for 4S or ~ hours. four hours over

received with much interest and
letter regarding the coming COmmun-

members feel they would rather give

are interested than give to all the
items, many of which they have no
interest in, or feel they should either
be self-slpdrting or discontinued.

Executive Order

In Lubor's Ranks
Unions May Be Subjected
To Most Sweeping Re-
strictions In History

DiSmay spread among labor chief
read drastic executive order issued
by President Roosevelt calling for
crack-dOwns on unions and workers if
they strike in protest against National
War Labor Board decisions.
The labor leaders deferred public
comment, pending an analysis of the
order by union attorneys, but private
ly they said the decree subjects the
most sweeping restrictions in the cOun.
trys history.
About the only grain of comfort they
could find in the development was the
hope that the order may not need to
be applied, and that, as it stands, it
will expire at the end of the war.
What Order Provides
These three principal effects of the
order stand out, union spOllesmen said ::
1t imposes compulsory arbitra-
tiOn on the nations workers. They
must abide by War Labor Board de-
csions. If they fail, the plant in which
they toll may be seized by the govern
ment, and if they then continue to
strike, all rights and benefits they have
under their union agreements can be
taken away until they do comply.

Report Game Kills
Figures May Induce WPB to
Allow Manufacture of Gun
Shells This Year

If YOU are a hunter and have failed

killed in 1912, E. Lee LeCompte, state
game warden, urges that you make
report Immediately as it may have
am important bearing on whether the
War Production Board will allow the
arms and ammunition manufacturers
to make gun shells for sale during the
hunting season Of 1913.
LeCompte reported that the game
commissioners Of the United States
have been trying to induce the WPB
to allow manufacture Of gun shells for
hunting this year and each state was
requested to report to the WIPE the
amount of game killed by hunters in
1871,
He said the Maryland Inland Fish
and Game commission was in posi-
ton to furnish figures and that the
WPB was astounded at the enormous
tonnage Of game killed, which natur-
ally relieved the drain of food supply
to the amount of poundage of game
birds and game animals killed. The
1912 report is urged so that the COM
mission will be in position to answer
questions asked by the federal govern
ment
If a hunter lost the card which was
attached to his license he is requested
to send a postal card or letter to the
State Game Warden, Baltimore, Civ
ing the license number, stating
whether it was a county-resident or
statewide license, and reporting the
various species of game killed. If the
hunter failed to kill any game this
fact also should be reported
