FOURTEEN SHOT
AND GASSED In
STRIKE RIOTS

KENT, O., June 18. (U.P)-Em-
battled pickets besieging the Black
and Decker Tool Co. plant were
ordered today to cease firing"
after a six-hour battle In which
seven strikers and strike breakers
huddled in the factory we're shot
and gasSed.
The order was issued by Strik-
erS' council as Sheriff E. L. Burr
attempted to work out a plan for
removing the 40 beleaguered strike
breakers from the bullet-battered
plant.
A mob of several hundred arm
ed pickets voted unanimously be-
hind their barricade of earth and
iron to permit the sheriff to re-
move strike-breakers from the
plant. 1t appeared at the time that
the national guard would take
command Of the situation if the
onslaught did not stop.
Crash Picket Line
National guard observers work
ed ceaselessly to remove the strike
breakers from the plant before the
force of 5000 strikers and SYM
pathizers was augmented by rub
Der workers from nearby Akron.
Firing opened shortly after s
a. m. today when two van loads
of strike breakers crashed the
picket lines, established May 3
when the company refused to
grant 10 per cent increase to
tool workers.
AS strike started for
the plant, pickets moved to stop
them. A barrage of tear gas,
buckshoC and gunsh0t was laid
by the strike-breakers.
Seven pickets fell, injured eth
er by the tear gas or shot. Others
ran for their rifles and returned
the fire. Before the strike -brakers
could entrench themselves behind
the factory doors, seven of their
number had been injured by bull
let's.
PicketS Infuriated
Infuriated picketS flanked the
plant on three sides and laid down
a continuous fire. Their main
stronghold was behind terrace
across the street ard $50 feet from
the three-story brick building.
They set up a galvanized iron
barricade atop the breastworks
and useG rifles in picking off"
moving figures inside the plant.
Strike-BreakerS said they had
two machine guns inside but their
guns were silent since they broke
through the picket lines shortly
after a. m. today.

accident on the same highway
north of Brawley. Her jugular
vein was severed. She was given
first aid at a BraWley hospital
and later taken to the county hos

up. Hospital attaches said her
condition was satisfactory and that
they expected her to recover. j.
R. Torres, of Westmorland, who
was driving the car, was said to
have escaped uninjured.

CITIES join
DISTRICT IN
new DEMAND
Government Asked to
Build Drops on
Canal

Three city councils in I'M
perial county Wednesday
approved plans for asking
the Reclamation Bureau to
construct foundations for
proposed power houses on the All
American canal at the same time
and under the same contract call
ing for the building of the five
drops available for power genera
tion.
City councils of Ell Centro. CAL
exico and Imperial endorsed res
olutions presented by representa-
tives of the Imperial Irrigation
district after it was explained this
type of construction would result
in saving in costs and eliminate
necessity of a special election and
a separate contract with the gov
ernment. ,.rs5.
Similar proposals are to be pre-
sented to other city councils and
organizations as rapidly as meet
ings are arranged, district Off
cials said.
The Imperial County farm bu-
reau arranged special meeting
of directors Saturday afternoon
to consider the proposal.
Ira Aten. district director, and
M. J. Dowd, district chief engin-
eer, appeared before the Ell Cen
tro council Wednesday night TO
explain the necessity of informing
Secretary Harold l.. Ickes of the
consensus of opinion in Imperial
Valley.
Decision Necessary
In explaining the necessity for
the resolutions of approval Of the
plan, Dowd said the Boulder cam
yon project act authorized con-
struction of the main canal and
appurtenant structures connecting
the Colorado river and Imperial
and Coachella Valleys both for
reclamation purposes and the gen.
Grafton of electric energy as q
means of making the project fl
nancially solvent The All Amer
ican canal contract made Dec. /.
1882, between the government and
the district, makes the same provi-
sion.
Canal construction has reached
the point where the type OF drops
to be installed must be selected
and the district officials wish to
have the drops and the power
house foundations built at the
same time to eliminate the neces-
sity of the drops having to be re-
modled later at a high cost, ac-
cording to- Dowd.
The cost of the drops desired by
the district, Dowd continued, are
to constitute a valid construction
charge against the district to be
repaid in accordance with the AL
American canal contract.
If built as part of the con-
tract, the cnarge will not carry
interest, resulting in saving to
valley residents.
