COURT BARS MOVE
AGAINST PICKETING
Local Restaurateur's CHALLENGE
Is Dismissed by Justice
0'Donoghue.

The first suit here for a number Of
years challenged the right to picket
was dismissed today by Justice Daniel
w. o'Donoshue Of District Court.
The case involved the picketing of
Phil's Grill, 2840 Fourteenth street, by
the Hotel and Restaurant Employees
Local, No. 78l, and the Bartenders
Local, No. IS, since Apr1l 26.
The proprietor, Philip George Stuo-
pis, asked the court to enjoin the two
unions, contending there was no bona
fide labor disput involving his en-
ployes. He charged the unions with
attempting to compel him to discharge
his help and hire union workers, He
added the picketing was against the
wishes Of his employees.
The unions, however, maintained
the restaurant was being picketed be-
cause Of the discharge Of = bartender.
George Aristotle, last month.
Through the law nrm Of King L.
Brodie and Josiah Lyman they main
tanned that the picketing was peace
1ul and the court had no power to en-
Join It, since the Norris-La Guardia
act prohibits the injunction of peace
1ul picketing by Federal Judge.
In refusing to enjoin the unions,
Justice O'Donoghue said evidence had
shown the picketing was peaceful.
stuopis testified the presence Of
pickets in front Of his place had re-
duced his business one-third.

SEEKS DECISION
ON AIRPORT SITE
Commission Meets Today
With "Super- Terminar
RunWays Defined.

Confronted with a recent ruling Of
the Bureau of Air Commerce that
all-Way runways having q minimum
length Of 1000 feet will be a pre-
requisite for the classification OF an
air transport terminal as a super
terminal" the District Airport COM
mission will meet at pm. today in
the office Of Chairman King In an
other attempt to agree on q site for
a District airport.
The new super-terminal classifica-
ton definitely eliminates Washington
Airport from consideration as first
class air transport terminal, it is
understood. The present airport has
one runway 1900 feet long, but is
limited to 5000 feet on the cross
runaway and to even less In the direc-
ton Of proposed third runway.
An effort to increase the length Of
this third runway by filling in q part
Of Boundary Channel between the
airship hangar and the Airport SWIM
ming Pool has been temporarily
blocked pending a determination Of
the legality Of the project.
1t is understood that the commits
sion today will consider a new plan
for the development of the proposed
Gravelly Point area, which would
provide for minimum all-direction
runways Of 5000 feet and would al
low for still further expansion in
fhA oiropoft ~ "a f,,t, sl.o ~ .
require longer distance for take-offs
and landings.
It is understood that the member
ship OF the commission has been
split for months over the selection
Of q site for Washington's air trans
port terminal Although all sessions
have been held behind closed doors,
1t Is understood in aviation circles that
there are at least three distinct fac
tions represented within the commits
sion.
One faction is said to favor the
selection Of Gravelly Point, now be-
ing filled in connection with the
present channel-deepening operations
Of the Army Corps of Engineers. An
other Is said to favor development Of
Washington Airport to the maximum
capacity Of the terrain available, while
the third is understood to favor the
development of two sites; one possibly
1T Washington Airport or some other
"close-in" point for ordinary oper-
ations and the other Of the super
terminal type farther out for use
In case Of bad weather necessitating
instrument approaches and landings.
