CUMBERLAND VOTES
PICKET REGULATION

Cumberland, Md. (ILNs) Regu-
lation of strike picketing is provided
in an ordinance passed by the city
council. The ordinance was opposed
by labor groups. 1t is made a viol-
lation of city law for an employer
or other person to molest or attempt
to intimidate any picket legally en-
titled to be at a so-called unfair"
establishment, and limits to six the
number of pickets that may be sta
toned at one industrial gate.

Anybody who tries to tell US

Anybody who tries to tell us
what kind of world we will have
ten years hence is only guessing.
Inventions, wars, politics-these
and other things will create our pic
ture for us and no man say say what
it will look like at any future stage
of the great game of life.
All we know is we are on our way
and not making a very intelligent job
of it as we go along. What energy we
waste in fighting!

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
We tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

There has been very interesting
development in the house of labor re-
Gently. The AFofL and the CIO have
agreed not to break each others
strikes.
OF course this is the sensible thing
to do.
Either side, breaking the others
strikes would be in position hard to
defend.
Strikebreaking is business. that
belongs all on the side of the reac-
tionary employer.
Today the decent employers
themselves don't indulge in strike
breaking. If there's strike they
tie up and take rest until the
issue is settled.
But this measure of tolerance
doesn't mean that the internal war;
fare is cooling off any.
On the contrary, it's plenty hot and
| active.
Here's an interesting note: En-
ployers are weakening in their de-
mand for incorporation of unions.
They've been mooching around try
| ing to figure out plan but they
aren't having any luck. Instead, they
are finding out that they can't rig up
any bill that would catch unions in
their net without also catching them
| selves.
The trap would work both ways.
So, they are taking second thought
about the whole business, saddened
and disappointed by what their law
yers tell them.
| Well, it never is easy to rig UP
one-way laws.
Of course there will be no let-ur
in the effort to hamstring labor, but
one idea seems to be in the ash car
| anyway.

In Washington a big fat book has
just been published. 1t is called the
report of the national resources com
mitee, named by the president.
This book tells US what kind of in
! yentions are coming and what is go
! ing to be done with some of the in
ventions already in use.
Most folks think, for example, tha
the electric eye is just an amusing
little gadget.
Well, this report tells us that
the electric eye will displace
mission workers.
So, it seems that the electric ey,
is going to see a pretty big chang,
in great many things. Every time i
takes a look a man loses his job.
Did anybody say the unemployment
problem was almost settled?
That's just one item in this ia
and important report.
e At the same time the rumors 0
war abroad grow hotter.
There WILL be war some day
There MAY be war very soon.
If war starts it probably won't b
long before everybody gets in. It won
be any private war.
And then the world will be all upset

schemes that produce new beauty in
building construction call for greater
skill among brick masons. Federal
housing authorities see these forward
steps as giving impetus to building
advancement and stimulating craft
progress.
That the demand for artistic and
comfortable dwellings is mounting is
attested by housing figures, recently
released by the United States Gov
ernment, stating that new residential
building in the year 1885 attained the
highest volume for any year since
1890. The demand for owner-occu-
pied homes is the backbone OF tie

The number of dwelling units built
in the United States in all types OF

ing this period.
Residential building in the area to-

three months of 1886 the total was

The percentage of gain in this class

percentage of advance throughout the
entire 81 States east of the Rockies
where residential building was only
about twice as large as in the current

of 1885.
Private Construction.
Significant advances in private con-
