-DIFFICULT TO BULLDOZE. THEM
THIS VEAR
Walter Wellman, writing to- the Chi
cago Record-Herald from .Cincinnati, O.,
says:
"It; is significant that the republican
managers are endeavoring to induce em
ployers to bring pressure upon their men,
as was done in 1S96 very effectively and
to a lesser extent in 1900. But it is
admitted these tactics do not work as
well now. In the first place, employ
ers are not much disposed to exert them
selves. Most of them are opposed to
Bryan, and some of them think his elec
tion would be bad for business, but few
of them are intense about it or care to
incur the ill will of their men by trying
to coerce or frighten them. , In the sec
ond place, labor 'won't stand-for it.' In
the words of one factory manager, 'that
has played out.'
1 ''Here in Cincinnati was a case I
know of. The owner of a shop called in
his foreman and said to him:!
' "'Sullivan, I think it only fair to
'tell you 'that-if Bryan is 'elected this
shop "will be closed the 4th of November.
I am a-little ahead of the game,' and will
keep What I have and shut;doWn rather
than' risk my profits in-the Bryan diill
v times. 'Now, how are you1 going to vote?'
' ' w .pbr -Bryan,' replied 'Fdrtafah Sulli
van, t'and :so will most of the 18$ men' in
the shop.'"

MR. ROOSEVELT'S FRIEND AS'A'
-' '. ' WJTNESS ' ".
Following is an extract from an ed
itorial printed in the August, i908,
numbi: (page .140) ,of.the .Review of
r Rey'iewp, The litor , of this magazine
is Albert Shaw, an intimate,, personal
friend of Theodore Roosevelt. , In this
editorial Mr. Shaw says:
"It has been supposed that a western
business man would be made treasurer
of the republican committee, but Mr.
(George R. Sheldon was finally chosen.
Mr. Sheldon has acted as treasurer in
New York state cairfpaigns, and belongs
as typically as possible to thei. corpora
tions' and Wall Street elements. If it
was desired to avoid the impression of
any relationship "whatever with those
particular factors in the business com
munity, Mr. Sheldon's appointment could
not be regarded as tactful. His business
address is 2 Wall Street, and his name in
the "Directory of Directors" shows him
-to be connected with a long' list of cor
porations of a sort which many people
call 'trusts.' ".

THE STARCH TRUST
The National Starch company and the Corn
Products Refining company, which together form
the starch, trust, in an advertisement in the New
York newspapers (January, 1907) announcing
an issue of bonds to retire other bonds, says:
"Of the many active and well-maintained
starch plants throughout the United States
which constituted the original security for the
payment of your bonds, only two are now in
operation, The remainder, having been idle for
several years, are dismantled, uninsured and rap
idly, deteriorating, so that without attention they
will soon become valueless for faqtpry purposes.
It was-Secretary Shaw who said "a protec
tive , tar iff i Knot the mother ojf. trusts, though
It Is ,the sP.arent of a conditioiUithat makes it
.profitable for capital to combing" ,k
