FEAR bREMER
WAS KILLED
BY WILLIAM f. HALLBERG
United Press Staff Correspondent

ST. PAUL, Jan. %. Federal
agents, fearing "'second Lindbergh
case'', massed their forces today
for a comprehensive drive against
band of deSperadoes which kidnapped
Edward G.. Bremen &c., banker, for
100000 ransom.
Agents with experience in half a
dozen major kidnapping cases had
little hope that Bremen would be
returned alive. In response to the
fIenzied pleas of the victim IS faith
err, Adolph Bremen, friend of Pres
ident Roosevelt and an outstanding
banker and brewer, agents had not
yet actively intervened in the case.
The belief that young Bremei'
met death, grew out of the failure
of the kidnaperS to contact the
Bremen family since a few hours
after Bremen disappeared last We'd
neSday. BloodstainS were found in
the front seat of the automobile
from which the banker had been
seized.
So certain were authorities that
Bremen had been killed, they called
a conference with the elder Bremen
last night and urged that he allow
them to begin their hunt. Police
revealed that they were investigat-
ing note received by w. c. Rob-
artson, Minneapolis postmaster,
which gave instructions for finding
Bremer's body. The note contain
ed a crudely sketched map. AL
though the note was labeled the
work of a crank, it served as the
basis of a "a hour search.
Bremen pleaded for another day
without police interference. He said
members of his family believed the
bloodstainS in Edward S automobile
were the result of a scuffle. He
said his son would not have sub
mitted to kidnapers without fight
Authorities agreed not to inter-
fere. 1t was learned that Walter
Magee, friend of the kidnapped man
and first notified of the kidnapping,
had dropped from sight. 1t was
believed he may have received an
other message from the abductors.

VIOLENCE IN
COAST STRIKE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. %. U.P)-
What authorities described as an
attempt to organize CWA workers
into a Construction Workers Indus
trial union on a platform of high
er pay and more work was revealed
here today on the heels of labor
disorders in the milk industry.
Capt. William Bright of the sher-
iff IS office announced he would
seek warrants for the arrest of sew
eral leading labor agitators in con-
nection with the kidnapping last
week of three dairy workers. Five
persons already are under arrest in
an investigation of the abduction.
Captain Bright revealed plans to
organize civil works employees when
his deputies seized pamphlets in
tended for circulation which called
for a mass meeting for next We'd
nesday night, when organization of
the union was to be considered.
An investigation into a mysterious
attack upon two employees of Re-
lance Dairy No. l at Norwalk late
last night was launched by author
tiles. An automobile containing two
! men twice sped past the dairy, and
the workers, Frank Coomes and
Harley Carr, were fired upon. The
bullets went astray.
The attack followed a week-end
clash between deputy sheriffs and
more than 1000 strike sympathizers
in Los Angeles The deputies who
had gone there to search for sus-
poets in the abduction of dairy
workers, were forced to summon
police and firemen. Tear gas bombs
dispersed the mob before firemen
were able TO Law their hocec

Crews of agitatorS are still active
in the county according to word
received at the sheriff's office this
morning. These men seek to in
fluence workers to leave the fields
and join the ranks of those who
went out on strike here a short
time ago.
To the present, it was said, this
has not been at all successful and
most of the workers who have
not allied themselves with the strike
movement are having nothing to
do with it. No arrests were re-
ported and no outbreaks of seri-
GUS trouble were brought to the
attention of county officials over
the weekend.
Permission to hold a meeting in
BraWley tomorrow night at which
time speakers from San Diego and
Los Angeles were to talk on the
denial of constitutional rights to
the strikers has been denied those
making arrangements for the meet
ing. 1t has not been definitely
learned whether the sponsors OF
this meeting will attempt to hold
it as scheduled or not.
Grover G. Johnson, San Ber-
nardino attorney, who was cited
for contempt OF court by Judge
Thompson when he failed to appear
Friday afternoon to argue a motion
for writ OF habeas corpus in
favor OF Al strikers now in the
county Jail. sent telegram OF eX-
PLANTATION to Judge Thompson. The
court had ordered bench warrant
issued for Johnson's arrest and his
appearance in court this morning
to explain the reason for his alb
sence on Friday. This warrant
was not served following the re-
ceipt of Johnson's wire in which
he promised to be here without
fail tomorrow afternoon when the
writ petition will be heard.
