PICKET ORDINANCE
PRECEDES FACTORY
Village Council Protects
Prospective Mfrs.
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Serviee)
Minster-An ordinance designed to
regulate picketing in the event of
strikes was passed by the local vii
lage council at its last regular meet
ing, and thereby hangs a tale of use
flu methods to induce prospective
manufacturers to locate their plants
here.
The ordinance makes it unlawful
for picketers to assemble in groups
of more than three; provides that they
remain at least 800 feet from the en-
ployer's plant or plants; provides
there shall be no obstruction of
streets or intimidation of employees in
the lawful use and occupation of
plants or premises.
A fine of not more than $50 is pro-
vided as penalty for violation of this
ordinance, which should be heralded
with delight as a masterpiece of con-
stitutional suppression by all the
Frew Longs and industrial associa-
tionso in the country.
The village council very unctuously
assures the citizenry and world al
large that the ordinance is designed
not to prevent strikes, but merely tc
regulate picketing in the event Of
strikes.
Reason for the ordinance is reliably
reported to be contingent to the mi.
grafton here of a shoe manufacturer
now located in another section of the
state, who has had considerable diff
| ficulty in keeping his 1000 or 120(
employees from organizing III a unior
of their own choice, and from ex
pressing their dissatisfaction witt
wages and conditions by parading be
fore his factory with placards an
nouncing their grievance.
Certainly, with such an enticins
ordinance as enacted by the village
fothers, Minister will soon be a Niece;
for employers similar in their rugge,
individuality to the shoe manufac
turer, and this little village may sool
have something besides beer to adj
to its claim for fame and a place il
the industrial sun.

WHAT NEXT?

If a new mechanical plucker comes
into general use, handpicking Of
chickens, ducks and other domestic
fowl will be largely thing Of the
past. The device, now in production
by a New York company, is said to
remove feathers at the rate Of one
complete fowl per minute. Metal
disks, electrically operated, revolve
against each other in such way as
to swiftly pull the feathers. A sue
ton fan carries feathers to a sack.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

the same time, and here is a little of
what he said:
1--WE in America realize that sap
pings from within and assaults from
without have put the democratic no.
tions of the world on notice that they
can no longer take it for granted that
the institutions which they have built
up with so much love and sacrifice
can stand of themselves without Wig
orous and intelligent support and
defense"
As sample of those "sappings
from Within" here are some literal
quotations from letter which an
American (God save the mark Nazi
wrote to Washington daily paper:
"Our cooperation must be with the
Berlin Rome Tokyo axis. -
Except for the unfortunate acci-
dent of language, we have nothing
whatever in common with England
Canada or any part of the British
| Empire"
"The coming war must find us or
the right side To be elsewhere woulc
be disastrous. 1t would mean the ulti
mate partition of the country, with
Japan holding Alaska and the Wes
as far as the Rocky mountains, ant
Germany and Italy dividing the res
of the country
"The outworn ideas Of the right
of the individual and of so-called per
sonal liberty must be stamped ruth
lessly out of our educational system.
1t sounds like the rawlings of
drunken lunatic But it is an accurat
report of the doctrines and ideals 0
Nazism and Fascism.

tanned demurrers to petition for a
declaratory judgment filed by Co.
lumbus grocer against a Clerks I'm

Named in the petition were H. j
Montoney, representative of the Re-
tail Clerks International Protective
Association, affiliated with the AFL
who has filed numerous charges OF
operating grocery stores on Sunday
against the minority group in munici

officials who obeyed court processes.
The plaintiff complained in his peti
ton that he and other grocery oper
ators were being prosecuted" bl
Montoney by the fling of numerou:
affidavits against them under Sectior

In dismissing the case, Judge Scar
lett pointed out that Section 1904
had been repeatedly interpreted ant
found valid by the courts of Ohio dur
ing the many years of its existence
on the statute books.
Judge Scarlett declared that in eacE
case there was an issue Of fact, wheth
er the defendant was guilty or no
guilty of the charge filed by Mon
toney.
AS convictions were obtained b.
Montoney in prosecutions under tina
section of the general code, he coulC
not be charged with malicious prose
cution.

ton of school districts, administra
ton of state departments of educa
ton, adult education, and library serv-
ice for rural districts.
1t is a program which would make
ten million boys and girls throw up
their hats and cheer r-if they knew
about it. 1t would help all schools, es-
pecially country schools.
The committee points out that the
farmers Of this country have more
children to educate and fewer dollars
for the purpose than city dwellers
have. 1t notes that rural schools were
hardest hit of all in the depression.
1t directs attention to the astounding
differences in chances for schooling in
different parts Of the country; and it
holds that only federal grant can
iron out these differences.

Build America" is a program pro-
posed by the Cleveland Building
Trades unions.
1t has been endorsed by the Ohio
State Building Trades Council and the
building construction trades depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor.
To promote the Build America
program on a national scale and enlist
the cooperation of labor and indus
try, a corporation known as Build
America, Inc, has been formed at
Cleveland.
James G. Caffrey, now on leave of
absence from the federal housing adj
ministration, heads the corporation.
Labor and industrial leaders are as
sisting him.
Build America" has adopted a
three-point program designed to pro-
mote a national movement for per-
manent movement for permanent re-
covery in all branches of the building
industry.
Build America" will tie in with
the governments building promotion
activities, which seem destined to oc-
cupy a larger and larger part in plans
for lasting business recovery.
Last November, this column pointed
out the urgent need for a great build

Labor, it was recalled, had been in
sisting for years that recovery was
pretty shaky as long as building re-
NAMED in the dumps.
Labor knows that building on
a great scale would put the idle to
work as nothing else will.
Benefits would not be confined to the
building and allied trades and indus
tries, but to virtually ALL INDUS

Building, in other words, is not only
the concern of the building industry
1t is the concern of America.

World events recently have been, of
most unpleasant kind. The rise to
power in Austria of the Nazis has re-
suited promptly in the mobbing and
beating Of Jews-as everyone with
a spoonful of brains knew it would
Czechoslovakia knows that she is
marked for Nazi attack; but is facing
the situation with steadiness that
cannot be too highly praised.
The British tory party has announc-
ed itself ready to surrender the rights
of all Britain's friends and allies to
keep peace" with Fascist and Nazi
aggressors; but this may not be so
important as it seems when related
facts are taken into account.
In the first place, the parliament
which supported Premier Chamberlain
in his surrender policy, was elected
some time ago on totally different
issues. In the second place, the oppo-
sition was furious, and included, not
only all labor members, but nearly all
that is left Of the old liberal party.
Winston Churchill, one of the ablest
of British public men, denounced the
tory plans; and Lloyd George went
after Chamberlain in words that
sting. Pointing out that Mussolini has
broken every promise he ever made tc
the British government, he said:
"A man who is so dove like in inno-
cence as Premier Chamberlain is not
fit to deal with the Machiavellian die
tators Of Europe. He is fit for stain
