2, not over 6 per season; Deer, male,
not over 1 per season.
Maryland has been most fortunate
in not being compelled to close the
season indefinitely on any species of
either native or migratory game.
Due to the strenuous wildlife rest
Grafton program and liberal paintings
of game in the covers annually, food
and cover and general conditions have
been greatly benefited and the Com
mission is justified in not shortening
any seasons or decreasing any bag
limits at this time. Deer have, with
out a doubt, shown a substantial in
crease and the kill for 1910 was the
largest ever recorded in Maryland
during any one season. In Maryland
gunners are very fortunate that the
federal regulations are as liberal as
they are for 1941 as great pressure is
brought to bear on the Federal auth
critics annually for closed season
on wild waterfowl.

LABOR AND DEMOCRACY

said make the gains that have been made in the
past our union all labor must hold fast to the prnc
pies of democracy"
No one quarrel with that statement 1t unanswer-
able truth But unpleasant fact that certain labor leaders
worst and most persistent enemies OF demo-
cratic principles this country has known
is leaders want to make impossible for
hold job and living unless ne pays dues to union
who often establish eXOrban Initiative to
their unionees that far beyond the ability of the majority
of workers meet 1t is these leaders who have closed unions to
and said in effect that nomembers cannot be employed
and starve so far as they concerned.
You can't have labor monopoly other kind of
oily have democracy Many labor leaders sincere and
farsghted But that proportion of labor leaders which is
making racket out of unonism casts growing stigma the
union movement because they destroying
