tonight threw hard cash into
his battle against what he
termed "subversive elements

the recent sit-down strike, Douglas
announced creation of a reward
fund" of $1,000. From this fund
he said, $1,000 would be paid to
each person producing evidence
which would convict any individual
injuring plant workers who refused
to go ON strike.
At the same time factory offic-

"Mr. Douglas feels that acts of
violence have come from subver-
sive elements imported here by
Communist agitators capitalizing
upon strike condition
Meanwhile union attorneys were
carrying legal warfare right to the
office door of District Attorney Bu-
ron Fits. There they served him
with copies of demurrers seeking
