RIOTERS BATTLE.
COPS IN BERLIN
Street Fighting Renewed by
Striking Workers.

BIZ United Press
BERLIN, Oct. 17-Street fighting
between Communists and police was
renewed today in the striking metal
workers district while violent scenes
were enacted in the Reichstag.
While police were swinging their
truncheons on strikers, extremist
forces in the Reichstag leveled a
bitter attack on Chancellor Heinrich
Bruening's cabinet.
A Fascist speaker, Gregor
Strasser, flung at the Reichstag
the F'ascists' determination to re-
store German freedom even if
war should be necessary to achieve
the goal.
Confusion continued throughout
most of the session. In the Prussian
Diet, Communists and Socialists
-clashed over Red demands that po-
lice be ordered to cease attacks on
strikers. The session was sus-
pended when the disorder raised a
danger of fisticuffs.
Strike of some 10000 metal work.
ers which caused severe rioting
today, became more serious when
many milk deliverers joined in pro-
test against wage cuts. Eight per-
sons we're arrested.
At noon, police guards in the
workers district clashed again with
the crowd, using truncheons vigor-
ously to dispense rioters.

FUND WORKERS
TO OPEN DRIVE
Dinner Tonight viii Mark
Start of Campaign.

Twenty-Five hundred volunteer
workers today were ready for the
opening of the eleventh annual
Community fund campaign, for
which a goal of $S65,OOO is set.
The drive officially will be opened
at a dinner in the Claypool tonight,
at which G. M. williams, Marmon
Motor Car Company president, will
address solicitors, fund officials and
campaign leaders. More than 500
are expected at the dinner.
The goal barely represents the
minimum necessary to meet the
winters demands. Indianapolis
must rise to the emergency" Will
liam H. Insley, fund president, de-
clared.
Employment conditions probably
will curtain subscriptions in many
cases, and these losses must be off
set by larger contributions from
those who can give, fund officials
said.
First report meeting of workers
will be held at the Claypool Mon
day noon, and additional report
will be held until the
drive ends, except Saturday, Oct.
rs. The campaign ends Oct. 81.

Joyce Shepard, maddened muir

Mexican Boy Struck Match,
Igniting Fumes From
Open Gas Mains.

BV United Press
LOS ANGELES, oct. ia ter
rife explosion shook the eleven
story Garment Capitol building here
today, injuring at least forty per-
sons and causing property damage
estimated at 81 100000.
For a time. it was believed the ex-
plosion resulted from labor trouble,
being an outgrowth of a strike
called seven weeks ago by the Gar
ment Workers Union.
Police discounted the labor war"
theory, however. They insisted that
the blast occurred when a Mexican
boy struck a match to light a Gig
aret.
Two witnesses told authorities
the youth stopped in front of the
Beverly Hills Frock Company and
struck the match.
Match, Then Roar
THE match famed and then
there was roar" said Phil Hand
man, who was standing near by on
the fifth floor. Il saw the Mexi-
can boy and his boss knocked
down."
The boss" it was learned was H.
Schulman, owner of the Beverly
Hills Company, Schulman was one
of those seriously injured, having
received second and third degree
burns about the face, hands and
legs.
An elevator boy, who just had left
the Mexican and Schulman out of
the elevator, substantiated Hand
mans recital.
Injury to larger number was
averted because the blast occurred
several minutes before an army of
women garment employees we're to
start work. Most of the injured were
men employees, including janitorS,
elevator men and heating plant OPP
orators.
Hundreds Out of Work
It was estimated the blast will
throw several hundred persons out
of work pending repairs.
Occupants of the building were
endangered by falling marble door
decorations as they rushed to safety.
Firemen found two gas mains in the
building open.
The detonation apparently CEN
tered on the fifth floor rooms of the
Beverly Hill Frocks, Inc, dress and
sports apparel manufacturers.
Other Firms Damaged
Other firms in the bullying, all
manufacturers or wholesalers of
wearing apparel, we're damaged.
Three floors of the Graybar Elec-
trio building. just east of the
wrecked building, we're damaged
and goods worth thousands of dol
lars destroyed.
The Stewart-Dawes building,
housing wholesale shoe companies,
directly across the street, also was
wrecked.
Other buildings damaged we're the

nized an ordinance officially &C
knowledging infirmary renovations

The ordinance, submitted to
councilmen by Harry Dunn, county
auditor, states the institutions &C
commodations are insufficient to

Wording of the ordinance is seen
as an acknowledgment by county
officials of the dire straits of in
mates as disclosed recently by The
Times.
The council indicated a loophole
has been ferreted out by the county
attorney, giving councilmen oppor-
tunity to disregard condemnation
orders issued two weeks ago by
State Fire Marshal Alfred M.
Hogston.
Gets Trifle Profane
Headed by Paul Dunn, Coffin
henchman, councilmen squabbled
among themselves over legality of
Hogston'S order. They apparently
diSregarded Hogston's verdict hold

ton to be a "f1retrap''-"unfit for
human occupancy"
Dunn once indicted for shady
deals" surrounding his election to
office, fired the starting gun for the
squabble, which other councilmen-
his yes" men-greeted unanimously
with a chorus of agreement.
who in the hell ever heard of
the state fire marshal making any,
body do anything?" Dunn ejacu-
lated.
THAT order doesn't amount to a
damn to this council" he added.
Only Six Members Present

plainedly absent.
At Saturdays session, council will

commissioners rushed through fol-
lowing The Times disclosures.
