the capitalist papers think that the

Newman, according to TIL"

and would arrest "the leaders of

At the same time, Hamilton Fish

He picked up an ancient, ruSted re-

brushes the working class with the
burdens of the economic crisis while
the bosses buy expensive yachts and

Stopping the driver of milk

Immediately returned home with the

In a few minutes policeman who
had witnessed the incident followed
him and arrested Paternostro. An
examination Of the revolver showed
that it was unloaded and that it
would not work even if it was loaded.
In Coney Island court Paternostro
was held in $500 bail on charge of
violating the Sullivan law. He was
held without bail on a robbery charge,
although rich murderers are always
permitted bail. But Paternostro had
violated the sacred right of property,

ready to punish him to the limit.
Many thousands of workers are in

The day before Christmas four

About ten days ago, the Daily
Worker, various proof of bank con-
ditions by Wall Street experts. point
ed out that there would be at least
100 bank failures before the end of
the year. This was following the
crash of the Bank of the United
States. Thus far there have been
nearly go bank failures, and there is
very little doubt, at the rate the
bank failures are reported in the
capitalist press, the 100 will be ex-
ceeded. The most important fact
thus far is that during the past two
weeks such large banks as the Bank

branches, and the Chelsea Bank. &

been among the failures.

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS
FOR WEST POINT ACADEMY

Announcement of a vacancy at West
Point Military Academy in 1881 was
made today at the office of Congress
man William A. Pittenger. Mr.. Pit
tenger states that he will request the
U. s. Civil Service Commission to con-
duct competitive examination in con-
nection with this matter so as to OBJ
tain scholarship ratings of all eligible
young men In the Eighth Congression-
al District who are interested in this
proposition.
Those desiring information should
communicate promptly with the Con-
gresham at his Office, Room 348 House
Building, Washington, d. c., so that
they may be supplied with regulations
and other material issued by the War
Department.
When Mr.. Pittenger was elected to
Congress, he announced that it would
be his policy to hold Civil Service ex-
aminationS in connection with West
Point vacancies; and, in this way, en-
deavor to secure young men of the
highest scholastic attainments.
Last fall, he conducted competi-
tive examination for candidates for
the Naval Academy at Annapolis and
reports that the results were highly
satisfactory. Under this plan, fav-
oritism, political influence, and other
factors are not considered. The plan
is fair and impartial and gives every
boy interested chance.

the fundamental conditions of the
country are sound.
AS for Duluth and vicinity, the iron
ore industry is operating at only 1870
below the record lake shipping year of
1929. The Minnesota Steel Company
is operating at 800 of capacity and
the Universal Atlas Cement plant at
1000. The Zenith Furnace Company
of the Interlake Iron Corporation is
producing as usual. The Minnesota
Power & Light Company is spending
nearly 100000 in expansion and i'm
provements. The Northwest Paper
Company has just begun the expendi-
ture of $1,500,000 to enlarge its paper
manufacturing plant at Cloquet.
There is extensive new grain elevator
construction in progress in both Du-
luth and Superior. The crop prospects
over the Northwest are good for the
time of year. The times may not i'm
prove right away, but there seems
reason to believe that a definite up
turn may be experienced early in the
closing autumn, and which will be re-
flected substantially throughout the
country.

CONDITIONS FAR FROM BAD.

The times are not as bad in Duluth
and vicinity as some seem to think.
The is some unemployment, and
doubtless always will be, elsewhere as
well as here, but the times are far
from bad. Perhaps people are not
spending money as freely as formerly,
some Of them not having as much to
spend, and others are inclined to thrift
during period of quiet of nationwide
scope. What is needed here and else
where is just plain confidence.
Many seem to think that the present
relaxation in industry and business is
something never before experienced.
At least they talk that way. Industry
and business have taken many of these
relaxations, and this one is by far the
most moderate, and contains the least
menace, of any in the past half CEN
fury. Those old time relaxations were
called depressions, and they were all
Of that. The present conditions are
more aptly described as relaxation, for
