every chance of driving the loyal
lists back and marching into Ma
drid on the one side, while cutting
the capitals rail communications
to the coast on the other.
The loss of Toledo is a severe
loss to the loyalists. 1t was their
main source of munitions The
jubilant rebels were in no hurry
carefully consolidating their lines.
In the action along the Madrid
highway yesterday and today, the
rebels made no appreciable ad
vance, but took stand against a
furious loyalist counter attack.
Madrid was plainly apprehensive.
Government communiques made
the most of such highway sue
cesses as could be claimed but
the people were uneasy.
Anarchists and Communist lead
erS, heading powerful faction,
demanded universal conScription
to create a peoples army in which
service would be mandatory. They
demanded also immediate crea-
ton of workers national defense
committee to direct the defense
of the capital
Only desultory action occurred
on fronts other than the Toledo,
although renewed blasting of Owl
edo on the north coast may be
expected at any time. The gov
ernment said loyaTist planes drop
ped 1000 bombs on the city yes
terday. Malaga, on the south coast,
was bombed by rebels.
In naval action off the coast
of Gibraltar, a loyalist destroyer
was sunk and another crippled by
the rebel cruiser Almirante Ger
vera. 1t was estimated 155 men
may have gone down on the sunken
destroyer.

The men arrested were G. D.
Mensalves and Manuel Lutz. Sali-
mas police took them into custody
as they left a meeting of Filipino
workers who had convened to con-
slider a strike proposal.
Cenate said MenSalveS has been
imasquerading" as general secre-
tary of the Filipino labor union.
MenSalveS it was said, has been
the motivating force behind the
movement to strike in sympathy
with the members of the fruit and
vegetable workers union.
Cenate, in his statement, said:
ITO whom it may concern: This
is to certify that the Filipino Ia
Dor union is corporation organ
lied and existing under California
laws I am now and have been
the president of it the unions
bylaws make no provision for
the office of general secretary al
though one C. D. MenSalves dur
ing the past few days has repre-
Sented himself as general secretary
OF said corporation.
His assumption of said
office is unwarranted and unauth-
orized.
THE members of the Filipino
labor union have never voted to
join the members of the Fruits
and Vegetable Workers union in
their present strike, and the mem
bers of the corporation have no
intention of joining the strike"
Cenate believed his action would
forestall the threatened strike.
Meanwhile, in anticipation of pos
sible renewed violence in the event
the strike spread further, armed
patrols were reposted about ship
jing sheds where growers and
shippers are packing and loading
hot lettuce in defiance Of strik-
erS.

steps out of character the Yanks'

her 12-year-old aunt, Catherine Rest,

The Ambassador said the accident
happened when he attempted to start
his car after crashing into tree on
the Thirty-fourth street hill. The
fender had jammed against a front
