A colored crew fcreman was killed several days ago under similar circumstances, Soon =after the attack today police arrested a colored man, who was identi- fled as the companion cf the white man.- Thus far. however, gythorities have learned nothing that would lead to_identification of the essaflant. In a letter addressed to Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, superintendent of police, Hub Myers pointed out today that policemen had remained neutral in the strike until violence broks out and then strict measures were adopted. His report showed 1 man has been killed. 2 policemen have been fired on, 10 laborers have been shot or stab- bed, 18 persons beaten and threcscore arrested in 10 days.

I think you should give them an opportunity to prove it.” ling that Congress had just enacted a law giving the District of Columbia signboard regulation, Col. Grant sald the people of Washington are anxious that all of the entrances to the city, most of which pass through important Maryland subdivisons, should be made front doors and not back doors. Control Necessary. From the standpoint of an engineer and municipal official of Washington, he added, he believed it would be quite wrong to attempt to- prohibit billboards entirely, but some control “for the public safety and benefit” seemed de- sirable. He also claimed such control would be beneficial to the signboard companies themselves, as the present multiplicity of signs tends to detract from the advertising value of each sign. A careful reading and study of the bill was urged upon the legislators by Mr. Stanely to prevent an erroneous impression being obtained about its severity. Nearly every business enterprise. in Maryland is now required to obtain a , Mr. Stanely pointed out. Inasmuch as the signboard ‘“use” the roads as literally as motorists, it is only fair they should pay a reasonable tax, he said. ‘Trend of other States toward sign- board regulation was also cited by Mr. Stanely, who declared Gov. Buck of Delaware recommended a similar bill for passage by the Legislature of that State In his annual message. $200 License Fee. ‘The $200 license fee for advertising companies, the 3-cent per square foot annual tax on the individual sign, the supervision and licensing of the signs b{mthc{ s't.ne Ro‘( :x Commission, and other features of the bill were laing by Mr, Btll:ely. — Summarizing the arguments, Miss Engle mentioned oppositicn that is be- ing brought to bear on the measure by the signboard companies as only natural, as any business that is not controlled “would be slow on the job" if it did not fight regulaticn. “We take the position, however,” she said, “that it is a State problem and should come under State control to guarantee some freedom from the haz- ards of signs and the business of having one solid rcad of signs built up, one after another, where they entirely de- stroy the beauty of the surrounding country.” In conclusion she submitted & digest of the laws of other States cn signboards. Indorsements Read. Mrs. Holt read the indorsements of the following organizations as a few of the groups on record in favor of the bill: Maryland League of Women Voters, Baltimore College Club, Rotary Club of Easton, Easton Grange, Women's Club of Bethesda, Home Interest Club of Sandy Spring, Wcmen's Club of Ken sington, Home Interest Club of Forest Glen, National Council of Jewish Wom. en, Maryland Federation of Women' Clubs, the Civic League, the Garden Clubs of Maryland. the Southern Mary- land Soclety, the Maryland Press Asso- ciation and the State Graduate Nurse ore the hearing, organized oppo- sition to the bill began us assert fl?!:l’l, Before mbst of the Delegates had ar- rived at the state house, stacks of mes- sages og‘poflnl e regulation as “an unfair handicap” were waiting on 'the desks of the 18 members of the com- mittee. As the day progressed the num- ber of telegrams doubled and trebled. Single Form Used. Almost all of them followed a single form. A typical message was that sent to the members by George N. Bowen, ! & member of the Board of Commis- -h::eu of Prince Georges County, which said: “Serious objection is hereby made to House bill 181, now before your com- mittee for consideration. Maryland in- dustries should not at this time be sad- dled with additional burdens of tax- ation. Outdoor advertising is a legiti- mate business used by merchants every- where to stimulate the sale of goods. 1 sincerely hope that your committee will give unfavorable report to this class of legisiation.” Other of the messages said that the rndl.n' bill would “work an indeserved llrd:dmp on the hundreds of people in- volved.” The Salisbury, Baltimore and Cum- berland Chambers of Commerce were :q:rmnhd in the telegrams of oppo- jon, MISSING GARAGE MAN IS LOCATED IN TEXAS G.

LEE D. BUTLER, i 2155 Champlain St. Above V, Near 18th IBARUCH TO APPEAR | AT WAR HEARINGS Legion Head Wants U. S. Control Over Capital and Labor in Next Conflict. The commission created by Congress to study the best methods of utilizing the material resources as well as the manpower of the Nation in time of war today will hear the views of Bernard M. Baruch, who was chairman of the War Industries Board during the World War, “Equal service by all and special privilege for none” in time of war is the objective of veterans, the commission was told yesterday afternoon by Ralph ;r, ?'Nell, commander of the American seglon, '+ O'Neil told the commission the Legion | does not want to draft capital or labor, but wants the Government to have ab- sclut: control over both. Says Defense Act Incomplete. i ‘The Legion commander said the na- tional defense act has given this coun- try an adequate military policy, but is incomplete without legislation for con- trol of materials and rssources in time of war. O'Neil recommended legislation along the following lines: Selection for serv- ice of any part of the organized militia, control of material resources and in- dustrial organizations other than the commandeering section of the national defense act, control over prices of com- modities for the Government and the {civil population in time of war and creation in war time of the various aux- iliary agencies which were found nec- essary in the last war, such as the War Industries Board and the food admin- istration. Comdr. O'Neil characterized universal draft &5 & “peace measure, & prepared- ness measure and a measure of ele- mental justice.” He contended that no nation would attack this country, if, in the event of a major war, America | would mobilize all her resources to serve | without profit until the war ended suc- cessfully. | Pershing to Appear. | The Legion head emphasized he was | not advocating that materials or other | Yesources be taken in time of war with- | out compensation and, therefore, ex- | pressed the view that a reasonable re- turn be allowed under such circum- stances. In response to questions by Senator Vandenberg, O'Neil said what he had in _mind was preventing abnormal profits in time of War. O'Neil said it is the fall or rise of price levels that start labor difficulties, and thought everything possible should be done in time of war to prevent a rise in price evels. | Hamilton and De Tocqueviile on the | American Constitution and comparing flexible and rigid constitutions of the world.
