WEATHER DEFERS
ELECTRIFIED TRAIN
Runs To and From New York
on Pennsylvania Lines to
Start in February.

Unfavorable weather has held up
the Inauguration of the Pennsylvania
Railroads new electrified train service
between Washington and New York
City and it now looks as if this will
be deferred until some time in Feb
ruary, j. G. Nettleton, the carriers
representative here, said today.
Some unlocked for technical diff
culties experienced in installing elec-
trical circuits along the right of way
also have caused delay, Nettleton said.
The exact time in February when the
new service will start has not been
determined. Originally. the railroad
hoped to begin running electrified
trains between the two cities on jan
uary !.
Work Train Makes Run.
A few days ago, Nettleton declared,
a work train was run over the electri-
fled lines as far as Baltimore, but none
has yet come to Washington over the
new system. Some of the major trains
will be cut In on the electrical cir
cults first, the railroads spokesman
here said, and then gradually all pas
senger trains will be shifted over to
the new program. Electrif1cation of
the freight lines will come later, go
to 80 days after the passenger system
has been electrified.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has Just
started construction at its Altoona,
Pa, shops Of % additional pairs of
two-unit trains, to meet the needs Of
local service between Baltimore and
Washington and around New York
City. These are known to trainmen
as ~htde and groom" cars, which are
special types designed to meet the
needs Of local service In electrified
zones and operate In pairs.
Contain Own Motors.
One car Of each pair Is self pro-
PEELED unit carrying its own motors,
while the other Is trailer, exactly
similar, as far as passenger accommo-
dations are concerned, but without
motors, the railroad explained.
Traffic requiring longer trains Is
accommodated by connecting together
two or more pairs, so that trains Of
any desired length may be made up.
Some Of these bride and groom" cars
are already In operation in the New
York area and have proved SO popular,
said the railroad, that 1t was decided
to place % additional pairs in serv-
ice between Baltimore and Washing
ton, and also to increase service in
and out Of New York, when electrifi-
cation Is completed.

ENTERTAINMENT
FOR CCC CAMPS
First Vaudeville Troupe Will Visit
Hinckley Yellow Banks Camp
December s6.

The CCC camps of Minnesota will
be furnished with a winter circuit of
vaudeville entertainers, the first
group of which will present a show
at the camp east of Hinckley Thurs
day, December 26.
The circuit is being sponsored by
the Works Progress Administration
and actors and actresses are trying
out for positions preparatory to the
opening The ones who will enter
tain at Hinckley have been in re-
hearsal since November 80. There
will be IL in each company of enter
tanners, nine men and three women
singers, dancers, musicians, magi-
clans, whistlers and joke-smiths-all
performers from the theaters and
night clubs, who have come upon lean
days in the entertainment business.
The purpose of organizing the

only gives employment to segment
of the "white-collar" class. for whom
work is hard to find, but it also adds
diversion for the boys in camp on
long winter evenings. The vaudeville
units are being organized and re-
hearsed in st. Paul under the direc-
ton of Miss Enza Alton Zeller, who
states, I'VE are aiming at one goal;
we want the shows to be poppy. but

S12,S4O of WPA money has been APP
proved, it is announced by Supt. pei

will cast their ballots for acceptance
or rejection of the proposed addition.
The cost to the district has been

issue is necessary as the treasurer
has sufficient funds to pay out $4,000
for building purposes and still meet
all the other expenses for the bal

Finlayson has for many years felt
the need Of an auditorium large
enough to seat all who come to wit

Capitalist newspapers are more or

could illustrate the inconsistency of
these newspapers more than the man.
ner in which they have handled pub
licity and editorial comment on re-
cent strikes in Minneapolis. ut-i
When Meyer Lewis arrived upon
the scene in Minneapolis to still the
troubled Industrial waters in the
states chief metropolis. the reaction
airy papers were unanimous in their
approval of his coming.
The Long Prairie Leader described
it as "a campaign move by the
Federation union officials to clean up
the Minneapolis unions of the Red
leadership said to predominant in
many of the unions" Similar boosts
for Mr. Lewis and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor are to be found in
the editorials of practically all of the
Twin City daily newspapers as we'll
as in many other old party organs
in the state.
The conclusions to be drawn from
these editorials are that the A. F. OF
L. and it's representatives were con-
Quoting the business of trades union
ism upon an entirely legitimate and
proper basis. If the Minneapolis un-
ions could only be purged Of the Red
element, as it was termed, then en-
ployers and employees in the Mill City
would get along beautifully together.
Lewis Approved Strike.
1t seems. though, that this conclu-
sion is hardly warranted in view Of
later developments.
Right now, and for sometime past,
there has been a strike on at the
Strutwear Knitting Company's plant
This strike was presumably conducted
by the Red element, too. but when a
crisis in the negotiations between the
union and the owners of the plant was
reached, Mr. Lewis took hand. He
placed his stamp of approval upon
the strike.

NEW FARMER
DEBT SERVICE
County Adjustment Committee has
Been Appointed by Federal Re.
settlement Administration.

Confirmation of the appointment
of John S. Percy, Pine City, Geo. W..
Empey, Hinckley, and Christ Morgen-
sen. ASkOv, as a county Farm Debt
Adjustment committee to assist in the
federally supervised Debt Adjustment
Service was received from r. l. Now
ell. regional director of the Resettle-
ment Administration at Madison, Wis,
this week.
The above members of the Pine
County Farm Debt Adjustment COM
mittee have agreed to offer their
services without cost to worthy farm
ers who have debt problems.
In general, the debt problems of
farmers are of two kinds: First, those
where the debt load is not excessive
but must be refinanced; second, where
the debt load spells insolvency and
loss of the farmers chance to make
an Independent living for himself and
his family. -.
The Resettlement Administration
can not itself refinance farmers real
estate Indebtedness but where the
debt load is not excessive, it will help
the farmer to secure refinancing
through other Independent agencies.
The farmer facing insolvency will
find the County Farm Debt Adjust
ment committee willing to act as a
voluntary mediation board, attempt
ing an impartial adjustment of his
Indebtedness to an amount which he
can carry and which will be fair to
the creditor.
Where a farmer makes written ap-
plication for their services, the local
Debt Adjustment committee will study
his financial situation, suggest what
should be done and assist him in
solving his debt problem.
Blank forms for making applica-
tions for this service may be obtained
at the office of the county agent, the
County Rural Resettlement supervisor
or from any of the above named mem
bers of the Pine County Farm Debt
Adjustment committee.
