ENGLAND, DEFYING SPANISH
REBEL BLOCKADE SENDS BIG
WARSHIP TO BACK UP STAND
Has Orders to Fire" to
Protect Foodstuffs
for Loyalists

LONDON, April l2.-IuPb.-
The cabinet. in a surprise Sunday
session, pave orders TO the battle
ship Hood to fire on Spanish rebel
ships "if necessary" in protecting
British shipping on the high seas.
The Hood. 46,200-ton pride of
Britain's navy, arrived at midnight
off Bilbao on the Spanish Biscay
coast where General Francisco
Frances rebel fleet has stretched
starvation" blockade.
The appearance Of the Hood in
BiScay waters was believed TO
have been ordered to give stern
emphasis to the war-likc British
warning.
There was no indication that
the Hood would be given orders
to smash the Bilbao blockade by
cScOrting four British steamers
now anchored in the French port
of Saint Jean dc LuZ--into Bilbao
to unload their cargoes Of food
stufrs for 100000 starving rcfu-
gees crowded into the bcSleged
city.
Franco has warned that his
ships and planes will lombard and
destroy any ship-SpaniSh or for
cign-that tries to enter Bilbao
with food or "othcr materials of
war"
Cabinet officials said they had
agreed TO persist in the British re-
fuSal to recognize the Spanish reb-
els as belligerent power.
Beyond this announcement they
refused to discuss what orders
might be radioed to the comman-
der of the Hood.
The Daily Telegraph reported
that the cabinet refused to give q
naval escort to the four food
ships, or any other ships travelling
in Spanish territorial waters.
The cabinets decisions on the
delicate situation - one of the
worst that has confronted Britain
in years, from the standpoint of
international righst-were made
cautiously.
1t was learned, however. that
either Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin or Foreign Minister An
thony Eden will make an "impor-
tant announcement" on the whole
question of the rebel blockade in
the house of commons today.
The explanation probably Will
be made in answer to Il question
by Mai. Clement Attlee, Laborite
opposition leader.
A government spokesman, eX-
planning the cabinets secrecy, said
the first official statement on the
situation must be delivered in par
lament and "any other versions
must be regarded as conjectural. -
The legal situation is an intri-
I cate one. Although British policy
is to treat as pirate craft any
vessel hating. Selling or attacking
British ship on the high seas.
it is understood that British naval
vessels have orders not to extend
their protection to British ships
inside Spain's three-mile limit.

destroyed the international union
headquarters ut Pitcher and Trcecc,
Kans., before coming 10 Galcna.
Approximately 300 "blue card

being brought into the area by
persons who have promised to
drive every clio organizer and
member out Of the region.
Firearms had been in open Sight
during u day of riotlng III the
lead and zine area. The rioting
was the climax of growing antag-
oniSm between members OF the
two groups.
Opening of a CIO membership

has caused countless individual
fist fights throughout the towns OF
the region. ClO organizers were
manhandled and beat ut several

made heavy inroadS in the "blue
carders" ranks. Last week the In

they had sufficient membership to
come out into the open.
They advertised an open mass
meeting ut Pichner. Okla, for 2
D. m. Sunday. Organizers diStrib-

followers here and announced the
clio meeting would be broken up.
Four thousand pick handles We're
passed out to the miners and the
big crowd paraded to the park at
which the Go meeting was to be
held.
Along the way, every miner
wearing a Go button was beaten.
Hundreds of curious persons from
the region thronged Picher to
watch the CI0 meeting. The "blue

waited whenever Clio miner bold
enough to wear his card appeared.
A fight ensued. Several groups of

APPLICATION IS
HELD VALID IN
5 TEST CASES
Sweeping Decisions Are
Without Dissent Except.
ing in A. P. Case
NLRB IS SUSTAINED
IN EVERY INSTANCE

WASHINGTON, April IL. CUP
The United States supreme court.
in a series Of vital decisions today
upheld the constitutionality Of the
Wagner labor relations act in IA
sweeping series of opinions which
broadened the interstate COM
merce clause.
The court upheld the law in five
test cases, applying to different
aspects of the act.
It upheld the application Of the
act to the steel industry IN q case
brought against Jones and Laugh
lin Steel company by the national
labor relations board.
This case was considered the
most significant Of those pending
before the supreme court, not
only because Of the MAGNITUDE Of
the industry involved but because
John L. Lewis has focused his
Clio unionization efforts there.
This also upheld the boards
ruling and authority as applied IN
the automobile industry In a case
involving the dispute between the
Fruehauf Trailer company Of De-
troit and the United Automobile
Workers union.
The national labor board had
ordered this company to reinstate
several discharged employees and
cease unfair labor practices.
The board was upheld as 1t APP
piled to the clothing industry in
the case involving Friedman-Hsr-
ry Marks Clothing company,
and the Amalgamated Clothing
workers.
This case was decided on the
authority Of the Jones Laughlin
case, in which its decree had been
handed down earlier in today's
session and which served to re-
verse the ruling Of the second dis
trict court Of appeals which had
ruled that the act did not apply 70
the company, but had upheld it as
it applied to the Washington, Viz
ginia and Maryland Coach COM
pany, operating interstate bus
lines which had challenged the
law in controversy.
The supreme courts action
served to affirm q ruling by the
fourth circuit court Of appeals
that the act applied to the COM
pany and that the national labor
relations board had the authority
to order the reinstatement Of en-
ployes.
There was no dissenting opinion
in this case.
WASHINGTON, April l2. -
(UP).-The United States SUI
preme court in the first of o Sc
ries Of opinions today upheld tho
constitutionality of the Wagner
labor relations board act as appli-
ed to industries clearly within the
constitutional definition Of inter
state commerce.
This ruling was made in up
holding the application Of the act
to the Associated Press.
The first opinion, read by Just
ice Owen J. Roberts left uncer-
tain the courts decision on the
application Of the act to manufac-
turing industries.
This phase Of the question is ex-
pected to be decided in court
tests, involving the Jones and
Laughlin Steel company, Frue-
hauf Trailer company and Fried
man.Harry Marks Clothing con-
pany.
The court split five to four on
the Associated Press case in which
II upheld the national labor rela-
tions boards orders for the rein
