LUMBER INDUSTRY SLUMP.
Survey Reveals Seasonal Let-Down
In Business.

While reports received today by the
National Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
citation from 1886 softwood and 131
hardwood lumber mills, show the
lumber industry in characteristic sea-
sonal et.down, there is encourage
ment in the fact that new business
taken last week is equal to that of
the corresponding week in 1926
Almost invariably the order file,
week for week, has been less in 1927
than in 1926. 1t is true that the actual
reports show considerable decrease,
hut when weighted for mills that are
disseminating reporting. the Conclu-
sion is reached that the order file is
as large as year ago. Similarly,
shipments were about the same, while
there is slight decrease in produc-
ton.

July Days In Russia
Ten Years Ago

IN NOVEMBER the proetariat of the world will
celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Bolshevik
revolution in Russa-ten years of rule of the
workers and peasants government
But ten years ago now, in the dark DAYS of the
July reaction when the revolution was at its lowest
ebb and the danger was gravest of a successful
consolidation of the forces of reaction only the most
clearsighted could avoid succumbng to the illusion
that the outcome of the tremendous upheaval that
sent the car into exile could be nothing other than
bourgeois government
The political adventurers constitutional demo-
Gratis, mensheviks and social revolutionares whom
history placed at the helm of the new government
In Russia had tried, time after time to turn the
elementary movement of the revolution into dis
tlnctly capitalist class channels. These attempts
evoked determined resistance on the part of the
class conscious proletariat of Petrograd (now Len
lngrad). There never, from the beginning of
the revolution, any question regarding the prole-
tartan character of the in that great center
of industry.
When blood flowed in the streets in July ten
years ago the so-caed legally constituted
was the coalition of May 9Th which had been formed
after Miiukoff, first minister of foreign affairs
had promised the allies to continue the war until
many of the czaris detectives including the capture
OF Constantinople realized The crisis created
by this announcement forced the fall of the Milu-
koffLvov cabinet and the creation of the coalition
government.
AeHHu GHS Official government there stood an
other authority, the Councils of Workers and Sol
diers (Soviets), which did not then have at its
disposal the state power,%but which unquestienablv
had the support of the vast majority of the popu
iation and was directly supported by the armed
workers and soldiers. Owing to the pressure of
the masses who had achieved the overthrow of the
car the Soviets, while under Menshevik con-
troll, were forced to take sharp issue with these
statesmen" of the provisional government that
tried sometimes openly and sometimes by devious
ways, to continue the imperialist war on the side

o sfat nature and could never characterize
whole epoch in the development of revolution Either
the coalition government had to fall before the
Soviets or the Sovets had to sink to the condition
of mere adjuncts to the bourgoisie to be used for
a time to cloak their treachery to the workers and
then gradually wither away before the consolidated
power of the political lackeys of capitalism.
One of the first acts of the coalition was an Of
fensve against the workers in the factories and
workshops that had for its objective the lockout
of many of the most determined sections Of the
proetariat, the beating down of their standards OF
life already horribly miserable.
In order to meet this offensive the Bolshevik
Party and the Central Bureau of Factory Com
mttees arranged demonstration for the tenth OF

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Investor Turns Speculation.
by GEORGE r. HUGHES.


This Is the true story Of how an in.
weston turned Spectator and then
turned back to an investor again.
The chances are that he believed he
was investing all the time. At any
rate he never intended to speculate.
Back in 1924, before the st. Paul re-
ceivership, this man consulted his
banker about his holdings OF st. Paul
common stock. 1t seems he had been
a shareholder in the Milwaukee Co.,
as they call it outside Of Wall Street,
for years previously. He bought the
stock when 1t was paying dividends
and when l. was considered con-
sentative investment.
what am 1 going to do with st.
Paul?" he asked. IT'S way down to
IA and II sell 1t I will have a ter.
rible loss"
WELL" said the banker, maybe
the St Paul will come out all right,
don't you switch into General Motors?
That Is selling around $14 a share
and think 1t has a better chance"
But" objected my friend. II don't
want to speculate. / never speculated
in my life."
What are you doing now. II you
are not speculating?" was the reply.
Eventually the exchange was made.
The st. Paul stock was disposed Of
and the General Motors substituted
and at practically the same price. OF
course, every one knows what hap.
pened afterward. st. Paul went into
the hands Of a receiver and General
Motors forged ahead until it's stock
became one Of the highest priced
stocks listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. 1t must be remembered
that after this exchange was made
the General Motors shareholders turn
ed In four shares of the old common
for one Of the new, so that the cost
Of $14 a share really represents S84
for the present stock. Even at that
this man has a very large profit and
he is still a stakeholder in General
Motors. Now when did he invest and
when did he speculate? Also don't
you think his banker gave him good
advice whether 1t was investment or
speculation?

DEALINGS ON CURB
IN SPECIAL ISSUES
Public Participation on Small
ScaIe-Market Mostly
Professional.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 29.-lnterest in
the Curb Market proceedings today
centered in special issues. The mar.
ket as a whole displayed no definite
tendency. Public participation was
on a small scale and the bulk Of the
operations represented the work. OF
the professional speculative element.
The drastic decline yesterday in
Drummer Turbine and Equipment IA
per cent bonds, which carried them off
more than Is points, naturally caused
attention to center on this issue in the
bond division. The rally of more
than points just before the end
Tuesday was somewhat reassuring to
holders of the issue. but no further
recovery occurred up to late hour
today.
Consolidated Laundry Says.
One of the outstanding incidents of
the stock trading was the sudden
flood of offerings Of Consolidated
Laundry, carrying it off almost 4
points to a new low for the year
before selling subsidized. This was all
the more significant because OF the
fact that the stock for the past six
months had moved over range OF
less than points.
Whether the weakness reflected the
possible withdrawal of banking sup
port or merely the fact that the mar
ket for the moment was found to be in
a vulnerable position was a question.
But so far as developments within the
company itself were concerned there
was nothing to account for the sudden
pressure.
Bucyrus stood out strongly among
specialties, advancing to a new high
for the year around 20. The last ac-
complishments in the fields of avia-
ton appeared to be the incentive for
the buying of Curtiss Aero at new
high prices for the year.
Utilities More Active.
Little happened in the market for
public utilities. although trading was
somewhat more active. United Gas
& Improvement, Electric Bond
Share, Consolidated Gas of Baltimore
and American Water Works new
were lower, but in the case of the first
named the decline took into considera-
ton the dividend of 81 deducted from
the price today.
Trading again was active in Banc-
italy, but the action of the stock indi.
Gated that the recent rise had amply
discounted the stock distribution of 40
per cent declared two days ago.
There was certainly nothing encour-
aging to holders of the oil shares in
the action of the prominent issues.
