trust, went into the hands of re- ceivers, there have been no failures of New York stock exchange houses.
 The recent break in prices has been attributed only to overspecula- ton in stocks, while earlier breaks resulted from greatly strained credit conditions. In 1907, call money rose to 125 per cent and was scarce at that figure as many banks suspended payments. There were also numerous stock exchange fail urcs. a necessary adjunct to panic conditions
 Tho collapse of 1907 was accom- panied. like that Of 1893. by hoard- ing of money throughout the coun- try, as a result of which bank re serves were reduced to un unwork- able proportions. Such is not the situation at tho present time.
 1873 Worst Collapse
 The worst collapse in the coun- try's history was the one Of 1875. which reached it's climax with the memorable Black Friday" That had been gathering for more than five years but the first rumbling was not heard until April, 1873. The stock market moved uncasily and four failures occurred. On April 26, the Atlantic bank failed but spccu- lation continued. The collapse of the GouTd and I'isko gold corner, which also involved President Grant caused chaos.
 In addition 10 the 70 stock ex- change and numerous bank failures, business suffered for many years.

HELL FOR RESORT
H OTEL SLAVES
Speeded Up to Cater to
Parasites
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
BOSTON, Mass. (By MaiD.-
Without doubt the most exploited
section of the workers in America
are those working in the resort hotel
kitchens.
The contrast in the daily life of
the kitchen worker and that of the
guest is almost beyond expression.
The kitchen workers, cooks, helpers,
serving room workers have to be in
the kitchen at a. m. sharp. There
is a rush to get the breakfast ready
and at the same time themselves
swallow a cup of coffee and roll.
The side hall (officers dining
room) start at $50 at the Mt. Kineo
House, at Kineo, Maine. These Bah
bits were unusually catered to, so
that the cooks barely have time
enough to get ready.
The parasites (guests) dining
room opens at eight and is sup
posed to close at $50 but more than
often it is after 10. Overtime? You
are eligible for the insane asylum for
just thinking about it in a resort
hotel!
In the meantime one must pre-
pare for luncheon, otherwise you will
be "stuck."
One Rush After Another.
After breakfast the kitchen help
go out for breath, and are back at
II sharp. Again the mad rush to
have everything ready, on time for
the grand SIAM" beginning at ~,
if the parasites are condescending
enough not to be late.
Another breathing spell until 8
when the mad rush begins again,
and ends at $50, but sometimes not
until nine.
Often the whole kitchen crew is
held half an hour extra waiting for
two guests who may decide after all
that they want only a little salad.
Poor Accommodation for Help.
The accommodation for the help
is very poor, and the cooks have to
dry their sweat-soaked clothes in
their bedroom. No showerbath, and
only one toilet and wash-bowl to each
fifteen to twenty workers. Only a
militant amalgamated food workers
union can abolish such conditions.

TOUGH Times FOR
MONT. FARMERS
COMING WIN TER
Communist Nucleus
May Come Soon
(By a Farmer Correspondent

DIV q Farmer Correspondent
WOLF POINT, Mont, Aug. 49,
At this point we have the Fort Peck
Indian reservation where there are
about 1000 Indians, most of whom
do not farm but who lease the land
to the white farmers. At most,
about five per cent of the Indians
actually work on the land. The
renting of this land is cheap and it
is not infrequent that the Indian is
Cheated" The reservation is 30 by
40 miles in size and is steadily grow
ing smaller due to the Indians SELL
ing their holdings.
This section was settled for the
most part in 1916 and 1917. Under
the enlarged Homestead Act the set
tier was allowed 800 acres and he
had to pay from $500 to $500 per
acre for this land, price depending
upon its tillabiHty and fertility.
Most of the early settlers are still
here but the cost of machinery and
mortgages, together with generally
low prices are worsening the situa-
ton for the small farmer in par
ticular.
This is fast becoming a combine
territory. This summer about %
new 16-foot combines were bought
by farmers in the vicinity of Wolf
Point. The combine shows it's su-
periority over the binder and the
separate threshirg outfit by cut
ting the cost of harvesting in two
and also by being able to cut and
thresh the wheat when it is short,
which is amply demonstrated this
year when the wheat straw is ra-
Their short. The main crop here is
wheat.
Farmers here are experiencing
tEe worst crop year since 1915. The
average yield per acre is not more
than seven bushels of wheat. Last
year the average yield was almost
rs bushels to the acre. This short
crop is forcing the farmers into
debt. Stores are demanding cash
for groceries, etc., and the banks
do not consider the farmers paper
good any more, so he can get credit
there. This means tough times for
some this winter.
Politically the farmers here are
at sea. In the past they have be-
longed to the old parties, of course,
but many of them are sure to line
up with a farmers and workers
party once it gets going. The So
cialist party had a local here with
IL members but this is now dead
and gone and cannot be resurrected.
There are a very few strong Com
munist sympathizers among the
farmers and prospects point to the
organization of a Communist nu-
cleus at Wolf Point in the not dis
tant futur&. FARMER.
