Boy, Mrs. William S. DiXon's 10,
year-old Airedale dog, has her wor-
ried about his tendencies toward
burglary.
His latest feat was bringing
home an overcoat. His mistress,
after diligent search, couldn't find
the place he got it, and Boy was
reticent on the subject.
He has a particular fancy for
axes, hatchets, hammers and other
tools with handles, which he
brings home whenever located

Defense Fund Rises

and discovered, among other
things, that its picket and defense
fund is almost lover the top"
Only two Of the many unions
affiliated with the central body

full quota of II cents a member,
it was reported. Every other
union has fulfilled it's obligations.
Purpose of the fund is to provide
at least $500 for use at any given
moment in connection with labor
disputes. The present quota is
$1,000, of which $500 is to be kept
in the treasury If possible, as an

Pay Fines Rather
Than Do Road
Work

ROCKVILLE, Md, May 81
Montgomery county's prison labor
projects, placed in operation about
month ago, are suffering from
an acute shortage of labor.
Although arrests for disorderly
conduct and drunkenness have de
clined slightly since the inaugura'
ton of this plan. Prisoners 10
formerly spent 30, so or 80 days
languishing in the county'S mod
ern Jail, now pay their fines and
60 merrily on their way, Judge
Harold c. Smith said here today,
The employment of short-tern
jail prisoners on county road prof.
ects was started by Judge Smith
and the county commissioners as
a possible solution to the problem
of repeated violations. Many Of
these violators, according to Judge
Smith spent a greater portion of
their time in the county Jail.
Judge Smith said:
ut seems funny, but many 4
these persons who used to come
before me repeatedly on charges
of drunkenness and diSOrderly
conduct and then serve their
time in Jail, now manage some
how to obtain tie required COL
lateral to post and forfeit or to
pay their fine.
1--WE started the work plan in
an attempt to discourage repeat
ed violations of the law and
thought that the county might
obtain some cheap labor. While
it IS not accomplishing this plan,
it at least clears the jail Of
bOarderS and the county receives
cash from the fines instead of
having to feed the prisoners for
some time"

The reason? Quite number OF
their candidates for offices in the
union-including their nominee
for president-were chosen during
elections held yesterday.
John B. Dickman's, of the Sec.
retary'S Chapel, is the new head
of the organization. There is no
official vice president, however
since G. M. Billingsley, of The
Daily News, and Joseph P. O'Lone,
of The Washington Herald, were
tied at 1881 votes each.
Billingsley was far ahead in the
early balloting, but shortly before
midnight The Herald contingent
of printers arrived on the field
and cast enough votes for O'Lone
to create a deadlock. The tie will
be run off at a special election
meeting in the near future.
Three Labor Problems
Although the industrial relations
of local unions are more or less
placid at the moment, organized
labor is far from BEND idle. Three
salient problems-Salient to labor
are being thrashed out.
They are the opposition to the
establishment here Of an abattolr,
the crusade for daylight saving
and the proposal to meet the forth
coming deficit in the District OF
Columbia's budget with sales tax,
among other levies.
Organized labor, through actions
taken by the Central Labor Union,
is officially fighting all three OF
the proposals. Resolutions have
been adopted favoring the abat-
toir, because its operation will
create jobs; opposing daylight saw
ing because workers would lose an
hour of rest in the morning, and
condemning the sales tax because
it puts a burden on small incomes
and omits consideration OF ability
to pay.
Although public notice Of the
fight has been lacking, union
leaders privately pride themselves
on the work they have accom-
plished so far. They point to the
forcing of hearings on the abat-
toir situation by the House Dis
trict Committee and the growing
opposition in Congress to the sales
tax.

Second be that the most buyers will get the

This the great for the profits system When prices

virtually an attack upon the profits system of

For example. the cotton textile and the lum-
