HAMMOND, Ind, March %
Sand-coated icebergs are the novel
sight awaiting visitors to Dunes
State Park, near here. The bergs
stand about fifty feet out in Lake
Michigan. Sand lifted from the
dunes has been deposited on the ice
until the frozen mass appears like
an island in the lake.
Large herring gulls, which will
soon migrate to the Hudson Bay
district of Canada, fly about the
ice. The bergs are not expected
to thaw until late this month

With over $4,000 families of the
striking miners evicted in Pennsyl-
vania alone, criticism of the mine
union officials for their avoidance of
any constructive program and for
their attempt to slight" the mine
owners by means of sham battles at
Washington, is now said to be COM
ing to head.
Employers Line Up.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, the B.
& 0. Railroad, the New York Cen
trail R. r., the "Katy" Rock Island,
Frisco and Burlington r. r. are
among those who are given as lead
ing the conspiracy against the unions.
Information will be brought out, it
is announced, which will prove that
the influence of the railroads and
mine owners has extended so far as
to exert pressure by the General Mo-
tors and other concerns on firms
which have attempted to do business
with mine owners which are dealing
with the unions.

Pea as means Of stimulating and pro
tracing artificially the period of
prosperity. 1t serves the role of an
oxygen-inhaler into the economic
body of American capitalism. Install
menC buying, say such economists as
economically because it is really a
Professor Seligman, is perfectly sound
form of commercial loans. This is
nonsense. In commercial loans there
are tangible assets.
"In commercial loans there are
tangible assets; unusually good col
lateral to guarantee payment. In in
stallment buying the best that the
bcurgeoisie can have is a mortgage
on the future purchasing power of
the workers, mortgage on the fu-
ture wages of the workers. Wages
are the only collateral which the
working clags can afford or can be
held to as a class. In 1927 INSTALL
ment buying totalled the tremendous
sum of six and a half billion dollars
and the Morris Plan loans, with which
no doubt many of you are well ac-
quainted, was last year more than a
billion dollars. This is also a form
of financial, installment, overseeing.
The contradictory effects here are
very marked Today installment buy
ing may still serve as a force for
protracting prosperity, but tomor-

Ybankers say, too much credit is as
dangerous as insufficient credit par
ticularly for capitalist country
working on the gold basis. The first
reason for the recent trend in the ex-
port of gold is the superabundance of
capital at home. The second reason
is that some of the European coun-
tries have already succeeded in stab
liking their currency to such an ex-
tent, with the help of these very gold
shipments directed by the Federal Re-
serve Bank, that it now pays Ameri-
can capitalism to ship gold 10 Europe.
This speculation growing out of the
superabundance Of capital is worry
ing the bourgeoisie, and the Federal
Reserve Bank is now raising the re-
discount rates.
Within the last few days not only
Chicago but Richmond, New York and
other banks have raised their discount
rate. In the question of gold exports
we have fundamental contradiction
which the bourgeoisie of this country
cannot solve. When there is a sur
plus of gold there is danger of in
flation. When there is insufficient
gold, money rates are high, business
failures follow, wage cuts are the or
der of the day and unemployment
comes en- masse for the workers.
Instalment Buying.

he did on Saturday evening. Mr..

O'Brien a Strikebreaker.
The letter was received by The
DAILY WORKER yesterday. Attic

WEVD will broadcast tomorrow night
belated reply to O'Brien's defense
of the Nicaraguan invasion, it cites
only the military phase Of the record
of the man to whom the Debs Mem
orial Radio Fund offered the use of
its station.
O'Brien devoted much effort to the
open-shop attempt to break the Pas
sale textile strike in 1926-27. He was
paid $1,000 for these efforts, which
consisted in part of assistance in the
organization of raids on the strikers
headquarters. He aided also in an at
tempt to frame Albert Weisbord, the
strike organizer. In connection with
this attempt he tried to persuade an
associate to commit perjury by testi-
flying that the strike was being sup
ported through the out-worn buga-
boo, moscow gold" He also urged
the arrest of Robert w. Dunno,
Esther Lowell and Robert Wolf when
they spoke at Passaic.
The officers of the board of trus-
tees of the fund are Norman Thomas,
chairman; Morris Hillquit, treasurer,
and Gerber, secretary. Thomas is a
member of the editorial staff of the
New Leader, official socialist party
organ and was that party's candidate
for governor in 1926. Hillquit is the
leading member of the national ex-
ecutive committee Of the socialist
party. Gerber is secretary of the
socialist party of. New York.

