testants for the jobs.
 Whenever any concerted action is contem­plated by any number of workmen against the horrible state of affairs conducted by the fi­nancial masters then one Labor organization is set to fighting another Labor organization until both are thoroughly exhausted and subdued.
 It is the ultimate plan of the financiers to take over the control of all means of trans­por­tation and of all retail stores. This will give them control of the sale and distribution of all products and thus force out of business inde­pendent man­u­facturers who will thereby have no market for the sale of their wares.
 After the financiers have eliminated all re­tail merchants and independent man­u­fac­tur­ers they will then be in a position to not only decide upon the Laborers’ wages but will also be in a position to make everybody pay what­ever prices they might like to set upon all products bought by the people at large.
 The financiers use the Politicians as Goats. They force them to do their bidding and then double-cross them afterward. They force the Politicians to make laws to tax the people out­rageously and then in their controlled newspa­pers, magazines, pictures, radio and colleges they roast them unmercifully as being the cause of all of the people’s troubles. They nev­er mention, how­ever, that most of the taxes go to meet the tribute on money and credit that the financiers force the people to pay through heavy interest charges.

They expect, there­fore, that an aroused public will extirpate the politicians whenever they are ready for the obsequies.
 So, as they make the Politicians whip the people now, so later they will make the people whip the politicians and then when they do that the financiers will put in America their hand­picked Dictator and the American Form of Government will pass away forever.
 The financiers are also going to get rid of the Civil Police and put boys with bayonets in their places. They can hire these unmarried boys for $30.00 a month and barracks, while a married Policeman requires at least $200.00 per month to enable him to support a wife and family de­cently. They have begun to throw mud at the police all over the American Conti­nent in their newspapers, magazines, pictures and radio in order to set the people against them.
 It must be understood that the mastodon financiers are few in number and could not steal a nation unless they can stir up strife and hatred among the people and then make them whip themselves. They make them tie each other in a web so tight that
