Michigan Troops Called
to Check Strike Riots

= ENERAL MOTORS and city po-
~ lice in Flint, Mich, came into
violent conflict with strikers there
and the sheriff decided he couldn't
handle the situation, so he called on
the governor for troops. The Ma
tional Guard of the state was mo-
bilized and the units already in Flint
moved into the strike zone and
formed a military blockade. They
were ordered to clear the area
around the plants but not to enter
the buildings unless there was re-
newed violence.
This outbreak came while Judge
Paul Gadola was hearing argu-
ments for and against an Injunction
to eject the sit-down strikers from
the Fisher Body plants.
The violence resulted in a new
sit-down strike in a Chevrolet plant
and the announcement by the union
leaders that they would close every
General Motors plant in the country.
Secretary of Labor Perkins and
Gov. Frank Murphy had been I'M
successful in all efforts to bring
C. M. chiefs and John L. Lewis to-
gether for peace conference, be-
cause President Sloan of the corpo-
ration insisted that first the plants
must be evacuated by the strikers.
Miss Perkins thereupon asked con-
gress for legislation empowering
her department to subpoena per-
sons and papers in connection with
strike Investigations.
Forty thousand employees of the
corporation had been called back to
plants in Michigan and Indiana and
put on part time work, and they
and other non-union workers were
assured again by Sloan that their
rights would be protected.
Sloan contends that more than
100000 G. M. employees have ex-
pressed a desire to return to work.
Lewis SCOTS at this claim but will
not countenance the holding of
an election to determine whether his
unions command the majority nee
essary to constitute them the sole
collective bargaining agency. The
federal labor relations board could
order such an election but it has
not interviewed, and probably will
not.

with other nations for peace and

promised Belgium and Holland their

tiers. Of course, old time politicians
always say that a winning horse
can be financed, never loser. John
D. M. Hamilton, the Republican ma
tional chairman, rode losing
horse. He came out of the race
saddled with a gigantic deficit. Def
cts for losing political parties are
not as easily financed as United

and so Mr.. Hamilton is having his
troubles in that direction as well
as finding any enthusiasm among
Republican party workers.
But that does not excuse the Re-

Mr.. Hamilton. After all, it is to be
remembered that approximately
18,OOO,00 voters cast their ballots
for the Republican presidential
