LISTENING IN AT THE LADIES'
 AID. (WherC Everyone Talks at OncnA

Overheard by Julia D. Glettes.
 T was just telling Lucile about the breaking out on little Alice's face Her face is just covered with green and yellow stripes on a mauve background. and it has en- hroidcry around the edges. It's the sweetest thing l ever saw, Eleanor. I'm making one just like it for my cousin Edna. Shc wants to use it for a-salad dish, and l think it will go nice with the rest of the dishes, l broke my best platter the other day. lt might have been cracked but I'm pretty sure itS-mcaslcs, Lucille, though the doctor was afraid it was smallpox.
 Have you noticed Bcttys new dress? I think it's disgracoful! Ii comes halfway between her knees and-fudgo candy, with q marsh mellow on top. I'll give you the recipe, Mildred, and you can surprise your husband tonight with u nice batch cf-falsc teeth and pimplcs. If 1t wasn't for that I think Mrs. Gig shaw would be goodlooking. She dresses well. Yesterday she had on Il -~dishrag moiStcneI with furniture polish. 1t you'll try that on your I- bnry table, deer, you'll find that in the morning it will look likc---a pair of pale blue gartcrs with pink rib bon.
 First you take q cup Of flour, put In half cup Of sugar add a pinch of baking soda, then put in an-old pair of silk stockings. After darn them l always try them on--thc old man who delivers the groceries. Hes so very police and good natured. Only the other day he told me to- drop cigar ashes all over the rugs. I've told my husband about it time and again, but all he ever says is put it over slow fire until it comes to q boil. But before you add the cgG' be sure and-run it through the clothes-wringer and hang 1t out on the line. Then Whcm you're through it will look likc--tho breaking out on little Allcc's face. I wish l knew whether it was measles or small poX."

THE KHAN AND THE COCET

Efforts have been made by nu- merous puhlicists 10 dircoycr why the Iiu klux Klan so strcnuousy opposed American entry into the World Court. And here is what they found:
 The Klau, it appears, is "unai- terably o1posnI' 10 all foreigners and is opposed 10 "any amliaoon" with foreigners, even through a court. The World Court, according to tue Klan, is Il league Of "a.| kinds Of nations" including Caiho- lie nations in which prof"Stan's arc numerically strou" The Kan is opposed to dealing with foreign CTS, in or out Of a World Court

OUR UNpERpAD GOVERNOR

Says the Bridgeport Telegram'
 As q business institution
 tho state of Connecticut ia
 vast corporation collecting up.
 wards of 24 millions ot dollars
 year in taxes and expcnding
 a like amount in public works
 and the maintenance Of public
 institutions, Yet this business,
 vast as it is. is not the most
 important ot tho states actiN-
 ties.
 "In addition 10 ifs tax func-
 tons the state government is
 n law-makng and law admin
 lstcrlug body. IL has in i's
 charge the liberties Of the pco-
 pie nnd tho administration of
 justice --- trustoeship much
 more important than the col.
 lection of taxes.
 "Yet the man we elect to bc
 tho head and pilot Of this vast
 enterprise is paid salary of
 $i.500 a year. Tho dispropor-
 lion between the magnitude Of
 the job and the size Of the sal
 ary Is too obvious to need
 further comment"
 That Is one way or looking al It. Yet why should a governor Of q state be regarded in tho light Of q big business executive with a sal ary Of say $l00,O0O q year?
 There is honor and prestige in being governor. And it Is an honor and prestige much sought after. IL Is q job worth more than money, and the wages for 0lling Il are not to be compounded solely in the product of the t. S. mint.
 The salary Of the President ot the United States is considerably lcss than the salaries Of many business executives of concerns do- ing but a small fraction Of the business Of the United States gov crnment or handling but tthe of the money 1t handles. Yet who would think of refusing to be Pres ident because inc salary is not commensurate with the greatness of the office. A 19-year-old youth, Roger Kahn, q jazz music exponent, earns more than the President; and so do some film stars, even after their publicity managers stage money is subtractcd from their real earnings. Yet none Of these could be elected to the au- gust office of first citizen Of the land.
 There arc many thlngs in nfr that are worth more than IT. mIncy; and one Of these is tc so merit the confidence of fe,.ow citizens as to be the gov tnor of q state or the president of this nation.

