ers swept upstairs and entered the
chamber of the parliament through
the strangers gallery. The speaker,
frightened by the onrush OF workers,
adjourned the meeting and members
fled to adjoining rooms, barricading
doors behind them.
Men, women and children beat off
police attack with sticks and stones.
The workers broke up furniture,
chairs and desks and defended them
selvse with the remnants. Women
broke windows and threw typewriters
and furniture at the fleeing police.
Before Sir Richard made his es-
cape the crowd threatened to throw
him into the harbor. Only two weeks
ago the workers threatened to throw
him out Of window If he refused
to order increased unemployment re-
lief.
After Sir Richard was struggled out
Of the building he was defended by
q fat priest, the Rev. Puppy, who
took the side of the bosses and po-
lice against the workers. Puppy ap-
pealed to the workers to starve
quietly.
Masses Of workers then proceeded
to the home Of the Prime Minister
where they held a meeting demand
ing that he resign.
Meetings were held throughout st.
Johns and resolutions adopted de-
mand immediate relief for the starv-
ing.
Shortly before the demonstration,
the government reduced the food ra-
ton of the unemployed to $3.50 per
unit per month. The resolution
adopted by the workers stated the
reduced ration was not enough to
maintain life. They demanded an
immediate increase in relief and the
resignation of the premier.
The police and government forces
are reported in state of demoraliza-
ton and the government leaders have
mobilized fascist veterans associations
to act as police and help put over
the starvation program.

DECISION DELAYED

pected to Wait Until After
Christmas.

Following another executive session
TODAY of the Senate Economy Commit
tee. it appeared virtually certain that
decision on what will be done regarding
salaries of Government employees for the
next fiscal year will not be brought out
of the committee until after the Christ
mas holidays.
Chairman Bingham Of the economy
group said further meetings probably
would be held during the holiday period.
however.
It also seems likely the TreaSury-Post
Office supply bill, to which the general
policy on salaries and other economy
proposals will be attached will remain
in committee until after the Christmas
recess.
The Oddie subcommittee handling
the Treasury-Post Office bill, has called
on the Post Office Department for in
formation that it will take several days
to gather. The Treasury-Post Office
money items and the salary recommen-
dations of the Economy Committee Tor
the entire Government service, there
fore. are not expected to be laid before
the entire Senate Appropriations Com
mittee until after the holidays.
The House has started out on the
Treasury Post Office bill with policy
of continuing the 8ls per cent furlough
for Government employees for another
year. While the Senate group is consid-
ering some alternative proposal that
might mean slight additional cut,
coupled with restoration of promotions
within grades, there is no final deci-
sion yet.

COMMISSION ASKED
TO APPROVE FERRY
Chesapeake Beach Railway Makes
Request to Maryland Serv-
ice Group.

The Maryland Public Service Com
mission has been requested to put its
stamp of approval on the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Co.'S proposed ferry SER
vice across Chesapeake Bay, which mas
been the subject of litigation for more
than two years.
The application filed by the company
makes plain, however, that the railway
company believes it already has the
right to operate the ferry and that the
consent of the commission has been
sought merely to place that right be-
yond the realm of all future litigation.
The proposed ferry would cut the time
required by WashingtonianS to reach
the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
In statement announcing the fill
ing of the application with the Mary
land Public Service Commission, Eugene
Fox, executive vice president of the
railway company, said:
'"The carrier already has. by virtue
Of the certificate of public convenience
and necessity for the ferry extension
granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and upheld by the Su-
preme Court of the United States, the
undeniable right to construct the extern
sion. It also has, at the very least, the
right to handle all interstate traffic.
This interstate traffic would include au-
tomobiles moving via the ferry from
points in Maryland to points in other
States.
THE only objection that could not be
raised relates to the right Of the ferry
to handle, without further State au-
thority, automobile and passenger trafhc
originating and terminating in Mary
land"
Mr.. Fox says the railway is firmly
convinced it already has this right, but
is making its application to the COM
mission so as to maintain friendly and
harmonious relations with State author
tiles.

