OSHAWh, Ontario, April 12.-Four-
score Office workers and parts depart
ment employees went to work in the
strike closed General Motors of Canada
plant here today amid boos and jeers
from picket lines.
The production division, employing
about 3,700, remained closed, how
ever, by the strike for an agreement
between General Motors and the
United Automobile Workers of
America.
In nearby Toronto the Globe and

professional American agitators out
of Ontario"
Hepburn, like General Motors, has
refused to deal with strikers COM
mittee as long as it included Hugh
Thompson, United Automobile Work
ers' organizer from Detroit.
Hepburn characterized Thompson
and Homer Martin, president of the

night, as slick fellows who operate
from outside Ontario and make a fat

working class"

I'VE can settle our own problems in
this province without having the
hirelingS of John L. Lewis, the master
mind behind all the unrest and dis
turbance in the United States, come
in here and tell us what to do" he
added
Reopening of the parts plant this
morning was contrary to Thompsons
prediction yesterday. Since this divi-
sion operated Saturday, Thompson
said, a majority of its employees had
joined the union and would refuse to
work today.
The union, however, made no phys
tcal attempt to bar the parts plant
employees from going into the plant
this morning. City police gave the
number of those who entered as 80

Repeated statements by Thompson
and Martin that a new General
Motors strike might be called in the
United States led strikers to believe
the next step would come from

organized for their own protection.
He said his organization plans are
indefinite pending "a survey of the
district"
This is his third trip here in recent
weeks.
Robinson said large crowds of men
had surrounded his fort" during the
night. Cigarette butts were several
inches deep outside. Dirty dishes from
which Robinson had eaten last night
and this morning indicated he had not
left his room for hours.
But the hotel was deserted today.
Robinson left for Joplin. where several
larger mines have headquarters.
Il regret tremendously that any
one was hurt" he said of the shoot

until they were forced to protect their
lives and property at Galena."
He said about 100" international

All roads into Picher were virtual
one-way thoroughfares this morning
as miners from throughout the tri-
State district came here for work on
the day shift, relieving several hun
dred who had toiled on the midnight
to am trick.
Almost all mines now in operation
are within few miles of Picher, but
workers live in numerous towns IN
the corners Of Oklahoma, Kansas and
Missouri.
The weekend toll included the
1ogging of Constable Ray Keller at
Hockerville, Okla, in addition to the
Galena shooting and the beating of
a number of men here.
Announced intention of the c. I. O.,
through its affiliate, the International
Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers, to attempt organization in
this newly prosperous district provided
the background for the outbreak.
The c. l. O., through Robinson,
called a meeting here yesterday after
noon.
President Evans of the Tri-State
(blue card) Union called one for noon
"as a show of strength" Reporters
estimated 5000 blue card men massed
here.
Evans explained the blue card union
opposition to the c. I. o.
Two years ago the international
called strike which lasted seven
weeks. We organized the Tri-State
and broke the strike We don't want
any more strikes or any one con-
nected with the International taking

AS miners swarmed here from all
over the District yesterday, Glenn
secretary of the Picher
Union, handed them pick handles
from tri-State headquarters.
About noon, 80 men carrying blue
cards raided the unoccupied interna-
tional headquarters here.
Sporadic street fights followed.
More than dozen men were treated
for minor injuries. There was no
c. I. o. meeting.
From tri-State headquarters word
spread that the C. I. o. would meet
at nearby Treece, Kans. Three truck
loads of pick -handle-armed men went
to Treece and splintered furniture in
lnterna anal headquarters.
The trek to Galena started.
Outwardly Galena was enjoying a
calm Sunday as the Picher delega-
ton, estimated at 500 to 900, arrived
at blue card headquarters.
They asked me if they could pa
rade," said Hickman. Il told them
be peaceful"
At a signal, the blue card men
started boisterous, laughing, pick

Hours after the shooting, Evans
said in a statement that his union
will use every legal means possible"
to help Kansas authorities get the
names of men who fired at the blue

He said he had four names he would
give officers. His men art forbidden

FASHIONS, USCOES
 CLASH TOMORROW
Naugatuck Rubbermen In- wade Torrington for
 Hoop Contest

Naugatuck, Dec. 1.-The two in- jured regulars, Peanuts" Karowot- ny who suffered a bruised foot and Cliff Swirski who received cut eye in the hard-fought Foster Machine Company game last Wednesday, will be in shape for the game tomorrow afternoon at the Torrington Armory against the Full Fashions of that city.
 The Uscoes are anxious to win this game and avenge one-point defeat hung on them last year in the semi-finals of the Amateur Tournament at the Central Y in Waterbury.
 A long practice session was held this afternoon. Tommy Edmonds, the spark-plug of the Y leaders team, looked promising in his first appearance with the giant Usco squad and may see service at Tor rington, teaming up with the speedy Babe Sweeney. The large Armory court is adapted to the type of ball these boys play and they should give the crowd an eyeful of speed to match Torrington's Herdy Rich ards.
 The Usco squad will leave the Ma pie street tower at 100 p. m. Sum- day afternoon and will include Bob Gair, Johnny Greb, Joe Yanchulis, Cliff Swerski, Peanuts Karowotny, Butch Sterniak, Hennie Loman, Babe Sweeney, Tommy Edmunds and Ken Kennedy.

