MACHADO HENCH-
MAN HELPS WOLL
ON LSSCH

WASHINGTON Up Matthew
VOLTS effort to use the entire trade
union movement to rehabilitate him
self with Pres. Roosevelt, through the
presidential birthday balls, is caus-
ing increasing concern in trade union
circles in Washington. Attempted
corruption of the labor movement
was the strong phrase used by one in
ternational union representative, COM
menting on certain phases of VOLTS
scheme.
After months of attacks on Roose-
welt and his policies, Vol beat a hasty
retreat after his Carnegie Hall meet
ing flopped m%iserably in New York.
He got H. L. Doherty, master utili-
ties racketeer, to be chairman of the
national committee of the president
ial birthday balls" to be held Jan.
30 in a thousand cities. Some of the
proceeds go to Warm Springs Found
alton, Roosevelt's pet philanthropy for
paralytics.
VOLTS publicity man is none other
than Carl Byoir, former U. S. pub
lie relations counsel" for Gerardo
Machado, deposed Cuban dictator,
Byoir ran a couple of sycophantic
Machado English-language newspap-
ers in Havana and had a Machado
propaganda office in New York. His
income from that source cut off by
Machado's overthrow, Byoir has found
a good substitute in pushing VOLTS
presidential balls, at an unannounced
salary.

The girl operators of the local Of
flee of the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company announced
that they have been given a 30-hour

would amount to $5.75. The operators
have signed an agreement under these
conditions to be effective for one year.
This is the first signed agreement in

adjusted wage scale under NRA condi-
tions. The girls are to be compliment

Missoula Roosevelt Ball
a Labor Affair

Word comes to the Labor News that
the Roosevelt Ball in Missoula is a
labor affair. The Central Body of
that city made the first plans for
sponsoring the Ball. Later when the
Chamber of Commerce and Civic
Clubs decided to go in for such a cele-
bration, these organizations voted to
cooperate with Labor since Labor
had almost completed its plans for
the Birthday Celebration. The dance
is to be held in the Labor Temple.

SLENDER
FOR SEEKERS
Of PAROLES
Board Cites Failure to Get
Funds From Congress;
Staff Held Inadequate

Few prisoners will be paroled
from the District penal inStitu-
tions in the next fiscal year.
This is the inference drawn by
members of the Parole Board
whose requests for half a dozen
assistant parole officers and three
stenographers was turned down
by Congress.
The number of paroled pris-
oners who have to be reported
on monthly is now far too great,
in the opinion of all members
of the board.
Their Duty Noted
The members, Chairman W. w.
Bride, DR.. Emmett Scott and
Wilbur La Roe, have agreed
among themselves that, although
Congress refused to appropriate
money for a large parole staff,
nevertheless they will remain on
the job to help the Board of Com
|missionerS with the parole and
penal problems as far as possible.
Chairman Bride said today:
"T think we have a public
duty to remain as q board to
handle the situation as it comes
up. We have no actual ap.
preparation from Congress any
how. Our three employees are
q secretary, q chief parole Of
ficer, and an assistant parole
officer whose salaries are paid
from the funds Of the penal
institutions.
LA ROE TO STAY
1--WE now have 26O parOled
prisoners. We have one officer
whose duty il is to keep in
touch with these men, get
monthly reports from them,
and either visit them or have
them call once a month at the
office. This is more than can
be well done with one man."
Wilbur La Roe, parole board
member whose resignation was
expected last week, said today he
had been influenced by Chairman
Bride to keep the board intact
at least for year. He said that
Congressional economy would keep
lot of prisoners in Jail who
might be released on parole if
there had been more parole Of
ficerS.

later minister to Peru, described
methods of producing staple
farm products in the South
