The ruling climaXed an exchange
in which Whitelaw described the
National Labor Relations Act as

and declared he wished the minutes
of the strike meeting to determine
if perjury complaints should be
filed against witnesses in the labor
relations board hearing.
Sought Names
In an effort to prove the Lewis
Chambers strike Of Jan. was called
without proper approval bv rank
and file union members, Whitelaw
attempted to obtain the names of
carpenters union members who,
Cooper said, were notified by letter
Of the strike. Again the examiner
sustained an objection by William
Walsh, labor relations board at
torney, that the list should not be
made public.
WhitelaW expects to prove. he
told Lucas. that many labor union
| members did not receive notice Of
the strike and had no chance TO
vote on the strike proposition
The attorney directed his hottest
attack against CoOper's testimony
Of Monday afternoon in which the
labor union official described a
union meeting at which members
voted to strike the Wis-Chambers
job. Asking for the minutes Of the
meeting. Whitelaw explained that

dition continues to persist even
after he has become accus-
toned to driving and you there
fore feel sure that it is not caused
by nerves, I believe that your
veterinarian in all probability
will find it wise to prescribe a
high colonic irrigation which will
completely cleanse the entire in

a prescription which will elini-
nate the ailment. Pepsin tablets
or proper amount of lime water

Hunters and show exhibitors
often find a strong high trailer
equipped with good springs excel
lent for transportation. When
the trailer is provided with COM
partments, they should not be
too large; small, comfortable
ones will prevent excessive shak-
ing and rough riding. Finally,
they should never contain food
or drinking attachments which
may become loose.

fortably in the air and sunshine
without using their feet.
They are even enchanted by
the changing scenery and are
intrigued by your car radio,
which they listen to with never
failing delight. Because of this
and due to the fact that the
increasing number of automobile
owners, who are also dog
fanciers, are pleasing their pets
in this manner, I will make a
few suggestions which may
prove helpful.
If you really care for your dog
and are not influenced by what
may appear to be the fashion of
the day, do not make him use
your running board as a riding
place. He would rather be in
side the car. He may be thrown
off by a quick stop or on a
sharp curve, and, in all proba-
bility, be killed or seriously in
jured. This, Of course, is not
true if a crate is attached to
the running board. 1 would
even suggest that one be pur-
chased if long trips are contem-
plated or your car is not large
enough to accommodate both
dog and family. They are con-
venient and inexpensive and
may be obtained at most pet
stores.
There are still a great many
animal owners who do not enjoy
having their pets with them be-
cause they are afraid of being
inconvenienced or embarrassed
due to the fact that some dogs
become i'll while riding. This is
a situation that can usually be
prevented. however, by the sim
pie eXpedient of not feeding or

The Navy Departments con.

Outstanding agency to reveal a
reduction was Social Security
Board, which terminated 873 tenn
porary workers, almost entirely in
its Baltimore office, with the com.
pletion of work for which they
had been hired.
The District has shown a steady
growth in Federal workers during
the current year and the latter
half OF 1887. In June, 1887, there
were 111,981 employees in Wash

BLACK BONITO

at the direction of the Cape
Charles Chamber of Commerce,
that it may be recorded in the
book of big fish.
Upon arrival in town, the fish,
with its master, were photo
graphed and entered in the Field
and Stream contest by Milton
Gordon, of the Atlas Company,
local representative. Bryan
Morse, fishing columnist of the
Herald, who broke the story
Tuesday morning, said the fish
was a good six-footer when
caught, but had lost at least 6
inches upon arrival, due to
Shrinkage.
Cape Charles is indeed the
standout fishing spot for big
sport fish in the edible class
along the Atlantic seaboard and
we predict that it's reputation
will go forward to rival some OF
the famous fishing resorts in the
semi-tropical climes.
HOD to Get There
Cape Charles may be reached
by taking the Claiborne-Annapo-
lis ferry out of Annapolis to Clai-
borne and then following Route
No. 13 direct to the cape. An
other way is to motor to Norfolk
and then take the Virginia
Ferry Corporation cruisers out
of Little Greek to Cape Charles,
across the Chesapeake, a dis
tance of 35 miles, consuming in
time hour As minutes. Many
parties avoid the auto ride by
taking the evening boat Of the
Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company out of Washing
ton, arriving in Norfolk the next
morning to take an early ferry
to the cape. Then again, here's
another mode Of travel that
takes but hours and Is min
uteS to make the trip. Take the
Pennsylvania Central plane out
of Washington at II a. m, arrive
at Norfolk airport one hour later,
then by ferry, arriving at Cape
Charles at 3:15 p. m.
Capt. Bryan Travis, as fine a
fellow as you'll meet in your
travels, is the guiding hand of
the fishing life in Cape Charles
and a line to him will straighten
you out as to what's what in the
waters of the Chesapeake, where
they meet the Atlantic. Captain
Travis informed us last week,
when we fished at Cape Charles,
that bass and bonito would con-
tinue running in high-class fash,
ion through July and August.
Capt. Noah Hazard, of the
West River Hazards, GaleSville
Md, informs us that he has two
nets down and is catching plenty
of alWives, menhaden or bunker
for cumming purposes. Captain
Hazard said those desiring the
fish should put in their orders
a day in advance so a fresh sup
ply would be available on theil
arrival, as iced fish were fal
inferior to those freshly netted
Captain Hazard also said thai
hardheadS were plentiful at the
mouth of West River. Some o.
his most recent fishing parties
and the number of hardhead,
taken were as follows: Dutch
Dietrich, As; E. E. Burton, Sc,
w. A. Baum, 27; r. j. Frey, %;
j. Deakins, II; w. D. Sullivan
80, and G. E. Oliver, 20.

Entries close July II for the
twelfth annual RappahannocB
County Horse Show to be held
July % and % at Washington, Va
In addition to the standard two
day horse show card, there will
be an agricultural exhibit of native
crops and vegetables, after the
manner of the old-fashioned
county fair.
Irish potatoes and Country Gen
tleman corn, fresh on the cob, will
vie for spectator interest with the
best in horseflesh that Rappahan-
mock county can produce.
Judges invited to pass on show
ring performances are DR.. Edgar
w. Powell, of Pennsylvania, and
Mr.. O'Malley Knott, Of New York.
This years show concentrates
entirely on hunt field materiel;
there will be no draft horse classes
and no pony events. Several
classes are limited to Rappahan-
mock county entries, to encourage
local breeders and hunt members.
The first days card includes
brood mares to produce hunters;
half-bred yearlings; lightweight
hunters; road hacks; and an open
hunter sweepstakes. On Saturday,
July %, classes will be held for
ladies' road hacks; middle ard
heavyweight hunters; Olympic
trials over novelty barriers; touch
and go; Corinthian event; and
hunt teams
In tone, the Washington show
somewhat resembles Culpeper'S
annual Fourth of July exhibition,
with less fireworks, but more in
