PBOSfEH I UffIE 61 COLOM m Good Old Days When George W. and Morgan Used Treasury for Promoting Panics. RIOT AND SOUPHOUSE TIMES Official Record of What Happened During Roosevelt's Reign, as Told In Associated Press Dispatches Published In 1908. I he Nation is Out of War 1 he State is Out of Debt The Democrats Did It! By WILLIS S. THOMPSON. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 2.—Here is a brief but sad story of human suffering and privation which fallowed the Wall street manufactured panic of 1907. J. P. Morgan and George Perkins made the panic and gobbled up the Tennessee Iron and Coal properties in violation of the lew and by permission of President Roosevelt, guaranteeing immunity from prosecution. They got the use of $42,000,000 of government money, through Roosevelt, to swing this deal and crush other Wall street gamblers, whom they did not care to see survive! The loan of government funds without interest -and for use as a private gambling stake was kept secret for five years and until Congress conducted an investigation. When Morgan and Perkins finished this crusade by use of government funds and presidential protection from prosecution, here is what happened as told in Associated Press dispatches at the time. Jan. 28, 1908—More than 2,000 men march to the City Hall at Detroit and demand work. Feb. 10, 1908—Labor unions report 50,000 idle men in the Kensington (Pa.) district. Feb. 11, 1908—Chicago Federation of Labor estimates the total number of unemployed men in Chicago at 100,000 and issues a warning to all craftsmen to keep away from the city. Feb. 20, 1908—One thousand foreigners march toward Philadelphia City Hall, demanding work; a riot, three policemen shot; fourteen marchers arrested; hundreds beaten by mounted police. March 15, 1908—New York city government urged by Central Federated Labor Union to let subway contracts to furnish work for 500,000 unemployed men. March 20, 1908—More than 200 Bulgarians petition Governor of Colorado for employment or for aid to return to Bulgaria. March 23, 1908 —Unemployed in San Francisco form a league and demand the issue of $23,000,000 in bonds to aid unemployed. March-23, 1908—One hundred thousand men march through the "streets of New York singing the “Marseillaise;” speakers preach revolution and demand work; a bomb thrown at police by Anarchists. March 23, 1908 — One thousand Hungarians march through the rain to receive a loaf of bread each at Toledo. March 1-5, 1908—Loan of $9,000,000 to provide funds for public work asked by city of Philadelphia for unemployed; race riot followed demonstration of unemployed; Italian at; tacked by other nationalities. Aug. 10, 1908 —At Camden, N. J., a riot follows application of 1,500 men for 300 jobs advertised by the Joseph Campbe’l Company. In addressing the Progressive convention at Indianapolis, March 14, 1912, Senator Albert J. Beveridge said, in describing the Taft administration: “For three years business has been growing worse. It is true we should make it grow better. Business, peace and prosperity mean more than any man’s political fortunes,” That brings us to the administration of Woodrow Wilson and a Democratic Congress which passed more progressive and constructive legislation than any half dozen administrations preceding in the nations history. Look at the result in 1916. Wages have been increasing since March, 1913, when Woodrow Wilson became President. He had passed a panicproof currency and banking law. Mr. Hughes complains because Mr. Wilson got the best bankers and business men of the country to come to Washington and assist Congress in framing the provisions of the law. In 1916 more men are employed at higher wages than ever before in the history of the country. More money was paid in wages in 1916 over 1915 by $3,466,500,000. Much of this was in wage increases. In Wilson’s three years bank deposits increased $5,985,164,675. In Roosevelt’s four years national bank deposits increased $-761,000,000. In Taft’s four years they increased $1,081,000,000. In Wilson’s three years they increased $2,908,000,000. The bank clearings during 1916 under Wilson will exceed those during Taft’s last year by $66,000,000,0000.
