manner in which he handled the 1887
automobile sit-down strikes when he
came to Flint, one of the major CEN
ters Of these strikes. The Democratic
Governor, campaigning for reelection.
did not mention the judges name, but
referred to "the judge involved"
Sheriff Thomas w. Wolcott, another
Democrat seeking reelection, spoke
from the same platform and gave an
explanation similar to the Governors
as to why an order by Judge Gadola
to eject strikers from General Motors
Corp plants here was not carried out.

Governor, Ito determine the time and
the situation that Is reasonable for
serving a writ. That is the law. It is
on our side. asked the sheriff to
wait. He would have been 4 butcher

destroyed the Judge involved. 1t would
have impaired the integrity Of the
courts. The Judge was saved by my
action-not harmed"
Gov. Murphy also said that "civjl
war was imminent in Flint" and q
word from him could have provided
the spark which would have set of
an explosion which would have ter

would have brought bloodshed and
II asked that enforcement Of the
court order be postponed, believing

AFTER CEDILLO
Shakeup Follows Rebel
Blasting of Train

MEXICO CITY, May Is GNS.)
In an effort to speed pursuit and
capture of Rebel Gen. Saturnino
Cedillo, President Lazaro Cardenas
changed his military commander
in the field today after Cedillistas
blew up a freight train on the
San Luis Potosi- Tampico line, kill.
ing three persons.
This train blast and the shift
in commanders was announced
only a few hours after the war
department had jubilantly de-
clared the Cedillo revolt crushed
and Cedillo himself attempting to
escape to the United States. The
war department had asserted Ce-
dillo'S agrarian followers were
fleeing before advancing federal
troops.
In addition to the three killed,
three men were injured when the
rebels. in q pointed retort to the
war department statement. blew
up the train 40 miles west of the
town Of CardenaS.
The insurgents exploded two
bombs. The blasts blew the trains
canoose to small pieces, destroyed
the cars and derailed the engine.
This was the first offensive
launched by the rebels against the
San Luis Potosi communication
system. Government officials
pointed out, however, that when
Cedillo was in rebellion years ago
against Carranza and Gales, he
specialized" in blowing up trains.

in better physical condition since
he broke his fast.
STOPPED BY FRIENDS
Declaring that he could have
gone on and on" in his abstinence
from food if his friends had let
him alone" the clergyman said:
MY plan at all times was not
to jeopardize my body-to go back
and take food when 1 thought I

thought I should. In fact, I did

AS he stepped from the train

sunken eyes and cheeks were the
only tell-tale marks of his expe-
Irience.

He has gained back about 40
pounds since he left the Memphis
hospital, he said.
Accompanying Dean Noe was
Edwin Smith, a nurse. The clergy
man said he will remain at Johns

want me to stay" He was placed
in a room in the Marburg Build

CHICAGO RELIEF BILLS DRAWN
Legislature to Convene in Special Ses.
sion Tonight

sion Tonight.
CHICAGO. May 20 (P.-Emergency
bills to alleviate Chicago's relief crisis
were drafted today in preparation for
tonights special session of the Legis-
lature.
The prime legislative task from
Chicago's viewpoint was to uncover
an additional Sl,000OOO a month to
meet the city's relief burden.
Chicago's. share of the State sales
tax is approximately $l.900,000 a
month. or about million short of the
amount relief officials say is needed.
The city's relief funds for May were
depleted after the first $4,000 families
on the rolls had been paid. The other
$4,000 families depended mainly upon
foodstuffs from the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corp. for sustenance.
Gov. Henry Horner proposed a
$500,000 limit on increased State ap-
preparations for relief monthly How
ever, he left the way open for legisla-
ton to uncover new sources of revenue
for relief.
State officials offered no comment
Immediately on statement made yes
terday by Harry Hopkins, Federal w.
p. A. administrator. Hopkins charged
the Legislature with responsibility for
the relief crisis and said there was
S9000,000 in the State treasury which
could be appropriated for relief.
Pennsylvania Funds Dwindle.
HARRISBURG, Pa, May 20 (P.-
The present rate of spending for re-

special session of its Legislature this
year, Cow George H. Earle said today.
If the Federal Government spends
no more in the future than it is now,
our relief money probably will last
only until the first of December" he
said. IF Congress won't give what
the President wants in spending
program, we'll have a deficit in relief
funds
The 1887 Legislature appropriated
$138, 100000 for all types of relief.
State Treasurer F. Clair Ross, dur
ing the primary campaign. said the
State was facing a deficit that might
run up to $7O,000,000.
