In order that dividends may be

are forced to work 12 hours a day,
seven'days a week!

Immediately upon the organiration

one-third! And nails, shoot iron and

Do the^American people have such
a thick growth of wool over their
eyeB that they will believe that any

about by Morgan for "the interests

What Is Money Trust?
