Police Target Show Of
Stones - Mounted Officer
Knocked From Horse -
Women Among Those Ar
rested - Strike Began In
May In Defiance Of Regular
Union - Independent Union
Formed

Broc,lton, Mass, July "a mount
| ed officer was knocked from his
horse when strike sympathizers
| hurled a shower of stone and other
missiles at police on duty late today
who were attempting to carry out
orders to break up picketing of shoe
| factories in this city by strikers who
walked out without the authorization
of their union. During the distur-
bance the police arrested IS pickets.
four of whom were among the 1O5
men and women who were arrested
on the picket lines this morning, but
who were later fined $40 each and
! released.
One of those arrested, Charles r.
Morris. was injured when he at
tempted to escape. -1e was severely
cut about the head. The police said
he ran into a wire fence.
John ]. Geogan, counsel for the
strikers, addressed a mass meeting
this evening and expressed regret
that the pickets who were arrested
this morning had returned to ire
lines as the court had been promised
that they would refrain from fur
ther picketing.
Strike leader Joseph z. Lacoutre,
was fined $40 in the District Court
for lettering and by agreement of
counsel each of the others arrested
was given the same fine. Appeals
We're taken and all were released,
Lacoutre in $50 bonds and the
others on their personal recogni-
Zance.
These developments were forecast
when the city solicitor last Saturday
ruled that the picketing was illegal
because the workers in going on
strike for increased wages and arbi-
tration of disputes by local board
had violated a written agreement
between the Brocketon Shoe Manu-
facturers' Association and the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union. The city
marshall announced ne would act on
the ruling and the strikers at
meeting last night voted to disregard
il.
The pickets were out in large num-
bers this morning and the police
force of about 100 together with
special officers. Immediately began
making arrests. Mrs. Nellie McHugh,
one of the strike leaders, and num-
Der of other women were among
those taken into CUSTODY. Crowds
stration as the pickets were taken to
the police station anu thence to the
courthouse, but there was no dis
turbance. No demonstration fol-
lowed the ending of the court pro-
ceedings.
The strike began the middle of
May in Brockton and surrounding
towns. All the factories are in OPP
Grafton, a number of the rcaft To-
calls having refused to join in the
strike and many new workers hav-
ing been engaged. The Boot and
Shoe Workers Unson which has a
wage demand pending. has a con-
tract with the manufacturers asso-
citation which calls for arbitration of
disputes by the state board of con-
Citation and arbitration. After the
strike started the union revoked the
charters of several striking locals
and the strikers formed a union
known as the Brockton District Shoe
Workers Organization.

Qualification Here
Over French Vote
on Pacific Treaty

Washington, July 9.-Action Of the
French Chamber of Deputies in voting
ratification today of the four-power
Pacific treaty, coupled with the favor
able vote last week on the naval pact,
caused qualification in official circles
here today, although some regret was
evidenced at the forecast that three
other Washington treaties would not be
put through at once.
The five treaties negotiated at the
arms conference are Independent docu-
ments but to certain degree they wre
dsigned to supplement each other and
to extend the effectiveness of the gen.
eral plan contemplated by the. confer
cnce for removing possibles causes of
war.

NAME COMMITTEE
TO STUDY WORK IN
BUILDING INDUSTRY

Washington, July "a committee
to study seasonal activities in the
building industry with a view to
recommending methods Of eliminat-
ing irregularity of employment and
lowering costs has been appointed by
Secretary Hoover. Its first session
will be held in Washington July 10.
Employers, labor leaders, and engi-
neers have been named on the COM
mittee.
Previous surveys have indicated
that most construction activity is
seven to ten months of the year." said
a commerce department statement
today explaining the committees
purpose. (which means that building
trade workers cannot find work in
their trade during several months,
and that contractors organizations
and equipment. architects. engineers.
building materials producers and
others connected with construction
must usually remain idle for similar
periods. This idle time represents
waste and direct losses to the con-
struction industry themselves, their
workers and the public"
1.-The committee was formed in the
hope that by examining the facts and
proposed remedies it might be able to
suggest sound solutions and obtain
general cooperation in effecting
them. It Is the general impression
that seasonal building has been due
perhaps more to custom than to
weather and it is expected that the
investigation will throw light on this
and other important points.
Members of the committee are:
Ernest T. Trigg. manufacturer of
Philadelphia, chairman; John w.
Blodgett, manufacturer of Grand
Rapids; John Donlin. president of the
building trades department. American
Federation of Labor; l.. F. Eppich,
president of the National associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards, Denver;
A. p. Greenfelder. contractor. St.
Louis; John NJ. Cries, department of
commerce; Otto T. Mallory, public
works expert, Philadelphia; Rudolph
P. Miller, engineer of New York:
James p. Noonan. president Of the
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
and William Stanley Parker, archi-
tect of Boston.

Irishman Backs: His
Hunch And Nets
$4,000
BY international News Service,

BELFAST, May Dam Fitz-
patrick, like all true Irishmen,
believes in dreams.
So, when he dreamed that
White Bud would win the Lin
coin Handicap and Sergeant
Murphy would romp in winner
of the Grand National lie backed
his dream with his coin.
Twenty-Five sdollars was all
the money he could scrape up,
but he "slot the works" on
White Bud. That charming
blossom" won and her price
was 66 to l. The first half Of
his dream had Melted Fitzpatrick
about 1850.
Still riding his bunch Fitz-
patrick stuck all of his winnings
on White Bud on Sergeant
Murphy to win the Grand Ma
tional. The gallant Sergeant
turned the trick at the good old
Bryanite ratio of 16 to /.
When Fitzpatrick totaled UP
his winnings he found that he
had more than SIS, 200, and no
one in the world can tell him
dreams never come true.
