The Capitol City cagesters are a slight favorite to defeat Bill Plickaitis' courtsters. John A. Cluney will do the whistle footing.
 Cadets Look Good
 The small speedy and aggressive Boys club Cadets who made the best showing of the tourney to date defeating their more experienced rivals, the Naugatuck Firemen, will be the choice to down the Journal Courier representatives of New Ha- ven in the second tilt slated for 8:30 o'clock. The Elm City five did not look any to ostrong in their ten point win over the West Haven Seasides last week. John Cluney vii lalso handle this game.

ANTI-UNIONISTS
FIGHT FOR MIN
GRITTY RIGHTS


of the anti-union employers, the Natl.
Assn. of Manufacturers, Feb. 81, laid
before the national labor board an
impudent demand that union repre-
sentatives be compelled to give the
boss the names of employees they rep
resent. Armed with a roster of I'M
ion membership, the employer could
provoke a strike and proceed uner-
ringly to deprive union workers of any
chance to regain employment.
The N. A.. M. brief, bristling with
court decisions against labor, was
based on the United Auto Workers
complaint before the board recently
charging that the Houde Engineering
Corp. of Buffalo refused to bargain
collectively. The Houde firm insist
ed that the union representatives re-
veal the names of union members,
which was refused. The firm refused
to appear at the labor board hearing.
The union-busting argument is but
tressed by choice quotations from
Johnson defending the workers
fright" to bargain individually with
his boss and declaring that 100 per
cent union shop contracts are con-
trary to Section Ia.
N. A. MS assault is part of the
bigger fight being made by non-union
bosses-and strangely enough by GER
tain pro-labor members of the Admin
istration-for socalled minority rep
resentation. Sen. Wagner, chairman
Of the labor board, has held that the
majority of workers in a plant have
the right to speak for all. The N.
A. M. position, backed by Donald
Richberg, chief NRA counsel, and Leo
Wolman, member Of the labor board,
is that a single individual, a company
union, representing a minority of
workers, and other groups have the
right to bargain separately. Such
rights, carried into practice, would
nullify collective bargaining, Sen.
Wagner has maintained.

SWEATED WORK
GET PEEP AT
BOSSES PAY

WASHINGTON-(FP) Acc an
hour codified workers now have a
chance to see what the "big shots"
get, in the federal trade commission
report to the U. S. Senate on salaries
and bonuses paid executives in 1928
SO.
Bonuses exceed straight salaries in
many corporations, the report shows.
Pres. G. w. Hill of American Tobac-
co got sos, 900 in bonus in 1882, in
addition to his 100000 salary, while
Vice-Pres. G. A. Penn glommed $751;
600 in bonus, and Vice-Pres. A. C.
Mower got $505, 900. At that time
tobacco growers were getting less
than the cost of production and Gig
arctic factory girls worked for less
than zoe an hour.
American Smelling & Refining
paid its chairman $100, 900 in salary in
1888. Anaconda Copper's chairman
got S214,00O, with the president on
the payroll to the tune of $20S,OOO in
1888, when most of Anaconda's job
less miners were wondering where the
next meal was coming from.
Coca Cola's R. w. Woodruff hauled
down anywhere from $4,000 to $780,
900 a year. Charley Schwab of Beth
lehem Steel was worth a mere $3.50,
600 to his company, in 1888, while
Pres. million Dollar Bonus" Grace
justified his title by getting $685.
900 in 1929 and $w1,015,000 in 1880 as
bonus. He is down now to a mere
S18O,000 salary.
Lammot du Pont. the powder max
er, must scratch along on $99,999, a
figure which cuts down his income
tax. Myron c. Taylor, big boss Of U.
S. Steel, has been whitfield down
from $250,000 in 1880 to a bare $780,
900 last year.
Amazing bonuses paid to Wool
worth executives contrast sharply with
the meager pay of overworked girls
in the IS and los. Pres. H. T. Par
sons got S637,OOO in 1882 while Is
other Woolworth bosses got more than
$4,000 each in bonuses.
Just as interesting were the omis-
sions from the trade commissions
figures. General Aviation, General
Motors, S~tudebaker and American
Can denied the commissions power
to get figures. These firms are big
f~avorites for stock market gamblers
Chrysler, Bendix Aviation, Union Oil
Yellow Cab, Dodge Brothers and
Sloss-Sheffield Steel were among
those who refused or failed to report
Andy MELONS Aluminium Co. OF
America did not report because its
stock is not listed on the N. Y. Curb.
although traded there and so tech.
nically did not come under the Sen
ate's resolution. Cities Service III
L. Doherty's outfit, Standard Oil OF
Indiana and A. g. P. also used this
loophole. Melons troopers Gas &
Coke said it was not engaged in in
terstate commerce, along with Allied
Chemical & Dye and other firms.
Unionists fighting for recognition
in Natl. Steel Co. plants at Weirton
will be interested to know that Pres.
E. T. "Shoot a Few" Weir got $149,-
900 in salary and bonus in 1890 while
J. c. Williams, president of Weirton
Steel, a National subsidiary, got
$4,000 in 1880 and 100000 a year
later. Some of this money went into
Williams country club, which he OPP
ened to his company union before the
company union election Dec. Is.

