DETROIT. February 11.-Kelvina-
tor Corp. officials disclosed today that
s8,500,000 worth of collateral paper,
cash and irreplacable documents are
in its main Office building, which is
held by "stay-in" strikers.
The statement was issued in ex-
PLANTATION of the companys petition
for an injunction forbidding the
strikers to occupy the plant, to picket
the factory or interfere in any way
with its operation.
A court order issued by Circuit
Judge Henry G. Nicol yesterday di-
rected the strikers and high officials
of the Mechanics Education Society
Of America, which called the strike
last Tuesday, to show cause why the
injunction should not issue.
The company's statement said that
"the sit-down strikers illegally hold its
Plymouth road plant and Office build
ing containing $8,500,O00 collateral
paper, personal papers and letters Of
executives, company records, casn in
safe, orders and the like"
1t added that the collateral paper
is in steel filing cabinets and is value
less to any one but the company.
Matthew Smith, national executive
secretary of the union, was served
with the court order late yesterday
and gave the sheriff's deputies note
asking the strikers to accept service
peaceably.
The union demands a minimum
wage rate of IS cents an hour for men.

cident has been discussed since at the
hotel with Pinkerton officials brought
here to testify.
Earlier. the committee was told
that General Motors paid the Pinker-
ton National Detective Agency s4l9,-
850 for espionage service between
aJnuary /. 1884, and July 81. 1886.
Taken from invoices rendered by
the agency to the corporation, this
figure still may not be the total pay
ment, it was explained.
A breakdown of the figures showed
that S124,759 was billed to the execu-
tive Office of General Motors, $121 ,490
to Fisher Body and $1l9.545 to
Chevrolet. The remainder was
charged to other subsidiary divisions
of the corporation.
General Motors is the largest in
dustrial client of the agency, it was
testified.
Extent Of Work Shown.
Graphs showing the charges for
individual months disclosed that a
peak was reached in May and June of
1885, a period when labor troubles
were prominent in the automobile
industry, including several local
strikes.
to the stand after the General Motors
invoices had been introduced and ex-
planned by Chief Investigator Robert
P. Wohlforth.
Those summoned were Robert A.
Pinkerton, president: Asher Rossetter,
vice president and general manager;
Ralph Dudley, vice president; W. H.
Shoemack, Detroit superintendent, and
Edward S. Clark, Cleveland superin-
tendent.
Questioning the witnesses first about
operations in Fisher Body plants, the
committee was told that radical ac-
tivities" had been probed as long ago
as 1929, but general operations dated
from 1888. Such operations have taken
place in more than a dozen Fisher
Body plants, being continuous in most
Of them until January 81 of this year.
when General Motors discontinued
Pinkerton services.
Other services to Fisher dated long
before 1929, 1t was said later.
The general service to F. her was
requested by Harry G. Burk, pe-sonr l
director for Fisher, it was testified.
Similar service has been given
Chevrolet for many years, it was said,
with such operations finally being CO.
ordinated through Alfred Marshall,
chief personnel officer for General
Motors, in October, 1885.
Dudley testified that he approached
Marshall In the Fall OF 1885 to pro-
pose this GENERALIZATION Of espionage
service by the agency to the corpora
ton.

