 Like the Paris Commune
 The scenes recounted today were strangely reminiscent of the Paris commune, except the mob ap- parently lacked cohesive leader ship.
 The strikers were armed with bricks. Their weapons were taken from a ready-made arsenal known as the Social mill annex, a mill torn down not long ago because its owners objected to what they call ed over-taxation. The bricks lay in piles of thousands, and each mem Der of the mob took at least two to hurl at the "enemy."
 "It Is not martial law" Colonel Hammond explained. "But it is the next closest possible kind of law. The only difference is that we will lot the civil courts handle all cases" :. Business men, checking their losses tonight agreed that the mob did at least $40.000 worth of dam- age, chiefly in the smashing of plate glass and in robbing of various stores,

 U. s. INVENTIONS
American Workers Lacks Practical Guidance Re-
 veals Expert

New York, (UP)-America's inventive genius has been stimu- lated by the depression, according to the investigations of the Inven- tors Foundation of New York. An intensive study carried on by the Foundation in connection with its courses at Stevens Institute and New York university indicates that the American inventor is more active than ever, but lacks practical guidance and the ability to make the most of his ideas.
 Hundreds of inventors are be- ing enrolled in special courses now being given at these institutions and by mail in association with the International Correspondence Schools to study scientific methods in developing new ideas worthy of patenting. The courses offer ex- pert instruction in all details of inventing and patenting methods. The Foundation is carried out on broad philanthropic principles.
 The investigations show. that most inventors are surprisingly ignorant of the patent laws and the best plan for protecting their ideas and assuring profits. The courses serve a long felt want. The inventor is instructed concerning correct protective methods of orig inal ideas and the practical appii- cation of these rules through each stage of the development of an in- vention. The course includes a study of the inventors markete for his product, and eliminates with study of the business steps in- volved.

 Another Victim Dies
 Even as the legislature wrangled over the proposition, Charles Cor cynski, 18, of Central Falls, wound- ed in a riot at Sayelsville Wednes- day, died at a hospital, second vlc- time of strike fighting.
 In contrast to the previous two nights, when hoodlums ran wild and battled National Guardsmen and deputies, last night passed peacefully in both Rhode Island's 5 major sore spots, Woonsocket ana Saylesville.
 At Woonsocket police enforced an emergency curfew regulation, which kept all streets cleared or citizens after dark. Thirty men and women who violated this rule were arrested and held at police headquarters overnight.
 The general feeling at the state house this morning was that iegis- lative opposition to the plan to summon federal troops would per. sist and that Rhode Island would depend on National Guardsmen'

 was made to use of federal re- sources.
 A request for army troops can be made only by the Rhode Island legislature while it is in session. Democratic legislative leaders op- posed troop action and favored the closing of all state textile mills. instead.
 The mill towns of Woonsocket and Saylesville resembled cities in wartime with 2,000 national guardsmen patrolling the streets. Another strike picket died of wounds bringing the national strike toll to 13.
 Strike leaders here blamed the outbreak on mill operators.
 German B1ames Mill Owners
 Francis J. German, strike leader, declared that:
 Management has run a riotous course. It has come to sad and sorry pass when union men must stand up in the face of rifles and machine guns to maintain their right to picket guaranteed under the law.''
 He refused a request by Gov Theodore Francis Green of Rhode Island to withdraw pickets from the area.
 My own belief 'is," he said, ''that union men have been the victims of violence and not it's in- stigators. It is not part of our program. We deplore it. We call upon our members to remain with in the law, but we cannot fail to point back to the genesis of the trouble, laid by the mill owners themselves in one of the most ag- gravated cases of management ar- rogance in our whole situation"
 Thousands More Going Out
 Germans move to strengthen the strike forces indicated that thousands of hosiery, carpet, rug, dye, rayon and synthetic products workers might soon be called out. Many of these workers are already on strike but considerable numbers have remained at work under va- rious agreements with manufac- turers.
 s.If the textile industry thinks we have thus far exerted our full strength, it is mistaken" German declared.
 While Rhode Island was the focus of the strike crisis, there were other developments scattered along the 1,600-mile strike front. A national guard unit was dis patched to Burlington, N. C., early today. Guardsmen at High Point, N. C., arrested a group of pickets A temporary injunction restrain ing Paterson silk dyers was issued at Jersey City. No announcement came from the mediation board headed by Gov John c. Winant. Its peace efforts have broken down.
 While, the textile warfare went on, the oldest strike in the coun- try--the six months walkout of Montana Copper Miners and Allied Workers-was believed ended. A compromise offered by the Ana conda Copper company, was sub mitted to the union. It provides a wage increase, closed shop and an arbitration board to settle grievances

