The bill is now in the Sen­ ate where it is predicted the Adminis­ tration will endeavor to eliminate a number of the more important’provi­ sions. . Many labor leaders ■ are insisting that the'.House approved bill, if.final­ ly enacted into law, will restrict or destroy some of the Tights of the in­ dividual worker or Union member. However, a sti^dy of the bill discloses that the rights of the individual work­ er are protected, but that many of the privileges and practices of some . labor leaders will be limitedJ aSd thht plant management and the general public will be given greater protec­ tion. Under the bill the right to strike has not been abrogated and collective bargaining remains in force, However strikes can no longer be called for organization purposes or fo r jurisdic- tional reasons, but only for increased wages or better working conditions. A°strike cannot be called until ^ .m a ­ jority bf all workers in the plant af­ fected vote in favor thereof by secret ballot a t an election supervised by the ' government. A thirty days notice of a-strike must-be given, whereuponHie Defense Mediation Board • may at- tempt to settler differences betwfeeri woSjcera arriflife. maMgemehtyand may order a sixty days codling ptt period before employees 'can atop work/ When workers actually go out on strike only Union members will be permitted to picket. Mass picketing and. violence are prohibited. The Union will not be permitted to import outside pickets, while the manage­ ment will be prohibited from import­ ing strike breakers or outside work­ ers. Sympathy strikes in defense in­ dustries are also outlawed. Union offi­ cials Will be required to make an ac­ counting to the government and to their Union membership for all fin­ ancial transactions of the Union, It will be illegal for any Union to have as an officer or representative any person who is an alien, a Communist, a Bundist, or member of any other subversive group, or who has been Convicted of a felony.

Jamestown Citizen Goes To Pen Homer E, Persinger, 52, Jamestown, was sentenced to one to 10 years in the Ohio penitentiary by Common Pleas Judge F. L.

Shaw, 71, Died In Xenia Henry Benton Shaw, 71, retired farmer, father-in-law of Mr, Leonard Glass of this place, died a t his home in Xenia, Monday morning. He was born in Highland county and had,lived in this county thirty-six years. He is survived by his widow, Mrs, Eliza Shaw, two sons, Ervin and Carl, a daughter, Mrs. Nellie Modre; ft brother, six half-brothers, four half- ststerS and eleven grandchildren and niife great-grandchildren. The funeral Was held ffrom the Neeld Funeral Home in Xenia, Wed­ nesday, with burial in MaesieS Creek Cemetery* Dog Owner Shoots Dogs That Attack Dogs In Yard The'fellow that kicks the hound is usually the fellow that gets kicked according to a dog legend, The farm, er that posts his own farm against hunting and then prowls around over other farms a t night without permis­ sion is now. the target of irate -farm ers in the eastern part of the town­ ship Where a number of sheep have been killed of late. It is now a con­ test of tho hunters- against the farm­ er and the farmers against the hunt­ ers. A nasty situation has arisen all be­ cause one* hunter’s dogs killed or maimed other dogs that were tied iu tho owner’s yard. The owner cut loose with his gun and killed a dojjHeldng- ing to the hunter and injured another. The participants in the case which reached Municipal . Court in Xenia were Louis McDorman, Selma and Springfield, pike, Clark County, and, George Baldwin,’-who resides east of town, • . McDorman filed a charge in the Xenia court charging .Baldwin with shooting and killing one of his dogs and shooting another. Baldwin claims tile McDorman hounds were in his yard and attacked his two dogs ijhat were tied and helpless. One was bii> ten and died while the other was in­ jured and .is not, expected to live: Baldwin- hearing the dogs went out and fired with the above result. One killed outright and the other was fired upon as it ran -across the highway, according to reports. Judge D, M. Aultman, presiding, fined/ Baldwin $160 and costs and sentenced him, to thirty days in’ jail last Friday. The reaction to the above incident is the organization of farmers for their own protection and a probable ■evival of the dormant Cedarville Pro­ tection Committee. Sentiment has crystalized: against McDorman, who is tv farmer himself and it is reported he has his own farm ,posted "against hunters. Farmers residing near Rald- wip have recently had heavy losses as a result^ of dogs, in their sheep and from hunters, during the present hunt­ ing season, A petition is now in cir­ culation among farm owners asking JudgeAyltman to reconsider the oase artd Hetfr: more evidence. * movement are Mayor-elect O. A. Dob­ bins, J* C. Townsley, Hervey Bailey, Clayton McMillan, Fred Dobbins, Ralph Townsley, It is also said, that the territory over which McDorman covered during his night hunting was posted against hunting, with dog or gun as well as trespassing. Tho situation may reach the state farmers say Where each farm owner of land covered by McDorman will consider filing individual charges against him under the no-trespassing law as well as the no-hunting law. Even though McDorman is a farm owner, local farmers say he is the last" one that should tie hunting on posted land without permission, something he does not accord other hunters on liis own land.
