Strikers Surround
 Riot Damaged Plant
Continued from Page D

I the pickets stoned the rear of fac- tory, smashing out all the windows and driving defenders away from that part of the building.
 Brilliant magnesium flares illum- mated the vicinity as the fighting progressed. They were brought into use after an irate woman picket, fired .22-calibre rife, shot out the fioodlights.
 Strikers held two mass meetings, one of them lasting until almost dawn. At the first, Sheriff Flower attempted to persuade the strikers to adopt peaceful picketing. He was hooted out of the hall.
 Later another mass meeting was held at which strike leaders formu- lated six-point plan to restore or- der: CD That pickets be permitted to resume their stations for peace- full picketing: (2) That spectators be held Q block away from the plant; (3) That Sheriff Flower per- init no cars to enter or leave the plant during the 48-hour emergency period; (D That all deputies be kept within the limits of the plant; (5) That tear and nauseating gas be abandoned, and (G That all legiti- mate pickets be identified by white arm bands so that damage done by outsiders would not be blamed on the union.
 Sheriff Flower and strike leaders agreed on all but the third point.
 Flying Squadron at Work
 The rioting here gave Summit county's flying squadron" the first opportunity to exhibit its nine months of special training in deal- ing with riots.
 The squadron was organized secretly last spring to cope with vio- lence expected in threatened strike in the rubber industry.
 Since that time Col. Johnston, national guard riot expert who has been active in labor disturbances for 25 years, has been training the men.
 The present number of guards in the plant is about 100, put 1000 more are on call. All the guards have been deputized by Sheriff Flower and are under his general direction. They are paid by the Ohio Insulator company.
 50 Guards Are Inside
 Fifty of the guards have been stationed in the plant sifice the strike began nine weeks ago, 1t was learned. Others were brought in by the company Tuesday night. Their equipment food and tear gas supplies are paid for by the com- pany.
 Of the 1000 men on call in the squadron, many have regular jobs. Some are members of the national guard.
 Strikers and company officials have negotiated at length to end the strike. Company officials said they offered compromise wage and union recognition proposal which the union agreed would be acted upon by secret ballot. The union later notified the company that the proposal he'd been voted down. Plant officials contended the action was taken by @ standing vote rather than by secret ballot, and decided to reopen the plant.

(Continued from Page l.) Italians, prayed devoutly in the churches, and visited all the wound- ed men he could. He spoke to each man simply and earnestly in such terms as:
 Tt is good to fight for your coan- try. You are @ good Ethiopian.
 The emperor refused firmly to talk about the war or to disclose the slightest detail of the military situation or his tactical or strateg- ical intentions.
 The emperor spent Tuesday, after his flight from the capital, at Jiji- ga, comforting and urging his men to battle pitch.
 Immediately upon his arrival here Wednesday he went to pray at St. Michael's church. His bodyguards knelt nearby while two attendants held up @ large white cloth to screen him.
 Visited Hospitals
 Next the emperor visited the tomb he is having built for his fathers remains and then he visited all the war wounded in the Swedish mis- sion hospital. He visited the other hospitals and rested for little while at the palace of the Duke of Harar, his son. At the place he conferred with the Fitourari Tes- samme Bante and other high ofn. cials.
 Secrecy regarding the emperor's movements caused many rumoiS behind the lines. But his presence encouraged the people and the sol- diers, who had talked hopelessly be- fore about their chances to win an engagement against Italy's mechan- ized army and planes.

(Continued from Page i.) review the case because 1t pre-. sented no question of federal rights because Hauptmann had a fair trial and is now being held in custody having been convicted in accord ance with due process of law"
 Categorically the brief asserted that Wilentzs summation was prop erly based on the evidence in the case, that Hauptmann's cross -exai1l- ination by the fiery Wilentz was proper, that there was no variation in the theory of the crime, that trenchard's charge was in accord with the law, and the facts, and that the jury was properly "seques- tered" during the trial.
 Did Not Lose Rights
 Tt is respectfully submitted that the petitioner has not shown him self to have been deprived of any rights guaranteed him under the 14th amendment to the Constitution and that he has been convicted and is now in custody in accordance with the due process of law" the plea concluded.
 If the court refuses to review the case, an action believed more than likely, the trial court which origin ally sentenced Hauptimann will rec sentence him. It was no alterna- tive but to re-impose the death penalty.
 Following such a procedure his attorneys are expected to appeal to the New Jersey governor for execu- tive clemency and, possibly, to make new appeals through habeas corpus proceedings. Such steps do not ordinarily delay the carrying out of the death penalty.

