County Sheriff and his forces. They
voted to uphold the ordinance, and
then voted to reconsider their vote
as the mass indignation grew. FL
nally, when the arrival of the Sher-
if and his armed thugs failed to
intimidate the workers, the Council
agreed to all the demands of the
workers: for the right to picket,
meet and assemble at any time
without permission, and no dis
elimination in relief against unem-
ployed workers who refuse to scab
on strikers.

Alaska Route Shorter but Obstructed Says Pan-

HONOLULU, May 24.-An air plane service connection between the United States and the Far East through Hawaii was predicted yesterday by William Brooch, oper- ating Manager of the Pan-Ameri- can Airways in the Orient.
 Brooch stopped here enroute to New York.
 He said that the Alaskan route is shorter, but believed that the future air route over the Pacific would be via Honolulu, Guam, Ma nila to Shanghai, because of poor flying conditions along the China coast, which he termed the worst in the world
 Grooch said that he is going to ask for new type of plane to combat the foggy airlanes along the China coast, where service was suspended in April after the loss of transport plane with four pas sengers.

 There are lots of them in such a fix this year, especially in the House.
 Primary campaigns have been under way since early spring and will continue through the summer months into the fall in some States. Every little bit helps, par ticularly contributions of praise from colleague who has had op- portunity to see you in action or the firing line in Washington.
