FARLEY ADVISED
On D, {. JOBS

John F. Costello, Democratic
National Committeeman for the
District of Columbia, has been in
consultation with Postmaster Gen.
etal Farley, Attorney General
Cummings, and Secretary of Com
merce Roper relative to local pat
ronage.
At present, national affairs so
overshadow local affairs that prac-
tically no attention is being paid
Washington offices which are to
be filled under the new Admin.
istration.
It will be a week or 10 days
probably before active steps are
taken to approach the President
with the names of the prospective
candidates for the local political
plums.
Expects Recognition
Costello and his cohorts are ex-
pected to play an important role
in the distribution of patronage
as, the old-time wheel-horSes who
kept the cart of Democracy out of
the rut when traffic was going the
other way.
While all this activity was 60
ing on, Col. Robert N. Harper, for
mer president of the District Ma
tional Bank, started little boom
of his own for George H, Offutt
jr., attorney at law. and a native
Washingtonian, to be Commits
Sioner.

There are two baby jaguar cubs
at the zoo.
Both are males and both, ac-
cording to their proud mother and
DR.. William M. Mann, superin-
tendent, are everything a two
week-old jaguar should be.
The babies, born March 9, were
brought out from their box nur-
sery for the first time yesterday.
The mother was gently "shooed"
out of the cage and DR.. Mann
fetched the youngsters out. They
are blind little beasts, about the
size of a half-grown kitten and
beautifully polka-dotted with
brownish black spots.
The father jaguar, who has been
excluded from the nursery, saw
them for the first time yesterday.
He will not be put into the cage
with them until they are old
enough to be regarded less in the
light of appetizers for his morning
meal. The paternal feeling is en-
tirely lacking in the male jaguar's

TRUANT AGENTS
BAR PUPILS IN
VACCINE ROW
Parents Claim Youngsters Are
InnocuIated; School Board
Says Otherwise

Six burly men, under orders
from the board of education,
barred entrance at the Thomson
School to an 8-eight-year-olds girl
and her younger brother. The
board insists the children have
not been properly vaccinated.
The children are Barbara, 8, a
second-grade pupil, and David,
age s, a first-grade pupil. Their
parents are Mr.. and Mrs. H. H.
Entz, 1900 block Thirteenth st.
N. w.
The children have been i'll the
school since September. Since
that time quite a bit of CORE
spondence has passed between
school authorities and the parents
on the subject of vaccination.
Finally Sent Home
At 9 o'clock today when the
youngsters attempted to enter the
school they were barred by truant
officers. Under direction of their
parents the children stayed out
side the school for almost an
hour. Policeman Frank Stroman,
detailed to the school to prevent
trouble, found the children Shiver-
ing from cold and sent them
home.
They later reappeared with
their mother. The father was
attempting to secure services of
an attorney in an effort to force
officials to permit the children
in school. Mrs. EntZ said:
BOARD ADVISED
1--WE do not believe in vac
cinatiOn but to comply with
the law we had the children
vaccinated by a private physi-
clan last September. There is
nothing in the law that COM
pels a re-vaccinatiOn and that
is what they want us to do
now"
C. K. Kinckel, principal of the
school, said the case is now in
the hands of Robert L. Hay
cock, assistant superintendent Of
schools. It is understood that
the school board has obtained
legal opinions from the Districts
legal staff before it took today's
action.

P. j. c. VIEWS
TROLLEY ZONE
PROPOSAL
Worth Trying ExperimentaIIy,
Commission Thinks; Idea
Suggested by KeeCh

Possibility of adoption for a
trial period Of the S and 10 cent
zone fare system on local street
car lines appeared near today
after a discussion of the matter
by the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
No formal action was taken Of
the matter, but the commission
issued a statement in which 1t
said a tryout of the system IS
being considered.
Difficulties Confronted
The statement added:
"While there are evident diff
ficultieS in the advOcatiOn OF
mixed fare system in Washing
ton, it is possible that it may
be worth trying experimentally.
"The idea would be to inter
sperse these scent cars among
regular fare cars in such way
as not to interfere with the
schedules now in force and to
try this system out for an ex-
perimental period. OF course
the scent fare cars would carry
signs enabling them to be read
lily distinguished"
The plan would provide 5'cent
fare for short hauls," while the
regular fare would continue IN
force on longer rides.
This plan was suggested
September 2, last, by Peoples
Council Richmond B. Keecn
who has suggested the plan al
various times since.
Advantages Cited
The commission is now expected
to discuss the matter with the
heads of the local traction COM
panies in an effort to get the
companies voluntarily to try the
system.
Summing up the possible advan"
tages of the zone system, the
commissions statement added:
"Short routes with a five
cent fare, with the higher fare
on, through cars, would allow
these latter to be operated
without picking up SO many
short haul passengers, and
while there might be a loss Of
revenue on the through lines,
it is is"pOssible that it would be
compensated for in part by
reducing the through service
and also by an increase in the
number of riders on the short
haul lower fare cars"

