such artificial methods to delay a
serious depression overwhelming the
country are the strained investments
in the railway and building industries
now being made by certain capital
lists.
The reactionary Coolidge admini-
stration viii do everything possible to
avoid the country's being thrown into
economic crisis before the November
elections. Coolidge is continually
comforting with the leaders Of En-
ployers' Associations and Chamber Of
Commerce to impress upon them the
Importance of their being lenient with
creditors and of their continuing
heavy investments. The recently an
nounced program Of new railway con-
struction totaling nearly $2,000,000,-

fuence. The same may be said for
the last extra dividend of the United
States Steel Corporation. The

made to prop up certain second class
banks in the agricultural areas of the
Northwest also falls in this category
of artificial attempts to give new
blood to our respiratory organs of
our system of production and ex-
change.

key positions in the government.
With the agricultural crisis steadily

crisis looming up on the horizon many
reactionary political leaders are be-

shoes and dry goods went down badly
in December. The retail trade which
usually shows large increase in the
Christmas season did not show so big
rise this year.
In the four weeks following Christ
mas, the earning assets of the various
Federal Reserve Banks declined by
$500, 100000. This fall was greater
by about $3.50, 100000 than in the
between December 18th, and January
18th, 'to a point 1864, 0OO, 900 lower

These straws on the back of our

export our surplus produce at prices
sufficiently profitable to our capital

producing power. Hence the general

IN THE great emphasis that many
4 are now putting on the acuteness
of the agricultural situation there is
a danger that the developing indus
trial crisis may be overlooked.
1t is true the collapse of agricul-
ture has been so phenomenal and on
such mass scale that one naturally
tends to fall into the groove of for
getfulness and disregard, momentarily
of course, the growing depression en-
veloping our basic industries, other
than agriculture.
Our Cloudy Business Skies
Business is beginning to taper OFF.
Our business horizon is far from be-
ing clOudless. Slowly but surely,
thickly-gathered storm is threatening
to swoop down upon the millions of
industrial working masses.
The latest summary of the general
business and financial conditions in
the country made by the Federal Re
serve Board is a veritable eye-opener.
It once and for all dispells the myriad
Of fake prosperity rumors and opti-
mistic outbursts that the bankers
have so assiduously spread in the last
six months.
In December, the production of
basic commodities has shown furth-
er decline. The index of production
in the basic industries has reached the
low point of the year, declining as
much as four per cent within the
month. Operations were greatly re-
duced in the cotton, wooden. lumber,
petroleum and sugar industries. The
consumption of cotton by textile
mills, according to the latest figures
of the Department of Commerce, fell
by almost 5000 bales in one month.
Relative to 1913, the production of
bituminous coal fell from lit in De-
cember, 1922, to 101 in the CORES
ponding month Of 1928.
The production of merchant pig
iron, the untitled iron and steel orders,
the production of lead, and the manu-
facture Of leather have all shown a
marked decrease in December.
Increasing Unemployment and
Depression
The Federal Reserves index of en-
ployment also showed a decrease in
December. The fall in the number
Of workers employed indicated a
further decline of one per cent in the
month and was four per cent lower
than in the Spring The workingmen
engaged in the manufacture Of food
products and railway equipment were
the heaviest sufferers. In the month
Of December, the Pennsylvania Rail
road discharged 1850 shop craft
workers alone. Today, this railroad
has approximately $4,000 of these
workers less than it did a year ago.
The building contracts awarded in
December, were also smaller than in
November.
Railroad shipments continued to
fall in December and reached point
slightly lower than in December,
1922. The loadings of coal and grain
were also smaller than last year.
This Federal Reserve Board Report
goes on to say: ''The volume of whole
sale trade showed more than the usual
seasonal decrease and was at about
the same level as a year ago." This
Is a significant conclusion, for it in
dicates that business is definitely
Tightening up and that caution and
preparedness are getting the better
Of unfounded optimism. The sale of
