Si*th Year Of Acute Crisis
Reveals ROOSeUeJt's Promises
As Fake Election BaLIyI1OO

which had profits Of S19,0000 900 in
the first six months Of 1882, in
creased their profits to SIS 100000
in the first half of 1888, and to
S385 100000 in the first six months
Of 1884.
This huge increase of 1850 per
cent in the profits for the first half
Of 1884, as compared with the prof
its in 1882, was made possible by
speeding up the pace Of the worker
to an unbearable pace, by the in
flationary rise in prices, and by
loans and subsidies from the gov
eminent.
Thus we see the class character
and goal Of the New Deal: Hunger
and insecurity for the workers; swol-
len profits and the growth of
monopoly for the capitalists.
The new promises of Roosevelt
and the changes in the structure of
the New Deal set up, will not change
the ruling class character of the
administration. If anything the
Swing to the right" by Roosevelt
signifies that the administration will
become more openly the servant Of
Wall Street.
DELIEF will be cut. The admin
N istration has announced that I'M
der no circumstances will it revive
the G. w. A. Instead it will dole
out miserable relief handouts, while
balyhooing a program of economic
security that it has no intention of
carrying out. 1t is significant that
the presidents own Committee on
Economic Security has announced
that they are not contemplating any
scheme that will tax the employers
or replace the present system of
inadequate relief.
People who have been touring the
country report that the sixth win
ter of the crisis will be the worst
SO far. The economic data that is
available at the moment supports
this conclusion. Business and pro-
duction are stagnating at around
the lowest levels of the crisis. The
Annalist Index of Business Activity
dropped from II in August to 66 in
September, as compared with 1854
in September, 1898. This puts the
index at the lowest point since April,
1888.

feature that makes the present sit
uation even worse than last year or
two years ago. THE present de-
cline in industrial activity finds
many people who, in the earlier
crisis were able to draw upon ac-
cumulated savings, with their re-
serve funds exhausted. This &C
counts for the marked increase in
suicides and in the demand for gov
eminent relief"
From all appearances the admin
istration is determined to bluff its
way through another winter, de-
spite the cost in suffering and hui
man lives. There is no evidence
that employment will pick up. The

his burnt cork complexion. and
was discovered to be a third

couldn't be proved.

when the door was opened and

he threw himself a grenade

Private Perkins had been
wounded, though not fatally. A
slash across his wrist had sew

bleeding rapidly. But he did

"It's my left wrist" he ex.

They were almost out of the
zone of fire now. A pale moon
peeped from Scudding clouds.
Private Perkins hummed softly
as he rode.
Then, far off, in the Metz forti-
fications, a gray arm reached for
the lanyard of a big gun and
fired one more deSultory shot
into the night. The great shell
exploded short of its mark, the
crossroads, leaving another USE

earth.
The ambulance sped on
through the French night. When
the driver stopped for coffee, he
went to ask Private Perkins if
he'd like some, too. But Mickey
Perkins was dead in heap on
the floor of the car. One splinter
of steel only from that last shell
had ripped through the canvas
side of the ambulance and hit
him in the heart.

CLOSE FLAG ISSUE
Likely to Clinch in Next
Dozen GameS-Gain With
TWo-PIy Victory.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Snorts writer


TINE New York Giants faced the
beginning Of their final home
stand today against their West
ern rivals of the National
League with a seven-game lead and
handsome prospects of settling the
pennant race before they leave the
Polo Grounds again.
They tuned up yesterday by taking
pair or ninth-inning, one-run de-
cisions from the Phillies, 3 to 2 and
to S, to add full game to their
margin over the idle Chicago Cubs
and st. Louis Cardinals, who are tied
for second place. In their next dozen
games they encounter the Cubs, the
Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cards in
order and if they can win three games
out Of four in each series that will
virtually win the flag for them out
right.
In further support of the Giants
position is the fact that they have
lost only two series, both at Chi
cago, since the first of June.
The Phils gave the league leaders a
couple of close calls yesterday, but
neither Curt Davis nor Syl johnson
could stand off New York's ninth
inning bursts.
