UNDER COVER AGENTS
 WORKED THREE YEARS
 IN SECURING EVIDENCE

CHICAGO, Oct. 19 (P) m The United States government has fin ished the presentation of it's mass of evidence intended to show that "Scarface" Al Capone, the worlds most notorious gangster, was guilty of income tax evasion.
 The sudden resting of the prose cution's case soon after a noon re- cess was regarded as considera bly, shortening the anticipated length of the trial. The court records now bear the results of three years of investigation by scores of under cover operatives.
 When the skein of evidence is knit together in the final four hours of argument the court will allot each side the government hopes to convince the jury that Capone must go to prison.

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

Winter is approaching and the chiIdren's school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income in the regular way. Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag" plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter. This means that each employee will have about half as much in come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in keeping with the "zigzag" income There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more monly than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money i'll the sav- ings bank drawing 3 per cent in terest. While it is true that money was put there for rainy day. it isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $2O or $40 or even $100 of that wouldn't go very far on rainy. day. lie needs more money coming III.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer ican. He knows that many a man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed. But Bill knows there is some speculation with every in- vestment, no matter what 1t is or how good it sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being q true American ana realizing that nothing risked, nothing gained" he likes to take a chance Bill is cautious fel- low and wants to speculate, but he doesn't want to lose his money.
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed" promises and impractical guarantees that flood the mails and seeks out a chance to specu- late with the safety of flowing oil we'll to fall back on if the we'll he bets on turns out to be dry. If the new well comes in big, Bill should make profit of 10 times his investment. II he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, over period of years, twenty times larger than the savings bank interest And he has the speculative chance of making real fortune if the new we'll comes in good. He wants to speculate with his fingers crossed, as it were, and that is exactly what he does when he accepts our spe- cial Pool offer, and shares in one gusher while we drill for another.
 Write us for full information, but better still-mail us $40, $100, or even $2OO, and share in our next dividend. If you are like Bill Jones, we might help you. F. M. ThOmassOn & Co.,. Inc.

EVICT ILL BRONX
WORKER TWICE
Tammany Ruthless in
Backing Landlords

NEW YORK.-The full force of
Tanimany's courts was put behind
the eviction of Samuel Rosin, Al
683 East 18th Street, an unemployed
photographer, when the workers fur
nitufe was thrown upon the streets
second time.
The previous eviction was resisted
by the Unemployed Council Of the
Bronx and the furniture replaced.
Then upon application of the land
lord the 161st Tight Court supplied
the cops for the second eviction.
Rosin has been unemployed for
year and has sick wife and child.
He has repeatedly appealed to the
police and the Jewish Welfare Society
for aid only to meet with insults and
refusals His wife tainted when she
was produced by the insolent ques-
tioning at the welfare" society.
The Tammany sheet the Bronx
Home News maliciously reported that
Resin received aid, implying he could
have paid rent.

OSS PAINTERS CRAM THEIR
BELLIES; PAINTERS GET SOUP

great deal remains to be done -.
and it is only by continuing in the
same spirit that progress will be
made E. ="
Worst to Come
Indeed, with the help of the A. F.
Of L Painters Union, much has been
accomplshed-unemployment, speed
up, worsened conditions, wage-cuts,
either secret or open and admitted.
But in the same spirit, he said, much
remains to be done-the painters still
at work can have their wages cut I'M
til they live on breadline handouts
too, and hours can be shunted up to
maybe twelve. Indeed, when the
painters uncomplainingly let the
bosses starve and speed the mas they
do now, so that those bosses can
swill in luxury as they do now, surely
the bosses are excused if they think
things are going to be easy to put
over.
But the painters won't stand for it
always. Let them get in touch with
the Building workers Committee Of
the Trade Union Unity Council, 16
