Show Richard Croker is still a power in New York politics. Just four days before election, the New York papers had this from him: "I hope the workingmen's organizations will work together and not be misled by wild talks of trusts. The working-men's working-men's organizations are themselves combines and trusts. Tammany is not in favor of trusts. I oppose trusts which would injure the public, but I am in favor of workingmen standing by their employers and encouraging capital to develop and extend labor. If Mr." Hearst wins and carries out his ideas he will paralyze labor by . forcing capitalists to invest . in bonds and stoclfi instead of labor." |
