Possibility of intervention by
Federal troops to preserve order
in strike-torn Rhode Island tex
tile areas dimmed today as Ma
tional Guardsmen consolidated
their control and established or
der throughout the region.
Gov. Theodore F.. Green, after
q conference with Brig Gen. Her
bert R. Dean, commander of the
State troops, announced:
"1he situation has improved
and unless there is a change
there will be no occasion to call
on the Federal Government for
troops"
Guard Increased
The 1000 National GuardSmen
did not relax their vigilance, how
ever, and extra guards were
posted at reservoirs and pumping
stations throughout the Cumber'
land Valley when the theft of Is
sticks of dynamite from a con-
tractor in Lincoln, r. J., was re-
ported.
1t was feared radicals might
have stolen the explosive with a
view toward cutting off water
supplies of Pawtucket and nearby
industrial communities.
The guard at the Sayles Finish
ing Company plant, at Saylesville,
scene of the bloodieSt riot in the
history of the State, was doubled
when National Guard officers re.
ceived an anonymous tip that
Communists planned to dynamite
the plant.
Death Toll Mounts
The death toll of the disorders
mounted to two with the death of
Charles Gorcynski. 1S, fatally
wounded in the Saylesville
clashes. Mr.. Gorcynski's name
was added to that of June Court
manche, 10, mortally wounded in
a riot at Woonsocket.
Police clubs swung freely in dis
persing an attempted uprising oi
500 hoodlums in Providence late
last night.
The situation at WoonSocket
was considerably quieter. Militia
men withdrew from the business
district. but barbed wire entangle-
ments still sprawled about the
WoonSocket Rayon Compan Y
plant. All liquor shops were closed,
theaters were darkened at night,
and general curfew was in eff.
feet.
At ashing ton, meanwhile,
strike leaders disavowed any re-
SponSibility for the Rhode Island
situation and went ahead with
plans to make the far-flung walk
out even more effective coincident
with peace moves by the Presi-
dents Mediation Board.

chairman, was drafting plans to

PAINT ON SHIP
PoIishes, Other Fire Hazards
Carried on Moro Castle,
Witness TeStifieS
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 G.N.S0.
Liquid polish and other highly in
flammable stores were used on the
ill-fated Moro Castle, according
to testimony at the Federal in.
quiry here today by William O'Sul-
livan, of New York city, the liners
deck Storekeeper.
This revelation created a sensa-
tion.
Mr.. O'Sullivan was asked by
Chairman Dickerson N. Hoover of
the inquiry board if there were
any inflammable stores aboard
the Moro Castle. He replied:
eyes, turpentine, kerosene and
varniShes."
Mr.. O'Sullivan testified he was
assistant boatswain as well as
storekeeper. He was asked:
what about those in
flammabIe paints?" i.
"DucO was one. They were
du POnt products, and highly
inflammable."
Q.-Do you think the use Of
this inflammable paint was
responsible for this fire?
Att would have helped it to
spread.
Q.-How much of this paint
was kept on hand?
A-There were about 200
gallons Of the Duco and Ducolex
in a forward locker.
Mr.. O'Sullivan was asked If the
liquid polish was concealed about
the ship. He replied:
50 eyes. A deck boy once asked
me about can he had found"
The Interrogation shifted to
discipline.
@. Was there the discipline
there should have been the night
of the disaster?
A. There was not what there
should have been.
@. Could the crew have re.
Sponded to proper orders?
A. Yes.
Mr.. O'sullivan said the fire
drills were insufficient. He ex-
planned:
"The stewards would be
ordered to decks but wouldn't go
to their stations. On the last
drill on Labor Day we had to
wait Is minutes while Chief
Officer Warns went down be-
low to kick rs men out Of their
bunkS."
A member of the board Of in.
quiry, Karl C. Nielsen, asked the
witness what action Mr.. Warns
took after the last drill when the
stewards held up the drill for IS
minutes. He replied:
"He finally got them up but
there was no disciplinary action"
Cant you remember the
name of the infalmmable polish?
A.-Well, it was some common
slang name, something like "Tip
Top" I'd know it if heard it.
Q.-Any gasoline aboard the
Moro Castle,
A.-TWo tanks near the bridge.
Q.-What was the gas for?
Al suppose for auxiliary
boats. I don't know.
Mr.. O'Sullivan said that during
drills the life boats were way
under-manned." He asserted.

standing at q boat station dur.

did you ever see the boats
lowered aflOat on a drill?"
"NO."

