DISORDERLY
PICKETING

Picketing accompanied by consider
able disorder recently occurred in New
York city at the office of one of the
Home Relief Bureaus. The office was
wrecked and number of persons
injured.
About 500 persons, who said they
came from the Workers Alliance, had
|picketed the office practically all day
demanding an increase in relief allot-
Iments and more clothing for children
The director of the bureau told a
crowd Of about fifty who invaded his
second floor premises and refused to
leave that they would have to go at
5 p. M, which was closing time The
pickets refused to leave and virtually
barricaded the director and his help
fers in the building. Benches and chairs
had been thrown downstairs and piled
in heap at the entrance door. The
telephones had been ripped from the
walls.
Attracted by the commotion two
policemen came to the building, but
were met by a barrage of flying
chairs and other missals. During the
melee windows were smashed, desks
overturned, typewriter fixtures thrown
to the floor and electric light fixtures
broken.
The disorderly conduct brought two
police emergency squads, who restor-
ed semblance of order, arresting
three Of the demonstrators on charges
Of felonious assault and five others on
disorderly conduct charges. Two
policement received severe cuts and
bruises. So did some of the demon
| strators.

employment and payrolls in Pennsyl-
vania are now higher than at any
period since the spring of 1929.
The statement was based on figures
gathered from 2,266 manufacturing
establishments employing 503,000
workers with payrolls running $11,-
$4,000 a week. All the factories of
Pennsylvania employed in September
about $4,000 wage earners, and their
weekly payrolls were rather more
than $21, $4,000.
Wages still have not caught up with
employment, but in Pennsylvania dur
ing the past year they have narrowed
the gap. The index of employment
throughout the state in September
was 81 per cent, the average from
1928 to 1925, both years counted, be-
ing taken as 100 Wages in this state
in September were 80 per cent, rec
koning on the same basis. But while
employment gained IL per cent since
last year, payrolls gained 27 per cent.
Poverty in the midst of plenty is
caused by the failure of Americans
to buy plenty of their own union-made
products.

DRYS ARE ACTIVE
AGAIN AT CAPITAL
May Concentrate on Effort
to Restore Prohibition
in Washington
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, 14.-It will be inter-
esting to note from time to time what
if any, progress the prohibitionists
make with their effort to resuscitate
their cause as a national ISSUE
Their first step is to try again to
dry up the District of Columbia, as
an example to the remainder of the
country.
A bill to that effect, introduced by
Representative U. S. Guyer of Kan
sas, already is pending in Congress-
! 1t is more than unlikely to be voted
on at this session. However, another
one is sure to be offered by Guyer or
some one else next winter.
BUTLER A CONVERT
In the meantime, under the name
of the United Dry Forces, the pro-
hibitionists are campaigning.
At their initial rally in Washing
ton General Smedley D. Butler, re-
tired from the marine corps, who,
several years ago, as chief of police,
made a sensational attempt to make
a sensational attempt to make pro-
hibition stick in Philadelphia, was
their keynoter. His subject was "The
Booze Racket" On his Philadelphia
assignment the general was not sup
posed to be personally particularly
enthusiastic for dry legislation; he
simply was endeavoring to enforce
the law as he found it. But now he
obviously is as ardent prohibitionist
as ever was Wayne B. Wheeler.
Of course Congressman Guyer
spoke, too, and there was a prayer
by the Rev. DR.. James Shera Mont
gomery, chaplain of the House of Re
representatives..
In short, the gathering had some
thing of an official aspect.
GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN
Strategically speaking, Washing-
ton is a good city for the drys to
start on.
1t is conspicuous. AS the drys say,
it is a guinea pig for the, whole coun-
try.
The sentiment of it's inhabitants is
overwhelmingly wet, but its citizenry
is voteless. If the drys can scare Con-
gress, Congress will not care a pi-
cayune for the feelings of Washing
tonians. True, many congressman,
who have to spend much of their
time here, like their own drinks. But
they know they can get them anyway,
prohibition or no prohibition. So can
anybody.

the legislature calling State referen-
dunn on prohibition. The election
showed it under 166,325 to 48,37O. The
