ANTI-PICKETING CASE
Charge Defendant Violated Law
in Interfering with Men
Seeking Work

LONG BEACH, Aug. 12.-Twelve
men were finally selected today out of
a venire of forty to act as jurymen in
the first trial here of a man arrested
on a charge of violating the anti-pick-
citing ordinance. The defendant in the
case was Daniel Mandry, who, 1t was
alleged, attempted to interfere with
men seeking work at the Craig ship
yard. The jury box was filled at
o'clock this afternoon. The names
and given Vocations of the twelve men
chosen were as follows:
R. E. Fisher, pinochle player; A. F.
White, sheep hearder; ]. F. Gainor,
horseshoe pitcher; A. ]. Atwater, w. P.

r. n. Taylor realty dealers; William
Talbert, G. B. Paul and ]. d. West,
retired; ]. W. Rogers, a transfer man.
City Attorney Long for the prose-
cution and Attorney Job Hartman of
Los Angeles for the defense were the
attorneys who quizZed each prospec-
tive juryman and questioned the wit
nesses. The council chamber, where
the trial was held was filled with spec
tations when the trial began at 10
o'clock this morning. In the crowd
were all the strikers who are not in

number of picketing cases put on the
docket of Police Judge J. j. Hart this
week.
Patrolman Irvine and Capt. c. c.
McCord were the witnesses for the
prosecution. They testified that Man
dry was walking back and forth, ac-

Craig yards. Other witnesses who tes-
titled for the prosecution were E. L.
Becker and H. P. Tobey of the Craig
ship plant, Thomas w. Williams and
Chief of Police Clarence Meyer.
The defendant was the only man put
up by the defense. Mandry denied
positively he had gone to the vicinity
of the plant for the purpose of test
ing the ordinance and further denied
that he did any picketing after the
ordinance was pasesd. He was asked
if he had stated to Thomas w. Will
liams that he went there to test the
ordinance and denied having made any
such a statement.
At o'clock, the evidence being all
in, the case was continued until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, when the
attorneys will give their arguments.
The jury was released with instruc-
tions not to discuss the case among
themselves or with outsiders.

RAILROAD MEN SUPPORT
MACHINE CANDIDATES

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 12.-
Widespread dissatisfaction among the
ranks of the railroad conductors,
trajnmen and engineers in the state
has resulted, it is said by local mem
bers of the three organizations, in a
recall of the delegates to the recent
convention which indorsed Curry for
governor and candidates for other Of
fees. Local lodges in various parts of
the state have refused to stand by the
Endorsement, and in an effort to decide
upon some candidate who will be ac-
ceptable the delegates have started
back. The dissatisfaction extends to
local railroad men, a number of whom
are either supporting Anderson or
johnson as against Curry, who, despite
the dissatisfaction of some of the men,
appears to be the favorite.
