OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Wall street
appears to have decided on policy
of deflation and the word has gone
forth through the treasury department
and the federal reserve board that
the time has arrived to call in specu
lative loans.
One of the biggest clothing manu-.
facturers in the country has agreed
with retailers handling his product
that he will take "a loss" of SIP tc
$50 on mems suits which they order.
ed early in the season. Otherwise, as
he is quite we'll aware, a large part
of his orders will be cancelled. He
finds that he can not borrow money
on orders placed and hence must col.
lect it,

j., and other centers are in like sit.
uation. In fact, it would appear that
now all the secondary manufa cturers
are facing a critical period, and labor
is in an even more critical situation
because labor without employment
must starve.
The defation move appears to be
carried far beyond what the legitimate
business warrants. Since the federal
reserve system is based on gold, the
gold which we have had to export Il
South America and the Far East has
reduced our available reserve and sc
forced some contraction of credits. But
the deflation of credit is being carried
far beyond what our loss through gold
exports would warrant. For explana
ton we must rather look to the great
advantages which Wall street can OBJ
tain by driving the small fry to the
wall or near to it. The credit of the
trusts will always be good at the banks
and hence they will be able to hold
their products for the high prices end
to gobble up the profits or the bust
| ness Of the little fellows"
"OVERPRODUCTl NOW.
The present situation also throw:
into bold relief the lying propaganda
of the large interests of the last year
We have been told that what the
country needed for salvation was pro
preventing the necessary production
was lazy labor. 1t now appears thai
labor has worked so we'll that tho
| production in far ahead of what the
country can consume at trust prices
that as a result many thousands CT

sumed. Again, the over-productior
propaganda was probably framed tt
| get small business to over-extend it
| self so that the financial pirates would
| have this business at their mere,
when the dehation was ordered.
AS for the farmers, the suspens ;ol
of SO much city industry means tha
the goods they want will cost mort
and that labor, which constitutes tho
| farmers market, will not be able tt
buy SO well. AS producers the farm
| ers will be among the first to fee
the squeeze of the defation policy

livering them to the market sp~cula

RAILWAY DEFICITS,

Government control Of the railroads
lasted &c months, during which time
we transported vast number of SOL
diers and vast amounts of munitions
of war. The deficit allowed for the
whole 26 months is approximately 900
millions.
With regard to what has happened
since March 1, when private opera
ton was restored, Labor, the official
paper of the railroad brotherhoods,
says:
''The direct guarantee will cost tn,
government between $500,00OOO0 and
$500, 100000 for the period between
March l, 1920, when the roads went
back to private ownership, and Sep
TENDER l, 1920. At that rate the total
deficit for the first year of private
ownership will be somewhere between
$1,O0O,0 100000 and ,20O,0OO,00O
"Thus the prediction made by In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Rob-
ert w. Woolley that one year of pri-
vate ownership wou1d-cost the peorle
of the country more than 26 months
of federal control is more than sus-
tained''
After September 1, when the gov
eminent ceased to make good guar
| antees from the public treasury, the
deficits will be met by higher and
higher rates.
GUNNER WHlTEWASHED.
The commission appointed by Gov
ernor Cornwall of West Virginia to

| Yates armies operating in West Vir-
ginia has whitewashed the criminal
! activities of the coal operators.
One of the points brought out at
the hearing and admitted by the COM
mission was that the Logan Coal
| Operators association pays the sher-
if of Logan county sum of money
each month to pay certain deputies ~
a practice directly contrary to the
West Virginia legal code Nothing
was done about the matter except to
admit weakly that '*this practice is
condemned by the commission" -
