"sit down" strike still in prog
ress at Cadillac.
FLINT. Mich, Jan. 13 Q.N.S0.
While infantry, artillery and
cavalry troops of the Michigan
National Guard marched into this
city to prevent new riots at strike
torn auto plants, Governor Frank
Murphy of Michigan, close frieno
Of President Roosevelt, today
called for a conference of Gen.
eral Motors officials and United
Automobile Workers union leaders
for tomorrow, IN an attempt to
end the labor war
The Governor also ordered city
officials not to attempt to serve
1900 John Doe" warrants
against General Motors strikers
at present.
The warrants were obtains by
Prosecutor Joseph R. JoSephs,
after the pitched battle between
strikers at Fisher Body plant No.
2 of General Motors and COM
pany guards and police.
Fourteen strikers were shot in
the riot, 10 policemen hurt and
scores beaten and slugged. Ten of
the strikers hurt later were placed
under arrest. -Four wounded men
and two officers are still in the
hospital.
After the riot, State Police Com
missioner oscar Olanoer reported
the situation out of control Of
local authorities and Governor
Murphy called out the troops,
making it clear the guardSmen
would not take sides but that they
would maintain order and peace.
Meantime, Sit-down strikers re-
tanned possession Of the Fisher
Body plant No. 2 and had barri-
caded Chevrolet Avenue with mo-
tor cars. Governor Murphy said
General Motors had promised not
to shut off heat or stop delivery
of food.
The warrants charged kidnap-
ing of 18 Fisher Factory guards,
malicious destruction of property
and felonious assault. The kid
naping charges, Josephs said, were
based on the allegation that the
guards were held captive during
Mondays riot.
Jail Heavily Guarded
Twenty-Five deputy sheriffS,
armed with shotguns, revolverS
and tear gas, were on guard duty
at the county Jail to forestall any
possible attempt to free the 10
strikers taken prisoners after their
release from Hurley Hospital.
Doors of the jail were heavily
barred and powerful flood lights
were kept trained on streets sur
rounding the jail throughout the
night.
Sheriff Thomas Wolcott also
ordered all hardware merchants
here to remove guns and ammuni-
ton from their shelves and halt
sales. County, City and National
Guard arms supplies were heavily
guarded, Sheriff Wolcott saying
he feared a possible raid on the
jail to free the strikers.

Range Municipalities
Join to Oppose State
Tax Diuersion Scheme
Proposed Legislative Bill
To Divert Thousands
in Ore Taxes.
MASS MEETINGS HELD
Bill Would Reduce School
Tax Revenues by 500
Say Range Heads.

The hardest blow ever aimed at the
mining communities Of northern Min
neSota was shot across when the senate
bill was introduced last week to divert
ad Valorem taxes into the Golfers Of the
state TO be parceled out to school dis
tricts on a basis Of S35 per capita; to
communities at the rate Of $50 per
capita and TO towns and townships on
q basis Of $500 per section
The authors Of the bill are Senators
Oscar SwenSon OF st. Peter; Ancher
Nelson Of Hutchinson and w. L. Dietz
of Montgomery. While the three sena-
tors provide in their bill to reallocate
revenue back TO the range communities
it is estimated that about So 100000 will
be diverted from the range towns to the
state treasury.
Indignation meetings were held at
Eveleth, Saturday afternoon, attended
by representatives of all the range
municipalities and at Hibbing, Satur-
day evening.
Aldermen John N. Maxi, Arthur
Nyman, John Mattila. Mayor PeShel,
Assessor Popoyich and Chief of Police
Nankervis attended the meetings.
AT each Of these resolutions were
adopted branding the move as vicious
and detrimental to the welfare Of the
entire state and especially detrimental
TO the range communities. It was also
decided at these meetings TO send dele
cations to St. Paul where they appeared
Monday before the tax committee at a
public hearing in the senate chamber.
Led by Judges Martin Hughes of Hib-
bing and Mark Nolan Of Gilbert the
bill was branded as the most drastic
legislation ever attempted by any body
OF men elected by the people to do their
business for them TO the best of their
ability
Speaking against the passage of the
measure before the committee were
Judges Hughes and Nolan who led the
attack: j. P. Vaughn, superintendent of
schools at Chisholm; Joseph Henley of
Keewatin; Wayne Kakela, assistant Sec
retary Of the Duluth Chamber of Com
nlerce; Thomas Naylor, county attorney
Of St. Louis county; Nathan Harris,
utilities engineer of Minneapolis; Sena-
tor Patrick Farnand, formerly of Hib-
bing: E. P. Wheelecor, former mayor of
Chisholm, and Senator o. K. Dahle Of
Duluth
Judge Hughes, in his usual calm and
Straightforward manner, told the COM
mittee that the bill is vicious and
unfair procedure" He contended that
the schools Of the ranges face paralysis
if the bill is passed. He stated the state
receives generous share of iron ore
revenue through trust funds for schools,
which he claimed ultimately would total
500 100000 with all the schools of the
state benefitirg.
He said the school costs on the
neutrality-suspicious., salaries, fuel.
