WHERE THE CASH
IS COMING FROM
Women Work at Night to Finanoe
Roosevelt Campaign.
A...JL FACTORY CONDITIONS
Nsw York Stata Investigating CommfV
tee Pound Pale, Worn Women Work-
Ing In Twine Manufacturing Con
cern Owned by the International
Harveater Company.
Awful conditions hare been found
by the state factory Investigating com- i
mlttee of Npw York In the mills of the
Osborn > Twine company, No. 3, at Au
burn, N. Y., owned by the Internar
tional Harvester company, of which
George W. Perkins, chief financial
backer of Theodore Roosevelt in his
scheme to ruin the Republican party,
la a director.
“The appearance of the women
workers In this plant,” said a member
of the committee, “was very dis
heartening. They were worn and
pale and their ojothes, faces and
hands were covered with oil and hemp
cloth. Many of these women, so called,
are only children In age and they have
to lug huge piles of hemp, weighing
160 pounds each, across the floor, the
load in some oases being bigger than
the women themselves. In the spin
ning room, where women are employ
ed alone, to the exclusion of men, who
would have lo receive higher wapei,
the clatter of machinery 1b so fright
ful. that a voice below a shriek cannot
ba heard. The rooms are dark, though
for no necessary cause, and no atr
tempt la made to remove the dust,
which Is kept In constant motion by
the line shaftings despite the require
ments of the law. This dust la
breathed continuously by the women,
many of whom complain of chronio
coughs and colds. The dust and dirt
are so thick upon the clothes of the
girls that at the noon hour—which in
many oases consists of but a few
minutes—and at the close of the day’a
or night's labor, the girls have to
sweep each other elean with brooms."
It la further at&ted that the custom
of working the women all night la
permanent, married women being se
lected for night work, their hours be
lng from sundown until 6:30 o'clock
In the morning. Of 400 women em
ployed In the mills, 200 work all night.
When George W. Perkins w as asked
by a New York Times reporter for an
explanation of the conditions In an
establishment of which he Is one of
the directors, he made, In part, the
following remarkable reply: “This
night work has been rendered neces
sary largely because of the govern
ment's perfectly unreasonable attitude
toward large corporations, which has
made it Impossible for managers of
large concerns to know whether they
were on foot or horseback, whether
they could expand their plans to keep
up with increasing demands or not.”
The late Mark Twain In his bright
est moments never uttered anything
more grimly humorous than the fore
going explanation by George \V. Per
kins of why the company of which he
la a director Is working women all
night under the frightful conditions
disclosed by the New York state fao
tory Investigating committee.
Meantime it ought to be of Interest
to millions of Republicans throughout
the United States to kno- where the j
money comes from to finance Theo- «
dore Roosevelt in his campaign of
“rule or ruin.”
ROOSEVELT WRONG AGAIN
Makes Another Statement Which Is
Absolutely False.
Colonel Roosevelt really has a great
many things to his credit, and this
makes it nil the more strange that he
should Insist upon claiming credit to
which he has no shadow of title
There is the pure food law for ex
ample. It Is notorious that this w.,p
one of the measures In which he had
but little interest. It is doubtful if ho
ever so much as mentioned the sub
ject to any member of congress while
the bill was pending, and It is entirely
certain that It would have passed,
even If he had actively opposed It. so
nearly unanimous was the sentiment
In congress in favor of It. And yet in
a recent letter to a man In Kansas
Colonel Roosevelt said that “the pure
food and drug bill became r law pure
ly because of the very active part I
took In getting it through congress.”
and adding that after gentlemen such
as Mr. Wiley had vainly urged the bill
he used men like Mr. Garfield, then
secretaray of the interior, and got It
through.
But the truth is that Mr. Garfield
was not appointed secretary of the In
terior until six months after the bill
was passed!

PHIL H. BROWN.
Another Untruth Exposed.
From the Carrolton (Mo.) Record:
President Taft never vetoed a gen
eral pension bill. The fellows who are
circulating reports to the contrary are
either Ignorant or desire to wilfully
und maliciously misrepresent. It
pays to tell the truth In politics, as
well as in business.
Both Mistreated by Roosevelt.
From the Kansas City Journal:
Taft and La Follette may not have
any very high admiration for each
other, but there Is one bond of sym
pathy between them. They were both I
outrageously mistreated by the same I
man. I
Expect Taft’s Election.
From the Kansas City (Mo.) Jour
nal:
There appears to the conservative
Republican no good reason why the
campaign of 1912 should not result In
the re-election of William H. Taft
A Pretext.
"Yes,” said the determined looking
woman; “I might manage to hand you
a bite to eat If you’ll saw and chop a
good pile of stove wood and bring in
a few buckets of water and chop the
weeds out of the garden and fix up
the fence.”
“Lady,” replied Meandering Mike,
“I’m only a hungry wayfarer; I ain't
yer husband.”
Something New.
“Running-for office, 1 see."
"Yep.”
“Forced Into It by your friends, eh?”
“Nope.”
“Answered the party call, then?’
“Nix. I’m after the office solely for
:he salary attached, and if I’m elected
I’ll try to get all my relations jobs.”
“Well, on the frankness of that
statement 1 propose to vote for you.”
