Demurrer Filed in Court
in Picketing Case

A demurrer attacking a District
police regulation on constitutional
grounds was filed in Police Court
yesterday by attorneys for the New
Negro Alliance in a picketing case.
The demurrer was filed in the
ease of Miss Natalie Norman,
charged under section Is, article 4,
OF the regulations, which prohibits
"enticlng away or in any manner
interfering with any person" who
is about to enter a retail store to
make a purchase.
Attorney Thurman L. Dodson
told the court the Norris-La Guardia
Act of 1882, which prohibits court
injunction against peaceful picket
ing, automatically repealed that Sec
ton of the regulations.
The section also was attacked on
the grounds that it violates right
of peaceful assembly as provided
IN the first amendment to the Con-
stitution.
The defendant in the case was
charged in connection with picket
ing of a drug store at Fourteenth
and U streets NV.
The case was continued until

A. FL. Estimates
u. 5. Unemployment
At 11,470,000
Job Increase During
Eoch Month of
1889 Reported

Although citing upward employ
ment trends for each month of 1899,
the American Federation of Labor
today estimated unemployment in
the Nation at 11,470,0O0, slightly
above the figure of one year ago.
In releasing it's estimate, the Fed
Grafton spoke critically of "the re-
fusal of those who own and control
American industry to shorten the
hours of labor and thus provide
jobs for the able-bodied jobless."
Discussing the 1899 trend. the
Federation analysis remarked:
Employment reports for the first
quarter of 1899 show strong con-
trast to last year. In 1888, trade
unions reported unemployment in
creasing steadily each month in the
first quarter. while in 1899 the tables
have been turned and each month
since January is showing more back
at work"
Trade unions figures, however,
show 1889 unemployment has not
been sufficient to restore the losses
of the 1898 recession, the Fedora
ton added.
"Our estimate for February, 1899,
shows 11,470,00O out of work. COM
pared with 11,123.OOO in February
last year and 100000 in February,
1887"
improvement this year was noted
particularly in farm employment,
factories, railroads and coal mines,
the analysis continued, but layoffs
were continuing in trade lines and
in the building industry.

The lower courts decision indi-
Gates that new crisis may soon ar

State" Gov. James declared.
The decision strengthened the pos
sibility of new taxes being levied by
