Death of Kreuger FOLLOWED by
Intens1ying OF Class Struggle

The suicide of the Millionaire
Kreuger who built a world financial
kingdom on blackmail, forgery and
swindle has served as spark which
is breaking up Swedish society as
no other single incident has ever
done in this capitalist country.
Looked up to as a God, worshipped
by the middle class and exhalted by
the misleaders of the working class
even more than Henry Ford has been
in the United Staten, the death of
the worlds greatest swindIer has been
followed by wage of suicides in
Sweden and a terrific intensification
of the class struggle.
In a dispatch from Stockholm to
the New York Times, the well-known
European journalist, Jules Sauerwein
says hat communism has made
gigantic strides in the last five
weeks" He ascribes this to indigna-
ton. But more than this it is a
result Of the worsening of the stand
ard Of living because of the bank
ruptcies of firms hit through the ex-
posures.
The "Times" correspondent says:
1.-THE life of the whole middle class
has ben profoundly conyulsed The
statistics on suicides and sudden
deaths within the past five weeks
are positively frightening. Thousands
Of tenants were unable to pay their
rent on April l and, what is even

paying" And he adds that the
workers are taking difficulties
BADLY" That is, they are organizing.
And the Swedish government is al
lady thinking Of establishing a fascist
regime to halt the working class.
Sauerwein attempts to say that up
to the present Sweden has not been
affected by the crisis and that the
workers have been welI-fed and
satisfied. This is 8 lie out Of whole
cloth. Exactly year ago unemploy-
ment reached the high percentage Of
% per cent of these organized, the
same as in the United States at that
cime. Wage cuts were rife then. It
is well to remember the battles
fought by the dockworkers of Hahn
stad against the military. Seven
workers were killed and on the day
Of the funeral demonstration gen
eral strike spread throughout the
country.
The anger of the middle class
which has had it's moral and finan-
cial base ripped from under and
smashed to bits is great. It is charged
that the government officials of
which are mixed up in the Kreuger
swindles are picking on small fry
and hiding the big culprits among
the financial kings.
Meanwhile the investigation con-
tinues. And Of the whole truth is
ever given out the bare rotteness and
corruption of "our leading men" in
this dying capitalist system will
stand exposed as was hitherto I'M
imaginable.

Kills Her Children
And Commits Suicide

PONTIAC, Mich.-AIrs. Margaret
Butzen, % years Of age, killed her
two children and then committed
suicide at their home, 1853 Michigan

to Mrs. Butzen's dependency over
his inability to find work. Not being
able to see her children starve to
death she took the quickest way out.
This is what c, B. Wilson, head OF
the Welfare Department is respon-
sible for wit hhis 65 cent relief per

The way out is not suicide but

COTTON LOWER

REPORTS

NEW YORK, Oct. II UN.S).
Ignoring crop developments that
ordinarily would have a bulliSh
effect, cotton futures today ruled
below the previous close.
The market opened 2 to (
points lower with cables slightly
above due prices. These declines
later were extended.
Heavy hedge selling through
spot houses took place in early
dealings. New Orleans and local
traders sold. Ring observers re-
ported very little speculative pres
sure.
Buying came mainly from the
trade, Liverpool and shorts. Brok-
ers who usually act for the Far
East were good buyers. Profes-
sional traders also bought.
Midday quotations were off 6
to 7 points. December was off
7 at 1884, January off 2 at
$6.39, March off 6 at $3.50, May
off 6 at $3.50, and July off 6 at

NATIONAL DAIRY
EARNS NEEDS

Earnings of National Dairy
Products Corporation in the first
eight months of this year were
substantially more than dividend
requirements for the period.
In view of the strong cash posi-
ton of the company, currently
$22,0O0,00O, directors seem certain
will declare the regular quarterly
dividend of soc share at the No,
vember meeting.
National Dairy reported a net
of $6,587 ,999 or $1.05 a share on
the 6,254,653 shares of common
stock, in the six months ended
June 80. against $10,552,826, or
$168 a share, earned in the first
half of 1881. The last half of the
year is normally the most profit
able since it includes the ice
cream business of the summer
months.
Although summer earnings this
year were materially below those
of 1881, due to the cool summer
and the decline both in the vol
ume of ice cream sales and prices,
profits in July and August were
nevertheless sufficiently above the
monthly average in the first half
to indicate that the full dividend
will be more than covered by the
end of the year.
In 1881 National earned $21,.
765 1859, or $3.47 share, of which
$1.79 a share was earned in the
final half.
