Howard tabloid, carried column edi-
torial reviewing the decision and de-
clared labor must fight and win re-
versal of the pernicious decision. The
editorial follows:
"Organized labor should promptly
appeal to higher courts the conviction
of Dorothy Ferguson on charge of
having picketed a downtown store.
mo great hardship has been inf1ict-
ed on Mrs. Ferguson by the order of
the court that she must pay fine of
$40, or spend ten days i'm Jail. The
welfare of no great number of people
is affected by the particular labor con-
troversy in which Miss Ferguson was
involved
Decision May Set Dangerous Prece-
dent
"The danger is that the decision in
her case will serve as a precedent in
all subsequent cases, and that it will
be Established as a rule in the Dis
trict of Columbia that picketting is
illegal.
Mrs. Ferguson was arrested some
five months ago. The charge was
that she had violated police regula-
ton of the District of Columbia,
which said: No person shall remain
in front of or enter any store where
goods are sold at retail for the pur-
pose Of enticing away or in any man
ner interfering with any person or
persons who may have entered there
in for the purpose of buying
"The regulation was drawn by the
district commissioners 20 years ago.
"Mrs. Ferguson, testimony devel-
oped, walked to and fro in front of the
store, repeating, This is non-union
store and unfair to organized labor
"Manifestly, Mrs. Ferguson was
picketing in manner customarily
employed by organized labor.
Judge Gus A. Schuldt, in his de-
cision, regrets that it is necessary
, that the so-called issues of picketing
must be injected although he admits
that the offense was in the nature of
picketing.'
Says Decision Dodges Issue
Judge Schuldt's decision lodges
the issue. Mrs. Ferguson clearly did
what the term 'picketing' means in it's
accepted sense, and for that was ar
rested, convicted, and sentenced No
amount Of legal circumlocution, or
legal argument, can get away from
that fact.
"The intent of the commissioners
regulation does not matter. The i'm
portant thing is what the regulation
did accomplish.
'The right of organized labor
peacefully to picket has been estab-
lished by law and upheld by the
courts. No regulation of the board
of commissioners, itself a creature of
the federal government, can upset the
law of congress or the decisions of
the federal courts.
"The Clayton act Of 1914 plainly
guarantees the right to picket. It's
PROVISIONS are particularly applicable
here, since the district is no more
than a possession Of the federal gov
ernment, and federal law is unques-
tionably supreme.
The United States supreme court
and high courts Of two-thirds Of the
states have held that peaceful picket.

days respite is physically and socially
valuable. In some shops the workers
themselves have voted to put all the
work into five days, preferring long
working periods for five days week
to shorter working periods for six
days.
Movement Gaining Fast
But even with the difference of
opinion among employers as to the
economic effect of five-day week,
the fact remains that in the past ten
years the movement in New York
state has taken on great momentum
and is still travelling on high speed"

Judge Fines Union Member
For Violating Old Ordinance;
Labor Plans War on Ruling

By Staff Correspondent, International
Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Without the
formality of hearing evidence for the
defense, Police Judge Gus A. Schultz,
of this city, sentenced Mrs. Dorothy
Ferguson to 10 days in Jail or $40
fine for picketing local haberdash-
cry and announcing "This store is
unfair to organized labor"
Mrs. Ferguson was arrested April
9th for picketing and disorderly con-
duct under section of police regula-
tions promulgated by the commits
sioners of the District of Columbia in
1906. This regulation was originally
framed to prevent cheap clothing
dealers from molesting passers-by,
1t reads as follows:
"No person shall remain in front of
or enter any store where goods are
sol dat retail for the purpose of en-
ticing away or in any manner inter-
fering with any person or persons
who may be in front of or who may
have entered therein for the purpose
of buying"
Labor leaders here are much con-
cerned over the decision of the police
Judge, chiefly because the case may
establish a precedent. For this rea-
son an appeal is contemplated.
Decision Given to Newspapers
John N. Breen, attorney for the
picket was astonished when he learned
the decision had been given to the
newspapers by the judge, who had
ordered the defendant and her attor-
ney to appear in court on the 18th to
receive his verdict. His action in
broadcasting the verdict prematurely
has received censure generally.
"Mrs. Ferguson faced charges of
both picketing and disorderly con-
duct" said Breen. "After one prose-
cution witness had been heard | en-
tired moton to dismiss.
Judge Schuldt asked counsel for
both sides to file briefs on the mo-
ton. This was done. No further evil
dence was ever taken The disorderly
conduct charge was dismissed but
nothing was done about the motion or
the picketing charge.
To Claim Case Was Not Tried
"In applying for write of error to
carry the case to the district court
of appeals, shall claim that the case
has never been tried; that if my mo-
ton was denied, the defense witness
should have been heard.
~ shall also maintain that the Clay
ton act, which specifically legalizes
peaceful persuasion in picketing,
takes precedence over any local regu-
lation. l shall argue that Mrs. Fergu-
son was within her rights under the
Clayton act.
Organized labor here will stand
unitedly behind an appeal, and the
Central Labor Union at it's meeting
Monday night voted to place the case
in the hands Of it's executive commit
tee. C. C. Coulter, business agents of
Retail Clerks No. 262, who has been
handling the affair, said he intends
asking support of his international.
It is conceded that labor must win
this fight, as it appears the opening
gun for making Washington a non
union town.

