 Clifford Hollister, vice-president of the company, was in New York today and could not be reached.
 James J. Robinson, field repre- sentative for the CIO, who is now in Waterbury, received telegram announcing the start of the strike from Vernon Hodge, president of Local 1885, Detroit. Hodge said that union employees were occupying the power house and that pickets were on duty at the company gates.
 Statement Issued
 The American Brass Go. this fAl statement with the strike at the firms Detroit branch:
 Detroit, April 19, 1888.
 "The company put into effect a 10Ro reduction for all salaried and hourly rated employees, effective April 3, 1888.
 "The power house crew, to- gether with some of the mainte- nance employees in the shop, shut off the power at about 1230 p. m. and refused to permit power to be transmitted into the plant proper.
 Tn order to avoid confusion and possible complications, the management has decided to shut the plant down until further mo- tice.
 Apparently a minority of the plant employees felt that the ac- ton taken today by them is the proper way to show their dis pleasure with the company's wage reduction.
 "The company has at no time refused to bargain collectively with its employees"

WALLACE TO MAKE
PENNSYLVANIA TOUR
Secretary, Back From Midwest,
Says Farm Revolt Reports
Are Exaggerated,

Secretary Wallace, claiming assur-
ance after trip through the Middle
West that reports of farm revolt"
against the New Deal agricultural pro-
gram were exaggerated, plans to leave
tonight for a political speaking trip in
Pennsylvania.
At q press conference yesterday Sec
retary Wallace accused Senator VAN
denberg, Republican, Of Michigan;
John D. M. Hamilton, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and
Senator Capper, Republican. of KAN
sas Of misleading farmers in condemn
ing the program as failure.
Mr. Wallace yesterday spent an hour
at the White House in conference with
President Roosevelt over the proposed
two-price domestic farm-products
program, whereby the Government
would buy surpluses and sell them to
the poor at prices below the market.
The Secretary later said the pro-
gram has not yet been perfected, and
that In any event the two-price policy
was no infringement upon the existing
farm program. He intimated it would
first be tried with cotton and grape
fruit.
I'VE are not changing our policy"
Mr.. Wallace said. "The policy is that,
exceDt in coSes Of unusual en1errencv
We shall operate as we now are. Other
wise, In cases due to unusual crops,
the subsidy idea is to be tried, but in
that case we would rather give the sub
sidy for the benefit Of domestic con-
sumers than Of foreign countries"
