Washington, Aug. -.-"Geo.
W. Perkins in chair., This quo
tation does riot refer to Mr. Per
kins' presence in the chair at the
Chicago Moosefelt convention.
The quotation is taken from the
minutes of a meeting of the fin

held April 5, 1904, at which it
was decided that subsidiary coin-

Lee page 108 Stanley
Steel report.
This is only one of the revela-
tions contained in the report of
the Stanley Steel Trust Investi
gating Committee, one of the
most able and remarkable docu
ments of this decade.
The Stanley report, in addition
to indicting former President
Roosevelt for permitting the trust
to obtain absolute domination of
the steel industry,- reveals beyond
successful contradiction how Geo.
W. Perkins came into possession
of the colossal fortune that he is
now spending to finance the
Roosevelt third term movement.
Sources of Perkins Millicrs.
Here is the story oKPeiki.as
wealth: To. start with Mr. Perkins
made some of his millions by cap
halizing thin blue air into millions
of dollars of real money.
He made more millions by get
tir.g a monopoly of wire nail man
ufacturing plants and forcing the
American farmers M pav $3.20 o
keg for wire nails that were sold
before the organization of the
trust" for from $1.25 to $1.50 a
keg. (See page 8 Stanley re
port.) Then"he made more millions by
forcing the thousands of workers
in the blast furnaces of his steel
mills to work 12 hours a- day,
seven days a week, 365 days a
year.
As a postscript to the above in
formation, the following history
of Mr. Perkins may be of interest
to many at this time:
Mr. Perkins was the chief aide
and co-schemer of J, Pierpont
Morgan while the latter was in
the years between 1900 and 1911 1
throttling business in every direc
tion. It was Perkins who as
Morgan's business partner show
ed Morgan how to dominate the
boards of directors of all the great
railroads, banks and tru3t compa
nies, express, telephone aqd tele
graph companies, steamship lines
and insurance companies, and all
the great industrial trusts, to the
end that Morgan now hss a stram
gle hold on a corporate wealth of
over $35,000,000,000, an amount
equal to one third of the wealth of
the nation.
