MADE ILLEGAL BY ORDINANCE Court Controversy Looms In Action of Council Enacting Law Aimed at Labor Practice Here An ordinance apparently was passed at a special meeting of the city council last The ordinance makes it unlawful to “wear, carry night. or display advertising matter or other devices matter need not be carried by a person walking but the streets of the city without a license.” ordinancé also applies to vehicles in the way of push carts, automobiles, wagons, ete. Thé ordinance, how- ever, does not apply to permanent advertising matter used regularly in carrying on a business. Failure to comply with the new ordinance ts punishable by a fine of not more than $100 and a jail sen- tence of not more than 90 days or both. At a previous meeting of the coun- cil that organization discussed the matter of pitketing. ‘The opinion was expressed that a nuisance ex- isted tn different cases of picketing which, have come up for considera- tion during the past few months. Certain local business establishments were picketed by labor organizations which claimed that these particular establishments were unfair to union labor. Such picketing usually con- sists of a man walking back and forth in front of the establishment and carrying a sign stating the grievance, Although local labor leaders can: not te quoted, it 1s probable that en~ action of an ordinance here will lead to a test casein the courts at some future date: The-right of union Jabor to picket Has been «pheld in several well known cases where the point was made an issue involving free speech and in a nm handed down in district court here early this year, the same contention was upheld by Judge Robt. R. Rose. Enaction of an ordinance against picketing probably will lead to a —— WILSON IS 67 TODAY WASHINGTON, Dec. 28—Wood- row Wilson is 67 years old today, but there were no celebrations or demonstrations to break the quiet routine of his home.

MARINE POLICY IS IN MAKING President Coolidge. Seeks Solution-for} = Problem During Recess; Farley’s Name Dropped WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—President Coolidge is-tak- ing advantage of the lessenzd pressure of public affairs due to the congressional recess to devise a solution of the long, vexing merchant marine problem. Nearly half of the president’s engagements this week have concerned the shipping problem, which has resolved itself for the present into three President's mind to a question of ee levation of f th t elevation of one of! e present com- One is the selection of @ NeW) missioners of appointment of a new chairman of the shipping board| man to the place. In event one of | the sitting commissioners is made chairman it is considered probable that it will be either E. C. Plummer which has been made necessary by adverse action of the senate com- | Me avy? & merce committee on the nomination of Edward P. Farley of Chicago, now chairman of the board. Another is the formulation of a definite policy for operation of the government- owned merehant marine, and the third is settlement of the question of the extension of the coastwise shipping laws to the Philippines. The necessity for action in the near future in the matter of a new shipping board chairman was made greater by the request presented to the president yesterday by Mr. Far- ley for withdrawal of his pending nomination and by the announced intention of Mr. Farley to resign at once the recess appointment, under which he now is serving. The indications are that Mr. Cool- {dge will comply with Mr, Farley's re- quest and withdraw his nomination when the senate reconvenes January 3. The nominations of Frederick I. Thompson of Mobile, Ala., and Bert E. Haney of Portland, Oregon, to be members of the board, on which they now are serving by recess ap- pointment, were withdrawn’ just be- fore the senate adjourned for the holidays to allow the president, it was explained, the opportunity to consider all pending vacancies anew, in view of the adverse action on Mr. Farley’s nomination. Re-submission of the nominations of Commissioners ‘Thompson and Haney ts regarded in official circles as more than prob- able. The matter of selection of a new chairman has narrowed down in the WALTON FRESH FACES | CHARGE OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Dec. 28 —Former' Governor J, C. Walton, John A.

In seeking to formulate a definite policy for operation of the govern- ment ships, Mr. Coolidge has had conferences with vice Chairman 0’: Connor of the beard and Chairman Jones of the senate commerce com- mittee. As result Senator Jones has been at work for several days prepar- ing a memorandum on what he would recommend as a permanent policy.