SPRINGFIELD INDIANS
 AT ARENA SUNDAY

New Haven, Dec. Billy Coutu is leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to give Connecticut fans Q winner. He covered the Arena ice with tail-feathers this week as he shook up his Eagles in an effort to make them produce goals instead of goose-eggs over the weekend.
 Captain Obs Heximer was cut loose in a deal with Springfield which brings young Bob McCully to New Haven and adds more fat to the burning Eagle-Indian feud.
 McCully is a topnotch hockey player, boasts the hardest shot in the league and can play as well at wing as at defense. He broke into professional hockey under Coutu at Providence and Billy knows what the youngster can do If he is played right.
 The first line will remain intact but the shake-up brought change in the second forward wall which should produce plenty of goals. Speedy Mike Miller has been moved up from the third line to fill the left wing post vacated by Heximer. He will work with Max Kaminsky and Dig Desilets. This combination is young, fast and every member possesses a deadly shot.
 Coutu came out on top in his deal with Springfield and, as the Indians play at the Arena Sunday night, there should be plenty of fireworks when Heximer and McCully mix with their old mates.

SEVERAL GRID MENTORS UNDER FIRE OF ALUMNI.
Mehre Has Quit Georgia; DObie and McLaughry
 in Hot Water

New York, Dec. 4-(UP)-The football campaign still has a little way to go but howls for coaches scalps already are being heard from the wolves of the gridiron.
 The dissatisfied alumni and stu- dents have forced one coach to re- sign-Harry Mehre of Georgia - and threaten to cause others to quit before spring.
 At least II coaches are under fire, some seriously, others mildly. The most heat has been turned on Gary (Prince) Callison of Oregon. Others who have felt the blasts are Howard Jones, Southern California; Bill Spaulding, U. c. L. A. and March mont Schwartz, Creighton.
 Tom Yieb of Loyola of Los An geles also is having trouble. He wor only three games. Loyola plays Gonzaga tomorrow and a victory might take some of the pressure off Lieb.
 Jimmy Phelan of Washington coast champions last year, was un- der fire in mid-season but the heat slackened when the huskieS held mighty California to a scoreless tie Nevertheless, 8 report from Helena, Mont, said that Doug Fessenden, coach of Montana's undefeated and united team, had received "feeler' from Washington.
 Two southeastern coaches also are under fire-Chet Wynne of Ken- lucky and Ed Walker, Mississippi.
 Other coaches ill trouble are Gil Dobie, Boston College and Fuss Mo- Laughry, Brown.
 Boston Alumni have howled at Dobie ever since it lost to Detroit and the squawks became louder as three more defeats followed. Bos- on had been touted as one of the pest teams in the east when the sea- son started. The alumni claim De- bie's system is antiquated. His con- tract has another year to run.
 The squawks against McLaughry have been muffled but there is a dissatisfied element at Brown. The student paper said the other day that "the coaching question is one which must be settled and no mat ter which way the final decision goes there will be a dissatisfied ele- ment at Brown. The student paper said the other day that "the coach- ing question is one which must be settled and no matter which way the final decision goes there will be a dissatisfied clement" Significantly the president of the university, Henry M. Wriston, said that Browns prestige is not based on football. A committee from the athletic council is expected to meet shortly and make recommendations.

 TOCOachCadetS

West Point, N. r., Dec. 4. IUP)- Captain William H. Wood, a star cadet fullback almost ten years ago, will Coach Army's football team for the next few years.
 Wood was appoipnted head coach yesterday, succeeding Lieut.. Gar Davidson who returns to active serv- ice after leading the soldiers since 1883. His appointment was an- nounced by Major General William D. Connor, superintendent of the academy.
 It was a routine change. David son had the job five years, one more than has been the custom.
 Wood, who has been attached to the command and general staff school at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, will assume the coaching post next summer. No announcement was made regarding Lieut. Davidsons new assignment.
 Wood was varsity backfield coach ct West Point from 1926 through 1936. He entered West Point in 1921 after attending Johns Hopkins uni- versity for two years. He was standout plunging and defensive back as well as 8 great kicker.

|BIG LEAGUERS IN
 THREE CORNERED DEAL FOR MUNGO
Giants May Give Schu- rlacher for Brooklyn
 Pitcher
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

