AND NOW JOCKEYS
GET PAY SLASHED

Cincinnati, Ohio-Racing jockeys,
believed immune to ravages of the
period of "readjustment" in Ameri-
can big business, began this week to
feel effects of the crisis" Reduc-
tions in pay will be in order despite
spirited protests by the boys and
their friends. The announced reduc-
tions, averaging about 80 per cent,
will be hard blow to the jockeys,
if sustained. 1t is believed that the
boys will be forced by conditions to
take the cut because hundreds of idle
"jocks" crowd the tracks all over the
nation waiting for a chance to ride.

Legion Hunt For Jobs
Found Work for Million

Atlantic City, N. Matthew Woll,
who represented the American FEEDER
alton of Labor in the War Against
Depression campaign recently, COM
pleted by the American Legion, the
Association of National Advertisers
and the A. F. of L., reported that the
campaign had been a success in so far
as it had resulted in obtaining
100000 temporary or permanent
jobs. However, he said, it could have
been a much greater success had the
original object been attained, to have
100000 employers each take on one
additional worker.

(. FAIL
Accused Pair Take Stand
as Defense Witnesses
Fail to Help Them

LA PLATA, Md, Nov. 80.
James Zalenski and John
Wallace, both Of Baltimore,
on trial in Circuit Court here
charged, with the murder Of
Grover Amick during raid
on the Old Colonial Teahouse
at Bladensburg, Md, on No
vember %, 1881, testified to-
day in their own defense, de-
nying any connection with the
crime.
Both stated emphatically they
had not known each other prior
to meeting in the Jail at Upper
Marlboro, last June.
Zalenski and Wallace took the
stand after the defense had
failed through a large number OF
witnesses to prove an alibl for
them or show their good
character.
FOFSeCS Fata1 DaCc
Zalenski admitted that he had
the use of a Buick roadster such
as that used on the morning Of
November %, when the raiders
visited the Tea House and
attempted a hold-up which re-
suited in the death of Amick.
He testified that the car was
the property of Lee Lawrence, of
Baltimore, and that he borrowed
it on occasions. He was not sure
whether he had used the car on
November %, 1881, and could
give no account of his activities
on that date.
Unaware Of Crime
Zalenski said he was arrested on
June IL and it was the first he
knew about the Tea House case,
except what he had read in the
paper. Asked why he could not
remember what he did on the
date in question. he replied:
'It's long time from NOvem-
ber to June. i couldn't even re- 1
member what / did last Decem-
ber. Anyhow, had no reason
to remember"
Zalenski declared he had never
seen Thomas Simone, the States
star witness, who testified yester-
day, until Simone came to the
Marlboro Jail. He also denied
knowing Joe Hoffman, Joe Reno
and a man named Indian Nuts"
whom Simone \Said accompanied
him inside the Tea House to hold
it up.
Zalenski denied he had ever
met Wallace and discussed a
holdup with him and asserted he
had never been to the Old
Colonial Tea House.
On cross SS-examination, he ad-
mitted he was known as Jimmy
Buns and that he also had
used the name of James Burns.
Wallace Knew Inmates
Wallace, who classified himself
as a taxicab driver, admitted he
knew Jean Gordon and Mae Dix,
who testified against him yester-
day, and that he had taken
