the local press as having said that
the strikers will be starved back to

that if there had been any chance of

Opposes Government Shipping.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80 Of. Ply
Frederick Steiwer, newly elected re-
publican senator from Oregon, has
publicly declared in Washington his
support of the demand of private
shipping interests that they be al
lowed to buy the three government
cargo-steamship lines on the Pacific
with guaranty of operating them
only five years. A majority of the
U. S. Shipping Board insists on public
operation until a 10-year guaranty of
American operation can be had from
private buyers.

But they do net give way to such a
marked degree as stocks.
In spite of evidence on every hand
that q general crisis is near at hand,
the financial writers Of the capital
list press are trying to maintain az.
atmosphere Of optimism because
bonds are rising while stocks are fall
ing.
The present rise in bonds is only
artificial as a result of the heavy
shift from stocks and does not in
dictate prosperity for those indus
tries upon which the bonds are is
sued.
Rail Earnings Drop.
Net operating income for fifty
leading railroads for the month of
September was S9,350,76 below last
year, which is a decrease of $50 per
cent, and estimates are that the earn
| ings of the same roads for October
will show a decrease of not less than
IL per cent. Thus rails follow U. S.
Steel and General Motors on the to-
boggan.
The stock exchange today is a baro-
meter that heraJds the coming storm.
The capitalists are prepared to meet
it and to weather it with little loss
to themselves. True, the powerful
combinations will take advantage of
the predicament of the small fellows
to put them out of business and to
further concentrate industry under
the domination of the banking houses
of Wall Street.
Meanwhile the burden of the de-
preston will rest as it always has
rested upon the shoulders of the
working class. What will be only
temporary losses for the master class
will mean unutterable misery, the
agonizing pangs of poverty and the
fear of poverty, on the part of the
working class.
At this time a program for unen-
ployment is demanded of the Amer
lean labor movement, but as usual
the official labor leadership, the
bureaucracy Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, will be found preach
ing contentment to the working class
and assuring them that their suffer-
ing will be of short duration and
probably blaming them for not pro-
ducing enough, when it is plain to

Heretofore the sharp falls were
characterized by quick recoveries and
a steady market. Last weeks decline
differs from the others because it is
a steady descent over a longer period
of time Every new break in the
market is followed by a period of
fluctuation, of unevenness, and then
continues downward.
Steel Still Falling.
Since the publication of the steel
report for the third quarter, showing
q decline of nearly 25Gs in net earn
ings below that of last year steel
stocks have fallen steadily. The steel
industry is hit and hit hard by the
decline in production and the stock
market reflects it. Not merely does
the downward trend in steel resist
efforts on the part of the steel mag
mates to boost it out of its slump, but
it steadily falls because of the fact
that orders for the current quarter
are far below the last quarter, which
may bring the years net earnings
down below that of the past quarter.
On Friday and Saturday strenuous
efforts were made to revive the steel
stocks, but the close was almost the
lowest point for the period, after a
series Of waverings.
On General Motors a slight rally
was perceptible and Saturdays close
brought rally Of one and seven
eighths points. But had the exchange
remained open half hour longer it
could not have held, and the opening
this morning will probably see another
fall to a new low level.
Shift Investments to Bonds.
That the experienced elements on
the exchange know what is coming is
indicated by the sudden shift in in
vestments from stocks to bonds. The
\ WISER ones always thrown their
stocks upon the market preceding a
period of depression and invest in Sc
curities drawing a fixed interest. In
periods Of industrial activity stocks
are the best paying investments be-
cause the income is determined by
the earnings. But in periods of de-
cline the gamblers withdraw their
money from stocks and invest in rail
road, industrial. government. munich
pal and other bonds, from whence
they have better assurance of a fixed
income, though they also break under
long depression.
Then when the industrial recovery
sets in, the bonds are thrown upon
the market and stocks are again pur-
chased.
The decline in stocks today is
similar to the slump in the market
twenty years ago, on the eve of the
1907 depression. The big guns of
the market know what is coming
and they are preparing for it.
Bonds Win Also Fall.
There are definite stages of the
reaction to industrial depression of
the stock exchange. The first one is
the shifting of investments from
stocks to bonds. But when all indus
try faces a decline, as is obviously
>the case today, bonds also ccllanse
