BANK NEWS

Are times getting better in NJ. H.

banking amount has increased $3.50
over last week. Last week 231 pu-
pills banked $4S.95 and this week 27O
banked $53.45. The following rooms
did especially we'll and made 1OO90:
Mrs. Nemish, Mr.. McGinnis and Miss

Mrs. Derrickson with 96.96% of the

and Mrs. Harrington's room of 1928

of people to bank and also in the

near FELTON,, and Houston School.
He spent four years at each of
these institutions. Ernest has tried
his hand at many sports and has
been very active What would We
do without him in class basketball'
That is a question because he has
been faithful to our team for four
years and he would have left a gap
which would be hard to fill.
Ernest is very interested in foot
ball and he has been one of those
who has made it possible for our
school to turn out a winning foot
ball team. He has been steady and
never skipped practice. He worked
hard although he was never a regu-
lar. We are sorry Ernest found it
impossible to play football this year.

WILMINGTON'S DOLLAR DAY

More than one hundred leading
retail establishments of Wilmington
will participate in the Official
Spring Dollar Day, to be held in
that city, Wednesday, February 10,
1892, under the auspices of the
Mercantile Section of the Chamber
of Commerce it has been announced
by that organization.
This event is the 37th semi-an-
nual Dollar Day sponsored by the
Chamber of Commerce in Whining
ton. The Mercantile Section and its
committees have been working for
months preparing to make this the
greatest Dollar Day ever conducted
in the city.
Special effort has been made to
encourage shoppers to visit the city
next Wednesday, and share in the
great bargain festival"
Emphasis is placed by the Mer-
camille Section on the fact that only
the stores displaying uniform win
dow cards and price tickets of dis
tinctiVe color and bearing the Off
cial emblem of the Chamber of Com
merce, are officially participating
in the event. Other stores, however.
are unotiicially observing the day.
1t is emphasized that bargains
will not be limited to dollar items.
Others of higher price, due to the
value or nature of the merchandise
as represented in every line of the
retail business, are proportiOnately
reduced in price on Dollar Day.
Explaining the purpose of Will
mingtOn's Official Dollar Day,
George c. Kaehn, chairman of the
Cooperative Sales Committee, says:
Dollar Days in Wilmington have
BECOME a permanent institution, ar
ranged solely for the purpose of Of
fering our local merchants an op-
portunity to demonstrate to the
shoppers that WilmingtOn's shop
ping and merchandising facilities
are thoroughly capable of giving
prompt and courteous service and
honest values in merchandise of ev-
cry description. To gain this OPP
pOrtunity to meet personally the
shoppers of our rural trade area,
the merchant members of the Cham
ber of Commerce designate twice

merchandise at greatly !educed
prices, which mean material saw
ings to the shoppers"
So great have been the crowds of
shoppers which throng Whining
toms stores on Official Dollar Days
in the past that practically every
store has been compelled to in
crease its sales force to give prop
er assistance to customers.
Realizing that thousands of auto
mobile parties of shoppers from
nearby and distant rural sections
will visit Wilmington for the event,
the Mercantile Section has arrang-
ed with the Bureau of Police, De-
partment of Public Safety, of the
City of Wilmington, for special
parking privileges for visiting shop
pers. A Courtesy Parking Coupon"
will appear in the copies of the
Wilmington Shopping Guide.
which will be distributed during the
week before Dollar Day. Visitors are
urged to clip the coupon and paste
it upon their windshields. This will
insure that they are extended every
courtesy and aid while in the city.
Chairman J. Wales Davis, of the
Mercantile Section, comments on
the event by offering the following
statement: Nothing has been left
undone, either by the Section as an
organization or by the merchant
members officially participating.
The event has been given wide pub
licity. Special parking privileges
have been arranged for our visitors
from the rural sections, and extra
sales forces are being employed by
merchants to give at
tentive service to patrons. The stage
is completely set. 1t is the desire of |

The challenge issued by the Communist
Convention in Chicago and supported by the
Daily Worker in its issues of June End and
Bird, has forced the Socialist Party Mayor
Hoan of Milwaukee to answer. The denun-
Citations of the Socialist Party policies and
practices carried in our columns has compel
led Hoan to change front with regard to
the challenge On May 31st the Milwaukee
Leader quoted Hoans secretary as saying
that his chief was not aware of the issuance
of the challenge. But on June Bird Hoan was
forced into the open.
1.-Hoan says that he has mot the time
nor the inclination to fight the workers or
any of their organizations" Coming from
the head of the Milwaukee City government
which sent police to break the heads OF the
workers demonstrating against starvation,
his statement is plain lying. We have al
ready proven in our columns the violence
against workers of the socialist government.
We further charge that in December, 1881,
the Socialist Party sheriff of Milwaukee,
Benson, purchased a new lot of riot guns.
Was this stacking up of guns intended as
decoration for socialist picnic? Or will
Hoan perhaps tell us that it was intended
for use against the Milwaukee milllionaires?
Or was it because the socialists have neither
the time nor the inclination to fight the
workers or any of their organizations 2"
2.-Hoan further states in tone of right
eousness, ''My time is taken up in fighting
capitalism" Hoan does not dare to appear
before the Milwaukee workers to prove this
statement. Is the alliance of the Socialist
Party with the American Federation of La
Dor for wage cutting and strike breaking
the flight against capitalism" which Hoan
means? Was the carrying through of IS

trade workers the flight against capitalism
which Hoan means? The socialists are not
fighting capitalism. They are the third
party of capitalism. The platform of the
Socialist Party does not call for the over
throw of capitalism. The only system which
they wish to overthrow is the system OF
workers rule in the Soviet Union Of which
they are deadly enemies.
3.-Hoan finally says that he regards 1t
as criminal waste of time for workers or
CARNATIONS to fight each other" Here
the honorable mayor is just posing. Here
Hoan is trying to present the Socialist Party
as workers party. This is the latest trick
of the socialists in order to make an appeal
to the workers of America that are becom-
ing radicalized.
In this statement Hoan tries to pose
as being for unity Of the working class.
Nothing is further from the truth. The Com
munists charge that the socialists are dis
rupters of the unity of the working class,
land when elected to office they fight the
workers as bitterly as any Republican or
Democratic official.
This Foster Will prove in his opening cam
paign speech. Foster will further prove
that only by the fight against the reactionary
leaders of the "A. F. of L. and the Socialist
party, which is posing as workers party,
can The fighting unity of the working class be
achieved.

Dictatorship
of Five Proposed
in u. S. Congress

WASHINGTON, D. c. June A.
Another step on the road to an
open fascist Government was taken
in the House when Representative
Black, Democrat Of New York,
proposed to create Recovery
Committee" to function after the
adjournment of Congress with full
power to coordinate all laws and
suspend operation Of any law deal
ing with economic subjects.
Representative Black introduced
a bill to this effect specifying that
the Committee is to be composed
of President Hoover, former pres
ident Coolidge and ex-governor
Smith. beside one Democratic Re-
preventative and one Republican
Senator.
Ostensibly the Committee is to
be charged With the task of work
ing out the economic rehabili-
tation of the United States Such
a Committee would be in effect a
fascist super-government similar
to the fascist Grand Council
existing in Italy.
