NORWALK MAY GET NEW POST OFFICE
AllocatiOn of $4OO, 900 for Site Being Considered
 in Washington

Washington, D. C.. June 3O--Al. location of approximately stOO,- 900 for q site and new federal building for Norwalk. Conn.,, under the deficiency appropriation bill ia being considered by the procure ment division of the treasury do. partment and will likely ba on the next list of projects assigned for construction. according to Senator Lonergan. Connecticut.
 Norwalk was passed over on the list announced by the treasury on Monday, the senator said, because of the amount of money involved In the project. Only .one.third of the deficiency appropriation was aHailablo for the first list oe projects, and the procurement di- vision decided to spread this sum as much as possible by selecting smaller projects and thus cover . larger area.
 In addition to projects at Bristol, Plainville, Danielson, Meriden, Westport and Torrington, which were already cleared for action bee fore the dehciency bill was pass cd, officials had announced on Monday that Fairfield, New Milford and Thompaonville had been clear. cd for immediate construction. Fairfield is to receive something less than $l00,00o for site and building; Now Milford approxi. mately S70,000, and Thompsonviile something less than $D6,000.
 Controversy over location of the new post otiice in Norwalk held up the project there for more than two years, Senator I.onergan said. The economy act then came along and delayed the public buildings projects. the program being later placed under public works, which made very few allocations except for a few uncompletcd projects. The deficiency appropriation was to provide funds to complete the list of approved projects, including Norwalk, but only one-third of the monoy we mmediately available.

IT'S A GREAT SYSTEM
Montana labor news., 1934-11-01
Clergy Hits Profit System

The iniquities of our present industrial sys-
TEN, operated solely for maximum profits, with
its idle rich on the one hand and destitute mil
lions of jobless and their dependents on the
other, is receiving not only emphatic condemna-
ton from the organized labor movement but also
from prominent churchmen.
Declaring that the profit motive controlling
those who own and control our industrial system
will mean greater concentration of wealth, the
Very Rev. John w. Day, dean of Grace Cathed-
raj, of Topeka, Kansas, in an address to 1000
young men and women attending a mass meet
ing of the general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of Atlantic City, declared that
the profit motive animating those who own and
control our industrial system will mean great
concentration of wealth with all the evils in
herently connected with such an %iniquity. AS a
substitute for what he called Capitalism" DR..
Day advocated a new economic system, based
upon use instead OF profit" He also urged pub
lie ownership of all public utilities including rail
roads. He added that war is inevitable until we
have a socialized economic system.
The present economic system was also scored
by the recent General Conference of the Evan
gelical Church, at Akron, Ohio. The conference
adopted the report of its committee on the
family, public morals, temperance and the Sab
bath, which included the following statement:
"Any system which leads to the concentra-
ton of wealth into the hands of the few, while
the great masses have less and less, makes for
national ruin. Any system with the profit
motive as its sole impetus is far from the
Christian ideal. The present structure stands
condemned and must be rebuilt. Only through
an adequate process of experimentation can
these needed changes be effected"
In addition to the condemnation of the chur-
ches, this a%trocious system of maximu profits
was under fire by the recent convention of the
American Federation of Labor at San Francis
co. Confronted with the plight of the army Of
100000 unemployed, thrown out of the fac
tories by the Shylocks who own them, the con-
v%ention, without a dissenting vote, declared that
when private business is not able to resume its
normal functions, then society is / forced to take
over the means of production" and put the "un-
employed back to work producing wealth."

solely for the maximum profit which can be
wrung from the people, regardless of the social

Hopkins Reports
Steady Increase
In Work Relief

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-Th num-
Der of unemployed on emergency re-
lief work has increased steadily since
March and now numbers approx
mately 100000 a month out of some
100000 families, according to Federal
Relief Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins.
He said that he would put all relief
cases on relief work if there we're
money enough, and that FERA engi-
neers had plans ready whereby $780,
600 could thus be put to work in two
weeks.
Hopkins estimated roughly that re-
lief workers we're averaging about $40
a month for the support Of each fam
lily. The whole average for the coun-
try, including both direct and work re-
lief, is $23 or $24 a month per family.

