command OF Col. Frank Colladay,
uniformed members of the guard
swiftly gathered in twos and threes,
and at 3 a. m. 400 had collected
to await further orders.
The officials were closeted with
the governor for hours and no
statement was Immediately made.
But apparently the governor was
in touch with the situation.
Claim Gas Attack
At 7:30 p. m. strikers within
the plant elected II plant guards
and locked the doors. Flint police
were called, and strikers claim
two Flint officers broke a window
with an AK and fired tear gas
bombs into the plant.
The 200 strikers inside dragged
fire hoses to the windows and
deluged the two policemen.
Bricks, wooden blocks and
pieces of concrete were hailed
upon the officers by the pickets
and sympathizers and by strikers
within the plant stationed at Sec
ond floor windows.
Gas Bombs Run Out
During the height of the battle,
Flint police called Detroit police
and asked for a supply of tear
gas bombs, but Detroit's supply
was insufficient, and the request
was refused.
When the tear gas failed to re-
strain the horde. the officers used
pistols.
At the height of the fighting,
the battle front extended over q
half mile-from the intersection
of Kearsley Street and Chevrolet
Avenue to Third and Chevrolet.
The sharp crack of pistol fire was
interspersed with the heavier
boom of exploding gas bombs.
Veteran Is FelIed
Lieut.. Herman Critics, who had
been gassed while serving as a
machine gunner during the World
War, was one of the first to fall,
a victim of one of his own gas
bombs.
Virtually every window in the
Fisher plant was broken by flying
missiles, and during the rioting
strikers inside kept the fire hoses
playing on the officers.
Sheriff Wolcott's car was
turned over by sympathizers, its
tires SlaShed and throroIoo,,+ tho
rioting, it remained in that posi-
tion, deputies being unable to
save it.
Injured by PrOjectiles
About 100 gas bombs were used
by Flint police. They were shot
at a range of about 400 feet, and
many of the wounded in Hurley
Hospital were believed struck by
the steel projectiIes discharged
with the bombs.

CHILD LABOR
MEASURES
STUDIED
Necessity Of Federal
Action Debated
By Members

Members of Congress we're
privately debating today Federal
action to stamp out child labor
and to regulate the hours and
wages of labor.
There was increased talk OF
submitting a constitutional
amendment, giving these powers
to Congress, despite President
Roosevelt's suggestion that leg
islative remedies be tried first.
One group of liberals proposed
creation of an amendment bloc
in both House and Senate to
force action.
Sponsors of the amendment
plan we're aware of the difficulties
ahead Of their movement. They
realized an anti-child labor amend
ment was submitted to the States
in June. 1924, and has not yet
been ratified.
Subject Dormant
Indeed, some of the States which
at first ratified it, later revoked
their ratification. The proposed
amendment meanwhile has lain
dormant in many State capitals,
with the President last week
urging governors to speed its rati-
fication.
There was strong support for a
legislative effort to solve the prob
lem. Foes of child labor regarded
the Supreme Courts decision, up
holding the SumnerS-Ashurst anti
prison goods law, as pointing out a
proper method for outlawing child
labor.
This conclusion was disputed by
some of the outstanding constitu-
tional authorities in Congress who
pointed out the Sumners-Ashurst
law prohibited shipment of prison
made goods into any State, where
the sale of such goods was locally
prohibited.
They added that no State now
prohibits the sale of child-made
goods and some merely prohibit
the employment of child labor, so
that a statute prohibiting ship
ment Of child-made goods into a
State, prohibiting their sale, would
be meaningless. -..-
+ Argue Amendment
There was a chance that enact
ment of such a Federal statute
though would be followed by the
States passing new laws, not
merely prohibiting child labor but
outlawing the sale of their prod
ucts where the law was violated.
This would solve the problem, but
it would require universal action
by the very States that until now
have refused to ratify the child
labor amendment.
Advocates Of a constitutional
amendment were sharply divided
over the phraseology of any pro
posed amendment. At least a
hundred different amendments
have been proposed in the last
few years.

France Plans Embargo
On Spain Volunteers

PARIS, Jan. IL G.N.S.)-With
men and arms for leftist Spain
still streaming through France,
the French government today
planned to jam an embargo on
war materials and volunteers
through the chamber of deputies
before the end of the week.
The leftist French government,
however, is unwilling to- make the
ban effective until it is certain
fascist nations will follow suit.
Francois Poncet, French ambas-
sador to Germany, returned from
Berlin today and hastened to the
Quai d'OrSay to confer with Del
bos on latest developments in the
Spanish situation.
While French diplomatic circles
were partially treasured by Adolf
Hitler's promise to Poncet to re-
spect the integrity of Spanish
territory" they were not satisfied
that this means Germany will re-
spect the Spanish non.interven-
tion agreement.
The Washington times., 1937-01-12

hearts of the battlers, among the
spectators on the fringe of the
bloodShed, screamed pleas that the
battle be stopped. Other women
shouted Encouragement.
In military fashion, Victor
Reuther, United Auto Workers or.
ganizer, commanded the ricting
strikers throughout the battle by
addressing them over a loud
speaker system attached to his
truck. He was the most calm per.
son at the scene.
Fight For Your Lives"
Surrounded by a heavy guard
of picketers, he sat beside his
brother, Ray Reuther, and Robert
C. Travis, a U.A.W. organizer, and
advised the strikers:
Don't give ground boys;
fight for your lives.

BERLIN, Jan. IL UN.S0 Adolf
Hitler is willing to halt the outflow
of German men and war materials
to Spain, but he must be guaran-
teed, preferably by Britain that
Reds Of all countries will be pre-
vented, by force, if necessary, from
assisting Madrid directly or in
directly.
That is the state Of mind in
which the Reichs fuehrer today is
framing Germany's answer to the
British note calling for individual
bans on Spanish volunteers by all
countries involved.
Guards Approach
Even though army and navy
leaders told Hitler that the SER
vice divisions had had enough Of
the Spanish adventure, reliable
sources said Hitler is approaching
the Spanish problem guardedly
and, whatever advice his entour-
age gives him, he will not rush
into commitments without iron
clad safeguards.
Britain'S reported suggestion Of
virtuak1and and sea blockade by
the ~ powers of the non-interven-
tion committee is viewed skepti-
cally by the German government.
where Soviet naval participation
in the Mediterranean is "unthink-
able" Italy confirmed the Ger
man attitude in that respect in an
initial exchange of views.
Cool to Navy
Wisdom of trusting patrol OF
part of the Spanish coast to the
French navy is also questioned,
on the ground that the Red in
fluence in the French navy is
sufficiently strong to induce
ships to overlook running of the
blockade by Spanish loyalist ships.
Germany would prefer to en-
trust any naval blockade to British
hands alone, with land frontiers
possibly guarded by an interna-
tional police force similar to that
formerly guarding the frontiers of
the Saar Basin.
Gen. Werner Won Blomberg, de-
tense minister, and Admiral Rich.
ard Raeder, navy chief Of staff,
advised Hitler, it was understood,
that the time was now ripe for an
agreement halting volunteers and
supplies for Spain, provide d
France and the Soviet Union par
ticipate in the ban.
Consistent opponents Of action
which might involve Germany
further in Spain, the army and
navy chiefs argued that the Reich
could now, without losing face"
follow up Hitler's pledge of non
interference in Morocco by dupli-
eating England'S embargo on vol
unteerS.
Hitler today began a series of
independent conferences with his
principal aides, receiving Col. Gen.
Herman Wilhelm Goering, Nazi
second in command, before GoeE

sion disguised as a vacation. Z"
