tons, Is Admitted
LEWIS ONCE SAID SIT
DOWN RED WEAPON

WASHINGTON, Mar. IS (UP)
The government Is powerless to
act against sit-down strikes which
are "manifestly unlawful" Ma
jority Leader Joe T. Robinson, D.,
Ark, said last night after angry
senate debate over the spreading
use of labor's newest economic
weapon brought demands for a
congressional inquiry and warn
ings that 1t would lead to "dic-
tatorship."
Robinson's views were embraced
in q short. written statement in
which he said that It was Exceed
ingly difficult" for the government
to intervene in labor disputes un-
til the U. s. supreme court rules
on the validity Of the Wagner
Connery Labor Relations Act. Ar
guments on the constitutionality
Of the law were completed four
weeks ago.
In condemning sit-down strikes
as "manifestly unlawful" Robin.
son said:
"What congress or other federal
authority can do about the matter
at this juncture does not appear.
Compulsory arbitration does not
commend itself. Mediation and
Cancellation and the promotion of
collective bargaining as contem-
plated BY the Labor Relations
Act, if the same shall be sus-
tanned, undoubtedly are helpful
factors. Until the supreme court
has passed upon the validity of
the statute referred to 1t is ex-
ceedinglv difficult to make ad-
vancement."
Robinson's remarks came 48
hours after Harper Sibley, head
of the Chamber Of Commerce Of
the United States, disclosed in
speechi here that in q recent White
House conference the president
had commented on the govern
ment's inability to act to preserve
industrial peace due to lack Of
power. Sibley said his efforts to
obtain Mr.. Roosevelt's views on
the sit-down proved futile.
Debate on the sit-down strike
was touched off yesterday by Sen.
Hiram Johnson, R., Calf, one Of
the chambers ablest statesmen
and q member Of the little band
of senate "irreconciliables" which
kept this country out of the
League of Nations. He said he
was giving gentle warning" that
the sit-down strike Is the most
ominous thing in our national life
today"
1T is bad for the government,
and, in the long run, it Is worse
for labor" Johnson said. "If the

EEE DICTATORSHIP I'M S[T-D0WN STRIKES
MENUS. Apologize GERMANY
IS CONSTRUED AS REBUKE TO
LA GUARDIA AND NAH PRESS
Secretary Hull Has Second
Visit From Envoy; His
Stand Reiterated

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10 (UP)
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
yesterday made a second apology
to Germany for the caustic at
tacks by New York's fiery mayor,
Fiorello II. La Guardia on Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler.
simultaneously Hull indirectly
rebuked La Guardia by calling
upon all who are participating in
the present controversy ito find
other subjects, which can be dis
cussed more temporarily"
On March 5. Hull make an
apology to Germany after Nazi
officials had protested against
LaGuardia's statement before the
Jewish women's congress that a
statue of Hitler should be erect
ed in a chamber of horrors at
the forthcoming New York
worlds fair. Hull said he deeply
regretted" any utte rance by
American citizens which offended
foreign governments.
He repeated this "regrct" yes
terday after Dr.. Hans Luther,
German ambassador, had lodged q
second protest, this time against
LaGuardia's statement to a mass
meeting in New York on Monday
night that Hitler was not "satis.
faktionsfaehig," which, translated
literally, means that the chancel-
lor is an unworthy foe. Hull add
ed that in view Of this govern
ment's limitation with respect to
freedom Of speech nothing can
be profitably added to what al
ready has been said"
Then, the secretary said:
~. IL ara personally hopeful that
all who are participating in the
present controversy, which is
marked by bitter and vituperative
utterances in this country and in
Germany may soon reach the con-
clusion that it would be the best
interests of both countries for
them to find other subjects which
can be discussed more temperate
ly." :,
uull's remark was regarded
mere as containing a rebuke not
only to LaGuardia and other
prominent citizens who have kept
alive the word-across-the-sea i'm
broglio but to the German press
whose retaliatory attacks on the
New York mayor and on Jewish
women brought an emphatic pro-
test from this country and assur-
ance from the Nazi government
that no insult was intended.
The latest development in the
international quarrel came after
Luther, usually smiling and genial
but yesterday grim and calm,
strobe into Hull's office accom-
panied by DR.. Hans Thomson,
counsellor of the embassy. They
remained with the secretary for
more than an hour and departed
without comment.
1t was reported, but not con-
firmed, that the embassy had not
acted until instructions had been
received direct from the Nazi for
eign office.

The violence spread quickly to
half a dozen points in the Loop.
Strikers concentrated in front OF
the larger hotels, halted cabs and
beat the drivers as hundreds OF
pedestrians looked on.
Twenty-Five strikers were ar
rested.
Non-strikers abandoned q score
of cabs as the fighting started.
The strikers smashed the windowa
and hoods on the machines. An
oil and gasoline mixture was
poured on one overturned Yellow
cab and the machine fired. Fire
men aided the police in quelling
the fighting.
One pedestrian, DR.. William X.
Fishers, was struck on the head
by a brick, police said.
Intermittent reports of intimi-
dation of non-strikers were re.
ceived from outlying sections OF
the city as the situation in the

Anderson Davidson, jr., colored,
of Forest Glen, Md, the first vic.

George B. Merrick for violation
of the statute which permits only

police cars to operate with red

A number Of machines in the
county, according to police, are so
equipped that when the driver de-
fleets his headlights the right

contended that this device con-
fuses other motorists and renders
less effective the red signal lights

He denounced the independent
steel companies as constituting an
"unholy alliance to break every

warfare would spread to other in
dustries.
Blamed For 'DOzen Wars"
Murray blamed the spreading
strike on refusal Of officials Of the
Republic, Youngstown Sheet and
Tube, and the Inland Steel Com
pany to sign collective bargaining
agreements. He said:
"Since the calling Of the
strike, q handful Of reactiOnary
steel barOI1s, backed by company
armies and local police, are pre-
cipitating q dozen local civil
wars in their fight against union
ism. ... y

"Never In the history Of this
country has there been such q
wholesale and fragrant violation
Of all State and national laws,
violation Of civil liberties, denial
Of the right to picket, impOrta-
ton Of strikebreakers and use Of
force by company guards to de-
strOy the rights Of employees to
organize and strike as Is now
being conducted by these reac-
tiOnary steel corporations"
DEMANDS DISARMING
Murray said he deemed 1t lab
solutely essential and necessary
for the protection Of the Almeri-
can citizens who are participating
in the present steel strike, that
the steel corporations, as well as
any other industrial outfit, be i'm.
mediately disarmed." He added:
"There is absolutely no justi-
ficatiOn whatsoever for private
armies being cOuntenanced in
this country. Such private
armies are merely the first step
for the Fascist army which may
be desired by some Of the indus
trialistS in this country.
There must be some public