TVA Social Experimentation

The increasing OPPOSITION of electric light and
power profiteers to the far-reaching develop
ment undertaken by the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority gives added interest to President Roose-
velt's visit, in November, to the Muscle Shoals
project, which will permit the nations Chief Elk
ecutive to see for the first time the swift reali-
cation of the social experimentation which he
had in mind a year and a half ago when he an
nounced as one of his detectives national plan
ming for a complete river watershed involving
many States and the future lives and welfare of
millions"
Under the policies of the IVA, a demonstra-
ton fertilizer plant is nearly finished at Muscle
Shoals, where millions Of dollars of Govern
ment money have remained tied up for a long
period, two large hydro-electric power dams are
practically completed, electric current at unheard
of cheap prices is being supplied to small towns
and rural regions, a 100000 transmission line
is rapidly nearing completion, remedies for soil
erosion are underway, land planning and refor-
e~station are progressing, young men in large
numbers are receiving vocational education, and
comprehensive research work is moving forward
to determine the industries most appropriate for
the region by the Muscle Shoals plants.
It is said that the IVA directors DR.. Arthur
Morgan, DR.. Harcourt f. Morgan and David E.
Lilenthal = believe in the principle of public
ownership of power plants. Whether this prin-
ciple be right or wrong, the men managing the
social experiments are animated by zeal for the
Muscle Shoals project and are enthusiastically
supporting the yardstick established by order Of
President Roosevelt, the object of which is to
III H. TNTA ..4o-..:a ..a4 1oIo-.Ao-.
where the Federal Government can ascertain
how to generate and sell electric power %efficien-
fly and at rates so low as to make its broad use
possible.
The ultimate object of the President was ex-
pressed in his speech at Portland, Oregon, in
September, 1882. He said the fact that a COM
munity could vote to create a %yardstick of its
own, will, in most cases, guarantee good service
and low rates to its population"
Evidently visioning the now manifest deter
mination of certain reactionary investors to
block by court procedure the extension of the
IVA project, the President added:
Never shall the Federal Government part
with its sovereignty and control over its pow
er resources while am President Of the United
States"
IVA officers expected to have the huge 1884,
100000 Norris Dam on Clinch River and its COM
panion, the 100000 Wheeler Dam on the Ten
nessee River, near Muscle Shoals, ready for in
spection when the President makes his visit.
Students of judicial procedure are of the opin-
ion that the courts will uphold every element
of the iva to bring electric light and power in
to the urban and rural communities throughout
the vast territory within transmission distance
of the mammoth dams under control of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.

5th Anniversary
Black Thursday
Brings Memories

NEW YORK, October "a marked
the fifth anniversary of BLACK Thurs
day"
On Oct. "a, 1929, occurred the great
est stock market collapse in all history,
one OF the most sensational byproducts
Of the breakdown in industry and dis
tribution.
On Oct. rs, 1929, President Herbert
Hoover asserted that "the fundamental
business of the country-that is, the
production and distribution of COM
modities-is on a sound and prosper
Gus basis" AS he spoke
We had already entered a depression
that shows few indications of abating
after five years.
Hoover's statement came the day
after the most hectic excitement in the
business world. 1t was his first sign
Of recognition of a situation which had
confounded business.
Yet, ga months before, indications Of
the collapse of Americas Sound bust
ness structure were apparent:
One month before his statement, the
stock market was jittrey;
The latter half of September saw
stocks tumbling h~eadlong, stopping
only for short, tantalizing periods;
On October 6, Standard Statistics re-
vealed that aircraft, automobile, auto
parts and accessories, auto tires, build
ing and building materials, and copper
industries were declining;
On October IA, at the beginning of a
three-day conference of the National
Association of Manufacturers, it was
announced that eight of their manu-
featuring classifications- automobile
accessories, chemicals, furniture, iron
and steel, paints, oils and varnishes,
rubber and ceramics-showed decided
losses;
On that very day, Secretary of Com
merce Lamont denied rumors that a
severe depression in business and in
dustrial activity was impending, which,
he said, had been based on a mistaken
Interpretation Of a Federal Reserve
Board review of industrial conditions.
On the day that President Hoover
made his optimistic statement, the
