GLASS STRIKE
DEADL0CKED

TOLEDO. Ohio, Dec. %
GN.S0.-The strike of flat glass
workers in various parts of the
country today appeared hope
lesSly deadlocked, and employees
of the Liberty-O Owens-Ford Glass
Co. in Toledo and three other
cities faced an idle holiday
period.
Negotiations are at a stand
still, according to Glen w. Nc
Cabe, president of the Federation
of Flat Glass Workers. He said
the next move is up to the COM
pany or the Federal Labor De-
partment. Company officials
said there was no change in the
situation.
The strike in the flat glass in
dustry, which manufactures prac-
tically all the automobile glass in
this country, and other strikes
affecting various parts plants,
are threatening to tie up the
auto industry.

TIRE OF SPAIN

GENEVA, Sept. % QN.S0.
Delegates of several Latin-Amer-
lean countries limited privately to-
day that their governments are
considering following the example
of Uruguay and breaking off diplo-
matte relations with Spain.
The one-time colonies of Spain
are swinging towards UruguayS
conviction that the present Madrid
government is no longer able to
protect the lives and property of
foreigners, as shown by the re
ported murder of three sisters Of
the Uruguayan vice-conSul in
Madrid.
Thus the Spanish civil war prob
lem, which Geneva had hoped to
Soft-pedal, came to the fore again
with a curious tie-up between the
Spanish and Ethiopian questions.
The Spanish delegate to the League
of Nations Assembly, S. Offorio y
Ganardo, was elected vice preSi-
dent Of the juridical commission
which will play an important part
in judging the fate of Ethiopia S
delegation.
Meanwhile, so long as the Abys,

will continue torefuse collabora'

DISORDERS
Strike-Breaker Tells
OF SIugging to Get
More Guards Jobs
International News Service


E. j. McDade, of Chicago, who
said he spoke from Is years ex-
perience, told the La Toilette Sen.
ate Labor Subcommittee today
that trike-breaking agencies at
times create disorder so that they
can sell the services Of more
guards to companies.
The witness said he had worked
for the Railway Audit and InSpec-
ton Company, the Pearl Bergoff
Agency and others in guarding
strikes and in helping to break
strikes.
Under questioning by Senator
La Toilette CP), of Wisconsin,
chairman of the subcommittee,
and Senator Thomas CD of Utah,
McDade detailed his experiences
in many labor disputes.
Guards Slugged Workers
He cited an incident in which
strike-breaking guards were or
dered to slug workers in order to
create a call for extra guards in
the silk strike in Cleveland in
1921. He said that he worked for
the Fields Agency at Cleveland at
the time.
Cars were turned over ard dyna-
mite was planted outside the citv
and discovered" by the guards, he
said.
He told Senator LaFol.ette he
had heard of cases in which
guards would fire on other guards
in an effort to create more jobs
The first case he discussed was
a longshoremen's strike at Lake
Charles, La. He said that machine
guns were furnished Railway Audit
men by the Federal Laboratory
Company and that two guards
were killed in a battle.
Got $12 a Day
In 1929, he said, between 900
and 900 strike breakers were taken
to New Orleans during a street
car strike. The basis pay, he said,
was So a day for an eight hour
day. Overtime brought wages for
some up to $12 day, he added.
Senator La Toilette asked:
'DO you ever have any trouble
getting strike breakerS?"
NO." was the reply.
Many men hang around certain
hotels and lodging places in Chi
cago and New York expecting to
obtain strike breaking jobs, he
said. Under questioning, he esti-
mated that 20 per cent of the
guards and strike breakers work
ing in Milwaukee in 1884 during
a power strike had police records.
McDade said that he worked for
the Bergoff agency, which supplied
TOO men for the Wisconsin Light
and Power Company strike. Most
of them came from Chicago and
New York, he said.
Used Steam Hose
Between 300 and 400 guards at
a power plant out of Milwaukee
were furnished with pick-ax
handles, he said. Steam hose was
connected with boilers so that
they could be turned on if the
plant were rushed by sympa-
thizerS.
He said he understood that con-
cealed electric wires were strung
about the plant and that one sym
pathizer was electrocuted.

Americas Nc. song-and- dance
man, Al Jolson, is back in town at
the Indiana in his newest film,
The Singing Kid" To many of
us that's tip enough.
To others, however, We wish to
add that Mr.. Jolson most decidedly
is rot all there is to the film. There
is Cab Galloway and his band, new
heroine, Beverly Roberts, and those
fast-climbing song clowns, the Yacht
Club Boys.
But most important of all is the
fact that Edward Everett Horton
and Allen Jenkins form one of the
best comedy teams of the year.
Story Is Weak
"The Singing Kid" has the usu-
al fault of musicals, a shabby story.
This time it's about Al Jackson Cal
folsom, Broadway star, whose in
fatuation for Dana Lawrence
Claire .Dodd), makes him blind to
the fact that she's two-timing him,
with his manager, Bob Carey Oyle
Talbott), as her partner in crime.
The two take AIS money but fail
to turn in his income tax report.
just as al is at the peak of his
season, income tax collectors nab
him, force him to pay thousands in
back taxes. This all but blasts his
fortune. To add to his worries, he
finds that Dana has skipped the
country with Bob, and, to wind
things up right, he loses his voice.
With his secretary, Davenport
Rogers (Mr. HortonD, and his gag
man, Joe Eddy (Mr. Jenkins, AL
rents little cottage in the country.
They find the landlords are pretty
little would-be playwright, Ruth
Haines miss Roberts,, and her sis
ter, Sybil (Sybil JASON. The coun-
try air and romantic atmosphere
get into AIS veins and he falls in
love with Ruth. Little Sybil wins
Joe and Davenport.
Song Should Be a Hit
When Ruth finishes a play she
has written, AL sends $500 to New
York with instructions to friend
to buy it even though it is bad
drama. Ruth, learning of the
scheme, tears up the check and
walks out on AL.
Al finds his voice again, goes back
to New York but can't get his mind
on his work. Ready to run out on
the show, he steps into taxi in
front of the theater. In it he finds
Sybil and Ruth. You can guess the
rest.
AL runs true to form in several
songs done in his unique style. Best
OF them is Il Love To Sing-A, which
is also excellently played and sung
by Mr.. Galloway.