NEW YORK CITY, work in a
metal factory, the General Instru-
ments, at 225 Varick St The boss
bought a new machine which could
have made our work easier. Instead
of that he fired many workers, and
made those who are left speed up
and work overtime.
There are two kinds of workers.
those who are time workers and get
paid the same amount no matter how
much they are made to do, and those
who are piece workers.
The boss has q system OF speed-up
for the time workers, and many of
them have to work overtime, for
which they get very little pay For
instance, one worker worked four and
half regular days and two days
overtime. For regular week her
salary is $3.50; but since she worked
two days overtime she only got $3.50.
On the other hand, the piece
workers used to get so cents for 100;
now they get 25 cents for 100. Often
they have no work TO do after lunch
time. They are idle in the shop and
do not get paid for this idle time.
In the summertime, all the work
ers are speeded up and the place is

More Funds from Districts
Outside of New York Needed
to Garry Daily Thru Crisis
Totals Tuesday Drop; Intensive Activity Of AL
Districts Needed to Save Daily"

Tuesday witnessed a drop in Daily
Worker donations. The total for the
day was $63729, or almost $500 less
than was received on Monday for the
weekend. This shows that workers
are not yet awake to the danger
threatening the Daily in this cru
cial week.
The major reason for this come
down is the let-up Of work on the
part of the districts throughout the
country. on whose aid the Daily
Worker depends now more than at
any previous point in the drive. With
New York carrying the main bur-
den of the emergency collections,
there can be no hope of a successful
elimination of the Daily Worker
campaign-unlesS the big middle
western and western districts come
through.
In Tuesdays contributions, how
ever, New York supplied two-thirds
of the total: S409.78. Milwaukee did

The rest of the districts failed to
hit the $40 mark, many sending only

day in succession the International
Workers Order did not contribute a

Again we must stress that the life
of the Daily Worker depends on the
most intensive activity on the part of
all districts during the next few days

After an anonymous donor Of 500

additional $25, if it were matched,
the Club itself decided it would
match the pledge. Whereupon Ed

the same conditions. This sum was

Morgan Interests Out

Govt Subsidy
PART OF WAR PLANS
Keep Merchant Marine
Going at Huge Profit

WASHINGTON, March L.
A fight in the Senate yester-
day Inadvertently let the cat out
of the bag. Senator Black of
Alabama spoke against the
mail subsidy of $10,000,00O to
the U. S. Lines which in turn
are controlled by the Inerna-
tional Mercantile Marine, and this in
turn he showed is controlled by j
P. Morgan and Co., and the Chase
National Bank.
Bandits Fall Out.
Senator Reed attempted to force
the issue through for Morgan inter-
ests and Black tried to stop the bill
until the new Roosevelt administra-
ton comes into power in order tC
get this fund passed on to shipping
interests which he supports, and in
cidentally, interests which support
him.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union has for a long time fought
against this mail subsidy system
which in some cases is so great that
ships carrying it make huge profits
without carrying any cargo or pas
sengers. The mail subsidy is one Of
the means of keeping the Merchant
Marine going in preparation for its
use in the coming war. The govern
ment for the last ten years has been
extremely liberal to the ship owners
substituting them both up to 80 per
cent of the cost of their ships, CIV
ing them liberal loans which I'M
doubtedly will never be repaid, ano
the mail subsidy as we'll.
Brings Out War Plans.
This fight in the Senate over the
spoils and for patronage brought
forth the war plans of the U. S. gov
eminent and its preparation for war
With seamen starving on the
beaches throughout the country ano
with the government claiming itself
too poor to provide for them, it may
sound strange to some that the gov
eminent has plenty of money tt
help the ship owners. This, however
only brings to light once more that
this is class government which car
find plenty of money for the ship
owners and none for the starving
seamen.
