After lunch the convention . recon vened and the committees on creden tials and platform filed their reports, which were adopted- The platform, as adopted, reads: --i "We approve our unfaltering adher ence to principle, and. the program of International Socialism by the ballot. "In presenting our candidate Tor Congress to the working class voters of ' the First Congressional District we base our appeal upon the following de clarations as our platform of principles: "1. Labor produces wealth. "2, Under the'present economic and polltI-al conditions, labor's share in the wealth which It create Is merely a mean and uncertain subsistence. X So long as the present,, organiza tion of industry remains the .capitalist ciaM will monopolize the machines of production and Will appropriate through the wage system, the wealth.' created by theworking.ciaa , i, , t.,; . ,-t . "4. This appropriation, of. , labors wealth by the capitalist I so complete that it envies theWtd'Hve n luxury' and idleness.- '- ! r ' ' B. As: a neceesary-t consequence - of this exploitation, of the laborers by the capitalists thU expropriation ltpf t all property out'of the hands of the Rollers Into the private ownership" 'of the hold ers of espttAV there'is ,aW'lhTltaMe war between the Interests of the' work log class, on the, pne. band and the hi ferests of the. capitalist class on the other.' . ,: - ,;. "tf, This class" struggle between the wealth-makers end the' wealth-takers will endure so long as our present sys tern of production for profit continues. . "7. In this conflict between the work ers and the capitalists, labor Is disarm ed on the economic. side, all the Instru ments of producing and distributing wealth being owned .and, controlled by the holders of capital, j "It. There Is only one weapon with which the working class can successful ly oppose the capitalistic system and that Is th ballot. , !..-.. -. "9. This fact demands as anaevlta Trl conclusion the organization of the working class Into ai political party that shall b.' everywhere and always, distinct from and opposed to every po litical party not founded entirely open th Interests of the working class. The Socialist party Is organized to meet the demand, and fa therefore the' party of the working class. . "10. The Socialist party, when In of fice, shall always and, every where, .until the present system of wage-slavery Is Utterly abolished, make the answer toj this question Its guiding rule of con duct. 'Will this legislation, advance the interests of the working class and aid the workers In their struggle against capitalism? If It does, the So cialist party Is for It; If It does not, the Socialist party Is absolutely opposed to It- '-'. f ' -vi ; - . "11. That we emphatically and for ever oppose and condemn the Idea of fusion with either of the old parties, or any other party, and believe in stand ing out independently and fighting our kittles on the line of Socialism. "12. In conclusion,! we appeal to all workingmen to study the principles of Socialism, to ote with their class at all elections 'until they overthrow the" power of capitalism., abolish industriaj classes In society. terminate forever the class stnjggt and Inaugurate the co-operative commonwealth based upon this fundamental principle f Justice: "To every worker the full product of his labor." . h , .

The ladies have worked faithfully ad well to build up this home for the good of humanity. and success Is certainly due thenv ! - ' - ; : ; '" THE TRUSTS ' v. ; BY ROOSEVELT f Continued from Pare 2- and facilities were, granted-, favored shippers by the railroads nd that these iscriminaUons clearly tended toward the control of production and prices in many fields of business; by large com binations. That this conclusion F was justifiable was shown by the disclosures in the investigation of railroad methods pursued in the fall and winter of 1901 1902, It was then shown that certain trunk lines had entered Into -unlawful agreements as to the transportation of food products from the West to the At lantic- seaboard, giving a, few favored snipers rates much " below' the tariff charges imposed upon the smaller deal ers and the general public Thse un just practices had prevailed to such an extent and for so long a time that mrny of the smaller dealers had been driven out of business, until practically one buyer of grain on each railway system had been able by his Illegal advantages to secure a monopoly on the line with which his secret compact : was made; this monopoly enabling him to fix -the price to both producer and consumer. Many of the great packing bouse -concerns were shown to be in combination with each other and with most of the great railway lines, whereby they en joyed large secret concessions In rates and thus obtained a practical monop oly of the fresh and cured meat indus try of the country. . These fusions, al though violative of the statutes, bad prevailed unchecked for so many years that they had become intrenched In and Interwoven with the commercial , life of certain large distributing localities; although this was of course at the ex pense of the vast body of law-abiding merchants, the general public, and par ticularly of unfavored localities. " "Under those circumstances It was a serious ; probleht to determine the wise course to follow- In vitalizing a law which had In part. beeome -obsoiHe or proved incapable of enforcement. . Of what the Attorney, uenerai ita in en forcing it I.shalt speak later." The de cisions of the courts-aport the law had betrayed weaknesses and Imperfections, some of them so serious as to rende abortive efforts to apply . any effective remedy for the existing evils. It Is clear that corporations created for quasi public purposes, clothed for that reason with the ultimate power of the 1 state to take private j-roperty against the will of he owner. lold their corporate power as carters in trust for the fairly impartial service of nil the public. Favoritism in the use of such powers, unjustly enriching tome and unjustly impoverishing other, discrim inating In favor of some places "and against others, is palpably yiplative of plain principles of justice. Such a practice unchecked is hurtful In many ways. Congress, having had i0 OtlepT tion drawn to the matter, enacted a most important anti-rebate law, which greatly strengthens, the Jnterstate-cpm-merce law. This, new, aw 'phj.l'fs unf 'der adequate penalties the giving a well the demanding or receiving. pi sun pref