 Madrid, October 5- (UP) - A revolutionary general strike, socialistic in nature, broke out in Spain today, re- sulting in serious fighting and many casualties.
 In mid-afternoon, tn e known casualties were IS dead and 16 wounded, but the list was obviously incomplete and undoubtedly will be higher. The fate of Spain's three year-old republic appeared to hinge on outcome of fighting be- tween left wing rebels and the right wing fascist factions.
 Martial law, also known as Es- tado Guerra, or state of war. was declared in the northwestern province of Asturias, where the strike assumed proportions of open revolution against the government. At least 6 civil guards and g civil lS1lIS SO ldI WSI0 hnOWA bO AoNC been killed there and the extent of the fighting indicated the total dead and injured would be high.
 The outbreak. backed by social ists, communists and labor syndi- calists, was carefully planned with the aid of military experts. It was aimed against the new govern ment of Premier Alejandro Ter roux, based on the center and right, which the left wing de- clares to be fascist in nature.
 Troops and civil guards were mobilized throughout the country to cope with the revolt. Industry. business, transportation, utilities services and shops were wholly or partll paralyzed in many parts of the. country. <.
 Rioting and lighting was wide spread !. Heavy fighting broke out at s1:15 D. m. in Santa Isabel street in

San Francisco, October B. (UP) - Fair wages to the worker and fair profits to the employer go hand in hand to promote prosperity, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins said today in addressing the A m e rica n Federation of Labor.
 Although speaking before representatives of trade mn ionism, Miss Perkins gave further assurances to busisesS that the Roosevelt administration! is not seeking to curtail or e1trni- nate the profit motive in indusfrTs
 She coupled this with a plea that workers utilize the mediation n.4@ chinery set up by the federal Eov<f ernment and with promise that unemployment insurance and ol4 age pensions would be a part o4 the social insurance program noW being framed in Washington.
 Every individual employer and company has the right, as know you will agree" she said, .ox making a profit, for the savings cx many people are invested in indus try and they are entitled to expect the maintenance of profits. But by| the same token it must be recoG~ nized that workers are entitled to' fair wages based puon the ab1litX of employers to make fair profif
 "The close relation between Eoo( wages and steady profits ls vef3 clear in our American economysz The eight hour day and th& general use of the automobile eax1e. at the same time and the reiaflou is not accidental" X
 Miss Perkins did not touch TT the 30-hour week being den11Hd49 by the federation. Washington di1- patches indicate that administr4< ton does not favor an inflexible af~ rangement of this type.
 Mentioning boards of arbftrafl0u made possible by the governm3ut in connection with controversial collective bargaining cases, Madame Secretary said:

ACTION IS URGED BY
 JUDGE BOOTH IN BANK LIQUIDATION
8O% of Assets Now Frog en, Declares Thomas F.
 Moore to Court ],

Forced action was suggested by Judge John Rufus Booth in supe. rior court today as 8 means o1 bringing about a quicker liquida. tion of the remaining four million dollars worth of assets of the Mer- chants Trust Co. Judge Booth made the suggestion during discussion of the semi-annual statement o1 the doings of the receiver, the Cit izens & Manufacturer National Bank which was filed today.
 It is understood that the receiver will take immediate steps along the lines suggested by the court.
 Judge Booth said he appreciated that the receiver was doing every thing possible in the liuqidation of the assets, but that. 1t is the duty of the court to see that receiver ships are wound up and cash distribution made to creditors.
 Thomas F. Moore, one of the re- ceiver's officials stated that prac- tically 80 per cent of the assets are highly frozen.
 Judge Booth in his discussion of the ,receivership said the receiver should bend every effort to reduce the remaining assets to cash. He suggested the bringing of suits as one means of forcing the liquida- tion. He added that it is human na- ture for people to defer payments to a receivership but that with forced action satisfactory results might be obtained. He supplement- ed his remarks by stating he was advancing the idea only as a sug- gestion.
 He called attention to the amount of notes secured by collat- eral and those unsecured by col lateral as one 2 means wherein forced action could be taken.
 MT Moore said that most of the collateral put up to secure the notes consists of stocks that are far below the value they were when they were advanced as collateral and that the value is below the face amount of the note.
 Mir Moore pointed out that three- quarters of a million dollars wort h of assets are first mortgages which are impossible to reduce to imme- diate cash, another three quarters of a million are foreclosed proper ties which also are impossible of immediate liquidation and that an- other half million are stocks and bonds which the receiver has been holding for the market to- turn

WATERBURY GETS
 SECOND STATION LATE THIS MONTH
WlXBS, Owned By Ameri- can=Republican Starts
 Operating Soon

The second radio station to begin operation in Waterbury this year. bearing the temporary call letters W1XBS, will put its first program on the air later this month, with the tentative opening date being Oct Is. Studios are being rapidly pushed to completion in the sta- tion's quarters in the rooms for merly occupied by the Knights of Columbus in the Waterbury Trust Co building on Grand street.
 Allen Martin, studio manager of W1XBS, said today that the station will be affiliated with the American Broadcasting system, newly organ ized network which has WMCA, New York, as it's key station. The new station will be on the air from 15 to 16 hours each day, broadcast ing with 1000 watts of power on a frequency of 1530 3kilocycles.
 W1XBS has been licensed by the Federal Communications Commis- sion as an experimental station and will be operated by the Waterbury American n-Republican, Inc. It is expected that later on the station will be assigned new call letters by the radio division of the commis- sion.
 The stations transmitter is now in the process of construction at Prospect, while local programs will originate mainly from the Grand street studios. W1XBS will feature both network and local programs in it's daily broadcasts, when not engaged in experiments in the tech- nical side of broadcasting for the federal radio commission.
 The new station will make Wa terbury the only city in the state, except Hartford, which has two stations. and the only city of its size in the country to have two individ. ual stations. WATR was opened here last June.
