charged conductors are alleged. to
have hammered dimes to the Width of
a cent. so that in passing through the
fare box they register as a. cent—a
clear profit of nine cents for the con-
ductor. The method used to beat the
company. it was said. is this: The
conductor gives the flattened dime out
as change. handing it tr: the passenger
in such a manner that the passenger
will drop it into the fare box: or else
the conductor gives the change to the
passenger minus the dime. and drops
the dime himself into the fare box.
The company discovered that it was
being beaten, it was said by B‘CCident.
One conductor put in a. thin dime once
too often. and it caught in the fare
box. putting it out of ordep Repair
’ men who took the box to pieces dis-
covered the fiattened dime. and “SDOt-

was caught “with the goods," and on

his name was posted with this after
it: “Discharged."

It is largely through the goods car-
ried by hand that markets in the

Lcnine's insistence that the govt.“-

support of the intelligent classes is
generally regarded as a preparation
for further movements to the right in
governmental policies as soon as it is
possible to make them without dis—
rupting the Communist party utterly.
The Communist party is rapidly be-
coming a party in the sense that the
l’nited States and England have par—
ties. Its important leaders show daily
signs of making further concessions
to the hostile majority which will have
nothing to do with Communist princi-

as the confession plan of letting fac-

They were built for Russia in the
world war and were used by the Allies
at Archangel and in the White Sea
during the occupancy of the Archan-
gel district by American and other
Allied troops.
it is said that their names will be
changed to Lenine and Trotzky. They
are among the largest ice—breakers in

to break the ice around them by roll-
ing'as well as by pus‘flhg through the
ice ahead of them.
