The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-11-07

The increase OF fraternal fee,-
ing in Block 3, has resulted in the
formation Of a number Of clubs.
The most active Of the newly
formed organizations is the
Aquatic Club. The initiation is
quite an enjoyable function for
the members who have already en-
dured the discomforts of damp
clothing. This club specializes in
the prevention OF its members be"

This is being written before the results of

But whether or not the referred law is ap-

state and local labor leaders at the manner in
which the question was referred to the voters.
Such an important referendum appear

sion of the question is contrary to the election
laws. matter which we will leave at this
time to the brethren of the legal profession.
But legal OF illegal we cannot expect intelli-
gent resolving of important questions by voters
who have a right to expect ballots to carry
on their face plain presentment of question.
1t is true that the question has been pub
lished in full for many weeks in local papers.
1t is equally correct that the normal voter has
not read these questions. II it is important
to publish the question in full prior to the
lections it must be equally important to state
the question in full on the ballot upon which
the voter expresses his opinion.
We are hopeful that the referendum has
been defeated. as organized labor considers
it a backward STEP There are numerous
amendments required in the Maryland Work
mems Compensation Act which will inure to
the victims of industry whom the Act was
designed to aid.

officers.
In doing so, he elevated to the
post a man to whom three chiefs

Although not without prece-

OF CONFUSION
ABOUT SALES
MANY APPLY TO BUY TAX
CERTIFICATES FROM HIM
BELIEVING DELINQUENT
ROLL WAS MURPHY LAND

County Clerk Ross c. Sawyer
called The Citizens attention
this morning to an erroneous
belief some people are holding in
connection with the difference
between Murphy land sales being
conducted by his office and the
delinquent tax sale to be held on
September 2 for nOn-payment of
county taxes for 1889.
For the past three weeks, The
Citizen has been publishing, on
Mondays, the delinquent tax roll
as released by county tax collec-
tor Frank H. Laid. The prop
erty listed is that on which taxes
for only the year 1899 have not
been paid.
There is no connection between
