FAVOR PAY RISE
FOR POLITICIANS
(By Worker Correspondent

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 15.-While
tens of thousands of workers tramp
the streets and appear before the fac
tory gates seeking a job the politi-
clans at present convened in the New
Jersey State Legislature in Trenton
are seeking to feather the nest of
their friends thru proposals for in
creases in salaries. Many appoint
ments have been made to office on
the part of republican and democratic
politicians.
In the present session of the N. j.
state legislature the following in
creases in salaries have been pro-
posed: an increase from $4,000 to
$4,000 in case of the governor; COM
mission of education from $4,000 to
$4,000; circuit court judges from
$4,000 to $4,000 yearly; gan ,eep-
ers to $500 per year in End class
counties and to clerks of the grand
jury in counties totalling population
of 100000 to salary of $4,000 a
year.
This is the line of action our legis-
lators propose when starvation and
unemployment is at its height: wage
increases to politicians and their
lackeys and no relief for the workers
out of jobs walking the streets hum

WOMEN CLUBS BUY
DEFENSE BONDS

The campaign Of the Joint Defense
and Relief Committee of Cloakmakers
and Furriers in the selling of mem
bership certificates in the Workers
Self Defense is developing successful
ly, according to report from the JOINT
Defense office.
In addition to the pledges made at
the meeting Of the dressmakers' sec
ton of the Trade Union Educational
League several branches of the
Working Women's Council have al
ready bought a number of the $40
membership certificates.
These certificates entitle the buyer
to membership in the Workers Self
Defense, an organization composed Of
workers who are willing to loan mon
ey to see that the left wing wins the
struggle in the needle trades, and sue
ceeds in again establishing strong
unions. Especially urgent is the need
for the money with which to pay for
the legal expenses involved in the
furriers' Mineola case. Even if the
appeal on this case is granted, the
expense of a new trial must be met.

An indirect threat by officials of
the marlborough was made yester-
day that injunction proceedings may
still be sought to protect an increased
fare move should decision favor
able to the company result next Mon
day in the case of the three anti-7-
cent-fare injunctions now pending
before Justice Glennon.
City officials, it was announced,
countered this threat with the warn
ing that an immediate revolution
of the packed in "sardines" who ride
the subways would be the result of
such a move. Reference was made
to the near riot which occurred Tues
day evening at the Time Square sta
ton when several thousand subway
riders who had been mauled beyond
endurance, suddenly rebelled and with
cries of Down with the fare rails
ers,s proceeded to rush the turn
stiles.

JOURNALIST BACK
FROM HONDURAS

Charles Yale Harrison, New York
journalist, who was forcibly pre-
vented from entering Honduras on
his way to Nicaragua where he was
to report General Augustino's activ-
tiles for a newspaper syndicate, re-
turned here yesterday aboard the
SIS. blanche, a banana freighter,
from Puerto Cortez, Honduras, where
he said he was held a prisoner in
communicate under armed guard for
three days by order of President Mi
guile Paz Barahona of that country.
Last night Harrison made public
a letter of protest which he sent to
Frank P. Kellogg, secretary of
state, in which he referred to the
indignities to which he was subject
ed while held prisoner aboard the
ship. The blanche flies the Hondu-
ran flag.

mo sane person would think for
a moment" Harrison declared, "that
any Of the Central American gov
ernments all of them virtual Amer
lean protectorates, would dare to
make an overt move against an
American citizen travelling with an
American visaed passport unless the
state department sanctioned such a
move. Apparently the much-vaunted
protection of American rights in
Central America applies only to
rights of investments and imperialist
adventures"
Appeals radioed to the American
Legation at Tegucigalpa, the capital
Of Honduras brought nc results, Har-
rison said. and lay J'oA, the Amer
lean consul at Puerto Cortez declared
that he could do nothing to aid him
because of the political situation.
For three days, Harrison said he was
under strict military surveillance
with four armed guards Immediately
outside his stateroom.

18th st. and Second Ave-, called by
the Pennsylvania Ohio Colorado Min
ers' Relief Committee, 100 Broadway.
The hope of the striking miners, who
are relying solely on relief for sus-
tenance, is focused on the conference,
which is expected to form a center
from which an intensive relief drive
in New York and vicinity will be
launched. The Workers International
Relief is cooperating with the COM
mittee.
Miners Send Emissaries.
A. w. Sabatini, a striking miner,
and striking miners wife and two
children will arrive in this city to at
tend the conference. Sabatini will
bring a message from the local unions
and the miners wife will tell of wom-
ems work in the strike and make an
appeal for the relief of the starving
and ragged children.
After the conference, she will in all
probability remain in the city week
to address women's organizations.
The call to the conference has been
sent to all trade unions, workers
clubs, benevolent societies and frater-
nal organizations, but the list fol-
lowed was incomplete, and the Miners
Relief Committee requests all organ
izations interested to apply for Gre
dentials.
Others Collect Relief.
Eighty-four dollars were collected
for the striking miners at a perform
ance of Breaking Chains" at the
Queens County Labor Lyceum in
Ridgwood under the auspices of the
Workers International Relief, Union
Square. The appeal for funds was
made by a striking miner and by Fred
G. Biedenkapp, national secretary of
the Workers International Relief.
Twenty new members were enrolled
in the Workers International Relief
at mass meeting for miners relief
held recently at the Bronx Labor Ly-
ceum. The new members constituted
themselves section of the organiza-
ton and regular meetings will be held.
More than SAG was collected for
miners relief at a dance last Satur-
day night held under the auspices of
the Bronx Young Workers Culture
Club.

Those who were unable to get copies
eagerly borrowed from their shop
mates, and the men have since been
talking about it. Many of them ex-
pressed their intention of writing to
the fMascots" letter box.
The welcome which was given "The
Mascot" was due to its faithfulness in
depicting every day life in the shop.
Even the comparatively small item of
drinking water was taken up in the
paper.
Speed-Up System.
The main article was on the speed
up system which is beginning to be
introduced. There was also an article
on the case of Bob Morrison, who was
fired after seven years in the shop
for fighting the speed-up. A copy of
the union minimum wage scale was
published and every worker made a
comparison between his own slim pay
envelope and the union rate for the
corresponding type of work. An ar
ticle on the temporary short work
week for Brewster men demanded the
Al hour week with the same weekly
wages as at present.
Expose Old Parties.
The discussion of the sewage scam
dial in Queens brought home to the
workers that the two old parties are
equally corrupt. What the workers
of Queens and of the whole United
States need is labor party, solidly
based on the trade unions, to protect
and fight for their interests, the pa
per said. Other such articles will
appear in future issues.
The name of the paper, "The Mas
cot" is taken from the figure which
appears on the engine head of every
Rolls Royce car-that of a flying
Diana. AS this is the most precious
thing in the shop, it makes an APP
propriate name for the shop paper.
"The Mascot" is the latest addition
to the growing family of shop papers
