BERLIN PREPARES TO PREVENT RIOTS H Communists Killed in Nay Day Disturbances to Be
 Buried Tomorrow
 s.!l FEW STRIKES EXPECTED Authorities Hold S2 Prisoners os
 Rebellion Charges

Berlin, May R-Police today planned measures designed to pre- vent q recurrence of violence when T communists killed in post-May Day riots at Neukoelln and Wedding are buried tomorrow in a single grave.
 It was announced there would be no interference with the funeral it. self or with . political demonstra- tion at the cemetery following inter- ment. but that the consta bulary would crush promptly any demon- stration on the streets.
 General belief was that any strike which may take place at 2 p. III. Wednesday as a result of the com munist headquarters call for general walkout will be of small consequence. Nearly all of the workers who struck last week in protest against police treatment of the communists in Neukoelln and Wedding have returned to thelr jobs.
 Communist members in the Prus- sian diet introduced a motion of no confidence in Premier Braun and Minister of the Interior Grzesinski. The motion demanded the dismissal of Chief of Police Zoergiebel. im- mediate withdrawal of forces from the contested areas, release of all communists now under arrest. and resembling of the order prohibiting demonstrations in the streets.
 Of 126 persons held in custody for participation in the disturbances of last week g were to be arraigned today on charges of disturbing the peace and open rebellion. The ex- animation of. the remainder was continued.
 Bitter criticism of the ruthless. ness of the police measures in sup pressing the communists continued. After autopsies of eight of g of those killed bullets found in the bodies were submitted to experts to determine whether the police or the demonstrators fired them.
 The fact that only one policeman had a bullet wound in his hand. al though fourteen, others received serious knife wounds and injuries from stones aroused serious doubts in many minds as to whether most of the shots fired in the four day melee were not from the guns of the police.
 Of five women killed all died of bullet wounds Only one died on the street, the others being killed by direct shots while in their own homes.
 Danzig has reported crisis be- tween communists and police there. A number of rioters were clubbed and others arrested.

CLAIMS CONFLICT IN RAY0N STRIKE
200 Textile Workels Said to
 Have Returned to Work

Elizabethton, Tenn. May R- The strike of Rayon mill workers lapsed into another endurance test stage today. Union forces demon- strated their strength with parades and mass meetings while the Amer ican Bemberg and American Glanz- stoff plants prepared their machin- cry for complete resumption of op- erations.
 Workers who returned to their jobs yesterday reopened the me- chanical and chemical departments and made ready the machinery in other departments for other work men expected to take up their du- ties soon.
 How many of the $500 workers normally employed in the plants are ready to return to their jobs was one of the questions over which union and non-union leaders were at wide variance. Heads of the Loyal Work CTS of Bemberg." non- union organ ization. said 200 workers were in the plants yesterday and that S3 per cent of the strikers were ready to return to work. Union leaders de- njed the statement and staged pa rade in. a driving rain to make the denial emphatic.
 | "A peaceful resistance" has been announced as the policy of the workers union, but state. county and city officers were taking every precautionary measure to guard against disorders Mounted guards patrolled the streets and prohibited lettering. Machine guns were placed on roofs of the plants and national suardsmen with fixed bayonets guarded all entrances to the prop crty.
 Dr. Arthur Hothwurf. president of the Rayon companies. said all the workers he needed were available but that several weeks would be re- Quired to resume normal operations.
 Two arrests were made yesterday when the union forces sought to in- nuence workers from returning to the plants.

The deposed government was charged bv the army chiefs with having con- nived with Lithuania communists at . Bolshevist uprising.