SNOW has resulted in a marked falling

However, the bureau is kept busy
with calls from people physically un-
able to work. While the burden Of the
family welfare and relief agencies has
not been lightened to any appreciable
extent by the snow-shoveling jobs,
Chest officials said, this work unques-
tionably prevented an additional burden
being thrown upon these organizations
incident to the Wintry weather.
Many Temporary Jobs.
Families who never before were
forced to seek help have applied for aid
in large numbers recently, according to
Bureau. This condition exists also at
the Emergency Relief Committee head
quarters. which is distributing Board
of Public Welfare funds allocated by
Congress from District appropriations.

The pinch of Federal economy, it was
disclosed today, was extended even to
the 1,O79 men recruited from the ranks
of the unemployed to dig Washington
out of its deepest snow in 10 years.
These men, who were paid on late
yesterday, found II per cent less IN
the pay envelopes than had been prom
ised, due to the application of the Fed
eral economy act to the basic wage
scale of As cents an hour.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor and budget officer, explained
that the deduction was necessary be-
cause the men were taken on as regular
per diem laborers, and, as such, were
liable to the provisions Of the economy
act. He said he had an Interpretation
of Controller General McCarl to sup
port his views.
It had been thought previously that
all the economy act meant to per diem
workers was that they would be al
lowed to work only five days a week.
This, in itself, reduced the pay II per
cent week. None Of the men tempo
rarily employed for snow removal, how
ever, worked as much as five days.
On the subject Of per diem workers.
the economy act says: "The days OF
work Of a per diem lpfhcer or employe

receiving compensation at the rate
which Is equivalent to more than 81 600
per annum, shall not exceed five days
in any one week;
"And the compensation for five days
shall be ten-elevenths of that payable
for q weeks work Of five and one-half
days."
Mai. Donovan said the McCarl inter-
pretation stipulates that the per diem
rate of compensation of per diem
employe will be one-fifth Of ten
elevenths Of the former regular weekly
(515 days or A hours) rate Of compen-
sation of employees and the hour rate
will be one-eighth (8-hour day. OF such
per diem rate"
This language Is interpreted by Mai.
Donovan as requiring the II per cent
cut in the pay of the snow shovelers.
A total of $732.2o was deducted from
the pay of the 1,079 men who received
wages yesterday, and today $133.53 was
taken out of the envelopes of 288 other
temporary workers. Altogether the Dis
trict paid the men $7,490.32, and the
amount deducted was returned to the
Federal Treasury to the credit Of the
District.
The loss suffered by the men in each
case was less than 81.

NICHOLSON'S RETURN
TO FORCE IS ASKED
Bill introduced by Chairman Nor
ton of House District
Committee.

Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee today introduced a bill
to reinstate George NJ Nicholson as a
member of the Washington police force.
Nicholson was dismissed November
%, 1929. when he was found guilty by
the Police Trial Board of being the
father of an illegimate child. He pro-
tested his innocence at the time, and q
short while ago an investigation by the
Office of the corporation counsel de-
veloped that the real father of the child
later had admitted his paternity and
married the mother.
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride rec
commended to the District Commission
ers that Nicholson be reinstated and

recommendation to Congress. An act Of

door. notified police.
Just Burns Him Up.
"I don't mind giving a fellow some
thing to help him out" Hale explained,
but it just burns me up to have any
body try to take anything away from
me by force. It made me mad when
that guy pulled a revolver on me. and I
made up my mind to get him-or get
shot trying!"
Hale, who lives at 5000 M street,
said lie was alone when the youth
entered and asked for a package of

and rushed him. I must have moved

crouch when l knocked the revolver

youth said he was "Spud Harris" IT,.
He refused to state where he lives, but

He was booked for investigation.
Gunman Screams in Pain.
Pensos reaction to the command to
hand over his money was about the
same as Haje's. Penso, undaunted by
