Armed Pickets Said To Have
Held Up Trucker At FinzeI

A Pennsylvania truck driver told
Maryland police that pickets held
gun on him and robbed him of S43
after dumping his load of coal last
Thursday night.
The driver, William R. Meyers, of
Meyersdale, Pa, told police that the
robbery occurred around midnight on
the Finzel road in this county. Both
Maryland and Pennsylvania police are
investigating.
Meyers claims that a swarm of
some fifty pickets blocked the road
when his truck came in sight. When
the vehicle came to a stop the pickets
| gathered around in menacing man.
ner, he said.
According to Meyers, one of the
men produced a revolver and pointing
it at the truck driver, shouted: "Roll
down the window or I'll shoot it out"
Meyers stated that the pickets or
dered him to get out of the truck and
hold up his hands. Once out of the
truck the pickets relieved him of SAB,
his coat, thermos bottle and flash
light, the driver declared. The pickets
then dumped his load of coal and or
dered him to get back to Meyersdale
and stay there, he declared.
Although Meyers was the only driv-
er to report a robbery, it was said
that a number of coal trucks were
dumped in that locality last week, and
also in the vicinity of Swanton and
Bloomington.

Can This Be Democracy?

A story in the Cumberland News on
Tuesday should give every citizen and
lover of democracy cause to wonder.
An Eckhart truck driver was driv-
ing his empty truck into Eckhart off
u. S. Route 40, when he was halted by
band of pickets who ordered him to
get out of the vehicle. He complied,
but drew what a man said was a
loaded gun. He then continued on his
way unmolested, it was said.
Peare Hanna, Frostburg, then made
a complaint to State police who ar
rested James Rephan, said to be the
truck driver, on charge of threaten
ing picket with a gun. The warrant
charged that Rephan "did unlawfully
commit an assault with intent to MUIR
der by drawing loaded weapon" A
Frostburg magistrate held him under
$500 bond, which was furnished.
Can this be democracy? Can a man
on the highway no longer defend him
self or his property? What's wrong
with arresting those who ordered him
to halt?
A Pennsylvania truck driver claims
pickets held a gun on him and robbed
him of $43 after dumping his load, of
coal last Thursday on the Finzel road
in this county. The offense was said to
have been committed about midnight
This sort of un-American activity
can be stopped eventually if all people
become aroused as the Grantsville cit
liens have done.

Grabbing Everything In Sight Seems
To Be The Favorite Pastime of
FurOnean DictatOrS

TO the Editor of The Republican.
Should the United States grab
hunk of Canada and a generous slice
or two of Mexico and kid them into
thinking we were merely protecting
them-well, that would be preposter-
ously obnoxious, wouldn't it?
But over in Europe the favorite pas
time of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mus
solini is apparently to determine which
of the two can swallow the most terri
tory. Thank goodness, the U. S. sticks
to goldfish.
It's a sort of contest over there.
Mussolini absorbs Ethiopia; Hitler in
turn swallows Austria and Czecho-
slovakni; Mussolini gulps down AL
bania, which means that it is Hitler's
turn to grab again and render the
April map of Europe useless Ct is
crippled now and our 1889 edition OF
school books even more out of date
than ever.
Obviously the only individual openly
attempting to curb the ravenous crav-
ing for new territory, thereby prolong-
ing peace, is F.D.R.
Here's hoping he is successful in
checking if not completely arresting
the dictators' seemingly implacable,
unappeasable tapeworm for expansion
and in convincing them of the impor-
lance to their health in abstaining
from aggression. Maybe he'll even
suggest as substitute for land grabs
the favorite American amusement and
diet foods-goldfish and monograph
records.