Foreign Trade Effect Feared as
King George, Prince Resent
Senate Probes SIurs
By International News Service

BY International News Service
Protests by two Cabinet men,
bers apparently curtailed the sem
sationalism of the Senate NUM-
tions Committees investigation
today.
The committee investigators re-
versed their former policy of
reading documentary evidence in
full and seemed to be pulling
their punches"
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
told the committee that he had
received numerous protests from
foreign government concerning
the bandying about of the names
of high officials, and Secretary
of Commerce Daniel C. Roper eX-
pressed fear that America would
lose foreign trade by reason Of
the committees disclosures.
King George Mad
The cabinet members and nearly
all of the committee members,
however, refrained from discuss
ing a secret conference which pre-
ceded today's meeting.
The British government has
been riled over the fact that King
George v and the Prince of Wales
have been pictured as munitions
statesmen and South American ma
tions have been worried about evi'
dence concerning bribery of gov
ernment officials.
It was the second time within
a week that Secretary Hull has
conferred with committee mem
berS.
Future evidence that the muni-
tions business was international in
scope, with armament makers CO.
operating with each other, on oc-
casion, to boost their sales, was
adduced before the Senate COM
mittee.
American assistance in relaxing
British restrictions against sup
plying arms to the rebel Canton
Chinese government was proposed
last year by r. Montague Smith,
joint agent in Asia for the du
Pont Company and a British af-
filiate, the Imperial Chemical In
dustries, Ltd.
Took No Action
The object was to facilitate
huge powder sales to Canton reb-
els who then were at swords
points with the Nanking Chinese
government, according to a memo
randum Smith sent to the du
Points, and put in the record.
The du Points, however, took no
action on the proposal, Major K.
K. V. Casey, head of the smoke
less powder division, testified.
Evidence that the du Points and
Mitsui and Ct, of Japan, eX-
changed information concerning
secret explosives inventions dur
ing the last few years also was
presented.
Pierre du Pont contended that
the information also pertained to
cheaper production of fertilizers.
Prices Too High
Pierre and Lamont du Pont, &C
companied by Senator Townsend
(RO Of Delaware, in March, 1882,
called on Assistant Secretary of
State Rodgers to discuss sale of
du Pont rights to hydrogen
process to the Japanese firm.
The deal failed of consumma-
ton. however, because the price
of the du Points was too high,
Lamont testified.

N speaking, the battle between
VI the all-star teams of the two

the big base ball interests providing
the talent are looking upon it as
private feud
Both sides are out to win and in

yesterday, can't see how the Cronin-
led crew can lose. John Heydler. big
boss of the National League. whose
headquarters are here, is sure the
Terry -piloted aggregation will be VIC
torious.
While John @. Fan isn't nominal
ing any favorite when it comes to
laying the iron men on the line, pre-
vailing opinion here is that the Ma
tional League team will cop this time
to get even for the triumph by the
American League outfit in Chicago
last year in the first of these dream
games"
Hark Back to Series.
a NALYZING the teams, man for
n man, it appears dangerous to
pick a winner, but most of the
boys are stringing along with the un-
expected victory in the world series
last Fall.
National League followers point out
that the American League lineup is
top heavy with left-handed batterS
and that these will be soft pickings
for Carl Hubbell with his southpaw
screw ball. Yet Hubbell, according
to Terry, will pitch only the first
three innings. And Lon Warneke
and Dizzy Dean will follow Hubbell
on the hill. Both are right-handers.
Then again, the National League
supporters note that Terry will start
a lineup in which all batterS except
ing himself will bat from the right
side. And that Cronin has elected
to start the left-handed Vernon
Gomez on the pitching peak.
Whether such lineup would up
set Senior Gomez is questionable.
When Gomez is in form it seems to
make no difference to him whether
the batter is on the right side or the
left side of the plate. Then again,
Cronin very likely will follow Gomez
with Mel Harder and Charley Rufting,
right handed both.
