MIDDLE CLASS
MENACED IN UNITED STATES
SMALL MANUFACTURERS & OTHERS.
PUT OUT OF BUSINESS BY WAR
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. Noon.) WASHINGTON. October 21.
America’s middle class “the backbone of the nation” is threatened with' liquidation by current impending fines and taxes, Representative Andersen told Congress. He added: “These men and women are needlessly being put out of business and professions. Something must be done before it is too late.” He declared that when the middle class was liquidated, American democracy would be destroyed. The department of commerce had predicted that over 300,000 independent merchants and small manufacturers would be out of business by July as a result of Avar time conditions.
