points despite their victory at Gin

seven straight, was the victim Of q
ninth inning rally in which the Cards
pushed over the winning run with

Jess Haines got credit for the
Cards victory, but the real hero
was Fred Farmhouse, who allowed

innings before giving way to Haines

'"rhe Great Bear" is in this period.
Back of the wild, hectic life of Thane
Parkway and his stock market and
sex ventures and adventures, there is
just a glimpse of the teeming life in
this period of American growth. The
control of banks, newspapers, wide
spread corruption and all the visible
evils of a system of profit-making in
the control of wheat are part of
this picture.
Here again, as in "Sweepings," the
robbery of the unorganized exploited
farmer and his labor are not consid-
erred. Here is a picture of only the
other side-the people who put wheat
into the mouths of the nation-or
took it out Of their mouths on the
gamble of ever greater profit. These
people, their character and their
methods, are vivid in presentation.
"The Great Bear" does not give one
the feel Of the completeness of even
"Sweepings." Both, however, are
thoroughly America of the recent
past and both are well-written novels
far above the junk of the day.

THE SOCIALIST PRESS:
A TOOL OF REACTION


EITITH>the drift of the socialist party
W to the right, the socialist press,
both party and trade union, has
greatly degenerated. The pro-war
group of socialists who quit the par
ty, including John Spargo, Chester M.
Wright, William English Walling, ct
AL, have sunk into contemplate apollo
gists for every reactionary practice of
the dominant A. F. of L. officialdom.
The socialist press as a whole is but
little better. Such papers as the Mill
waukee Leader are only few shades
more radical than Hearst's sheets.
The party press has abandoned its
whole program of opposition to the
A. F. of L. machine. 1t now fights
against amalgamation; it accepts the
"new wage policy" of the A. F. of L.
and the entire scheme of worker-em-
ployer cooperation; it is enthusiastic
for trade union capitalism; it follows
the lead generally of the A. F. of L.
reactionaries in the everyday life of
the movement. Except for mild adj
vocacy of the labor party and nation
alization of the basic industries, to-
gether with clinging to certain radi-
cal phraseology and a soft-pedalling
on patriotism, the socialist press in
many instances is hardly to be dis
tinguished from that of the ultra
reactionaries. 1t is saturated with
corruption.
1t is the policy of the A. F. of L.
bureaucracy, from Green downwards,
to draw into its service wherever pos
sible the slick socialist politicians and
writer's. The latter are all too willing
to serve as such lackeys to the reac-
ton. A case in point is that of Oscar
Ameringer. For many years he was
a leading socialist journalist, express
ing violent criticism of craft union
ism and all its works. But he has
made his peace with the reaction. He
became editor of the Illinois Miner,
