BANK JOURNAL
IS OPTIMISTIC
By RICHARD HATTON

In line with the many predictions
of generally satisfactory business
throughout the country this fall a
recent issue of the American
Bankers Journal evidently indicates
what will be the expressed opinions
of the nations financial experts
now gathering at the convention OF
the American Bankers Association
at Los Angeles when it states:
Business continues at a pace
noteworthy for this season OF the
year and gives reasonable assurance
Of another good autumn.
with so high a record in produc-
ton and consumption for the first
eight months now definitely estab-
lished, 1926 may easily make a
better mark on the prosperity chart
than did 1925. No drastic changes
are looked for during the remain
ing months of this year. The year
1925 witnessed the highest produc-
tion in history, which makes the
numerous increases this year all the
more remarkable. Production in
Leading Industries may be, Of par
ticular interest to those who have
been predicting an end to our condi-
tion of prosperity, and felt that
1925 marked the crest to the present
business cycle.
.eThe most impressive gains are
Ga the automobile and machinery
group, Of which production OF loco
motives, freight and passenger cars
ID outstanding, The, gain in ma
chine tool orders is also encourag-
ing for the machinery industry has
been one of the slowest to rec lver.
The entire motor car industry
seems destined to remain in the
limelight, and its continued growth
is most amazing. The outlook for
the industry is that sales the bal
ance of the year. viii be satisfac-
tory, although. naturally well below
the level of the spring season. A
few of the companies undoubtedly
viii establish new high earnings
records for the year 1925, but it is
significant to note that not all Of
them showed gains of the same
proportions.
President Joseph Schiavone, Of
the International Exchange Bank,
who has been in Richmond attend
ing the sessions Of the waterways
congress as a representative of the
State Of New Jersey, is back at his
desk.
Loans totaling 1929, $50, sufficient
TO provide housing accommodate
for So families in Washington. D.
c., and its suburbs, were authorized
at the last meeting of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company
real estate committee. The loans
were placed through the Potomac
Savings Bank of Washington.
The amount Of ordinary life IN
surance sold in the United States
during the month of August is
practically identical with that sold
in August. 1925, when the sales
were 81 per cent ahead Of the Pfc
vious August, according to a report
Just published by the Life Insur-
ance Sales Research Bureau of
Hartford, Conn. The report in-
cludes the sales of new paid-for
ordinary insurance as reported by
81 companies having. in force SO
per cent of the total life insurance
outstanding in tho Uniteds States
legal reserve companies.

GERMANS FILE
APPLICATION TO
join LEAGUE

GENEVA, Switzerland. Feb. IL -
IGermanys application for entrance
into the league Of nations was form
ally received today. There were no
ceremonies in connection with the de-
livery of the document to Sir Eric
Drummond, the secretary Of the
league.
The note, which is brief, merely
asks that the application be acted
upon as soon as possible. Foreign
Minister Stresemann particularly calls
attention to the allied Interpretation
of article XVI Of the league covenant,
as agreed upon at Locarno, to the eff
feet that members of the league will
be compelled to participate in military
action only in accordance with their
military capacity and their geograph-
ical situation. This indicates that
the German government intends to
steer clear of military commitments
on large scale and that it intends
to furnish armed forces only in con-
sonance with what the dominant cap
italist groups believe to be to their
own interests.

lowers Of Gov. Sorlie. This meeting
will endorse Sorlie for governor and
Nye for the U. S. senate. They will
run in the republican primaries.
The l. V. A. will run their own can
didates. The farmerlabor party will
in all likelihood nominate the former
attorney general under league control,
Mr.. VIM. Lemke, for the U. S. senate.
1t will also put up complete state
ticket.
Farmers Rally to Glass Party.
The farmers in William and in
Burke and in Divide counties have al
ready come out strong for the farm
erlabor party. AS soon as the league
convention is over in Bismarck, there
will be many more counties that will
endorse the party. The labor organ
izations in Fargo have also endorsed
the farmer-labor party.
1t is a golden year for the organiza-
ton Of the state into the farmer-labor
party. Things are shaping themselves
splendidly. The hour has struck.

3 Times in 3 Months

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 1.-THE Sea-
man Body corporation, subsidiary of
the Nash Motor company, has cut
piecework rates three times in three
months. The Machinists' Union finds
conditions at the Milwaukee plant in
tolerable both as to hours and wages
and spying on men for union sympath-
les. At the same time the N2eh COM

may read that about IS or so of the

At the Kenosha plant, the main fac
tory of the company, a very efficient

Florida Carpenters
Bar Negro Delegates
at State Council
BY a Worker corrs.pondsnt


MIAMI, Florida, Feb. 1.-THE state
Carpenters Council, which met in
Orlando, refused to seat two Negro
delegates representing unions in st.
Petersburg and Jacksonville tho these
representatives had credentials from
paid-up locals. The irony in this draw
ing of the color line consists in the
fact that the first carpenters organi-
cation in the state was formed years
ago at Pensacola by colored workers.
This union is still in existence. It's
seven members pay their dues regular
ly and hold an official charter from
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners. The Negro unionists have
always carried out their obligations.
Yet the state council refused to seat
duly elected delegates because they
happened to have, been born with q
dark instead of fair skin
While all this was going on in
Orlando, international president, VIM.
Hutcheson, was only a hundred miles
away at Lakeland. He did not attend
the council. Thus he avoided having
to render a decision on the color Ques-
ton. Moreover, he is in bad with
the state carpenters because of his
employment of personal favorites to
the exclusion of local men in the de-
velopment of the brotherhood's pro-
perty at Lakeland.

North Dakota Farmers Await Elections

the league and it's failure to step in
line with the new forms of political
activity being born out of the strug-
gle, the outstanding leaders of the
dirt farmers of this state, farmers
who were the organizers and the back
bone of the league, met in conference
at Bismark on Dec. IS, to formally
launch the farmer-labor party as the
political weapon of the farmers and
workers of this state. Over 100 dele
gates were present representing all
sections of the state including the
Fargo labor organizations. The party
was launched and is here TO stay.
This action at Bismarck puts down
line that makes it impossible for
the stool pigeons Of the republican
party to pose in their favorite role as
"progressives." They are forced to
choose either capitalist party or the
farmerlabor party. They are now
shouting from the house tops that all
this was cooked up by the Commun-
lists, thereby advertising to the world
the cleverness Of the Communists as
we'll as their fidelity to the interests
of the farmers and workers.
The league will meet in Bismarck
this month. A committee from the
farmer-labor party will be present
to ask the adoption OF the farmer
labor platform and the party. The
platform may be adopted but the
party will be rejected. The delegates
to this meeting are handpicked fol-
