republi an?. Ru
dolph Spreckels, president of the W il
*on National Progressive Republican
league, assails the progressive preten
sions of George W Perkins, chairman
of the executive committee of the third
term party. He declares that not while
Mr Perkins continues his connections
with the harvester trust and other trust
interests can he truthfully proclaim
himself ag progressive of the typ" ac
ceptable to thoughtful men. Mr. Per
kins' progressiveness, according to Mr.
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 a« 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 »ten
his pose Is neither convincing nor
impressive. To those who see be
neath the surface of political pre
tense, he l.« merely the agent of
Rig 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 Big 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 Perkin* 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 notoriously
oppressive of the wage earner? il -
ls aware of the intolerable condi
ions existing at the Osborn Twine
Company—a subsidiary of the hai
tester trust —revealed by the New
York state factory investigating
commission Sworn testimony lie
fore that commission showed that
votnen and children were required
o toll twelve hours a day for $.
and M a week These women were
employed at night and their hus
bands labored a corresponding
number 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 hate ever known When
there conditions were brought to
Mr Perkins' attention his answei
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 on the capital invest
ed What he said was merely the
familiar doctrine preached by men
of his class—men who place the
r ghls of capital above the rights of
humanity. And yet Mr Perkins
would have us believe he trulj rep
regents the progressive cause.
Promises to Trusts.
It is not hard to understand win
Mr. Perkins should stand at the
head and front of t'ulonel Roose
velt’s party. Both are in accord
on one thing that while 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
privilege seeker. Having had suc
cess in forming many great trust -
an tn unloading hundreds of mil
lions of watered stock upon tin
public. Mr Petkins is encouraged
into believing that he can capital
ize public opinion through the for
mation of a gieat political corpo
ration, to which he ami Colonel
Roosevelt have given the nilsleu.

chosen in the hope that it would

how little thoughtful men are to

how little he understands a cause
