AUTO UNION OUT
 TO DEFEAT FORD
Campaign Intensified That Will Organize 10000
 of Ford Workers

Detroit, May 18 = (U.P0 - The United Automobile Workers Union intensified its campaign to organ ize 10000 Ford Motor Company employees today, while union com- mittee sought a basis for charging Henry Ford with violation of the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
 The charge might be based on the veterans manufacturers efforts to discourage his workers from joining any union. Each employe received a small card yesterday, bearing "Ford- isms" attacking unions and declar- ing that the company always made a better bargain for our men than an outsider could."
 Homer Martin, president of the U. A. w.. announced after a union meeting last night that he had or dered organizers to quicken their drive to unionize Ford's factories, and said decision would be reach ed next week on a proposal to place formal charges against Ford before the regional director of the Nation al Labor Relations Board.
 "Ford workers won't be fooled by his (Ford's) quaint sayings" Mar tin said. "They know they can't eat empty isnls!"
 Richard T. Frankensteen, organ izational director of the union, who was placed in command of the Ford campaign, announced that the names of Ford workers who joined would be guarded closely. and that no mass meetings would be held until late in the summer, "when we have enough members to protect each other"

Riual Labor Bodies WiH Haue Trouble m Hartford

rconnected with the Gray Lines Bus Corp, threatened to strike before the day was out unless Morris Alex ander, dismissed union employe was reinstated. Directors of the line re- fused to do so at a meeting late yesterday, officials of the Amal- gamated Association of Street and Electric Railway and Motor Coach Operators of America charged Alexander was dropped due to union activities. The number of employees who may be affected by 8 possible strike was not known.
 Brighter news came from the same city when it was revealed that 24 of 60 ash and garbage collection workers who went on strike two weeks ago have been rehired by the Socialist city administration. John Warner, chairman of strikers committee, urged Deputy State Labor Commissioner Morgan R. Mooney to speed his inquiry into the strike to permit quicker re- hiring of the 36 men still out oi work. They quit when a union employe was dismissed. Mayor Jas per McLevy announced shortly thereafter none would be rehired.
 At Yantic, the state board of meditation and arbitration settled strike of 190 employees of the Mill brook Woolen Go. All of the strikers were rehired under the agreement which called for 10 per cent wage increase. The firm also agreed to recognize the Textile Workers Union A. 0. I.

crime, which began in Rockford with the staying of Albin Theander, a tailor.
 Brockelhurst was quoted by police as saying that he wanted to die in the electric chair and not by hang ing, and that he hoped he would not have long to wait. Arkansas uses the chair. Since his arrest with Miss Felton last Thursday, he has harrassed Dutches County jail off, cials by screaming and fainting. Jail physicians said he was suffering from serious heart ailment."
 The couple were arrested at De- yer Plains, N. Y., by State Trooper Joseph Hunt, whose suspicion was aroused because their automobile bore only one license plate. Brockel- hurst readily admitted the three murders, police said, while his sweetheart clung to his arm and announced that she was pregnant. Physicians examined her later and said her statement was ridiculous.
 New York authorities held them on a charge of possessing revolver without a permit. They pleaded guilty when arraigned In co0nty court last night, but sentence was suspended so that Arkansas officials could take them away today.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 18-(U. .PO-Lester Brockelhurst, 23, itiner- ant slayer, and his 18-year-old sweetheart, Bernice Felton, left for Little Rock, Ark, in custody early today to face first degree murder charge.
 The girls father, Abraham Felton left with Illinois officials for his home in Rockford, Ill. He told Brockelhurst that he was sorry you're not going to Illinois" He lad been the youti. guardian un- der a parole that reed him from an Illinois reformatory.
 Brockelhurst was disappointed bitterly in the decision .f Governor Herbert H. Lehman to give him to Arkansas authorities instead of tho of Illinois or Texas who also want him for murder. Ee believes he will be executed and wanted to see his mother before lies.
 Governor Lehman ruled that Ar kansas had a stronger case against them than Illinois and Texas, which issued murder warrants only for BrockelhCrst. The youth was said by police to have confessed homi- cideS in each of the three states during q three-n10nth toyride of