SUBSIDY
GRAFT is NEXT

the
country is still ringing with revela-
tions of airmail contract graft, Sen.
Black Of the Senate subsidy committee
promised Feb. 20 that the ship sub
sidy racket was next on the grill.
Forty of the As ocean mail contracts
are absolutely void" because there
was no chance for competitive bid
ding and because the bids were ar
ranged "by collision between the con-
tractors and the p~ostoffice depart
ment and the shipping board" accord
ing to Sen. Mcclellan, o., of Ten
nessee. 81 think l a say" he added,
Chat it would be difficult to find a
setup more perfectly arranged for
governmental graft"
Secretary of Commerce Roper has
appointed various shipping magnates,
many Of them holding lucrative mail
subsidies, IN a shipping subcommit-
tee Of the business advisory and
planning commission. They will rec
ommend future policies in connection
with shipping subsidies, which have
already reached a billion dollar total.
American Civil Liberties Union and
Walter White, secretary of the Natl.
Assn. for Advancement of Colored
People.
The Negro has no more protection
in this country than the Jew has I'M
der Hitler's Germany, Hays told a
Senate committee, Feb. 20. White
ridiculed the contention that assaults
on white women is the usual cause for
lynching of Negroes. Actually of g.
224 lynchings between 1889 and 1918,
only 523 of the victims were even ac-
cused by the mob of that offense.
White also attacked the argument
that lynching is a shortcut to justice,
due to the laws delays.
"The majority of the victims of
lynching mobs," he said, "are friend
less, penniless individuals, wholly
without political or other influence
which might aid them in escaping
punishment of crimes with which they
are charged or of which they are sus-
pected."

The figures told a paradoxical tale
of Democratic fortune in two of the
States where the party organization
exerted itself, Pennsylvania and New
: Mexico.
~ Accompanying the topping Of the
veteran Senator Reed in the Key
stone State, nominees for the House
on the Guffey- for Senate ticket polied
I1.3 per cent more of the total than
their predecessors of 1882. The vote
for House members there exceeded the
2 1882 presidential vote by 10000.
At the same time, in New Mexico,
: where the Democratic machine was
r. belatedly ano fruitlessly geared to
oust cenator Cutting, its favorites
for me House aggregated 12.1 per
cent less of the House total than two
years previous.
> In lifting their strength from 314
to 322 Representatives, the Democrats
accounted for 56.32 per cent OF the
total vote involved to 43.69 for Re-
publicans. The latter, with 116 seats
last session, came out with 103 and
the Farmer-Labor party retained only
three of its five.
Loss in Midwest.
Six-tenths of one per cent was the
measure of loss in Democratic popu-
larity in the Midwest, as evidenced
in the tabluation, while the industrial
and Eastern Seaboard States accorded
President Roosevelt's party "a per cent
more and the Far West AZ per cent
more of the total than in 1882. The
South, where Democratic primaries
so frequently provide the only real
contest, gave thst party's nominees
78.1 per cent of the total, or IL per
cent less than two years ago. ~
Gains were shown for the Demo-
Gratis in eight Eastern States and
for the Republicans in four. The
largest gain for the Democrats was
in Pennsylvania and for the Repub-
Icans per cent in Maryland.
Half of the IL Midwestern States
showed gains for the Democrats, while
the other half showed Republican
gains. The largest Democratic gain
was 3.8 per cent in North Dakota,
the largest Republican gain, 6 per
cent in Nebraska.
OF the II Western States, seven
gave gains to the Democrats, the
largest 1877 per cent in Montana
Four gave gains to the Republicans,
the largest having been in New
Mexico.
The largest Democratic gain in the
13 Southern States was that OF Vir-
ginia, with 1877 per cent.
Interest Higher.
~ Interest in the election of Repre-
sentatives was high in some States
as shown by their larger total vote
than cast two years ago for House
members. This was the case in
Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Kan
sas, South Dakota, Wyoming, North
Dakota and California. In some
Southern States the vote was less than
half what it was two years ago.
Spirited senatorial and guberna-
torial races in some of the States
were in part responsible for the
larger vote for members of the
House.
The total vote for some Senators
and some Governors was larger than
that for the members of the House
in their States, so the total vote for
House members does not represent
the aggregate vote cast in the country
in the election for comparison with
the total Presidential vote two years
ago of 39,734,351.