THREE SUMMONED
In LIQUOR HEARING
Marshal Unable to Find Two Men
Ordered to Appear in New
York Probe.

United States Marshal Snyder re-
ceived from New York summons to
appear before the grand jury there
tomorrow for Frank Burrows, Ma
tionar Hotel Supply Co.; Charles
Kaufman, 1875 Seventeenth street,
and Martin King, also at the latter
address.
Service of the subpoena was made
on Mr.. Burrows, but deputies were
unable to locate Kaufman and King

of those wanted. The subpoenas are
issued in the investigation before the
grand jury into an alleged wholesale
dealing in intoXicants which are said
to have been shipped in truck loads
to consumers in a number of cities.
Those summoned are supposed to
have been named on a list of prospec-
tive customers declared to have been
found by police.
The subpoenas require the three
men mentioned to bring with them all
letters, kilograms, price lists or other
communications received from 16 per-

BRITAIN FINDS PROBATION
IN CRIMES Is EFFECTIVE
One Third of Prisons Closed Since
.1914-Reformati of Youthful
Offenders Is Sought.

Placing of adults on probation for
minor crimes and institution of the
'borstaI" system for Juvenile offend
ers has resulted in closing down one
third of the prisons in England and
Wales since 1918, the Department of
Commerce was informed today. Only
about 40 of the 60 prisons in exist
ence in 1914 are now operating. The
others have been closed and sold.
These humanitarian measures in
in minor crimes have brought about
a reduction of 66 per cent in the
number of persons sentenced since
1913.
Ipswich Prison, a famous old pen
itentiary, is the latest to be closed.
The present tendency in England, ac-
Wording to an official of the British
home office, quoted in the London
newspapers, is to reform prisoners
rather than send them to prison.

E1dridge Objection to Gray, First
Choice, Brings Change.

The District Commissioners yesterday
changed the color scheme for the
1926 automobile tags from black nu-
Inera1s on a. gray background to black
numerals on u field of chrome yellow.
The change was made after Traffic
Director Eldridge had pointed out
that, while the original selection would
bake an attractive tag, he had found
upon investigation at the Bureau of
Standards. that it would not be salts
factory from a visibility standpoint.
The letters, he said, would not stand
out at night on a gray field when COW
cred with dust.
He recommended the adoption of a
yellow field for next year and further
suggested that black and yellow be
adopted as a standard for the District.
His proposal was that the yellow field
with black numbers be used in 1926
and that in 1927 they use yellow num-
berS on u black field.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July pa
protest against any attempt To ''foist
long distance bureaucratic control"
upon the co-operatives by the Federal
Government was voiced today before
the American Institute of Co-opera-
ton by John, d. Miller of New York
City, president of the National Co.
operative Milk Producers Federation
and vice president of the Dairymen's S
League Cooperative Association.
"Co-operative marketing associations
seek no government subsidy and are
unalterably opposed to bureaucratic
control" asserted the speaker.
Whenever bureaucracy has had it's
own way it has left an indeltble rec
ord of lethargy and ineffiCiency. In
capable in itself, it prevents the eXer-
else of initiative of those engaged in
commerce and industries.
Changing of Government.
Further than this. it is gradually
and insidiously changing the form of
government itself in that we are be-
coming more and more a government
by bureaus instead of a government
by Congress, a government OF bureau
cratic rules instead of a government
by law
IF the Federal Congress or any of
the State Legislatures in the exercise
of their judgment deem it eNpedient
10 attempt TO establish in any form
, governmental control of concerns en-
Ngaged in commerce, let them first try
it out on the old-line commercial
concerns and not experiment with the
cooperative marketing associations.
Marketing System Hopeful.
L. r. Mckay Of Memphis said co
operative cotton marketing was be-
ginning to offer a new hope for the
Southern tenant farmer. 1T offers
a machinery to rest him from the
thralI of the credit system" he said.
1T makes of him a man who takes
pride in his own community rather
than one who miErates annually from
