would not only endanger the rights
of labor. but of the great masses of the
people of Maryland. Only unfair en-
ployers would be in favor OF such leg
islation.
Should the Constabulary bill be-
come a law, it would take away home
rule in the counties and mnnicipali-

airy would overrun the State and
would be under the control of those
who control their activities. They
would be selected because OF their
willingness to do what they are order
