GARFIELD ON
CORPORATIONS.
ORGANIZED I.AROH \R IMPOR
TANT IN IMH'STKIAL LIFE AH
ORGANIZED LABOR.
Buffalo. N. Y.. Oct. 11.—•‘Govern
ment Control of Corporations" was
the subject which Commissioner
/ tnes H. Garfield. of tho bureau of
cnr|K>rattona and Industries of the
department of commerce and labor,
chose for his address before the West
minister Club last night.
Mr. Garfield said that organised
labor was Just as important a part
of the industrial system as wus or
ganised capital, and that organised
labor was now goiug through the
same conditions which organised cap
ital had gone through for fifty years.
He said that he had found among
the leaders as well Hs the rank and
ftl« of organized labor, men who
represented the highest type of
American citizenship, and that be
cause now and then a dishonest or
unprincipled man was found among
them It was nnfulr to criticize all
organized labor from the same view
point.
M. Oarfleld dealt at considerable
length with the new rnte bill, which,
he said, would throw light on the
corporate interests. It is now up
to the government, he said to see
that experts are hired who will be
uble to go over the hooks of the rail
road companies—men who will be
able to trace every penny—and who
will be able to tell when a rebate is
given, no matter In what form It Is
given.
"Under this system the managers
will be afraid to give rebates." he
said. Continuing, he said the situa
tion hnd simmered down to where It
was simply a question of the govern
ment controlling the corporations or
the corporations controlling the gov
ernment.
"Rich men are good to have, hut.
above all, wre want men who have
made their money honestly and not
by financial Jugglery and deceit. We
don’t want these sort of men, even
though they do build monuments.
They ure the men who look upon
life as the seeking of more money. I
The problem of capital und labor
will not be solved by these men.”
Mr. arfleld said that the benefit
of government regulation was shown
In our national banking system. He
admitted, however that there could
bo some inprovements in that.
p It is claimed by some diamond Im
porters that one-half of the Jewels
brought into this country are smug
gled. Another estimate pluces the
annual loss to the government
thfpegh undetected smuggling at
$2,000,000.