the Supreme Court has held to be be-
yond the power of Congress.
But" interjected Justice Suther-
land. what is the primary effect Of
strike in a steel mill? Is it not to
curtail production?"
After Reed had agreed curtailment
Of production is at least one Of the
primary results, the justice continued:
First, then. strike curtails pro-
duction. which in turn affects COM
merce? The effect on commerce is
secondary, is it not?"
Reed said he regarded the effect on
commerce as instantaneous" with the
curtailment Of production.
Past High Court Decisions.
The Supreme Court in past de-
cisions has held repeatedly that Con-
gres does not have the power to con-
troll and regulate conditions having an
indirect effect on commerce.
The decision in the case OF the
Jones & Laughlin Corp. third largest
steel mill in the country. probably
will be the most important in the five
suits attacking the law that are now
before the court. II has been pointed
out that if the Wagner act cannot
extend TO the large industries. such as
the steel mills. it can have but little
effect throughout the country.
j. Warren Madden. chairman of the
Labor Board, told the court the corpo-
ration carries on many operations out
side Pennsylvania, where its principal
plants are located
There are coal mines outside the
State" he said. There are iron mines
in Michigan and Minnesota There is
a constant flow c. materials into the
plant and products out of it."
But the men involved il. this case
were not engaged in transportation.
were they?" Justice Sutherland inter-
rupted to ask.
NO" Madden replied. "but they
were engaged in business in which
there was constant flow of of the
products of the ..lill"
Reed pointed out that Congress
could have dealt with the situation
in two ways-after strike had arisen
or before it was called. The legis-
lators, he said, took the preventive
course
At one point, Justice McReynoldS
questioned Reed about the effect of
the Labor Boards order in the case,
and was told that it was to restore
the employees allegedly dismissed for
union activity to their original posi-.
tions.
Restored at WILL" Chief Justice
Hughes interjected. They could be
dismissed the next day. couldn't
they?"
Reed replied in the affirmative and
then added:
There is no doubt about the right
of Congress to protect commerce from
strikes called with intent to obstruct
its flow. The Government also has
the right to enact preventive legisla-
ton to remove the causes of such
strikes before they are called, or be-
fore the intent to obstruct commerce
arises.
The court also heard arguments
yesterday attacking and defending the
labor act IN the case of the Washing
ton, Virginia g. Maryland Coach Co.
The Labor Board held 20 employees,
members of the Amalgamated Associ-
alton of Street. Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees, had been dis
charged for union activity. The com.
pany denied this.

~ counselor from the Netherlands.
returned to his home in Rotterdam
last Summer for the first time in
many, many years-and took with
him his bride. the former Leslie Cam

Mr.. Molecamp, after long associa-

tered the language so completely and
had lost the fine touch of his own
native tongue that the Holland Dutch
mistook him for an American.
When Mr. Molecamp, hailing dray

the big, happy-go-lucky drayman
laughed and espor 1 good Eng

Now it happened that Mrs. Mole

So. in Washington, she became
known as a Holland Dutch woman.

MISS PERKINS PLEASED.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Perkins said early today,
after learning of the agreement to
settle the General Motors strike:
1T is very gratifying to know that
an adjustment has been reached in
the automobile dispute. 1t has been
obvious from the outset that once the
parties concerned could sit down to-
gether and discuss their differences
that the path could be cleared for
fair and honorable agreement.
Gov. Murphy is to be congratulated
for his wise. fair, impartial, patient
and untiring efforts in handling a
most difficult situation. and the rep
resentatives Of General Motors and
the United Automobile Workers in
the conferences are to be praised for
their give-and-take spirit and for
their sober sense of fairness and re-
sponsibility to those they represented
and to the general public.
THE Department of Labor CO.
operated with Gov. Murphy in efforts
to get the disputants together to re-
sumo the negotiations, which he orig
inally arranged for January 16, so
that they could work out their problem
in a mutually satisfactory manner
anr in the public interest through the
cooperation of the leaders of wage
earners and management. They have
now done So
Lesson for Country.
Meanwhile, Edward F. McGrady.
Assistant Secretary of Labor, said the
country should learn lesson from the
Pacific Coast maritime and General
Motors strikes and develop an effective
method for settling such disputes.
Asked for comment on the General
Motors settlement, McGrady dictated
the following statement to reporters:
Everybody rejoices that the auto
mobile strike is over.
If we have learned our lesson out
of recent labor disturbances. it is
that we have not yet developed an
effective method for settling such
controversies.
"The recent maritime strike de-
veloped over differences between the
workers and the shipowners. Before
they could settle there was loss OF
s700, 900 900.
In the auto strike before the work.
ers and management could compose
their differences it cost them approxi-
mately $4,000, 900 a day for AZ days.
This can be avoided in the future
II industry, labor and the Government
will apply themselves to more civi-
lized method of settling their differ
ences.
when a serious dispute arises. and
industry and labor sit around the
conference table, there should be three
extra chairs where reason, intelligence
and common sense will be seated.
THE whole Nation owes a debt OF
gratitude to Gov. Frank Murphy, who
has devoted his entire time to the
point of complete exhaustion to find
ing solution.
That he has been eminently sue
cessfuI is a source Of much gratifica-
ton and he has added one more to .
long list Of good public deeds"
