GIRL BROWNS
ASMAN MAPS

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. II
G.N.sJ-The body of a 15-year-
old girl, who, clad only in scan.
ties, disappeared from row boat
in Windy Lake late Saturday
while her escort slept, was recov.
cred today by Coast Guard search
ers.
The girl, Mary Gaulke, Of this
city, had asked to be rowed out
in the lake a distance because she
had no bathing suit and wanted
to swim in her scanties, according
to her companion, Harold Under
man, Milwaukee railroad man.
Linderman, who said he was
Miss Gaulke's sweetheart. declared
that while she made ready to dive
into the water, which is 20 feet
deep, he sat down in the bottom
of the boat and fell asleep.
When he awoke, he said, he
sought the girl but could not find
her. The boat had drifted, so he
rowed ashore. He was held tenn
porarily by Racine county authori-
ties, while the search for the body
was pressed.

Uphold Picketing

New York ILNs) The Appellate
Court of Brooklyn has upheld a deci-
sion in favor of peaceful picketing,
rendered by Justice Meyer Steinbrink.
Labor unions have the right to have

vertising the union label.
The decision came in a case between

Company of Brooklyn. The company
sought and got temporary injun-
tion containing SO distinct prohibi-
tions. When the issues were tried

the unions, and his decision is now
