Two shirts were identified this

dents as those taken IN a $1,000
burglary in that village. Chief Dan
E. l.. Patch said today.
The shirts were portion OF the
loot which has been gathered by
city police from various parts 81
the southeast section OF the state.
Many of the articles have been
identified by persons in Ann Ar
Dor. Ypsilanti and Plymouth.
Lynts has admitted breaking

Ann Arbor and Plymouth but had
not been questioned up to noon
today on the Berkeley burglary.
Credit Due EIka Family
Credit is being given the Elka
family for the important part they
played in giving information which
led to arrest OF Lynts. Markings
on silverware, which Mr.. Elka had
purchased, aroused suspicion and
the arrest followed information
which was given TO aid the police

sponsible for thefts.
The police are still working on
the case in the hope that all angles
will be quickly cleared and that
all persons implicated in robberies
will be taken into custody.

Congress May

With Demands

Washington, Mar. l1-INS-Pre-
dictions that Congress will be fore
ed TO act on antistrike legislation
today brought a counter assertion
that an organized anti-labor move
ment is under way in the nation.
Sen. O'Daniel (D) Tex, declared
that congressional mail bags are
filled with fresh demands from
voters that alleged labor abuses be
corrected by legislation.
Sen. Guffey (D) Pa, countered
with the charge that AN organized
anti-labor movement is being pro-
NOTED based upon false informa-
ton"
i believe that Congress will be
forced TO take some action, al
though | don't know how strong the
legislation may be" said O'Daniel.
II am afraid Congress is sticking
out its neck. and IL 1t doesn't act
pretty soon it will get 1t in the neck
as 1t did on the question of con-
gressional pensions. They'll make
us look ridiculous.
Action Demanded

getting mail demanding action.

The people don't complain so
much about wages. but many are
unable to understand why time
and a half or double thee must be
paid for work over 40 hours a week.
There is much complaint that
labor bosses in factories tell men
they'll get fired II they produce

Few Idle
Assailing this view Guffey said :
There are 100000 to 15,000,-
600 people working in war indus
tries and less than $4,000 are out
on account of labor troubles now
Labor is not loafing. 1t is do
