Amnesty Talked,
Not PrGcticed, By
Hungarian Rulers

BUDAPEST, Mar. 6.-The Hun
garian government, eager to assume
an innocently democratic air now that
it requires foreign credits from the
British Labor regime has declared an
amnesty for political prisoners.
1t is scarcely possible to liberate
the hundreds of Socialists and liberals
who met death under the White Ter
ror of this same Magyar government.
But the cabinet does not even appear
eager to carry its amnesty far beyond
the stage of paper decree. In mid
February, only 33 political captives
had been freed and of these, many
had virtually completed their sem
fences. What is actually happening is
that the concentration camps, which
have become a by-word thruout Eu-
rope, are being uprooted and the
Hungarian Socialists thereby released
are being placed under police super
vision.
Two Hungarian Social-Democrats,
Peidl and Garami, were sent to Lon
don recently to inform the British
Labor cabinet as to the existing con-
ditions in Hungary. It remains to be
seen whether they were successful in
persuading the Macdonald ministry
to hold aloof from financial support
for Hungary until some vestiges of
political right, at least, have been re-
stored.

Short Quits Libel
Suit Brought To
Defend His Honor

SEATTLE, Mar. 6.-President Will
liam Short, Washington State FEEDER
alton of Labor, and formerly secre-
tary, District 10, United Mine Work
ers, has reached an agreement with
Martin Flyzik, president District 10,
to withdraw his suit for libel against
Flyzik. The case arose out of charges
alleged to have been made by Flyzik
which Short interpreted as rejecting
on his personal honesty.
George F. Vanderveer, chief coun-
sci Of the Seattle labor legal bureau,
was instrumental in having the charge
es dropped. Miners cases against
George H. Rummens, alleged TO have
grossly overcharged the district for
legal services during the strike of
1921 and 1922 and Ernest Newsham,
secretary of the district until his re-
call early in 1928, will be prosecuted.

Miners STARRING
as Pits Are Idle

SYDNEY MINES, Nova sebtia,
March 6.-The failure of the British
Empire Steel Corporation to open
two Of their three mines in the sgd
ney Mines coal area after the sign
ing Of the Montreal agreement
leaves 1000 miners and families
faced with starvation. The miners
have not worked since Jan. Is, pre-
viously they worked from one to
three days a week. AS all union
relief has been stopped the men are
in a serious plight.
A mass meeting Of miners has tele-
graphed to the provincial and federal
governments for an allotment Of
$4,000 to meet the emergency.
The company claims that it costs
$5.45 to mine ton of coal from the
idle mines, and the highest price pro-
durable in Montreal is $40 per ton.
This time last year the company's
reserve supply was approximately
10000 tons. So far not a ton of
coal has been stored.

Nationalist Papers
In Bavaria SprOut
Up Like Mushrooms

MUNICH, Germany, March g.
Nationalistic newspapers and organ
izations are sprouting in Bavaria
these days like mushrooms. The re-
dictionaries are split up into so many
factions that each deems it neces-
sary to make its bow to the public
with a separate sheet or society to
demonstrate that it alone has the
unadulterated truth, and that it is
not the fault of the miserable fiasco
of the putsch of last November.
Won Kahr, dictator Of Bavaria, is
anxious to show that Ludendorff and
Hitlers are traitors; Ludendorff and
Hitler return the compliment to
Kahr. The "Bavarians" are ranging
themselves on one side, the "Prus-
SLAMS" on the other. And between
them are the recently organized Ger
man Workers Party, the Greater
German Peoples union, and various
and sundry other paper organiza-
tions.

Hungary in Grip
of Industrial Crisis:
Workers Are Leaving

BUDAPEST, March 6.--According
to a report of the trade union head
quarters, 6,046 workers have emil
grated from Hungary during the
past eight months, explaining their
decision by the industrial crisis now
gripping the country. This means
that 3.3 per cent of all Hungarian
organized labor has abandoned the
nation during the crisis.
The utter inadequacy Of social leg
islation under the Horthy regime is
given as primary cause for the
mass fight Of workers from Hun
gary. In case Of accident, for in
stance, the worker does not receive
compensation commensurate with his
decreased earning power; instead, he
receives an annual pittance, equiva-
lent to the value Of nine loaves Of
bread.
How severe the industrial crisis
has become is illustrated by the re-
cent struggle in the Hungarian metal
industries. The metal workers fatty
refused the employers offer Of s
per cent wage increase. They re-
minded the public that their peace
time pay averaged So weekly--a
niggling enough wage even then.
And now the same laborers are re.
ceiving 81 week, despite the fact
that living costs are far in excess

The Crook is Clever.
1t should be remembered that when
the 9th Congress Of the United
States made farcical investigation
Of Harry M. Daugherty and his chief
criminal Burns, the latter in order
to turn public attention away from
his own illegal acts, spread big
story in the news about his discovery
OF the perpetrators of the Wall street
explosion.
The latest stunt Of the desperate
Burns gang is an alleged confession
signed by a fellow named Ralph
Thurber in London declaring that he
had part in the Wall Street explo-
sion in 1920.
Thurber has implicated several
others, according to a telegram re-
ceived by District Attorney Banton
from Governor Smith. Banton is not

 No, not Santa Claus" said Mrs. Jarr. But if you knew whom I did see, perhaps you wouldn't be so care less about it. ou used to grow wild with anger at the sight of him."
 Did 1?' said r. Jarr. "oh, we'll, so long as you are pleased to see him, I'll hold no spites. Who was it ?" That certain young man who al- ways wore the fancy waistcoat and big watch chain across 1t and a watch charm that had been presented to him by his lodge. I'd better not say any more," she added.
 GO as far as you like," replied MT. Jarr. Did he wear a wrist watch?"
 "No, he didn't" snapped Mrs. Jarr. Well. if you want to know, 1t was Fred pinglebender."

 "Oh. yes. l remember now" re- piled MT. Jarr. That's the guy who borrowed the money from me to pay for the dinner he invited us out to-"

 "Oh, come now" replied MT. Jarr. Grace was fine little girl"

 "Oh, I have no doubt you think she's a very nice person!" cried Mrs. Jarr. But you say yourself she is a married woman with two children, and yet she stopped you on the street and made a show of herself" But you are married woman with two children, and you stopped | on the street to talk to an old beau" That's totally different!' said Mrs. Jarr, bursting into tears.

THE FALSE FRONT

Whenever MT. Boss is in-and watching
 The behavior of our friend. the False Front, is faultless.
 He arrives early, stays late and registers stern concentration on busi- ness
 Every instant of the office day.
 No one could doubt that he is a valuable employe-
 No one who sees him working when the chief is near.
 But just as soon as we are left alone.
 Just as soon as the spyglass of authority Is no longer trained on us, Our friend lays off his earnest dili- gence,
 Parks his concentration. He dashes out at o'clock sharp, Takes an indefinite time for lunch, And indulges in genial conversation with his friends, for as long as he. can tie up one of the office phones. His air of large. easy. pitying tol- erance For the rest of the "poor slaves" who keep on working, whether the overseer is watching or not,
 Is a psychological irritant of the first order.
 We don't like to appear mean or spiteful,
 But sometimes we find ourselves wishing
 That, while this mouse is playing, in the cats absence
 While he's Cutting up'' in the of- flee Phoning, or reading the newspaper, or matching pennies
 The boss would unexpectedly re- turn!
 The False Front really isn't a bad fellow at all, ;. And we don't want to see him lose his job;
 But maybe if he were caught just once at his little game
 He'd learn that there's no such thing
 As putting one over and getting away with it
 Permanently!