(Continued from Page 1.) the assets of the corporation would be brouG- back to the civil court and disposition made by the Wa terbury superior court. MT Weis- man said he could not understand MT BroEson's reason for the ap- peal.
 MT Bronson in his opening state- ments in which he explained he was seeking instructions from the court, stated that the act under which the receivership was re- moved to the federal courts. is H. egal. He said he prepared the ap- peal In behalf of the receiver and the corporation.
 Judge Booth Interrupts
 Judge Booth interrupted at this could not order the civil receiver receiver represented creditors and that if any of the creditors wanted to take an appeal it would be al- right. but. he continued, 'this court does not feel that it could authorize the receiver to take an appeal.
 MT Weisman explained that the civil receiver is still present in the superior cour. He pointed out that Judge Frederick M. Peasley had allowed fees of about $24,O00 to the receiver and counsel for the re- rceiver and that the latter owes about $20,000.
 When he had completed, MT Weisman explained that apparent ly MT Bronson's appeal was based on the illegality of the act under which the federal court proceed ings were instituted. That act. MT Weisman said, was passed by the United States Congress.

 City officials found it hard to analyze the sudden outburst of ter- rorism that stunned the city, ma- jority blamed it on foreign" emis- saries brought into Woonsocket in the textile strike cause.
 All incoming cars from Fall Xiv CT or Providence were closely ex- amined. Turned away at the city line, or permitted to proceed only after a thorough investigation of the passengers credentials.
 Two young men and four women from Fall River were questioned at police headquarters for more than an hour before they were released with warning to leave town and there were more than 40 ar- rests of riot suspects. One minor disturbance occurred early today. Shortly after l a. m., firemen at Engine company three were arous- ed by a group of five or six men who made a sudden raid and smashed furniture on the stations front porch. .4
 Veterans Take Action
 Both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars pass ed resolutions permitting their membership to serve as military guards, but as individuals rather than organizations. It was agreed that the veterans, as 8 body would remain neutral and impartial"
 Military headquarters were set up at the main office of the Woon- socket Rayon company, which was mass assault. From there Col. the target for Wednesday nights Hammond, boring over "war maps" directed the disposal of his troops the 11Sth engineers, the 103rd field artillery, and several medical units operating as combat troops. All through the night caissons rumbled through the city. A dark ened, fearful city, for all electric lights had been smashed by the rioters, and were out of commits sion save in the center of the town. With announcement that the Rayon company mills will not re- open, some of the tension was eased, and the military forces were believed to have the situation firmly
 under control. ~ Among the arrested men were several directly charged with loot ing. Police reported they had re- covered much of the jewelry stolen from a shop into which the rioters burst but there was no recovery of thousands of bottles of liquor snatched from another store. No Street Lights
 There were no street lights in the so-called Social district" where, through hours of horror, madden ed mill-hands rioted Wednesday night. No one was permitted to walk abroad last night. The side- walks resound only to the clang of hob-nailed boots, and the only H. lumination was from the flashlights of the military, who challenge every person who approached. These troops, although a major ity were youths, averaging perhaps 19 years of age, meant business. They had heavy clubs and side- arms and were backed by machine guns, riot guns, and gas guns. Some had axe handles.
 The center of Woensocket was wrecked. There were boards over every window in the main square, to protect the plate glass left in- tact by the mob. Some glass still was in the gutter.

