Morgan's having retired from tho firm. Nevertheless he is still ft director in the International Harvester and other trusts. Mr. Roosevelt in his speech of August 17, said: "Mr. PcrklUs Is a rich mnu, He enmo Into my movement on his own Initiative. I have known him for fourteen years, ami when lie Joined mo 1 asked lilm, Why aro you supporting mo? "He said tho primary reason was because ho had children. Ho had all tho money ho wanted, ho Raid, and had comn to tho conclusion that this country won't ho a Reed place to llvo In when his children hceonio the ago o aro unless business and government aro brought Into proper relations, unless the relations of capital and the wage earner aro placed on a better basis." Mr. Perkins in his statement of August 20, said: "Money Is not all In this life. The more accumulation of wealth will not bring an honorable horltngo to my only son. Is thoro not sotuuthlng moro than the Incentive to make money which l can leave mini" The inferenco is that Mr. Perkins, having amassed all the money ho wants, is devoting his life to altruistic movements 'benefitting humanity, and has therefore entered the Roosevelt party as the party of promise to improve conditions. ' A report has just been made public by the New York state factory investigating committee, headed by Senator Robert F. Wagner, which discloses deplorable conditions m the factories m New York, among them, the factories owned by the Harvester trust at Auburn, N. Y., the mills of the Osborne Twine Companv. It is a recital of tears misery, of enforced slavery, of unsanitary conditions, of twelve hour slnits, of all night labor and pituuliy small wages. Four hundred women are employed, two hundred work all night. Seven dollars per week is the highest wage paid for all night labor. Married women are selected for the night shift. The father of the familv gets tin average wage of $8 a week and it the entire tannly to support "The appearance of the women workers In this plant was very dis heartening. They were worn and pnle, and their clothes, faces and hands were covered with oil nnd hemp cloth. Many of these women, so called, aro only children In age. and they have to lug huge piles of hemp. Weighing 1C0 pounds each, across the floor, the load in some cases being bigger than the women themselves. "In the spinning room, where women aro employed alone, to the ex clusion of .men. who would have to receive higher wages, the clatter of ma chinery Is so frightful that a voice below a shriek cannot be heard. Tho rooms arc dark, though for no necessary cause, and no attempt Is made to remove the dust, which Is kept In constant motion by the line shaftings, despite tho requirement of tho law. This dust Is breathed continuously by the women, many of whom complain of chronic coughs and colds. The dust and dirt are so thick upon the clothes of the girls that at tho noon hour, which In many cases consists of but a few minutes, and at the close of the day's or night's labor, the girls have to sweep each other clean with brooms. From the foregoing, there tunity for Mr. Perkins to humanity in the concern in which he is a director. Altruism should begin at home. It is not necessary for trust magnates to organize new political parties to improve the condition of hiiinauity. If they mean what they promise, a reform in their own factories would be an earnest of their intentions. Let Mr. Perkins put in effect the eight-hour day, the safety appliances, the healthful conditions, the minimum wage scale advocated by the progressive platform in the A'arious mills he controls before posing as a humanitarian. Let him put his own house in order before reforming the world. PARCELS POST LAW . WORKING BY JANUARY WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.