>ment buying becomes a powerful fac
tor to sharpen and deepen the crises
because the credit disaster then is ret
merely limited to the top but goes
all the way down the line to the low
est members of the bourgeoisie So
ciety even to the unskilled and semi
skilled. 1t is our opinion that Install
ment buying has already seen its best
days as force for protracting pros
perity.
Decreasing Exports.
Fifth: Basic changes in the trend
OF the foreign trade of this country
are noticeable. The maintenance Of
exports is essential for American pros
perity. The export industry have been
developed primarily during the war
and in the immediate postwar Pc
Rod, not only thru the fact that
American Imperialism was able to
seize markets, but also to the fact
that huge credit extensions were made
to them. If the export industries
should suffer it would mean, there
fore, not only that these industries
alone suffer, but that the whole
credit system would be undermined.
When the whole credit system of the
country is undermined the whole cir
culation system of bourgeois society
is poisoned.
Recent months like November and
December indicate signs of decreas-
ing exports to Europe. We may and
will have months of increasinr ax

SECOND INsTALLMENT.

Comrades: In examining the eco
nomic situation one prime question
comes before us. 1t is fact that mass
production and efficiency coupled with
the splendid resources of the country
and with the intense exploitation of
the workers has been the reason for
the American prosperity. This mass
production and efficiency have con-
tinued all the time and are increasing
even now.
''Why is it then that we have an
economic depression today? In 1926
we had less mass production and eff
cheney than we have in 1928. But in
1928 the economic trend is downward
and in 1926 it was positively upward.
We cannot answer this question I'M
less we examine the basis of the fun
damental trends of American econo-
my. 1t may appear in certain phases
abstract, but we must approach it in
a thorough way and we will then UNI
derstand why it is that with mass
production and efficiency continuing
to increase, the depression continues
to deepen.
Auto Increase Competitive.
First of all, let us examine the
situation in the automobile and build
ing industries. The automobile and
building industries have been two of
the outstanding buttresses for Ameri-
can prosperity in the last five years.
The bourgeois press boasts of increas-

server is this an index of prosperity
is this evidence of prosperity. The
fact of the matter is this: the auto

The increase in automobile production
today is a competitive increase. 1t
means sharpening Of the war be-
tween General Motors-which controls
46 per cent of the retail sales-and
Ford. In this war with the resulting
cheapening of p@lces it is the workers
who will pay. The burden of the war
between General Motors and Ford will
fall on the shoulders of the workers
through wage cuts, through increased
speedup and even in cases, I believe,
we may subsequen ly have lengthen-
ing hours even in this highly efficient
industry.
IN Building Industry.
Take the building trades: Without
delving into statistics let me say that
the saturation here is about as COM
plete. One of the leading authorities
on building construction has declared
that we have not had such danger

for fifteen years.
Credit and Speculation.

found in the super-abundance of cred

daily which militant American labor
possesses. Reports are growing that
new attempt is about to be made
to railroad the three arrested Com
munists to five-year prison terms in
Atlanta or some other federal prison.
| The details of the conspiracy, which
was disclosed when the three Com
munists were led handcuffed into
court by federal detectives, has been
carefully prepared for months in adj
vance and it is well understood that
money is no object in crushing The
DAILY WORKER financially and in
sending it's editors to the peniten-
tiary.
The action of the federal authori-
ties threatens The DAILY WORKER
with extinction, tho Justice Thatcher,
U. S. Circuit Court. has temporarily
released Dunno, Bittelman and
Miller On 81 900 bail each. When
federal detectives slipped handouts
on the Communist leaders yesterday
the first step in Stacking The DAILY
! WORKER had been taken.
The growing militancy Of the
American working class, the increas-
ing strength of the left wing IN the
trade unions, have Infatuated and ter
rified the American capitalists, and
they are determined to use every
means at their disposal to stifle the
voice of the militant labor movement.
The charges of violating the postal
laws which have been brought at the
| instigation of a number of patriotic
and military societies acting on the
instructions of large open shop en-
ployers and the United States gov
eminent, are merely flimsy pretexts
for attacking The DAILY WORKER
and silencing the workers press by
Iirnprisoning its staff and breaking it
financially thru the imposition of
fines too heavy to bear and litigation
expenses totalling hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
The capitalists and their militarist
henchmen know that the workers
will fight to keep the prisons from
swallowing their leaders for five
years altho hundreds of thousands of
dollars must be spent in the legal
struggle. They know that the work
ere will spend their last cent to keep
the walls of the capitalist jails from
closing around Dunno, Miller and
Bittelman and they believe that they
can drain the resources of the mill
tant American labor movement in the
struggle.
If the three arrested Communists
are convicted dangerous precedent
will be established for future per-
secutions Of the labor and progress
sive press, and the American reac-
tionaries thru their representatives in
the court are making every effort to
Jail their victims and establish this
precedent.
AT the former trial in which
charges were Brought against the
game three men, it was declared in
open court that the case was an at
Tempt to crush the workers press and
Ahat the charges were an excuse for
destroying the power of militant
American labor. "That the charge is
purely fictitious, is obvious in view
of the fact that the original charges
were made by the Military Order of
the World War and the Keymen Of
America" it was declared at that
time.
Dunno, Bittelman and Bert Miller,
are free today but are awaiting re-
arrest at any moment.
