The manner in which Soldiers and
Ray took the initiative in forming the
independent" union at the Stark
plant and in becoming active in the
strike strategy at the Berger Works
was described first by Guy L. Sweaney,
Stark workman; Lester Rice, presi-
dent of the A. F. Of L. union at
Berger, and Hartman. who is men,
ber of the A. F. of L. bus drivers union.
Asked for Information.
Hartman said he was a half
brother of Soldiers and that the latter
came to him in May, 1895, and asked
him to bring Soldiers information
about strike sentiment and union
activities.
On two visits. Hartman said, Sod
ders showed him a roll of bills, made
it plain that any information would
be well paid for and indicated that
Joseph F. Gilroy, Republican police
captain, would furnish more money
II needed
Hartman testified that he refused
to do any stool-pigeon work and that
Soldiers stopped calling on him.
Called to the stand, Soldiers said he
went to Canton from Youngstown to
work for J. L. Williams, superintendent
OF Republic police. On his arrival, he
said. he was asked to do outside
work. which consisted partly of keep
ing an eye on union members and
calling Williams by telephone to tip
him OF on what was going on.
Rice testified that during the Berger
strike Soldiers came to him and asked
If he could join the pickets, to make it
appear that he was discharged work
man Of the Stark plane, where he ad
mitted he never really had worked.
Soldiers said he was given . pay
check on that plant.
Admitted Taking Job.
Soldiers said he was not present
when the Stark independent" union
was organized and he was named pub
licity man. but he admitted serving in
the job. All he wanted from Harri-
man. Soldiers testified. were the names
Of bus drivers in the Berger picket
line.
Soldiers voice trembled with indig-
nation as he referred to his half.
brothers action in testifying against
him after favors which Soldiers had
done him.
Groundwork for today's questioning
OF Republic officials and workmen was
laid yesterday in introduction of
scores of expense vouchers for money
paid Soldiers and Ray.
That the two men were engaged in
this work was admitted by Capt.
Gilroy and Supt. williams of the
police system. Mr.. Williams said he
probably had paid as many as 800
persons for information brought in
about workers in the plants.
Soldiers and Ray, called to the
stand just before yesterdays hearing
recessed, confirmed the testimony of
the two company police officials.
Bloodshed and violence figured
literally through yesterdays testi-
mony as some half dozen residents
Of Canton, including one woman and
several men who had no connection
with the steel company, took the stand
to tell of wounds which they said
had been inflicted by Republic guards
while the company was breaking a
strike in the plants of the Berger Man.

|NSURGENT SHELLS
HIT j. s. EMBASSY
Four Hit Madrid Building
During Bombardment,
but None Is Hurt.

BACKGROUND
Spdin'S cfufl iDdr continues despite
insurgent pressure on east coast.
Franco hopes to force capitulation
OF Madrid by rolling back the de-
tenders OF Valencia and taking oper
ports of entry. Dogged defense of
Madrid, long under siege, has typi-
fed Loyalist cause and inspired
forces.
BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, July 20. - The United
States Embassy Building here was hit
by four shells early today when in
surgent artillery bombarded the city.
Some damage was caused but no one
in the Embassy Building was hurt.
Elsewhere in the city seven persons
were wounded.
The embassy has not been occupied
by diplomatic officers since early in
the war. (The Ambassador. Claude G..
de Luz, France.)
The shelling began about am.
Some of the shells, unusually large,
tore great holes in buildings and
streets. Citizens rushed from their
beds TO cellars and other shelters.
This was the first time the Embassy
had sustained a direct hit during the
nearly two years siege of Madrid.
Shell fragments and bullets frequently
had landed in the garden.
One shell crashed through the roof
of the porter'S lodge, hit the ground,
tore through a gate and exploded in
the street. Another struck a tennis
pavilion, smashed two windows and
riddled the walls with fragments.
1nsurgent Drive Slowed.
HENDAYE, France cat the Spanish
frontieD, July 20 LP).-The govern
ment,s U-shaped line of hasty de-
lenses across the Valencia
highway slowed the first wave of the
Spanish insurgents six-day offensive
today.
Dispatches from Generalissimo
Frances headquarters admitted gov
ernment resistance suddenly had stiff
fened as the militiamen's retreat
brought, them to the new defense line
Insurgents were forced hastily to
reorganize their lines. Orders were
given for an extraordinary effort on
the part of the two f1anks, on either
side OF the highway, to catch up with
the center.
The new government line to defend
Valencia against the insurgent drive
runs south from Pima. curving slowly
across the highway to the crest of
Ragudo Hill, then turns northwest
through Ell Toro Mountains.
Insurgents reported they held the
village of Ragudo itself, nesting at
the foot Of the hill five miles from
Viver, the first of three cities Franco
must take before he reaches Valencia.

