TOWN VOTES NEW PICKETING RULES Cumberland Adopts Ordi- nance Drafted in Line With Court Decision.’ By the Associated Press. CUMBERLAND, Md. August 17.— ‘The city of Cumberland yesterday re- newed its attempt to control pickets in labor disputes by adopting a new ordinance, drafted in line with a| court decision holding a previous stat- ute invalid. ‘The main features of the ordinance, limiting the number of pickets to six at each gate of an industrial plant and requiring them to have permits, were upheld in the court opinion and they were included in the new act Commissioners Harry W. Matheney and Edgar Reynolds opposed the ordinance, as they opposed the first one, adopted during & strike in July. Charles Eline, vice president of the United Rubber Workers' Union here, protested the passage of the ordi- nance. He said it restricts free speech and free assembly.

Copeland also quoted Michelson as gaying that Black “seems to have won the Senate nomination beyond a Teasonable doubt and that “in Black the Alabama Klan has a loyal and | devoted friend.” Similarly he quoted other news- paper stories attributing Klan support | for Black in his race for the Senate. “What chance,” Copeland asked, “would Gov. Al Smith have were | he for some reason to appeal to a | Supreme Court made up of a ma- | Jority of Klansmen or Klan sympa- | thizers? What chance would any Catholic have who sought justice there? “We see Catholics attacked, their churches destroyed, their priests and nuns massacred, their property con- fiscated.

Burke stood up as Copeland sat He stated he was opposed to the nomination. He argued Senators were inclined to be lenient when one of their colleagues was nominated for a high office, and for that reason ought to “be particu- larly on our guard.” Regardless of what may be said for the “immemorial rule” on quick con- firmation of Senators, he contended, it ought to have no place in determin- ing the fitness for a nominee to the “the first bulwark of our liberties.” Burke quoted a letter by President Wilson, explaining his nomination of Justice Brandeis, in which he praised | the appointee's ‘“impartiality,” his “orderly, impersonal and constructive mind.” and “American ideals of jus- | tice and equality of opportunity.” The Nebraskan asserted Black did | not possess an “impartial” mind and who come before him, regardless of religion, or race.” “The prosecutor has his place, and it is a very important one” the Ne- braskan declared, “but it is not on the Supreme Court.” Burke observed that the whole Sen- ate knew the nominee and “many of us like and admire his many splendid qualities,” but he asked that special attention be given to “one side of his ! character, to see if he possesses the qualifications necessary for an illus- Telegram Seizure Hit. “It seems to me there is one inci- dent in the life of the nominee that puts him well beyond the line of those | who could be properly considered,” | Burke said, referring to Black's | “seizure of telegrams” during the Sen- | ate lobby investigation.

The only cognizance taken of the subject by Black's friends came yes- terday. Senator Minton, Democrat, | of Indiana filed at the desk a letter from Jacob Weiss, whom he described as “one of the leading Jews of In- diana,” criticizing the methods of Black's foes. Weiss wrote that those who opposed the nomination on the ground Black Wwas “at some time a member of the Ku Klux Klan” were “employing the ill-famed methods” of that organiza- tion. | people.” Black deprecated the injection of the Klan issue, Because of this sentiment, some of the foes said they might not take the floor. Most of those “intending to speak decided to confine their opposi- tion to legal grounds, arguing that Black was not eligible for the post. That argument was offered in Sen- ate debate yesterday by Senators Steiwer, Republican, of Oregon and White, Republican, of Maine shortly after the Judiciary Committee ap- proved the nomination Bridges Demands Hearings.
