'Any Self-Respecting People
Should Be Ashamed to Accept
Charity From Them,”
WASHINGTON M»> V In i
»p*»«»ch before the Senate, in which lu
attacked the* Sherman anti-trust law
«a a failure. Senator Work*, of Cali-
fornia, bitterly criticised I he method*
of Andrew Carnegie fend John D.
Rockefeller in acquiring gr»-at for
t tines.
Senator Work* advocated the pa**
age of measures providing for the
criminal punishment of specific acts In
restraint of trade and clothing tlit* In
terstate Commerce Commission with
power to supervise the business of
other corporations as It now controls
rail reads.
He urged that the commission be
afve.i power "to Investigate nv cor
poration or corporations charged with
or suspected of contracting, combin-
ng. conspiring or monopolizing in re
straint of trade and to dissolve the
ombination and place the offending
• orporatlons in the hands of a receiv
er, whose duty it shall be to close up
the business of such corporations. It
is not enough to dissolve* the combi
nation The corporations themselves
should be dissolved and their businea*
wound up.”
‘Too Lenient With Rich Criminals.”
Senator Works declared that rich
criminals are dealt with too leniently
He declared there is no remedy but
“to take away the discretion of the
weaklings on the bench, make the
rime a felony and imprisonment Irr
peratlve ”
Speaking of the relation of a pro- j
tective tariff. trusts and wages paid,
Senator Works declared it would be
an excellent thing if the Interstate j
i 'ommerce Commission were given
power to adjust tnriffs to compel man-
ulecturers to pay fair wages.
Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller and their charities were
handled without gloves After ex
pressing his surprise that Congress
should have considered for one minute
:ie question of incorporating tile
Roc kefeller foundation. Senator Works
said of Carnegie's libraries:
Calls John D. a Poor Model.
Any self-respecting community
shou’d be ashamed to accept charity
of this kind, under any circumstances.
Much more should they refuse it. com
ing from such a source. As a matter
of simple justice and right the money
thus accumulated belongs* not to the
dispenser of these charities, but to the
men, women and children whose un
derpaid toll accumulated the fund
"We do not want our children to be
taught the ways nor the methods of
John D. Rockefeller or his kind; nor
to bo generous with ill-gotten gains,
nor to touch, handle or profit by gold
that should blister the Angers of the
man who hajs accumulated It by extor
tion. oppression’ and crime and in now
attempting to rid himself of it by giv
ing it away; nor to become the re
ceivers of stolen goods in the name
and under tne guise of charity.”

He was unable to give any idea as

immediately had Rev William Berg
to send for a bottle. Practically
without hope of recovery. I insisted
that she try the Alterative, which she
did. i am glad to say that she soon
began to improve. Now, she works
as hard as ever, weighs 20 pounds
