been killed and injured by Nip
ponese bombs. These reports were
not Immediately confirmed.
At Tsingtao huge fires blazed
and constant blasts shook the en-
tire city, a laundering testimony
of Chinese determination that the
japanese will find the northern
port nothing but a shell when
they enter it. With a Japanese
column believed only so miles from
the city, its fall was regarded as
imminent.
Under the direction Of Chinese
officials, defending troops were
blowing up everything which
might prove of strategic, military
or commercial value to the ad.
vancing Nipponese forces. The
city was completely cut off as
every means Of communication
was destroyed.

100000. This was in addition to
$1O0.000,000 worth Of Japanese
mills destroyed several days ago

Labor Relations Board
Hits Renington-Rand

p EMINGTON RAND, INC, large
N manufacturer of Office equip

labor relations board of violating
the Wagner-Connery act and of US
ing ruthless" methods in trying to
break the strike Of 5000 workers
in six of its plants. The corporation
was ordered to cease alleged inter-
ference with union activities of its
employees; to bargain collectively
with majority Of its workers; to
reinstate strikers without discrimi-
nation and to withdraw support of
so-called company unions" in its
Ilion, N. Y, and Middleton, Conn,
plants.
The labor board declared the cor
poration exhibited a callous, i'm
perturbable disregard of the rights
of its employees that is medieval in
its assumption of power over the
lives Of men and shocking in its
concept of the status of the modern
industrial worker"

Court Orders Strikers
Out of Chrvsler Plants

IRCUIT JUDGE ALLEN CAMP
~ BELL of Detroit granted an in
junction restraining sit-down strik-
ers from continuing to occupy the
nine plants Of the Chrysler corpora
tion in that city. He declared the
strikers were in unlawful possession
of the plants and gave them two
days to get out. The Chrysler COM
pany has refused to recognize the
United Automobile Workers as the
sole bargaining agency for its en-
ployees, who number $1,000. En-
forcement of the law was thus again
put squarely up to Gov. Frank Muir
ply, and both sides i the contro-
versy, as well as citizens generally,
waited with intense interest for him
to decide his course.
Governor Murphy, returning hur-
riedly from Florida, was taking
steps that he hoped would put an
end to the epidemic of strikes in
the states major industries. He
arranged a series Of conferences
with law enforcement officers, and

president of the Detroit board of

General Motors and the United
Automobile Workers of America
reached an agreement for the set
tlement of all their disputes. 1t
covers wages, working conditions,
