Toledo’s battle centered about the
plant of the Electric Auto-Lite company in which 1,800 non-striking employees had been besieged for fifteen
hours by a great mob of riotous strikers and frequently fired upon by
snipers on the roofs\of nearby buildings. The windows of the plant were
all broken by stones) and_ torches
thrown through them started many
fires. The police used tear gas-bombs
but were roughly handled by the mobs,
so six companies of state troops were
called out and they, marching with
fixed bayonets, scattered the strikers
and released the imprisoned employees,
Later the strikers and their friends
gathered again and fought furiously
with the troops, showering them with
bricks and paving stones. Dozens of
soldiers were injured and finally the
exasperated guardsmen fired on the
mobs, two rioters being killed and
many wounded. Tear gas and the
more powerful “knockout” gas were
freely used by both sides.
Charles P. Taft, son of the late
President, was sent from Washington
to Toledo as special mediator for the
national labor board of the NIA.
ENATOR ROBINSON, majority

The house must thenythe “Midway,”

public, and in the main it was just
what was expected from the Chicago
lawyer and his colleagues. It analyzed
eight of the more important codes and
found that seven of them foster
monopolies, help big business and do
a lot toward putting small concerns”
out of business. These seven codes
are: Electrical manufacturing, footwear division, rubber manufacturing,
motion pictures, retail solid fuel, steel,
ice, and bituminous coal. The report
found no monopolistic features in the
cleaners and dyers’ code.
Administrator Johnson and his chief
counsel, Donald R. Richberg, had been
given the report previously for the
purpose of composing a reply to it.
This they did, to the extent of 50,000
vigorous words. They answered all
the Darrow charges and asserted the
report was ‘'superficial,” “intemperate,”
“inaccurate,” “prejudiced,” “one sided,”
“inconsistent,” “nonsensical,” “insupportable,” “false,” and “anarchistic.”
Darrow came back with a caustic
answer that drew further violent Jangkuage from the NRA chiefs, and the

Mr. Dalrymple read to the committee letters from C. W. Broom and
Lee Shannon, who told the Justice
department assistant that persons
whom they declined to name had informed them of the meeting at Hurley’s home, where prominent Republicans were alleged to have planned
how they could hold on to patronage

. Sopusveue exposition, A Century
of Progress, was reopened for another summer with a big military
parade and much ceremony. The fair
has \been reconstructed and redecorated and is a bigger and better exposition this year than the one that called
forth so. much enthusiastic praise in
1933. The best of the former exhibits and features have been retained,
but many new ones have been added
and everything has been brought up
to date. There are 12 new foreign
villages for the edification and amusement of visitors; the Chicago and Detroit symphony orchestras will give
long series of fine concerts; the scientific and manufacturers’ exhibits have
been vastly improved and enlarged;
bettered in various
ways, has been moved to .the lake
front of the island; and the entire exposition is resplendent with new
colors and new lighting.

—and such a measure was promptly
introduced by Senator: Key Pittman,
Some members of the silver bloc were
far from satisfied with the bill, but
there was every indication that it
would be passed before the end of the .
session, the senators from the silver
states accepting it in lieu of anything
better from their point of view, If
they sought to defeat it the probable
result would be a long fight and no
silver bill whatever. The bill really
leaves to the discretion of the Presi-:

King Boris either
sponsored the movement or quietly yielded to it. He promptly
signed about thirty
decrees that were prepared in advance, dissolving the parliament
and putting the new

‘with Kimon GueroKing Boris uieft as premier.
Members of the former government
and several other persons were arrested. Not only in Sofia, the capital,
but throughout the country the military leaders were in control.
' The program of the new government was set forth in a long manifesto calling for the creation of a disciplined, orderly state. The principal
alterations in the structure of the government include a sharply reduced

Good news came from Rio de Janeiro, where representatives of Peru

‘South America for twenty months.
frok more than thirty years the radical La Folletteites of Wisconsin
have been operating as Republicans
and under that label have competed,
often with success, Py Fj
for control of the Z
state. Now this is to
be changed. With the
aid of delegates from
labor and farm organizations, the followers of Senator La
Follette, assembled
in convention in Fond
du Lac, formed a new.
party and named it
the Progressive party. sete
No statement of prinSenator
ciples was made, all @ Follette
attempts to bring one forth being
squelched. :
Senator La Follette kept in the background until questions of organization were settled. With the party
name decided, the senator came into
the picture with a prepared speech.
The period called Republican prosperity, he said, had culminated in the
collapse of the country’s economic life,
“The disaster of 1929 and the acute
distress and suffering of the American
people that followed were made possible by the betrayal of the people’s
trust. by men in both parties, controlled through their party organizations by privileged interests.”
A few hours later a state central
committee was formed, with former
Gov.: Philip La Follette as its chairman, and in Milwaukee it began mapping out the campaign for the autumn
PPROXIMATELY $8,000,000 damage was done by a conflagration
in Chicago that was described as the
worst that city had experienced since
the great fire of 1871. It started in
the Union Stock Yards, familiar to
all visitors to the city, and within a
few hours had swept over an area
equivalent to about eight ‘city blocks.
The flames also leaped across Halsted
street, destroying many shops and res.idences. Happily only one human life
was lost, though the injured, mostly
firemen, numbered some 1,100. As the

by Finance Director Rolland Vandegrift. The state, buying for cash and
in big lots, is paying 20 per cent more
for commodities generally than in May,
1933, and Vandegrift estimated that
the average citizen, buying at the -corner grocery, must be paying 30 .-to 40
per cent more for his food and living
necessities.
Misunderstanding which originated
when Rev. Dillon W. Throckmorten
signed a formal protest against Santa
Slara anti-picketing ordinances has resulted in his resignation as pastor of
the Santa Clara Federated Protestant
church. He was accused of radical activities in connection with the strike
of cherry pickers a year ago.

The state department. of public
health has defined whisky and gin so
“that from now on, Californians will be
able to buy by the labels and know
what they are getting. The definitions
were similar to those laid down by the
federal government when the new regulations on_ bottling liquors were
made. The alcohol content, age of the
spirits, and like information are now
to be placed onthe bottles, officials of
the public health board said.
Although framers of the new San
Diego county chartér intended to effect a substantial saving by consolidating all constables under direction
of the sheriff, cost to taxpayers for
salaries alone was jumped by the supervisors from $87,590 this year to $104,880 for the next fiscal year. One of the
items of increased cost is creation of
a new job, that of head constable at
$200 a month. What his duties will be
are indefinite.
In terms in which there can be no
doubt of the attitude of students of the
Redondo Beach high school in upholding the ideals of ‘the American government, student leaders recently repulsed characteristic advances of an
asserted Communistic organization designed to foment strife in the school.
The student organization informed
Communists they did not care to join
the Red organization or to have anything to do with it.
