Marathon Dance Passes l06th Day As Authorities Move to Stop Affair;
 Pastors Attack It From Pulpits
Slow Death Probable Re- suit of Victory, Minister Declares - State Claims Employment Law for Women Violated.

Detroit, March Pl-A marathon dance which has been going along for more than 106 days at Eastwood Park, East Detroit, appeared about to end today with the state com missioner. of labor and industry moving to stop it after local and county authorities failed to inter Sene.
 The marathon, which, according to witnesses. rivals the most savage dances of primitive peoples, has gone on uninterrupted since last No- yember IS. East Detroit is outside Wayne county, so authorities here have been powerless to act to stop the dance.
 Several pastors of the district at tackled the marathon dance in their Sunday sermons The Rev. Roland Travers, of the Mount Clemens Bap- list church, who has been waging a campaign against it, referred 10 1t ;s Gin Many ways the saddest, most heart breaking affair l have ever attended"
 Calls It Slow Death
 "It was not a funeral service over a dead body, but far worse," he de- clared. Ut was the slow death Of the physical. mental and spiritual natures of nearly q dozen young peo- ple.'
 Eugene L. Brock, state commits soncr of labor and industry, an- nounced he would seek warrants for arrest of the persons conducting the dance on the grounds that a state labor statute was being violated. Michigan law forbids employment of women for more than 54 hours q week, or 10 hours in any one day. , MT. Brock says he thinks this law is being violated in allowing the five young women who now remain in the dance to go on. If warrants arc . rot issued by Macomb county au- thoritics he plans to subpoena the dancers as witnesses at an lnNeSti- gation and thus stop the marathon any way.

 Take Turns sleeping
 When tho marathon started last fall the dancers were allowed 20 minutes of each hour for rest. This rest period has been shortened to 10 minutes and now is being shortened ono minute each day. Only five couples have been able to continue through the winter. The partners take turns sleeping. A young wom- an carrying a man about the room while he sleeps is part Of the show.
