J., Feb. 15.—While tens of thousands of workers tramp the streets and appear before the fac- tory gates seeking a job the politi- cians at present convened in the New Jersey State Legislature in Trenton are seeking to feather the nest of their friends thru proposals for in- creases in salaries. Many appoint- ments have been made to office on} the part of republican and democratic politicians, In the present session of the N. J. state legislature the following in- creases in salaries have been pro- posed: an increase from $10,000 to $20,000 in case of the governor; com- mission of education from $10,000 to $15,000; circuit court judges from $16,000 to $18,000 yearly; jail ncep- ers to $3,500 per year in 2nd class counties and to clerks of the grand jury in counties totalling a population of 500,000 to a salary of $6,000 a year.