 barricade erected by fleeing strik- CTS when they were driven from ] the mill. They had seized half 8

Nearly 500 applications for membership in the Citizens Vol unteer Motor Patrol have been re- ceived at the state department of motor vehicles since the announce ment by Commissioner Michael A. Connor that drivers with spotless records of car operation for the past five years would be welcomed into the ranks of the organization. Each application has to be checked against the departments files and, when approved as to record, is sent through for the commissioners signature on membership card. Two brightly colored seals are sent to the new member of the patrol, one to be placed in the lower right-hand corner of the rear win- dow and the other in the lower- right-hand corner of the wind shield. These seals of membership in the Citizens Volunteer Motor Patrol indicate to passing traffic that the car operator is a ''safe driver" and, in fact, has proven it by a record of five years without an accident chargeable to his careleSSneSS.
 The instructions sent to all mem bers of the Citizens Volunteer Motor Patrol are as follows:
 It is pleasure to enroll you in the Citizens Volunteer Motor Pa- trol. It is gratifying to know that you are among the many thou sands in the state who are willing to cooperate in the promotion of safe and courteous driving.
 We trust that the possession of the enclosed insignia will be cher ished by you, that you will be re- luctant to lose it and that you will continue to practice the care which has distinguished your driv- ing. The display of the enclosed insignia we hope will be an incen- tive to others to emulate your good record. We know that you will continue to keep your own clear.

POLAND SCORED
 BY SIR JOHN SIMON
tcontinued from Page l.,

kSSeS~>~~ - ' 71-'
 Sir John simon, British foreign secretary, speaking slowly and with biting irony, reminded Poland of her obligations-particularly to the Versailles treaty-and to the league. He said Britain and other signatories to the Polish minority treaty, under which Poland ac- cepted a guarantee by the league for protection of national minori- ties within her borders, declare 1t impossible for any state to release herself from such obligations by one-sided action. It was an implied threat that Poland's ultimatum re- jecting the minority clauses would not be accepted by the powers.
 Foreign Minister Louis Barthou of France joined Simon in censur- ing Poland's action. He indicated yesterdays speech of Joseph Beck. Polish foreign minister. announc- ing his country's attitude, might be interpreted as a threat or an att tempt to impose an already accom- plished fact on the league. France. the friend and ally of Polnad." Barthou said, cannot believe that M. Meck's speech would mean such consequences. which would arouse fears in some men and mite others to similar action." Barthou's speech was accorded the longest ovation of the present assembly.
 France and Britain, in reaffirm- ing the sanctity of treaties. gave Poland one of the worst censurings heard at the league in recent years. Barthou's condemnation was con- sidered open confirmation of the decay of the Franco-Polish alli- ance of 1921. After the speeches. it was widely rumored that Poland would quit the league. Polish dele gates, however. said such a move would be tactically ifadvisable at present. They admitted that Poland might retaliate against the league. possibly by withholding part of it's contribution to the league budget.
 Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy. supporting simon and Barthou. said he did not imagine Poland meant to repudiate her co-opera- tion with the league on minorities. "Itaiy," he said. twas the first to proclaim that the treaties must be revised to meet changed conditions. However, this adoption must be ef- fected legally and existing agree ments must be respected until new provisions replace them"

MILK SUPPLY
 HAS INCREASED

Boston, Sept 14-(UP)-A 2.5 per cent increase in avarage milk production per COW in this section during August over the correspond ing period last year was reported today by the New England Crop reporting service.
 Production, however, was 5.4 per cent below that of the preceding month and slightly lower than the five-year average.
 Except Massachusetts, all the New England states showed a gain. High grain prices and poor pastures apparently have not affected milk production.
