Commodity Prices in Steep Drop; Jobless Army | the immigration inspector, J. L Gets Larger Again the stock market dropped on Saturday. With almost machine- like precision, Hoover, Mellon and Lamont issued statements ing to bolster up the growing panic, and with equal precision the stock market crashed, indicating the sharpening crisis. But Mellon and his fellow parasites did not use words alone. They sunk the bank rate to 2% per cent—the lowest in the history of the Federal Reserve In the present capitalist contradictions, these ac- tions tend to worsen the crisis and prepare future and severer stock crashes. What is behind the stock crash? No amount of maneuvering by the bosses can hide the fact that the productive machinery of United States capitalism is sinking deeper into the slimy morass of deeper srisis. A bird’s eye picture of the sever- ity of the present stage of the smash s given by the Annalist (June 20, (930): “Automobile production has de- clined sharply; steel ingot produc- tion for the country as a whole has dropped to 65 per cent of capacity; the commodity price level, as shown by the Annalist Index, has declined 2.1 points to a new record post-war low at 1274—a loss of 4.2 per cent in two weeks; the Annalist index of Factory Employment for May, at the provisional figure of 92.4, stands at the lowest point since August, 1922; the stock market has undergone this week the most severe prices recession since the maze of | collapse of last autumn.

This does not mean that France has dropped plans for reprisal, as ome capitalist papers contend. It is rather a warning to the ; } United States boss government and a preparation of the grounds for| future reprisals if the tariff com- mission fails to lower the tariff in vegard to French goods. This atti- tude is truely brought out in a very significant paragraph in the state- ment. It evertheless, should the tariff commission refuse seriously to consider our protests, we must then frankly face the prob- lem and proceed with other mea- | ; Sures. i | Fascists Fire on Workers, Many Wounded BERLIN I.P.S.).—Bloody colli- sions occurred on Friday evening between revolutionary workers on] police immediately drew their clubs |a “plant.” | the one hand and fascists and police on the other in Erfurt.

Within a few hours of Sofia there are villages where the greater part | of the landless peasantry—and even | to those with small tracts of land— can afford to eat only once in two days; in other families the husband must go to work with an empty stomach, and, after working all day without a bite, content himself with maize bread for his evening meal.” Under the ‘circumstances, the growing radicalization of the masses and the political unstability of the counter-revolutionary regime in Bul- |garia is a foregone conclusion.