Doctor Warriner Sticks To Story
(Continued from Page D

What precipiated the inquiry was the statement by Dr. Myron A, Warriner, 79-year old Bridgeport, Conn.,, physician, that in 1877 he drugged to death 8 wounded North Brookfield man he remembers only as 'Le Tourneau."
 Mccarthy was assigned here by District Attorney Owen A. Hoban of Worcester county Ito determine the facts.
 It was generally conceded that 1t would be difficult to prosecute Dr. Warriner even if his confession" were confirmed, since the law re- quires production of the corpus delicti.
 Relative still Denies Dr. Emerson A. Ludden, "A, dean of the otwn's doctors and brother in-law of Adolphus Le Tourneau, the supposed mercy victim, has openly challenged hte truth of Dr. Mariners story. Equally skeptical are two spinster daughters and a sister of Le Tourneau.
 Authorities had hoped that tho signature on Le Tourneau's death certificate would definitely establish whethe Dr. Warriner was the at- tending physician. But Town Clerk James Ivory reported today that death certificates were on file only as far back as 1890. The only rec ord of Le Tourneaus' death was a notation that he died from @ gum ming accident.
 Army Doctor in Charge
 Dr. Ludden and Le Tourneau's three surviving relatives recalled that the attending physician was Dr. Warren Tyler, an elderly army doctor. But to-day John r. Cough lin, 75, @ brother -in-law of the man who accompanied Le Tourneau on his fatal hunting trip, said he dis tinctly" recalled that Dr. Warriner attended Le Tourneau.
 Subsequently another elderly resi- dent partly corroborated Coughlin's story. This man recalled tha tat the time of the accident he went for Dr. Tyler, the Le Tourneau family physician, but found him un- available and called Dr. Warriner. It was later that Dr. Tyler entered the case, this man said.
 Mercy Deaths Condemned
 Columbai, Mo-, Nov. 2l.-(UP) - Suicides are not Justified, mercy deaths do not lie within the pro- vince of men and 1t is 0 fallacy to urge the greatest happiness for the greatest number, according to Dr. Jay William Hudson, author oi sev- eral philosophical books and profess sor ct the University of Missouri.
 Tn a new book, "Why Democracy: A study of the philosophy of state" pr. Hudson says:
 we are compelled to say that the right to life is absolute; no man or group of men has the right to kill anybody for any reason whatsoever.
 Tt is . fallacy to urge the great est happiness for the greatest num- ber; 1t Is the greatest welfare of all that we are bound to seek when we are true to our meanings"
 Of suicides the author wrote:
 By far the greatest number of suicides are acts issuing from im- pulse, not moral deliberation. They are essentially selfish and irrational and are as morally blameworthy as any act not duly Justified by reflec- tive reason"

 Many windows in the plant had been broken by the stones and bricks thrown by strikers. The company manufactures crockery insulators for high tension wires The rioting began yesterday morn- ing when the company attempted to reopen its plant, continued furiously all day, and on into the night.
 Rifle Fire Killed Lights
 Flood lights Illuminating the fac- tory building were extinguished by rifle fire and in the darkness the strikers charged again and again. They were turned back each time. Early today, the guafiis turned them back with high pressure streams ot water from the fire hose.
 Just before dawn came a lull in the fighting while officials of the National Brotherhood of Operating Potters negotiated with Sheriff Jim Flower and Mayor Earl Davis to- ward setting up a six-point agree ment to bring about peaceful picket ing.
 Agreement was reached on all but one point -- that the sheriff keer all automobiles and trucks from entering the plant.

 Nine Weeks Duration
 The strike began nine weeks agC was peaceful until the company sought to reopen the plant yester. day. The union demands 0 20 pei cent wage increase, union recogni. tion and seniority rights.
 Pickets gathered around the plan before 1t opened. They attacked with clubs and stones every automo. bile which attempted to take work. CTS into the factory. Each time they were beaten back by company guards under the direction of Col Joe Johnston, who received his riot training in the national guard.
 All day and most of the night the fioting continued. Each attack oi the pickets was met by a barragt of gas. Half-blinded and sickeneo by the acreod vapor, the pickets nevertheless pushed stubbornly ahead to engage the guards irl hand-to-hand skirmishes.
 The steel-helmeted guards were armed with tear gas bombs. The strikers carried clubs and bricks.
 Last night the direction of the wind changed, blowing the gas back in the faces of the guards.
 Plant Was Stormed
 Taking quick advantage, the strik- CTS stormed the plant entrance. Shortly before midnight they suc- ceeded in pushing down the door of the gate house." Unable to stem the frontal attack, guards brought out fire hose. Col. Johnston and several other defenders were in- jured by clubs and stones.
