Business Busts Are
Increasing

Business failures are on the In
crease. This is interpreted by experts
as indicating that the day of easy
money is over.
Principal casualties thus far have
been manufacturing enterprises. For
the first two months Of this year there
were 159 failures in this field, with
liabilities of over SIS millions.
Heavy mortality among retailers is
forecast by Dun & Bradstreet and
Business Week" The latter recalls
that at least IN of every five bust
nesses in the country was founded in
the last three years and has known
only the best Of times as far as prices,
profits and sales are concerned
Many will disappear, it is predicted,
when caught in the midst of falling
prices and %liquidating Inventories"

now 10 find the weak or soft spots
in the highly financed authorizations
armor of the trusts and corporations
end to hammer away at them. day and
night.
In order 10 counter the attacks OF
big business. labor might well con
slider that "theer is no mandate for
government by big business.
Labor's answer might point out that
it was business craftsmanship which
led this country to the Hoover depres-
sion and crash Of 1929. that il was
business craftsmanship" that knock
ed out OPA with the resulting price
initiation since June. 1916.
Another sensitive spot in business
circles today is the extremely high
level of profits. Some corporate
spokesman call them exceptional.
while the New York Times business
writer, c. +. Hughes, calls them fan
tastic and scandalous.'
Business also has a fear today of
returning to the national doehouse.
but some of its leaders argue that
despite the excessively high profits
lit would be foolish not to take what
the traffic can bear" This latter
quote is from Hughes column in the
Times of May II. 1917.
Our corporate leaders are also
afraid nov of a new senate investi-
CATION Of wartime profits-a new "Nye
committee" probe of the eXtortionate
prices the NAM chiseled out of the
nation. The fear of this sort Of in
v%estigation is pointed up by the bust
ness community's willingness to re
negotiate contracts" = quietly and
without a public hearing and it's bad
press for industry.
These weapons. and more, are in
labor's arsenal now. Others will come
to hand with the development of the
business crisis and its effect upon the
workers themselves. The people cut
payrolls. the families suffering
from the high cost of living and the
power of uncurbed monopolies
and cartels will all play into labor's
hand in the 1913 political campaign.
When labor goes to the people, as
it must. it will not be unarmed. The
time is swiftly approaching when the
American worker will take the polit-
ical offensive - to tell his neighbOr
and yours that this great country must
have a program better than the boom
and bust" cycles the NAM and Cham
Der of Commerce insist are part and
parcel of American free enterprise.

 One hen broke three eggs and two chicks matched, leav- ing six eggs that were rotten. On June End my older chicks had their first appearance of feather and were eating like a horse. On July 3rd five more chicks matched, two of which I had to help out of the shell. On July 4th one more chick matched, leaving five rotten eggs. That made just Al chicks and all settings were off.
