4 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. mg name— Progressive party which name was undoubtedly chosen in the hope that it would bring support from the masses among whom th, progressive sen timent is strong Aided by ’Hoss ' Flinn in Pennsylvania and "Boss" Woodruff in New York.
