called by the Central Labor Union
had been cancelled, effective at 2
O'Clock this afternoon.
BY the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, Del, April Brick
throwing, window smashing and other
sporadic disorders marked the start OF
a strike of the building trades called
by the Central Labor Union to enforce
a settlement of a truck drivers strike.
Eleventh-hour efforts of Gov Rich
ard C. McMullen and Mayor Walter c.
Bacon failed to prevent the strike from
going into effect. Union leaders said
they intended eventually to pull OUT
every one of Wilmington's $500 or
ganized workers.
The walkout began several hours
after police arrested two union officials
on warrants charging assault and bat
terry and threats to do bodily harm
They were released in bail.
AS Saturday is holiday in many
industries, it was not possible to learn
to what extent the Central Labor
Union strike call had been obeyed.
Windows Are Smashed.
Windows of number of central city
buildings were smashed Brakes of
parked chain store truck were released
and the vehicle smashed into build
ing near Eleventh and King streets.
No serious injuries were reported.

operators of street cars and buses
to join the Walkout.
The strike frightened the tie-up of
trucking and brought out workers in
the building trades, but several key
unions asked their international head
quarters for instructions, doubling the
power of the Wilmington Central
Labor Union to compel a general
walkout
Among these workers who did not
Immediately answer the call were the
trolley car employees and members Of
the typogra phical union in the city's
two newspapers.
The union did not include milk
and bakery wagon drivers in the
general strike order, and deliveries
of these necessities continued.
Trouble Over Pay Raise.
The trouble developed from strike
started March Is. In an effort to
obtain increase in pay and new work
ing arrangements, drivers and helpers
employed by long-haul truck operators
who had not granted the Philadelphia
union scale went out. They were ask
ing for $4850 a week for long haul
drivers and $28 for helpers, and $34
for local drivers and $27 for helpers,
with an eight-hour day and six-day
week
A few of the employers agreed.

Bs the Associated Press.
Two Of the bitterest, bloodiest and
most important battles Of the Spanish
civil war ragged on widely separated
fronts today.
In the northern sector near Bilbao
the Spanish government rushed mobil-
ization of all available fighting men
to repel big insurgent advance and
sent its militiamen up a 4,600-foot
mountain peak to block one segment
Of the assault
Far to the south in Cordoba Province
opposing armies still were locked in a
furious struggle for the possession Of
rich mining country. But here, the
insurgents were on the defensive.
The success or failure Of the in
surgent drive in Northern Spain was
construed in many quarters as likely
to have decisive effect on the future
of insurgent Generalissimo Francisco
Franco, particularly in view of recent
losses in the Guadala lara sector north
east Of Madrid
Should he capture Bilbao, more than
200 miles north of Madrid on the Bay
Of Biscay, he would be in a position
to control all ports along the Northern
Spanish Coast and cut of ready ac
ccssibility of supplies for government
troops there.
In the Cordoba sector government
troops launched double attack de-
signed to trap $4,000 Spanish and
Italian insurgents IN what was said
may be one Of the great mass slaugh-
tiers of the war
Cordoba, about $50 miles south OF
Madrid, is an important supply base
for the insurgent forces. Insurgents
were reported to have retreated more
than is miles after an unsuccessful
siege of PoZoblanco.
Northern supporters of the Valencia
government also started a new cam
paign against Oviedo, long-besieged
provincial capital in the Asturias Sec
tor, heavily shelling insurgent posi-
tions in the city.
