necessary against enemy attacks
at the air fields in event Of any
emergency.
Long-range bombers may also
be ferried in short hops over
Mexico, rather than by the long
er and more hazardous routes
over water. via Guantanamo,
the American naval base in Gu
ba, or by the new base to be
constructed on the island of
Jamaica under the destroyers-
for-bases trade with Great Brit
ain.
Mexican planes may utilize
United States air fields and bas-
es under the same conditions
and guarantees.
Since a successful bombing
attack on the Panama Canal
would block the big ditch" and
stop or seriously delay warships'
movements between the Atlantic
and Pacific, strengthening of
Panama's defenses has been q
major concern for American
military authorities.
The Mexican-American agree
ment, in the opinion of military
experts, has the effect of adding
several squadrons of fighter
planes TO Canal defenses, for it
means that aircraft from the
continental United States can be
thrown into the breach in a frac-
ton of the time 1t would take to
get them into the action area by
plane carriers.
Since pursuit and interceptor
planes, needed to fight off bomb
ing attacks, have a small fuel
capacity and limited flying
range it is necessary for the
United States to maintain strong
fighting squadrons at fields
close-by the Canal to insure its
immediate defense.
The general defense pact be-
tween the United States and
Mexico-announced on March S
made no specific arrangement
for defense undertakings, mere
ly stating that American and
Mexican experts would study
and discuss "plans relating to
the assistance which the two
countries would render each
other in the event of an aggres-
sion against either"
The agreement on airfield use,
the first understanding which
specifically implements the gen.
eral pact, was expected to be
followed by others as the ex-
perts reach definite conclusions
concerning additional desirable
defense preparations.

returning workers and members
of the crowd broke out shortly
before the first shift started to
work at am.
CUT TROLLEY ROPES
The trouble started at the
northwest corner of the huge
plant in suburban west Allis.
A group of pickets cut the troll
ley ropes of three streetcars
hauling workers.
The formidable armored fort
ress of the Milwaukee police de-
partment was dispatched to the
scene It broke up the concen-
tration.
The pickets then marched
south to the 10th street gate.
The peace officers endeavored
to push them back onto the
sidewalk. A melee of pushing
and hauling ensued. The police
men made no attempt to use
night sticks or tear gas.
The chauffeur of the armored
car soon broke up the throng
by driving his numbering We
hicle into it. Rocks were thrown
at the car as the pickets fell
back.
The first violence in the go
day strike came yesterday aft
ernoon when several hundred
sheriffs deputies and policemen
skirmished for more than an
hour with striking members of
the United Automobile Workers
Union (CIO), while workmen
were changing shifts.
USE ARMORED CAR
An armored car manned by a
score of deputies under the COM
mand of Sheriff Joseph j. Shin
ners swept strikers back with
tear gas bombs in order to break
up groups of pickets which mill
ed about the plant. The troll
leys of two street cars were
pulled down, hating the We
hicles which were carrying
workmen to and from the plant.
Trouble started toward the
close Of q quiet day during which
the company commended that
about So per cent of the normal
force returned to work against
the orders of union leaders.
Harold Christoffel, president
of the striking local 248, charg-
ed that the company figures
were absurd and definitely ex-
aggerated. Less than 200 work
ers entered the plant"
FEAR RETALIATION
The Rev. Raymond H. Ewing,
pastor of the Bluemound COM
munity church, told a ministers
meeting that many in his con-
gregation who work for Allis-
Chalmers wanted to return but
feared retaliation from the un-
ion. He said the conduct of

WASHINGTON, April 1-R
The United States and Mexico,
il was learned authoritatively
today, have concluded negotia-
tons of q defense agreement
providing for reciprocal use of
air fields and bases.
The agreement, qualified au-
thorities stated, would greatly
strengthen the aerial defenses
Of the Panama Canal by making
It possible for the United States
to shift air force reinforcements
rapidly southwark from this side
of the Rio Grande If danger
threatened the Canal zone.
This new defense compact, Of
ficials said, Is now ready for
formal signing by representa-
tives of the two governments,
and will become operative once
it has been ratified by Mexico's
congress.
Under its terms, army and
navy planes would be permitted
to fly the length of Mexico,
utilizing Mexican air fields en-
route for refueling and repairs,
and thus would be able to reach
Panama in the shortest possible
time.
The air fields understanding,
negotiated by Sumner Welles,
undersecretary Of state, and
Francisco Castillo Najera, the
Mexican ambassador, was con-
sidered of major importance
since it puts teeth" in the re-
Gently signed U. S.-Mexican
general mutual defense pact.
The terms Of the convention,
It was learned, provide that:
The United States may utilize
the Mexican route by giving the
Mexican government due notice
of the flight and the route to be
taken;
American military planes may
stop-over at any Of the Mexican
fields for "a hours for refueling
or repairs.

FiOurishing Hatchery

From humble beginning with but
one incubator Steiners Hatchery, To-
Gated on East Cherry Street, has
grown to an establishment with ca
pacity of $4,000 baby chicks per
week.
Brooding equipment is provided for
starting 5000 chicks. Over 100 poul-
try raisers living in three counties
produce eggs to supply the demand
for chicks. A large per cent of these
are shipped to eastern hatcheries.
Cream and poultry are also pur-
chased and poultry supplies, remedies
and feeds are sold.
The Master Feed Mill, subsidiry
of Steiner's Hatchery, was remodeled
in 1899 to take care of growing
business in custom grinding, feed
grain, fertilizer and wool.
Rev. E. G. Steiner is general man
ager of both enterprises. Oliver

the firm since 1884 and has charge OF