DELEGATION TO
SOVIET RUSSIA
IS WORKERS aim
H o | d Conference in
Pittsburgh District

PITTSBURGH, Feb. is. - Trade
unionists of the Western Pennsyl-
vania are determined to learn the
truth about Soviet Russia even if
President Green of the American
Federation of Labor, is opposed to a
delegation visiting that country. A
conference of trade unions to send an
American trade union delegation to
Russia was organized recently with
active unionists as officers. The re-
dictionary business agents and paid
officers are doing everything pos
sible to prevent their membership
from learning the truth.
A few meetings ago the Pitts
burgh Central Labor Union with a
packed delegation concurred in
Green's letter. For a time this threat
ened the possibility of sending dele.
gate to Russia from Pittsburgh. The
membership is not of the same opin.
ion as their paid officials.
The last meeting OF the conference
received number OF additional dele
gates from locals and central labor
bodies from nearby towns as we'll as
many locals from Pittsburgh. Now in
place of one delegate the conference
is proceeding to prepare to send two
or more.

MiIitants Poll Big Vote
In Elections

NEW YORK, Feb. Is. - Waters
Union Local No. 1, in New York, is
the mainstay of the conservative in
ternational in that city. For years it
has been ruled by a conservative
clique led by William Lehman, who Is
the secretary of the organization.
Three years ago group of men
succeeded in defeating the machine
and electing their own candidate. This
group however proved much more des-
tructive to the welfare of the organi-
zation than the old machine. Those
would be" progressives only dis
guised their own corrupt and selfish
aims under empty phraseology. The
best proof Of the lack of sincerity on
the part Of these progressives is the
fact that they have split within their
own ranks over the division of spoils.
Forsake Reactlonary Machines.
The militant elements in the. organi-
cation having realized the mistake of
supporting one corrupt machine
against another, undertook Immediate

especially those who profess liberal
ism because 1t helps them to hold on
to job.
In the recent election of officers in
the union, the progressive rank and
file succeeded thru continuous agita-
ton to break up the solidarity of
the machine, so that a business agent
who has been in office for number of
years was defeated by a candidate
endorsed by the progressive rank and
file.
PropressiVes Poll Big Vote.
On the whole, the progressive rank
and file polled a strong vote altho
their activity in the union as an oppo-

back. The hope is expressed by the
leaders of the militant movement that

future will witness the growth OF the
union as militant organization in the

P ORTERS LEAVE
COMP ANY UNION;
FORM OWN BODY
Wage Increase Means
Little to Workers

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Not single
change in the agreement between the
Pullman Co. and its company union
for porters resulted from the social
ed wage conference held to forestall
bona fide union organization among
the workers. So report organizers for
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters.
No Change in Basic Pay.
The Pullman Co. did offer the por-
tiers an per cent increase in the
basic wage, now S67.50 per month.
But wage arrangements are not writ
ten into the company union agree
ments. The Pullman Co. also chang
ed the hourly mileage basis for ex-
cess mileage payment and succeeded
in making the hand-picked company
union delegates think they were get
ting further increase. Actually the
change wipes out any gain the por-
tiers might make by the per cent
basic wage increase. The porters
are so disgusted that they are join.
ing the real union faster than ever.
Two delegates refused to sign the
company union agreement despite the
prayer sessions with Perry Parker
grand chairman of Pullman Porters
Benefit Association, the Pullman com.
pany union. Bluffs and threats also
failed to more them. Three men sign
ed under protest. The Brotherhood
urged the delegates to fight for S155
per month basic pay; 240 hours maxi
mum regular work; conductors pay
for conductors work; time and hall
for overtime pay for porters report,
ing for duty whether sent out or not;
elimination of Filipinos put on club
cars as threat to the real union
right of porters and maids to join a
union without interference or discrim
nation against them by the company
Company Union Meets.
II Seventeen company union delegates
were those recommended by company
agents, as ballots from 16 districts
marked according to recommendation
proved. Most of the delegates repre-.
scented districts with few porters. The
conference had to be postponed for
lack of quorum and met with six
delegates missing from insufficient
votes.
