full coincidence in the movement may be found in
the events OF 1929, when the working men were first
united on similar principles, that philosopher OF the

seeds thus sown, may be found in the present dlsor-

statement published by the government journal at
Washington, it would appear that under the new law
the revenue of the Post Office Department is falling
off from thirty to forty per cent great many per-
sons fear that this falling off will create revnlson
IN the public mind, and lead to repeal Of the law
by the next Congress. We hope this will not be the

Improvement might be made by reducing the com

department, under the system, will be fairly
tried, and that It's results for far will be Justly
