Fat Salaries for Big
Census Bosses; Jobs
for Political Heelers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The
biggest pork barrel of all is about
to be preached in Congress. 1t is
estimated that 100000 census jobs
will be ready for assignment to
friends of the Congressman.
Jobs will range all the way from
house to house canvassers, for the
local machine heelers, to big juicy
directorships and superintendent
offices, for those who have done
real service in getting out the vote
Supervisors will get flat salary
of $4,000 for part of years work
plus bonus of 81 for each thousand
population in their district. plus
four cents for each farm. This II
addition to what they will be able
to make on the side from chambers
of commerce and others anxious t.
have certain facts suppressed.
The bill to start the census will
be in the senate soon. The work is
supposed to start May !, 1880. but
the higher officers will be drawing
salaries long before that.

Bill to DepOrt Foreign
Born Workers Arrested
for Strike Activities

WASHINGTON, Jan. so (UP),
The House immigration Commit
tee today reported favorable the
Blease undesirable alien bill.
Under provisions of the bill any
alien who re-enters the United
States after deportation, when con-
vieted of more than one federal law
violation, or convicted of one or
more violations entailing two
year prison sentence, would be de-
ported.
Under the Blease bill, any foreign
born worker convicted after frame
up in a strike, or perhaps only for
violating federal injunction against
striking, could be deported. 1t is
intended to greatly strengthen the
terror in the mining, steel, meat
packing and textile regions, where
attempts to deport militant unionists
are a usual event in strikes.

SENATE ANGRY
over EXPOSURE
Vote for insult Agent
Thinking it Secret

/ WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The
senate again today seethed with in
dignation for an hour or so against
the person who made public the vote
on the confirmation of Roy West, as
secretary of the interior.
West has been such notorious
hireling of the power trust headed
by insult, and as secretary of the
interior is in such good position to
grant power sites to his friends,
that a vote for him is equivalent to
ia public participation in any graft
scandal that develops in his depart
ment before March.
Thought Vote Was Secret.
The senate took the vote in "exec-
utive session" and as good agents of
big money, the senator's voted, as
they thot, in secret, to put Insults
man in the cabinet. They are
naturally furious because the record
was published. Most of them pre-
face their remarks with statement
that Il never objected to having "
vote public" but they are very angry
/ for one reason or another that it is
public.
"Honor, If He Ever Had Any"
II can't imagine a senator SO far
forgetting his honor if he ever had
any, as to let the roll call become
public, without also making public
4 the votes which preceded it." said
Senator Caraway, Il think we ought
to abolish the rule because / don't
want to put premium ON a man
without honor; whoever let this out
must have gotten something for it,
some kind of reward. To my mind
he is worse than Benedict Arnold"
Senator Bruce, DEM, Nd, again
suggested that ce-President Dawes
could ask each senator in executive
session whether he gave out the in

ton would be an insult to any sem
ator.

SANDING LOSES
AN AGENT AND
GAINS A LESSON
Turcio S, Intellectual,
Turns Betrayer

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Jan.
30.-Again it has been proven that
the armed struggle of peoples op-
pressed by imperialism cannot rely
on bourgeois elements, by the
treachery, though not unexpected,
of Sandino's representative here,
the bourgeois intellectual and au-
thor, Froylan Turcios.
Turcios recently sent SANDING a
letter saying that it was sufficient
if the marines left, to permit the
traitor Moncada to remain in the
presidency and continue the same
fiction of independence that is now
inflicted on the people of Cuba. Now
Turcios has resigned" rather than
to subscribe to the fighting plans
of SANDING, which plans were dis
tasteful to his tender bourgeois soul.
Turcios does more. He exposes
the plans of SANDING to the forces
of Yankee imperialism. These plans,
if Turcios' story can be given credit
at all, were that SANDING would Of
fer to surrender his arms to Mon
cada, if all marines would be re-
moved from the four northern pro-
vinces. But he would surrender
only a part of his arms, his men
coneealing the major part in the
mountains and going to work as
agricultural laborers on the planta-
tions, but ready at call from San
dino to drive Moncada from power.
This plan Mortified the intellec-
tual Turcios, who evidently thinks
that war should be polite affair
between gentlemen. So he resigns
and betrays.

British Plot TO

(Wweless BIZ "Inprecoqr" }

MOSCOW, USSR, Jan. S0.-The
Pravda points out that events in
Afghanistan are taking a change,
and that it is very possible that
the carefully laid plans of the great
British agent provocateur, Col. Lswr

query of Saklatvala in the House Of
Commons concerning the attitude of
the British government toward Ba-
cha Sakao, the leader of portions of
the movement which Lawrence rails
