Car negio, Morgan and Rockefollcr, three of tho great monoy kings of the world, today stand branded as "rob bers" and their millions as "ill-got ten," in n speech dolivered by Jo scph rels, the i'mindelpma soup manufacturer, who places himself in the same class with the financiers he castigates. "Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan and other captains of industry are robbers and their millions are ill- gotten gains. We cannot get rich fast enough nowadays without rob bing tho public. I admit that I, too, have robbed "the public, and I am still doing it, but I propose to spend the accursed money in wiping out the system by which I made it." Fels further remarked that he would spend his life and fortune to the eradication of the system where by he and the three mentioned men made their colossal wealth. "John D. Rockefeller," ho contin ued, "is a mild, harmless man with a mistaken ideal: But, personally hon est, none the less, ho is a robber. "Rockefeller and other million aires have accumulated their wealth through unjust laws, and especially under the tariff's protection, nnd be cause of these laws, I, too, have robbed the public, and am still rob bing it. I am not responsible for these laws, but am doing and intend to do what I can to change them." 'How are you getting rid of your 'robber wealth'" Fels was asked. 'Tor one thing," he replied, "T am interested in spreading the single tax propaganda throughout the world. The movement is active in the United States, England. Canada, South Australia, New Zealand, New South Wales, Denmark, Sweden and other nations." Fels' address was made to guests seated at a dinner at the University of Chicago settlement.
