sociation, of which he is president.
Employers of domestic help would
find themselves billed for taxes on
wages paid during 1887 and 1898
and make an accounting Of the
number of persons employed by them
during these years, together with
salaries paid and value of meals and
lodging furnished, Mr.. Lusk stated.
According to the statement. the
proposed unemployment benefits
would bankrupt" the existing sur.
plus fund from which current pay

Mr.. Lusk said the Randolph meas

He contended that the bill intro

Three Held Guilty
In bunco Drive

A drive against confidence game
operators in Washington was given
impetus yesterday when three men,
suspected of being "bunco artists"
were ordered to post $500 bond each,
or serve sentence of six months
In Jail, when found guilty of charges
Of vagrancy by Judge Edward M.
Curran in Police Court.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
George Nelson said the heavy pen
atty meted out by Judge Curran
was an indication of the definite
steps being taken by the court, the
Police Department and the Corpora
ton Counsel's Office to break up the
confidence racket here.
Detective 1t. Joseph Shimon testi-
fed yesterday that the men, when
arrested, admitted to being "bunco"
men, and said they told him they
intended to leave Washington i'm
mediately because the "heat is on"
The men were finger printed and
comparison with Federal Bureau OF
Investigation records revealed that
each had a lengthy record involving
confidence game manipulation in
almost every section of the coun-
try.
The defense counsel noted an
appeal, and Judge Curran set ap-
peal bonds at $1,000 in each case.

The denouement of the Old Do
minion Kennel Clubs dog show at
Alexandria yesterday was as sur
prising, and to many as disconcert-
ing. as the weather.
A Pekingese, Ch Marking Noel,
owned by John B. Royce of Brook
line, Mass, was declared the best
of the large entry of 652 dogs, which
included many vaunted best in win
ners at previous shows.
Noel, while acknowledged a very
fine specimen of his breed by Pc
kingese fanciers, has never before
been within shooting distance of
this placement. Every one of his
competitors in the final group Is
considered tops in his breed, and
every one has been a consistent
group winner and best in show win
ner or prospect wherever shown.
The sporting group was represent
ed in the final judging by Mrs.
Henry A. Ross black cocker, Oh.
Nonquit Notable. Hounds were
topped by Foxcatcher Beagles
beagle. Ch. Meadowlark Craftsman,
fresh from two straight best in
show wins at Wheeling and Rich
mond, as we'll as a number of inter-
mittent ones in the last few months.
The Sumbula Kennels boxer, Oh.
Biene Won Elbe Bogen Sc Sumbula,
considered by many the most nearly
perfect boxer in the country, headed
the working group. Cnoc Luing Ken
nels' Kerry Blue terrier, Ch. Bundle
Bee of Delwin, was best in the ter
rier group and Mrs. A. v. Halo
wells red chow, Ch. Lie Wal Lohson,
was best in the transporting group.
In spite of the cold rain and the
muddy field, which hampered both
the judging and the action of the
dogs, there weer surprisingly few

The weather was responsible for
many amusing tableaux. While it
was usual enough to see medium

to the judging rings it was rather
startling to see a st. Bernard slung

it was noticeable that few Of the

Anti-Picketing Law
Is Held Invalid by
Judge Curran
Defense Demurrer in
Drug Store Dispute
Is Sustained

The right of any person to con-
duct peaceful picketing in connec-
ton with a labor dispute in the
District was upheld by Judge Ed
ward M. Curran in Police Court
yesterday in ruling which held
invalid police anti-picketing regu-
lation.
Judge Curran sustained a de-
murrer filed by defense counsel
which contended that section Is of
the police regulations. under which
Natalie Norman of Arlington, Va,
was arrested, had been repealed In
the enactment by Congress of the
Norris-La Guardia Act Of 1882, and
further was unconstitutional in that
it violated the right Of freedom Of
speech and freedom to peaceable
assembly"
The defendant was charged with
picketing a drugstore at Fourteenth
and U streets NV, where attempts
were being made to persuade the
proprietor to hire colored clerks
Assistant Corporation Counsel
George Nelson conceded there was
no violence and that the defendant
was picketing in labor dispute, but
held that the Norris-La Guardia Act
did not apply In this case because
the defendant was alleged to be in
terfering verbally. or obstructing
persons resiring to enter the store.
"Picketing," he contend e d,
amounts to an appeal to the public
in general, through the carrying of
signs or placards, but a picket is not
permitted to stop individual pro-
spective purchasers and interfere
with their desire to enter the store.
The court, however, ruled that to
uphold the regulation not only would
outlaw any attempted violence in
picketing, but also would outlaw
peaceful picketing, which is allowed
by law. Judge Curran called at
tention to picketing during the re-
cent hotel strike when, he said, 1T
was almost a physical impossibility
to enter a hotel, and none of those
many persons attempting to entice
patrons away was prosecuted"
The defendant was represented by
Leon A. Ransom, James M. Nabut,
jr., and Thurman L. Dodson.
