hoped that in their case the mine gtriek call would impede attempts tn resume steel operations. He said 70 mines were affected in all.
 Try to Reopen Mills
 Indications were that the steel companies would make early efforts to reopen closed mills. A conccntra- ton of railroad police at Youngs- town, O., was followed by the swear ing in of so additional city police men. Materials were shipped into some mills, although at Warren, Ohio, strikers frightened thelr block ade of a Republic plant by tearing up part of one railroad siding and dumping carloads of limestone on another. A hearing was scheduled sr county court in Warren today on an application for an injunction to forbid picketing.
 Monroe Is Armed City
 Monroe, Mich., with national guardSmen withdrawn. was a city in arms as it's citizenry awaited the promised return of c. I. O. pickets to the line from which they were driven by tear gas at the Republic subsidiary plant last Thursday. Mayor Daniel A Knaggs said he did not know whether he would permit picketS to enter the city even for peaceful picketing." Strike leaders discounted claims of "back-to-work" organizations, but the spokesman for one such organization in Youngstown said that he expected in few days to ask the lEayor to clear the streets in preparation for mill reopenings, The United Labor Congress in Youngstown dismissed talk of a labor holiday" but deter mined to fight city and county off, cials who, 1t charged, were aiding strike breaking efforts and were to blame for violence. The Canton, O., Federation of Labor voted to call a general strike in the recently-tcrmed Citizens Law and Order League has anything to do with proposed break ing of picket lines at four Republic mills.
 Labor Board Citation
 The National Labor BoaId cita- ton against Inland was based on 8 complaint of the Steel Workers Or ganizing Committe, the C. I. O. agency in the industry, that on June 6. J. H. Walsh, works manager, told representatives of the s. ". o. c. that the company was willing to meet with them but it dId not propose to make a signed contract"
 The union charged that Inland has negotiated in bad faith and did not intend to sign "eve1 though the terms proposed by the $. w. O. c. be acceptable to it."
 That is virtually the stand that has been stated time and again by Republic and Sheet & Tube-that they are agreeable to most of the things the union wants in contract, but that they will not put them in

Round Up of Rioters

hOuuu up LII ftIOtcES
 Anderson, Ind, June 14.-(UP).- Police rounded up the last of the principals in Sundays riot today in an attempt to place blame for the firing of tw oshotgun blasts out of headquarters of the United Automo- bile Workers Union into a group of non-union raiders.
 Seven non-union men and two union workers were arrested, ques- tioned, and released on their own recognizance. Two more non-union men were sought.
 Mayor Harry Baldwin dismissed immediate need for the National Gurad which he had said earlier might be needed to help preserve or- der in this town of 10000 where ill., feeling between union and non- union groups has caused frequent trouble At Indianapolis Gov. M Clifford Townsend announced peace and order must be preserved in h. diana" and ordered an investigation of the latest shooting.
 Nine men, none of them union members, were struck by shotgun pellets during a raid which Police Chief Joseph Carney said was an attempt to frustrate mass-meet- ing appearance by Homer Martin, U. A. w., president. None of them was hurt seriously.

 At the picnic grounds meeting Homer Martin and Van A. Bittner leaders of the c. I. O., asSailed the tactics of steel officials, city officials and some members of the American Legion. Bittner promised cheering crowd estimated at from 5000 to 10000 that pickets would return to the Newton steel plant within two adys" and that there will be no peace in Monroe until the Republic Steel corporation (owner of the planD signs an agreement with or- ganized labor"
 People Will Rise
 Tt is needless to say that If Bitt- ner attempts to adopt the tactics which he has threatened by im- porting the notorious c. I. O squad- ron to creat deplorable conditions through violence that the people of Monroe and surrounding towns will rise as one man to defend their community against armed invaders, " the mayor said.
 Tt is a sight to walk down the streets of Monroe and see its busi- ness and professional men protect ing their streets with rifles and shot, guns to ward off such an invasion as this labor union threatened.
 Martin pointed to the orderliness of the meeting and said the strik- CTS wanted law and order.
 But he demanded that the com- pany plant be "disarmed and its ar- Senal turned over to the govern ment"; that congress investigate Thursdays rioting; that Murphy see that a legislature committee inves- tigate "the whole thing"
 The mass meeting shouted ap- proval of a resolution calling for punishment of city officials because of their attitude toward the strike and demanded that Knaggs be re- moved from office.

Trouble Ahead for Ford

warning factions of the United Auto

fierce dissension in the c. 1. 0. af-
fliate's Milwaukee convention.
Several times only fortunately
timed adjournment saved a day
meeting from breaking up in a riot.
The clashes were between the ''pro-
gressive" faction of the union, head
ed by President Homer Martin, and
the unity" faction, containing most
of the cleft" members, who OPP

end, the Lewis compromise forced
Martin to retain several unity group
officers he had apparently been anx-

were, however, chiefly adherents of
Martin, and it was believed his fac

Of chief importance in the conve n

with the campaign to organize the

Can Maid of Honor
Sing at a Wedding?
Worlds Foremost Authority

. ssssssssss

II EAR Mrs. Post: I have an only
- sister who is to be my maid of
honor. This sister has lovely voice
and | would like very ruch to
have her sing at the wedding if you
think this could be arranged so as
not to interfere with the wedding
procession. Will you tell me how
you think it could best be done?
Answer: 1t would be unusual but
not unheard of should your sister
sing during the pause in the cere-
mony between the betrothal and the
plighting of the troth. In other
words, she could stand at the side
OF the chancel steps and sing while
you and your betrothed walk slowly
up the steps and take your places
in front of the altar. Having fin
ished her song, which of course
must be very short, she then fol-
lows and stands on your left. If
it could be arranged so that she
would be hidden from view, she
could sing while the congregation is
assembling, but it would not do to
have her enter the church and then
go out again to meet you and come
down in the professional.

