SIGN BODY HITS
PICKET PLAN

A recommendation that un-
favorable action be taken on the
proposal to amend the municipal
sign board regulations to permit
peaceful picketing of business es-
tablishments during a labor 6is-
put has been drawn up by the
District Signboard committee for
submission to the District Com
miSSionerS.
The committee takes the stand
that to permit such an amend
ment would constitute class legis-
lation. The recommendation is
to be submitted to the Commits
SionerS tomorrow.
Attorneys for the local fur.
workers union propose the
amendment when it was discov-
cred that a regulation prohibited
the carrying of signs in labor
dispute. A police regulation pro-
hibitS oral picketing.

During the two days the

$1.50 instead of So, during the
next fiscal year. Subsistence eX'
penses of witnesses are tempo

Power for President
Therefore, the President is
given virtually blanket authority
to bring about such economies,
subject to veto by the Congress
within so days after the Execu-

ANT|-U. S. ACT
SEEN IN UNION
Of EUROPE
Belgium Heads Small Power
Group in Economic Pact
at Lausanne

LAUSANNE, Switzerland,
June 20 IN.S.).-The nucleus
of a Pan-European commercial
union with a distinct anti
American tendency was
launched here today by Bel
gium, Holland and Luxem-
bourg.
Delegates of these small nations
attending the reparations confer
ence agreed upon a customs and
economic union open to all Euro
pean countries which desire to
join.
Anti U. S. Texture
The delegates are considering a
formal invitation to all partici-
pants at the Lausanne confer
ence to enlist in the union.
Taken in conjunction with the
recent unconditional moratorium
and outspoken speeches against
international payments without
equivalent return, this appears to
have a decided anti-American tex
ture.
Political Aspects Absent
An additional step toward Euro.
pean consolidation was taken
when members of the League Of
Nations mixed commission agreed
to grant Austria an immediate
loan of 100000 schillings.
Observers commented upon the
absence of political aspects in both
Austrian loan and Flemish GUS
toms union.

have simply been asked to hold
themselves in readiness in the