ereheeaand . provides .the prevent-:,; ive -rertelv-jDL. injunction, i.ne,visor- ous administration of this law, andif. will be enforced, will, ltis hoped, aiorfl a-5 substantial,,reuiedy for. certain, tfo. eyns' Whicbdftaj-e attractea po.Diic..ai- atl f'rr - " . . ' "This law. represents , a, , potewortny and important advance toward just, and effective regulation of ? transportatioh. Moreover, it passage has been, supple mented by Ihe enactment of . a. Jaw, to expedite thev hearing of actions of pub lic moment under. the j apti -trust act. known as the Sherman law, and under the act to regulate commerce, at the -re quest of the Attorney Oeneral; and, furthermore, additional " (uiMs have been appropriated-to be expended un der the direction of the Attorney Gen eral in the enforcement of these laws. All of this represents a great and substantial advance In legislation. But more Important even than legislation is the administration of the law. and I ask your attention for a moment to the way in which the law has been administer ed by the profound jurist and fearless public servant who, now occupies the position of Attorney General, Mr. Knox. The Constitutions enjoins upon , the President that, he shall take care that the . laws be f althf ullsr; executed,, and under this provision. thp, Attorney Gen-, eral formulated a policy which was in effect nothing but the rjgld enforcement by ' suits managed with consummate skill .and ability, both of the anti-trust law and' of the imperfect provisions of the act to regulate commerce. Thefirst step taken was the prosecution of four teen suits against tne principal .rail roads of the Middle West;'" restraining them by' Injunction from further- viola tions of either of the laws In question. "About the same time the case against the Northern1 Securities Com nanv was initiated. This was a cor poration organized under the laws of the State or New jersey, witn a' cap ital of four hundred million dollars, the alleged purpose, being to control the Great Northern and the Northern Pa cific Railroad Companies, two parallel and competing lines extending across the northern tier of states from the Mississippi river to the Pacific Ocean. Whatever the purpose, its consumma tion would have resulted In the control of the two great railway systems upon which the peopls of the Northwestern States, were so largely dependent for their supplies and to get their products to market being ; practically merged into the New Jersey corporation. The proposition that these independent sys tems of railroads should be merged uh der a tingle control alarmed the people of the states' concerned, lest they be subjected to what they deemed a mon opoly 'of interstate transportation and the suppression of com petit ion. xne Governors of the states not deeply affected held a meeting to consider how to nrevent the merger becoming effec tive and passed resolutions calling upon the National Government to en rm the antl -trust laws against, the alleged combinations rwhen these res olutions were-referred to the Attorney General for consideration and advice. he reported that In his opinion the Northern Securities Company and Its control of the railroads mentioned was a combination in restraint of trade and was attempting a monopoly in viola tion of the National ' anti-trust law. ThereuDon a suit in equity, which Is now pending, was begun by the Gov ernment to test the validity of this transaction under the Sherman law. , "At nearly the same time the dis. closures respecting the secret rebates niovod bt the create packing house companies, coupled with the very high price of 4neata-Jed thsr lAterney Gen-1 eral to direct an Investigation into the ' methods of the so-called beef trust;- The result was that he filed bills for in junction, against six of the principal packing bouse companies, and restrain ed them from, combining and agreeing upon prices at wh'ch they would sell their-: products in states ; other than those in. which their meats were pre pared for market. Writs of injunction were Issued accordingly, and since then after full argument, the United States Circuit Court has made the lnjution perpetual. . "The cotton Interests of the South, Including growers, buyers and shippers, made complaint that they -were suffering- great injury in their business from the. methods, of -the Southern, railroads in the handling- and transportation of cotton- They alleged '- that, these Tail roads by1 combined action under pool ing' arangement to support their ; rate schedules, had denied to the shippers the right to elect over what roads their commodities should be shipped, and that by dividing upon a fixed basis the cotton crop of the South 'all Inducement to compete tn rates - for -the transpor tation thereof was- eliminated,' Pro ceedings were instituted by. the Attor ney General under the anti-trust law, which resulted in the destruction of the pool and In restoring to the grow ers and shippers of the South the right to ship their products .over . any road they elected,1' thus removing the re straint upon the freedom of commerce. "In ; November.' 1902, the Attorney General directed - that a bill for an in junction be filed la the UnKed States Circuit Court at San Francisco against the Federal Salt Company a corpora tion which had been organized ' under the" laws of an Eastern state, but had its. main, office and principal place of business in California and against a number-of Other companies and per sons constituting ' What was ' known as the salt trust- 'These injunctions were to restrain', the execution. of certain contracts between. . the , Federal - Salt Company- and the other defendants, by whYch the latter agreed neither to im port, buy. or sell salt.' except from and to 4he; Federal. Salt .Company, .and not to engage. or(assist in the . production of salt west of the Mississippi river during the continuance of" such, con tracts. 'Air'the result of fthese agree ments the price of sal, had been ad vanoed about four hundred per cent. A temporary injunction order was ob tained, which the defendants asked the court to modify on the ground that the antitrust law haa no application to contracts for purchases and sales with in a state. The Circuit Court overrul ed this contention and sustained the Government's position. This practic- i ally concluded the case, and It is un- j derstood that .in consequence the Fed- I eral Salt Company is about to be dis- j solved and that no further contest will j be made. , '-' .
