NOW PROGRESSIVE

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Peter S.
Grosscup, former judge of the United

Williams, they are not well paid. and

their ability and fidelity to trust, seek
them out and pay them approximately
what their services are worth.

ployes of the commission. and has its
business at his fingers ends. He is a
native of Virginia and began service
