ing Conditions.

Ten prominent women, including
the wife of one of Secretary Wallace S
advisers, today joined so striking
employees of the National Pants Co.
in picketing the concerns factory at
408 First street southeast
Non-striking workers leaned from
windows of the three story brick
building, munching their sandwich
lunches and watching the fur-coated
members of the washington League
of Women Shoppers. The strikers
were white cutters and colored press
ers, the former women and the latter
men.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler Colman,
daughter of Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana and president of the league, said
before the new pickets appeared that
her organization had decided to join
the line after an investigation of
working conditions in the firms two
washington plants.
Mrs. Colman did not participate in
the picketing, however. The strike was
begun nine days ago by the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of America
to win union recognition and to exert
pressure in behalf of sit-down strikers

'The Scaff0ld for de La Roc0ue. ,
Leftists Demand after Riots

They hurled epithets at the Fascists
and police in a tremendous clamor
as the leader crossed the square.
A sea Of fists were clenched in the
Communist salute and, as Thorez
drove off, the crowd roared the Com
munist anthem, THE Internationale. -
Twenty holes were noticed in the
window Of one empty store facing the
theater. 1t was believed last nights S
first shot was fired from there.
The immediate cause of the rioting
were the walls all over Clichy pIas-
tered with small, yellow handbills pro-
claiming de la ROGUE is coming to
Clichy"
They acted like red capes in bull
ring
The Rightist press charged today
that the Mayor of Clichy-Jean Auf-
fray, who sought refuge in a police
station during the rioting-caused the
bills to be posted. They read, in
smaller type, Counter demonstrated
There were no adherents of Col
Francois de la Rocques Rightist Social
party to be seen. 1t was evident they
were observing the better part of
valor. One of the crowds favorite
slogans was TO the scaffold with
De Ia Rocque!"

PARIS, March l7.-More than a
thousand infuriated Leftists. ready to
demonstrate on the slightest provoca-
ton, milled about today in front of
the Clichy Town Hall, overlooking the
debris-streWn streets of last nights
rioting, where five persons died. Ex-
element was high in the Leftist
stronghold all morning.
Heated arguments flared up among
the onlookers and in most the upshot
was bitter criticism of the police "for
firing on the masses" during last
nights Communist demonstration
against Rightist meeting in the red
suburb
Tension tightened when Maurice
Thorez, Communist party leader
left wrecked butchers shop in the
center of the hostilities and walked
to the Town Hall, where his car was
parked.
ThoreZ and his lieutenants went to
Clichy to survey the damage and in
vestigate the police statement that
the guards had not been ordered to
open fire.
The huge crowd streamed after him,
shouting Long live Thorez!'

DETROIT, March 17.-More than
5000 sit-doWn strikers defled court
injunction against their occupancy of
Chrysler automobile plants today,
while their leaders declined to meet
with committee named by Gov.
Frank Murphy to seek solution of labor
disputes.
Gov. Murphy proposed to the COM
mlttee that special mediation boards
to deal with labor disputes be estab-
lshed in each county or community"
An hour after the deadline set for
the strikers evacuation passed, union
sympathizers estimated to number
10000 surrounded the Chrysler Jetfer-
son avenue plant, blocking traffic for
five blocks. The workers held the
plant despite the injunction which or
dered them to leave by am
Nearly 10000 more surrounded the
Dodge division plant, ordinarily en-
ploying $4,000 workers, while strikers
hung out sign, Give Us Libertu or
Give Us Death"
Homer Martin, United Automobile
Workers president, in declining the
bid, Informed Gov. Murphy that he
believed the committee will not serve
to eradicate the evils of job insecurity
and low wages"
Ihe Governor, still optimistic of set
telement of the Chrysler strike diff
cultles, would not discuss reports that
meeting of Walter P. Chrysler,
chairman of the corporation board.
and John L. Lewis, head of the Com
mlttee for Industrial Organization
supporting the u. A. w. A. strikes,
was regarded as providing the quick
est means of solution.
Lewis -Chrysler Meeting Denied.
A Chrysler spokesman, announcing
corporation attorneys were considering
further steps" in the injunction ac-
ton, denied any meeting between
Lewis and Chrysler had occurred.
The next Chrysler move, under
Michigan law, would be to make a
showing in court that the INDUCTION
had been violated, and to ask for
Wrlts of attachment for arrest of the
strikers. Serving of these would rest
with Sheriff Thomas C. Wilcox.
A union picket line nearly miles
IN length extended entirely around the
Dodge plant. where the crowd chanted,
We want Wilcox" Anticipating a
visit from the sheriff if Writs are
issued for their arrests, the strikers
hung out sign which said: We'll
come sheriff. We are here to stay"
Despite the injunction development.

a member of the cabinet today to have

ment unless enraged French Commu.

not used-said the premier told the
Communist leaders, Maurice Thorez
and Jacques Duclos. that he would quit
unless he was assured of harmony
in the ranks of the Peoples Front
in dealing with the consequences of the
Clichy struggle.
Provisional Agreement.
The Communist leaders, it was un-
derstood, agreed Professionally to waive
their own demands and extend M
Blum freedom in dealing with the
situation
Coincidentally, there were several
brief strikes and talk of a 24-hour
general walkout to protest the action
of police in dealing with the Com
munist demonstrators who last nigh,
besieged a rightist mass meeting in
Clichy, part of the industrial "red
ring around Paris"
Despite the Communists reported
agreement to let M. Blum have free
hand, there was still the question OF
what the comparatively moderate
Radical Socialists, also a powerful
Popular Front bloc, would do. There
still was danger that at least some
of the Radical Socialists. blaming the
Communists for the Clichy trouble
would desert the premiers majority.
Repudiates Communique.
M. Blum himself issued a statement
repudiating communique which was
issued by Thorez and Duclos to de.
scribe their meeting with the premier
The Communist communique said tht
two leaders had insisted that the police
be cleaned out" and that rights
organizations such as the one which
met last night-the French Socia
party--be disbanded.
This action by the premier, il
which he said the Communist com
munique was correct neither ir

cate Socialist Communist discord.

The Stock Market today extended

Building shares again were
among the strongest issues. Closely
following on the wide upturn were
steels. motors, coppers, farm i'm

Trading was strong and active
from the opening gong, and except
for brief spell of profit-taking
late in the second hour, the trend
was persistently higher. Final
prices were around the days best
levels.
U. S. Gypsum was a feature,
adding 5 points to yesterdays