ATTENTION FARMERS


Much has been said concerning
the price Of butte fat at our
local Greamer y. Tt has been said
that we are not getting as much
as the farmers are outside for
butt fat.
For def Unite inf ormat ON along
these lines VIC have photographed
out to get the latest prices
on but ter fat and W ould like to
make one compari s Ons.
Creameries outside are now pay
ing Esd per pound for butter fat
fob Seattle. They sell 81 score
butter to the wholesalers at 25g
and 90 score butter at ESQ per lb.
Wholesalers work on 81 margin over
cube price, and sell to retailers
at 20 and 29G.
The present retail price varies
from cost to plus seven cents.
Our present price Of butter fat
to the farmers is eight conts
higher than out ide prices and
the retail price is not in COM
pGrison with the outside price,
Thereof orc, all stat omonts made
at random are far from being
definite or even close guesses.
IF the local creamery could get
three timos the present amount
Of butter Cat they could begin
to do business in business like
way, much to the sotis faction Of
every one conc Crned. But until
such time, we can not comp lain.
Figures show VIC are getting more
than we are entitled to and the
greatest diff guilty is lack Of
volumn in business, which should
come from the farmers.

Out for Walk,
Prosecutor Gets
Wolf and Work

Assistant District Attorney George
w. Folta started out for walk up
Sheep Greek basin Saturday after
noon, and today reported that it
turned out to be workout rather
than a constitutional. But it was
worth $40 so he didn't mind so much.
That is, 1t will be worth 500 when

more money in the wolf bounty tax
fund to make good the bounty war;
rant Folta collected this morning
Everything was perfect, including
the rest he was taking about mile
and half up in Sheep Greek basin,
when the Prosecutor got his wolf
the first one taken in that area this
season. He spied the animal on the
mountain side about 500 yards away
while taking life easy, he reported
Attempting to approach closer, the
animal sighted him and started run
ming. Out of four shots, two took eff
feet.
After climbing up to get the wolf
which he dispatched with final
bullet, the official found that he had
forgotten his knife, and then the
workout started. He carried the ami
NAL weighing around IS pounds,
the mile and half down to the Thane
road because he had nothing with
which to skin him.

commented the Prosecutor as he
moved his shoulders with caution
this morning, but it turned out to
be work, but perhaps. 1 can buy

improvement of the st. Louis
Browns inner defense by some so
percent, plus some spirit they
haven't known for years, should pull
my boys out of the cellar this sea-
son.
Our club is greatly improved
over last years team. They've con-
ditioned themselves like real
champions down here this spring
and we'll have no excuses from that
angle
The important factor to me is the
spirit of the boys. Say, they've got
much higher ambitions for this year
than eighth place and with them
feeling that way, l can't see to save
me how we're going to finish back
in the cellar.
Don't get we wrong-I don't say
they're world beaters in any sense
of the word. but they're going to
surprise lot Of those boys up there
in the first division
I'm proud of that keystone COM
bination of Red Kress at short and
Roy Hughes at second base. Base
hits won't be as plentiful around
that territory as they were last
year.
They should make a great double
play combination, but not until they
have played with each other long
enough to sense the others actiont
ahead of time. You don't meet &
girl and marry her overnight, and
that's the same way with double
play men around second base. The
have to know each other.
How about the American league
race?
Too many things can happen to
bail clubs between now and October
l don't see how any club can push
ahead of the Yankees. But if any
one of three of their important cog5
fail to come through because OF
injuries or something else, therell
be the Detroit Tigers to deal with,
and if that pitching staff Oscar
Witt has over at Cleveland comes
through, those Indians will be heard
from plenty
When Luke Appling hurt HIM
self, he also hurt Chicago's chances
to climb higher in the race.
Now about the Browns, again.
Therell be more than one morning
in 1888 when teams in the Ameri-
can league will wake up with ar
unpleasant Brown taste" in their
