GENERAL ALARM
 FIRE IN DANBURY

Danbury, Conn, March ll-(UP) A general alarm fire destroyed the plant of thet Yarmeen Fur O., in the congested' industrial section of the city early today. It was the sec- ond fire at the two and one-half story frame factory within week. The cause of both was unknown. The blaze was discovered by police man a quarter or mile away, who saw the illumination of the flames in the sky. By the time apparatus arrived the interior of the struc- ture was a burning mass. A heavy rainfall aided firemen in preventing g spread to, nearby factories and dwellings.
 Tn less than an hour the building collapsed. owners said they recently had stocked up with fur pelts be- cause of a rising market and esti- mated their loss at $30,000. The fire of week ago caused $5,000 damage. The Yarmeen company prepares furs for hat making and was engaged in busy season. The building, rec tangularly formed, was built about 60 years ago.

MILITIA CALLED
 FOR SPAIN RIOTS

Madrid, March 1l.--(UP)--The government mustered infantrymen and artillery units today in an ef- fort to halt rioting throughout southern Spain. Martial law was de- clared in Granada where virtual Civil war existed between the troops and communists and leftists who have been burning churches and convents, destroying public buildings and fighting police since Saturday. At least IS have been killed and 60 wounded in the disorders.
 A mob of 2,000 communists and socialists marched on Madrid threatening to burn all convents and churches. They swept aside police who attempted to stop them but dispersed at the commands of their leaders after they had stormed pub- lie buildings in the suburb of Puente De Vallecas. The situation was most critical In Granada where, coincident with the declaration Of martial law, a general strike was extended for an additional 24 hours.

TO INVESTIGATE
 SAVING DEVICES

Washington. March li-CUP)-A house labor subcommittee today urged congress to take remedial steps, even beyond constitutional powers" to curb unemployment arising from increased industrial labor saving devices. The sub-com- mittee was appointed to consider a resolution asking the department of labor to survey effects of labor-sav- ing devices since 1912. The sub- committee recommended substi- ute resolution to make 1t manda- tory for the secretary of labor to report to congress on unemployment since 1920 resulting from industrial efforts to reduce production costs. Your b-committee, the report said, lis of the opinion that me- chanical and other labor saving de- vices are the chief cause of the growing number of unemployed and prematurely superannuated derelicts among laborers."
