Hoboes Rampage Quietly Across Cumberland and Nearby Towns
Local reports describe growing hobo activity as autumn approaches. In Cumberland, police patrols intensify and encampments are cleared to curb disturbances. Hagerstown sees rising concerns of vagrants, while Frederick remains relatively free but wary of the incoming season. A national effort led by Dr. J Eads How aims to address root causes, gathering unemployed workers for a Washington labor convention. The piece also notes a wartime era motif of vigilance and humanizing portrayal of tramps, closing with a Montgomery County wedding announcement.
