Trusts and Labor Benefit From Capital Combinations
P B Thurber testifies before the industrial commission on trusts tracing origins to railroad consolidation and standard oil. He argues overall public benefit, stronger labor profits, and intensified competition that squeezes profits to favor consumers and smaller makers, with examples from sugar and coffee industries and Arbuckle Brothers. Graves notes Bryan’s rising strength in Missouri and the South, predicting a likely nomination as the South focuses on wealth and resources for national growth.
