The Board of Supervisors Wednesday adopted a picketing ordinance.
which, as an emergency measure
went into effect immediately with
its first publication yestenday miorning. The ordinance is somewha: similar ‘to that recently adopted in Yuba
‘City, and in some of its aspects resembles the Los Angeles picketing
ordinance. It does not prohibit picketing but does penalize attempts to
blockade streets, roads, and entranethe use of force to deter workers
from entering upon, or seeking employment. It also prohibits the
of language, epithets,
inflamatory speeches tending to incite riot or violence, In brief the new
ordinance limits all picketing to ths
strictly peaceful variety.

FOREST SERVICE
The Tahoe
well
National Forest will be
equipped for radio sérvice in
eonnecfion with possible fires during the coming season, according to
DeWitt Nelson, forest supervisor at
Nevada City. With ‘the installation
of a powerful ‘‘M”’ set in the Nevada
City office and several “SPF” sets
for stationing at fires, Nelson expeers fire activities to be expedited.
In addition, there will be small “8”
valuable service during the recent
Downieville flood by the installation
of an “SPF”’ set at Downieville. Reception at the Nevada City office
was not entirely satisfactory, according to Nelson, on account of a
number of*high tension wires in the
immediate vicinity and small electric
motors at. soda fountains and other
places of business. To eliminate the
interference from high tension wires, Staff Engineer William P. Lee —
is.experimentingwith a-specially designed aerial on top of the Elks
building. Preliminary tests show
perfect transmission and ‘reception
with stations as far south as San
Diego. To further insure the efficiency of this equipment when emergencies arise, Nelson plans to seek
the cooperation of ‘business houses
in the vicinity of his office in insulating any motors they have in operation. This, according to Engineer
Lee, can be done a small expense
and without reducing the efficiency
of the motors.
The use of the radio equipment
will be under the direction of Assistant Supervisor Ernest L. Baxter,
in charge of fire control activities .
for the Tahoe-Forest. Nelson emphasizes the fact that, except for test
calls.to other stations in the sta'te in
order to test the efficiency of the
equipment, sit will be used only for
