They say, "Down with the trusts! Do away with money. Make everything equal."
Imagine a fellow going into a jewelry store and saying:
"Give me a diamond ring, here's a lemon."
But the socialists have got some good ideas for the working people. And my heart and soul is with the labor class of people. I am for labor unions.
But what help are the labor unions to the working man?
Look at it in the right light.
A man pays twenty-five dollars to join a union. He gets a job in a shop for two dollars a day, works two weeks, the union gets out on a strike and he owes himself a dollar.
The unions are crying the days are too long.
They want the days shorter. They want the days should be eight hours long.
But think of the fellows out in the North Pole where the days are six months long. That's the place for the poor man to live.
