many cases to their death.
On one side of the coin are shown
the profles of Admiral Coligny Of
France and William the Silent of Hol-
land. Admiral Coligny was shot twice
and badly wounded two days before
the great body of Protestants were
killed on the night of st. Batholo-
news day, Aug. "a, 1872. On the
might of st. Bartholomew the house
where the admiral was lying wounded
was entered and he was put to the
sword. The corpse was given up for
three days to the fury of the people,
and finally was hung up by the feet
On a gibbet.
French Now Honor coIigny.
In Paris there is a church on the
Rue de Rivoli which has in its YARD
focing the Louvre a statue of Coligny.
The French today do honor to the man
whom their ancestors murdered.
The statue of Coligny from its ped
estal faces directly the window In
the Louvre from which, history re-
cords, Charles TX fired the shot which
was the second signal for the massa-
ere to begin The first signal was the
note of a bell from church which
sill stands about two blocks from the
place where Coligny stands In stone,
Virtually all the Huguenets IN
France were compelled to emigrate
during the years which followed that
st. Bartholomew day. The revocation
Of the edict of Nantes which had CIV
en- them protection was signal for
renewed persecution and for enforced
emigration.
Many of the Huguenots came to
America. New Rochelle, n. Y, was
founded by small colony of them.
Others went to what is now New York
city, and many others went to the
Carolinas. There is Huguenot
church in Charleston. where the old
time services still are conducted.
Some Of the best South Carolina fam
lilies are descendants of the Huguenots
the Laniers, the Gaillards, the de
Resets, the Ravenels and many others.
Chancey M Depew of New York, is a
direct descendant Of early Huguenot
immigrants.
There is no Huguenot church, So
called, in France today. There is,
however, a Protestant church which
is Presbyterian in it's form of wor-
ship; it is the direct descendant, so
to speak, of the Huguenot church of
the older days.
In the suburb Of Paris, where Sple
American hospital is located, is
thriving French Protestant church I'M
der the passionate Of Doctor D'Aubigne,
a direct descendant Of the D'Aubigne
who wrote the great history of the
Reformation. This church is thriv-
ing one, and with the Huguenot
churches in Paris has the support of
a considerable number Of the bankers
of that city, for curiously enough,
many Of the heads of the greatest
banking institutions in Paris are Prot
estant descendants Of the old Hugue-
nots.

The writer refers to the economic
crisis amongst the agricultural mass
es. Just as in 1860 the country could
not avoid crash while its economic
structure was divided against itself
half chattel-slave production against
half capitalist commodity production
80 today the country cannot avolo
being overwhelmed by depression
far more serious than the 1921 eco
nomic collapse, because the agricul-
tural industry-our largest single in
dustry, an industry having about 40
per cent Of the country's total pop
ulation dependent on it's hopeless
ly immersed in the slough Of fun
damental economic crisis.
Basil. Manly's Views.
This situation was well expressed
to the writer the other day by Basil
Manly, the noted economist, when he
said: ''The country cannot avoid an
economic depression OF The most seJ
rious proportions, as long as agri-
culture continues in its present state
of bankruptcy. A wave Of acute
economic depression is sweeping East
to the manufacturing centers. It
will hit the industrial areas sooner
than most people think it will"
A strikingly similar view is taken
by the conservative observer of the
AnnaIist in his last weekly review Of
the business outlook. Said the An
nalist: sunless. all economic theory
is wrong, however, there is in sight
new readjustment of American
business to world conditions, and one
which may be accompanied with some
internal business friction. The day
is apparently not tomorrow, but it
may we'll enough be the day after
tomorrow"
It is under these extremely unset
tied and basically disturbed economic
conditions beclouded by the menace
of an oncoming dangerous crash that
the next political struggles are to
be fought out in this country. 1t
is out of these very conditions which
are part Of the general fundamentally
unsound economic millieu inherited
by all the countries of the world, in
some form or other, from the imper-
ialist war that our present class d.
visions and class conflicts have aris-
en-. As we analyze the rift in the
various sections of our employing
class and as we examine the growing
political consciousness of the working
and farming masses, each particular
case will appear in its true light as
having taken root in these world
economic conditions.

superior economic forces inherent in
the capitalist system of production
and exchange can be seen from the
following confession Of Mr.. Welton
writing from Chicago two weeks
ago: "The shadows Of coming events
as they fall across the path of Mel
vim A. Traylor, president of the
First Trust and Savings Bank, are
warnings and bad omens. Overex-
pansion of business is one of his
fears. The building industry and
railroad development are evidences
of it. :. The railroads have been
huying equipment and the tonnage
of a million cars a week have been
incentive to the purchases, but bor-
rowing money on the assumption
that the tonnage will be further in
creased may lead to trouble and per-
haps disaster"
An analysis Of the records kept
by the free employment Offices in
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin
shows that the number of jobs avail
able for each hundred applicants "has
fallen nearly three-ffths of the way
back to the lowest point Of the de-
preston of 1921"
Unemployment Increase in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin for instance, the an
alysis of the payroll records made
by the Industrial Commission shows
steady decline in average weekly
earnings and the total payroll since
October, 1928. The total Of employ
es has been falling continuously
since August, 1923.
For the first half of February the
Pennsylvania Department of Labor
and Industry has found shat the
common labor market in the majority
Of the cities remains glutted. In
the Philadelphia building trades, ac-
cording to this report, the "field con-
tinues to be heavily flooded with
mechanics in nearly every trade"
And the latest findings of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics of the De-
partment of Labor on the employ
ment in selected industries in the
United States show a decrease ain
employment of 1.5 per cent in De-
cember over the previous month and
decrease of 1T per cent in the
total payrolls and of OF per cent in
average weekly earnings"
One phase of our present economic
conditions cannot be overestimated.