Japanese Turn Tide

CUCCEEDING in landing thou
- sands of reinforcements from its
transport ships, the japanese ap-
peared ready to turn the tide OF
ground battle in the undeclared war
in China, while their navy threw a
blockade around 800 miles of the
Chinese seacoast from Shanghai
nearly to Canton; in South China.
Only at terrific cost were the re-
Inducements getting ashore. Many
entire landing parties were blown to
bits as they attempted to take shore
positions under blaze of machine
gun fire and in the face of artillery
shells and land mine explosions.
More than a quarter of a million
men were reported engaged in the
fighting along a front stretching
from Shanghai northwestward to
Tientsin, Peiping, Nankow and
Changpei, deep in Chahar province
and north to the Great Wall.
At the northern end of the front
the pro-Japanese Mongol troops of
Prince Teh battled combined Chi
nese regular and communist
armies. japanese reported the cap
ture of Kalgan, capital of Chahar,
shutting off Chinese communication
with Mongolia, while the routed Chi
nese forces broke through the stub
born Chinese defenses at Nankow
pass and penetrated the Great Wall.
They were reported to have sue
ceeed in escaping narrowly a stra-
tegic Chinese maneuver which
would have trapped 10000 Japanese
troops south and west of Peiping.
Chinese positions south of Peiping
were dominated by the we'll
equipped, well-trained, and mech
anized Japanese army, which cap
tured the commanding high land.

Can't Walk Far, but
Wants to Return Calls

n EAR Mrs. Post: l am a stran.
~ ger in this community and in
the short time I've lived here SO
many of the local people have been
te call on me-neighborS, church
women and people who we're told
about me by friends of mine living
elsewhere. All but the neighbOrs
live too far for me to be able to
return these visits. l can not hire a
taxi and the distances are too far
for me to walk as l am not young.
How can show my appreciation in
place of paying visits, and encour-
age their calling again?
Answer: l would invite them to
come in to tea, or perhaps you
might have a regular day at home
and send out cards reading Mon
days or Fridays or whatever day
it is. And then tell them when you
see them that you have to ask peo-
pie to be good enough to go to see
you because you are not able to
walk so far.

Puppe+ King for Ethiopia?

NV HEN MuSSollnl Captured Etiii-
w opia Cor did he?) it was fire.
ouently said that he would never be
able to control it, much less develop
it, for the Ethiopian tribes are wild
and terrible. Apparently he is now
coming to the same conclusion and
is about to turn for help to-of all
people!-the former emperor, Halle
SelaSSie.
It is known that the Italian gov
eminent has made certain overtures
to Great Britain to determine how
she feels about the "Conquering
Lion of Judah" ascending his throne
once more, but strictly as a puppet
for whom II Duce would pull the
strings. Britain is said to be willing
because of the ever-present Italian
threat along her Mediterranean life
line.
France, too, has been approached
on the matter. Frenchmen own the
important railroad from Adds Aba
ba to Djibuti, but one of the prin-
cipal stockholders in the French cor
poration is Halle Selassie, and the
Italians refuse to recognize his hold
ings. It is believed that if the
French agree to the puppet mon
archy the validity of the emperor's
shares will not be questioned. Then
France will be able to buy them.
The fly in the ointment is that
Halle Selassie will have none of this.
He will rest his fate entirely with the
League of Nations, of which Ethiopia
is still a member. Meanwhile the
continual raids by native tribesmen,
still faithful to their emperor, leave
no Italian life safe in the African
country, and are making II Duce's
COLONIZATION" a joke.

Planes Land Without Eyes

A T OAKLAND, CALF, civilian
I \ and army f1iers proved that air
transport planes can now be landed
under conditions which prevent the
pilot from gaining the slightest
glimpse of the ground. Using only
a radio beam for "eyes," pilots
made 100 perfect "blind' landings
at the airport there with a Boeing
247-D plane, of the type now used on
several of the nations commercial
air lines.
The cockpit windows were COW
cred with metal screens to prevent
their sneaking so much as a peek
at the field. Many pilots flew the
ship and, although some of them
had never operated that type of
plane before, not a single landing
was made outside the 300-foot run
way.
So successful were the tests, the
bureau of air commerce, army,
navy and commercial airlines rep
resentatives present agreed that the
system would be adopted for the
country as a whole. The system,
which makes it possible to bring q
ship safely to earth, even through
snow, rain, fog or dust, was called
by authorities the most dramatic
thing of it's kind since the first flight
of the Wright brothers.