Limited Press Staff COrrespondentl
 Chicago, Dec. 4.-(UP).-The polk CT game Bill Terry. Charlie Grimm and Burleigh Grimes are playing with Van Mungo, Brooklyn's star pitcher, was resumed on a new bat tlefront today as the major leaguers shifted here from the minor league convention at Milwaukee.
 Grimes, the stubble- bearded Miss ouri farmer in the sombre black hat and pipe, has Mungo as one of his chattels, but big Van is a tenn peramental and has openly declared he'll never toss another baseball for the Dodgers as long as Burleigh manages the club.
 That makes 1t imperative for Grimes to trade Mungo, and Terry, y-blooded pilot of the Giants, and Charlie Grimm, clowning boss of the Cubs, are the two fellows who want him most. The Pirates, with Pie Traynor playing their hand, and the Cards, with Branch Hickey handling their chips, also are in on the Mum go deal, but thus far haven't met the high bids of the Cubs and Giants.
 While waiting for the next move, Terry last night sold Pitcher Al Smith, southpaw who was bothered by a sore arm on and of all last season, to the St. Louis Cardinals for an undisclosed sum.
 In separate deal the Giants bought Catcher Tom Padden from the Cardinals for their Jersey City International League farm club. Padden has never played with St. Louis, having gone to the Cards re- gently in the deal which sent Out fielder John Rizzo 10 Columbus to the Pirates.
 Terry continues to pooh-pooh the idea that he is desperately bidding for Mungo. He Is very secretive about his negotiations but 1t is be- lieved Pitcher Hal Schumacher is definitely one of the men he has offered along with other players and cash. Grimes has hinted that he'll accept no offer for Mungo from the, Giants unless 1t includes Mel Ott. If that's true 1t seems hardly likely that Munge will go to New York because Ott definitely stays at the Polo grounds.
 In view of the Cubs nose dive in the stretch the past two years 1t seems highly probable that they will go high for Mungo, barring pos- sibly only Frank Demaree, Billy Herman, Stanley Hack, Gabby Hart nett and Bill Lee as trading stock.
 Another deal >on the fire is be- tween the White Sox and Washing ton. Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox has offered First Baseman Zekc Bonura and Infielder Boze Berger to the Senators for First Baseman Joe Kuhel and Second Baseman Eddy Meyer. Thus far the Senators have baked at the Sox's offer.
 The aftermath of the White Sox's six player deal with the Tigers has placed Mickey Cochrane in a bad light in Detroit, where the fans are said to be circulating petitions urging that Gerald Walker. favorite with the fans there, be brought back.
 Dykes, glowing over his brilliant stroke in landing Walker, says Cochrane can have Walker back, providing he gets Catcher Rudy York in return. Dykes suggestion only makes Cochrane madder.

Hollywood, Dec. +(UP)-John Montague can't remember ever hav- ing been beaten at golf by Babe Ruth, or of ever having lost a bet to Babe Ruth, but is perfectly will- ing to have Babe Ruth go about New York saying he beat John Montague three times out of four, and took his money.
 That's what John Montague told me today over wheat cakes and lit tie pig SauSages at the Brown Derby when l told him of the interviews that the one-time king of swat had been granting in New York.
 But before he told me this he expressed surprise that Ruth had given out such information. wouldn't believe me, in fact, until I showed him newspaper clippings. He read them carefully, took a full brassie swing at @ wheat cake, and said:
 "So, that's what he says, huh? We'll, it's all right by me if he tells everybody he gave me a stroke Q hole and still won by 6 and 5. May be the answer is that Babe got mixed up in the score. played him four times as I remember-al- ways in foursome-and I don't re- member him beating me. In fact, the onl ytime I actually kept score was on the practice round of nine holes we played at Fresh Meadow the day before we had that charity match, and as I recall the score that day had 35 and he had a 37."
 "So he said didn't welsh on any bets, eh? That's nice of the Babe. very nice. As a matter of fact, I never had Q bet with him of any kind. Not 8 dime. Several of the fellows who followed us had some money up, but there never was a mention of 8 bet between the Babe and myself. You know, every time anyone mentions my golf game they mention bets. wish that didn't happen, because you know I play 50 rounds without bet of any sort, to one round where I have little wager on what happens"
 Montague reviewed the times he had played Babe Ruth. He recalled them all save the charity match as friendly, pickup games, with the players out for the fun and ex- ercise-and nothing else.
 Montague did point out, under my questioning, that it was amaz- ing that anyone could expect him to show his real game without any preparation. He said he hadn't played IS rounds of golf in the last year. and that 1t was impossible for any player to stay on top of his game with so little play.
 But don't get me wrong. I'm not sore at the Babe. Maybe he thinks he beat me. Maybe he hon. estly believes we bet and that he won. That's al fright by me. After all, he's a good golfer and 1t wouldn't be a disgrace to be beaten by him. He's 8 magnificent butter,

HOPPE SETS WORLD
 BILLIARD RECORD

New York, Dec. 4(UP)-Willie Hoppe of New York needs but a single block victory today to win the national 71.2 balkline billiard championship from Jake Schaefer of Chicago.
 Hoppe, by winning one of two blocks yesterday and last night, forged into a GA lead in the 12- block match. He dropped yester- day afternoons match 25O to 93 to make the block score: Hoppe 5; Schaefer 4.
 Last night, however, Hoppe cre- ated a world record for high run as he won the tenth block 250 to 123. He clicked of a record of PAS in his unfinished third string. Should Schaefer win twice today the title would be decided on a basis of total points. Hoppe leads 219z to 2021.

 The husky coach isn't exactly sat- isfied in Seattle. Just to balance things, the Puget Sound country isn't over-enthused about Phelan. It is said that Phelan would welcome the change and chance to get in on the Southern California upswing.
 An upswing, incidentally, which is almost certain to come within the next grid season or two.