avail the farmer nothing. Mr.. Capt.
talist Anarchy Of Production is OBJ
viously breaking the back of the
farmer. Mr.. Warren agrees that the
movement of the farmers towards the
cities will create a greater demand
for farm products, leading towards
an improvement in the range of agri-
cultural prices. But he emphasizes
that this adjustment will take a de-
cade. The author does not even men
tion diversified farming as possible
relief, nor does he urge further de-
fiation of labor by capital as an aid
to the debated farmer.
Depression to Continue.
The writer is not optimistic about
a quick return to agricultural pros
perity-"the depression is likely to
continue for many years, the infer
ence is 10 or Is years. If this analy-
sis is true it means that forma-
ton of strong third or farmer-labor
party is practically inevitable. He
enumerates the economic conditions
that must prevail before a renewal
of good times can be hoped for, but
he offers no way out for the millions
Of farmers now in distress. His entire
analysis, however, is solid proof that
the farm planks Of the Workers
Party and the Federated Farmer
Labor Party, namely the land to the
users and a 5-year moratorium on
mortgages, are exactly suited to the
needs and desires Of the 4 million
tenant and mortgaged farmers in
the country. It would seem, how
ever, that the added demand for q
decrease or suspension Of tax pay
ments for this group Of farmers
would strengthen our program.
The article includes valuable ar
ray Of statistics. WI

ing process rather than the approach
of a revival Of industry. We have
today a much bigger freight traffic
on a smaller base of production than
last year. Such condition cannot
properly be counted as sign Of i'm
pending prosperity.
Steel Production Wayering,
Even the production of steel which
is put forward as the bright spot of
the present situation, is beginning
to worry many students Of business.
The last few months have seen a
relapse from the steady fall in steel
production turnout the summer and
early winter months, largely because
of the railway, construction and
Japanese orders. Now steel is wav.
ering again. 1t is showing a posi-
tive trend Of decline. The Iron Age
finds that the orders for May and
June delivery are far below the nor
NAL volume at this time of the year.
Some manufacturers of steel are
thinking of lowering the price of
steel in order to stimulate buying,
because the advance orders are pc
tering out.
The January figures of the Federal
Reserve Board, it is true, do show
an increase over the December pro-
duction. But this must not be taken
as the herald of prosperity. The
trend of economic development can
be judged with scientific accuracy
only by basing conclusions on condi-
tons prevailing over a long repre-
sentative period and not over a brief
period of a month. This is essential
in order to allow for fluctuations in
the economic development. Thus,
the Annalist sums up the situation
by saying that "taken as a whole,
production is not extremely active,
and the general tone of business is
far from resembling that of a pro-
gressive BOOM"
Fear Repetition of 1920.
Some financial experts, like Ar
thur d. Melton in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, even display fear of
repetition of the 1920 disaster de-
spite the highly advertised boasts
that the mistakes of the last great
depression have been learned by the
capitalist class of this country and
will never be permitted to recur. How
childish these claims are when they
are made in good faith and how help
less the employing class is before

The Rebel Miner

None can be found who envy him
Of his work underground.
He is even little thought Of,
Except when winter comes around.
Few of life's joys are his to share
But of burdens he has plenty.
Each year seems like a double decade
Zen tho that means twenty.
There's scarcely a thing he can call
his own
Except his labor power.
But with each day he sells to the
sons of greed
His life's blood GIBBS lower.
Yet when he asks for the things
That are his by right,
He finds he is always forced to face
The power Of might.
lis then he resolves to better his lot
And escape the bitter oppression,
Only to find that the ones he must
fight
Are those who gave him the les
son.
Each battle he enters with increased
vigor
Emerging always with gains,
Until convinced that there's nothing
TO lose
But misery plus the chains.

not so much interested in the price
they can get for their products as in
tho amount Of taxes, interest and
debts they must pay. For it is these
items which are the chief cause of
their present troubles. Taxes have
increased an average of 1920 from
1914 to 1922. The total average
value of crops per farm in the U. S.
is $1075 of which an average of $500
is expended in taxes, interest and the
repayment of debts. The poorer
farmers desire relief in the form of
a reduction in these main items Of
their yearly expenses.
Danger of Inflated Prices.
Mr. Warren explodes several pana-
ccas peddled out by farm politicians
to help the farmers. The farmers
have been blamed for not having
saved money during the war period,
with which they might now stave off
disaster. The author explains this
matter throroly and concludes that
many men would now be better off
financially if they had not saved
money and thus would not have
bought or added to their farm hold
ings at inflated prices. In a disgres-
sion he warns young families against
a similar loss in their savings if they
insist on buying homes at the in
fated prices now prevailing. AS to
the advice that the farmer reduce
production, he states that upon a
drop in prices the farmer must "work
up more units Of his product to meet
expenses: at is true, he con-
tinues, "that the status Of all farm
ers might be better if production
were reduced, but the farmer is pri-
marily concerned with his own indi-
vidual status. Besides, high prices
with 9 small individual crop might
