BILL
RUSHED BY BLUM
Premier Obtains Cabinet
Approval in New
Strike Crisis.
By the Associated Press.

% tAC aooOSiatca EACSSs
PARIS, November 27.-Premier Leon
Blum in lightninglike maneuver to-
day obtained his cabinets approval for
compulsory arbitration bill to COM
bat a critical break between capital
and labor without even calling them
into session.
The premier hurried from minister
to minister to get their individual con-
sent to the measure.
He planned to see President Albert
Lebrun before the Chamber Of Depu-
ties met In the afternoon so that he
could present the bill with the full
backing Of the government.
The sudden break in the tense labor
situation had already caused the pre-
mier to invoke his power compelling
labor disputants to arbitrate questions
of increased costs Of living and de-
mands for higher wages.
Government Position.
The second project empowers the
government to institute compulsory
arbitration in disputes not covered
by the premier's invoked decree.
The Socialist premier ordered the
decree invoking his power drafted i'm
mediately and called q meeting Of the
National Economic Council to approve
his step.
A new wave OF occupation strikes
spread over France following refusal
of employers to negotiate as long as
their factories are occupied by strikers.
Twenty thousand metal workers Of
the Sambre Basin around Maubege
struck. Many stayed in their factories,
declaring they would remain until
collective contracts are signed.
Similar Strikes Considered.
Metallurgical unions of the Valen-
ciennes region, where $4,000 metal
workers are employed, were considering
similar strikes. Omcials Of the metal
lurgical unions at Lille said an occu-
patton strike in that area. where 5000
workers are out, might spread to in
clude all $4,000 industrial workers ct
Lille.
The cabinet was summoned to meet
later in the day with the possibility
that the Blum decree controlling only
disputes over increased costs of living
and demands for higher wages-would
be published tomorrow in the ofncial
journal.

Populace Burrows to Escape Inces.
SAINT Bombings.

~ the Associate Press.
MADRID, November 27.-The be-
sieged people of Madrid began today
to turn their bomb-torn city into a
vast labyrinth Of underground pas
sages.
Selling whatever implements were
available, or using their bare hands,
householders began tunneling from
cellar to cellar to provide places of
refuge in case their homes are brought
crashing down upon their heads.
During the devastating shelling Of
the last three weeks, hundreds of
refugees In the Easements of the city
have died by asphyxiation. Against
the grim prospects Of being smothered
or crushed to death, Madrilenos
sought to establish q means of escape

Spades Are at Premium.
Their task was made difficult by the
fact that almost every available spade
in the city has been pressed into use
Tor the building Of fortiflcations.
Meanwhile, at Valencia, 70 Ameri-
cans awaited evacuation from Spain
aboard the United States cruiser
Raleigh. following a safe but trying
trip from the closed embassy here.
The weather in Madrid frightened
after two days Of rain, but there still
were few pedestrians on the central
streets.
Scared by shells and air bombs,
the .city's most beautiful buildings,
with torn curtains Tapping through
Jagged window panes, resembled the
structures Of Flanders 20 years ago.
The air raids and artillery barrages
no longer we're an attraction as q
public spectacle. Madrid was somber,
even in dress. Women forgot their
anery and went about listlessly in
Kitchen sttire, or even in bath robes.
Food Il Problem.
The defense food supply commits
tariat worked hard at transporting
supplies from Eastern Spain. It vir.
tually had succeeded in placing the
whole city on vegetarian diet, due
10 the scarcity Of meat.
However, herds of sheep were graz
ing on the lawn and in the gardens

ants brought sheep. pigs and fowls
from outlying districts to live with
them In their new refuge In the sAla-

but flsh were not. Many were taken
from ornamental ponds and eaten.

Twelve persons were taken to hos

regular Baltimore & Ohio train pulled
In at $50 am. Once employees and
maintenance men have been using the

Dundon said: I'VE have reason to
believe the company has been bringing
production workers into the plant in
violation of the companys promise
that only ofdce workers and mainte.

the plant"
He added that the pickets gathered
around the train and that four State
police and three railroad company
omcers attempted to push them away
from the train. but were unable to
restrain the men.
Dundon charged that the plant po-
lice and guards then ran from the
factory grounds and used their clubs
to disperse the strikers. He said two
shots were fired by the guards during
the melee. but apparently both were
fired into the air.
