BIG GRAB CABAL
SPREADS ITS WEB
OVER COUNTRY
Oklahoma City July 15 — There
can be little doubt that “Big Busi-
ness’ is organizinz in this country as
ntwer before The national chamber
of commerce which brought such
powerful influence upon the presi-:
dent as to cause him to recommend
the sidetracking of -the bonus bill
now is arranging to spread its ten-
tacles in every states in the union
by the organizing in each of a
“state chamber of commerce”
Oklahoma once had one of these
the efforts of which were put for-
ward to defeat everything in the
state laws that was in the interest
of the general public It was the
tool of special interest and did its
work well Part of its program was
an unsuccessful effort to repeal sec-
tion 9 article 9 of the state con-
stitution It was the agent of the
big corporations and franchise in-
stitutions of the state
Following the war one of the first
things done by the national big bus-
iness organization was to place Wall
street servants in charge of the vet-
erans’ organizations This was pret-
ty thoroughly accomplished will:
the rebult that anyone who raised his
voice against profiteering or big
graft was immediately denominated
a traitor bolshevik or anarchist
was denounced as un-American and
patriotic organizations put on his
trail It was a diversion to with-J
draw attention from what actually
was going on in big circles -
The proposed defeat of the bonus
bill is opening the eyes of the war
veterans they alBO have come to a
perfect understanding with the
union workers’ organizations of the
country but yet realize the fact that
the national chamber of commerce
representing predatory interests is
today actually in charge of the gov-
ernment Recently a former state senator in
Oklahoma was asked why the oil
men did not organize and interest
the people in a general protest
against the Standard Oil monopoly
“What would be the use?” he
queried in reply “Standard now is
the government If you don’t be-
lieve it watch tho government’s Mex-
ican policy Moreover the United
States treasury department now ts
controlled by a man said to be weal-
thier than John 'D Rockefeller a
man of vast oil interests and identi-
fied with thJ great financial inter-
ests from which the people of this
country should be protected So
Just now what’s the use?”
The same' speaker said that busi-
ness men or business concerns that
desired to deal fairly with the pub-
lic were unable to do so in many In-
stances for the reason that If they
incurred the antagonism of the
“power behind tho throne” they
would find their credit disappearing
and their operations declining from
Blow strangulation
Many men of serious mind today
are looking to the farmers’ organiza-
tions and union labor as the only
protection from the piratical Rttacks
being made by big business free-
booters upon tha general public It
