Simultaneously a downtown traf-

MINE WAR

wounded and two white miners
were reported slightly hurt in an
exchange of shots at the company’s
Muscoda mine. Company officials
excluded everyone but police offi-
cers from the properties and Insti-
tuted a rigorous censorship of
news.
The Birmingham sheriff sent
hastily mobilized deputies to the
Wenonah mine throughout the
night in preparation for an at-
tempt to remove the beleaguered
miners this morning.
Shooting began less than two
hours after 2,200 men struck at the
three mines.
The T. C. I. * R., wholly owned
by United States Steel, ordered
one of three shifts of miners laid
off and the remaining men trans-
ferred from an hourly wage scale
to a tonnage basis. George Googe.
southeastern representative of the
American Federation of Labor,
charged the ha.nge was the first
move of a national effort by the
steel Industry to "mop up" trade
unions around its fringe in prepar-
ation for resisting a campaign to
unionize mill workers.
Only a fraction of the normal
forces entered the mines at 8 p. m.
when whistles summoned the first
shl/t under the new schedule. As
It became apparent that the force
was inadequate to work the mines,
company officials ordered the non-
union men out of the shafts.
A few minutes later rifles crack-
ed from dark mountain sides com-
manding the Muscoda workings.
Some residents of the neighborhood
said there were shots inside the
wire enclosed company property.
Furious Gunfire
Almost at the same time, as the
few workers at the Ishkooda mine
scuttled from the shaft under the
eye of armed guards, a heavy gun
fire broke out all around the hori-
zon. The guards deployed about
the unlighted mine houses and re-
turned a blind fire at distant
flashes.
Company authorities said more
than 100 bullets struck Inside the
mine property. Two guards, Wil.
liam Sanmeyer and Eddie Burgess,
were wounded.
An ambulance summoned from
Birmingham to remove the wound-
ed men was fired upon by moun-
tainside snipers, the driver report-
ed.

and three cents in pullmans. They
also have eliminated the 59 per
cent pullman surcharge, which has
been irritating travellers for 15
years.
The reductions went Into effect
at midnight last night. Only ex-
ceptions were a few scenic lines
In the western mountain country,
which were allowed to charge ex-
tra because of their added expense
in chugging up and down moun-
tains, and certain lines, such as
the Long Island railroad, which
still may charge commuters more
than the basic two cents.
All Is not lovely, however,
railroad circles, suits have been
filed, bus rates have been reduced,
and the passenger fare situation,
insofar as it concerns the eastern
carriers, approaches the chaotic.
Success in South
For the past several years,
Southern and Western railroads
have been operating at the two
cent basis, or below, on an experi-
mental basis. In all cases they
found increased traffic more than
offset the fare reductions, insofar
as net profits were concerned.
Operating on the theory that It
costs no more to haul a full car
than a half-empty one, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission de-
cided on February 28 to make the
low fares permanent, not only In
the south and the west, but also in
the cast, where the cream of the
passenger traffic is skimmed.
This brought a concerted pro-
test from every eastern carrier ex-
cept the Baltimore and Ohio.
When the ICC rejected a com-
promise offer 23 eastern roads
filed suit in federal court at New
York to have the order set aside.
They charged the new rates would
amount to confiscation of their
property.
Commisslonei* R. Porter answer-
ed formally in a petition which
held the order was not arbitrary
and that it was fully supported
by the evidence.
The passenger departments of
nearly all protesting railroads be-
gan vigorous advertising cam-
paigns, telling the public how
cheaply it could ride on the steam
trains.
Hardly had they done this be-
fore the bus companies lowered
their charges again, to keep the
differential between a train and a
bus ride intact.
Calling its new rate reduction
"the most drastic and general in
the history of the motor bus
system announced fare cuts down
to 1 1-4 cents per mile, or lower.
Virtually all long-distance trips
will cost less than two cents
mile.

DETROIT, June 1. (UP)—The
Wayne County orfe-man grand jury
met today to trace the sinister in-
fluence of the terroristic Black
Legion into the governmental
structure ruling Detroit.
Attorney General David H.
Crowley announced two judges and
a prominent politician would be
subpoenaed to tell what they knew
of the hooded band of night riders
known to have executed one man
and suspected of scores of crimes,
ranging, as one official said, "from
murder down.”
Crowley came here from Lansing
to confer with Circuit Judge Jas.
E Chenot, the one-man grand
jury designed to look into all
phases of legion activities. Chenot
has all the powers of the usual
grand jury—to subpoena witnesses
and return Indictments. Crowley
will ask him to summon the poli-
itician and the judges. Crowley
announced he also planned to
question personally Wayne County
Prosecutor Duncan C. McCrea, who
has been active in the Black Le-
gion investigation, but who has
been charged with once applying
for membership.

Threat of Violence
Strike leaders, heads of
Southern Farmers Union, reported
that the threat of violence was
from the other side.
H. L. Mitchell, executive secre-
tary of the union, telegraphed
Futrell from Memphis that the
strike was being conducted lawful-
ly and charged that "the plant-
ers have resorted to every illegal
act of tyranny and terrorism in
the catalog of crime,” to break
the union.
"As you have repeatedly refused
to act in behalf of the farm work-
ers in your state,” he said, "we
trust you will not order troops to
break the strike of our people."
He also wired a protest to Presi-
dent Roosevelt against use of
"federal maintained troops against
the really forgotten man.”

hia oratory waa a prime factor

But a Borah bolt would be un»
fortunate and might even become
disastrous for the Republican can-
didate. Backers of G^v. Alf DC.
Landon, who were attempting to
be party peacemakers Ln all di-
rections have made overtures to
Borah. It was John D. M. Hamil-
ton, Landon campaign managwr
who first proposed that Mr.
Hoover be Invited to address tho
Republican National Convention.
William Allen Wliite. Emporia,
Kansas, editor, suggested several
weeks ago that Borah join in
drafting a statement of party
principles as a basis for the Cleve-
land platform. '
Borah "ffefused the invitation.
In hia speech, of last Thuraday
night, Borah apparently attempt-
ed to demonstrate that hia mind
would not be open to further sug-
gestions of that sort. Whereas at
the outset of his presidential can-
didacy the senator stressed the,
Importance of the GOP platform
and placed individual candidates
in a secondary position. His
Thursday speech argued that ths
platform would mean little com*

antl-Japanese manifestations.
Large student delegations plan-
ned to proceed tomorrow to the
Pciyang snd Nanyuan barracks,
north and south of Peiping, re-
spectively, to urge the troops to
make immediate preparations
fight-
The gravity Df the situation
deepened when 10,000 students In
seven univerrDies and six middle
schools went on strike to protest
the "Japanese military occupation
of North China.”
The strike reached such serious
I proportions that the faculties of
two educational institutions dis-
missed their classes for three days,
effective today.
‘‘Wc arc as patriotic as you
students," the professors said.
Meanwhile Tientsin, 90 miles
down the railway from Peiping,
was tense. w
The Japanese military took offi-
cial cognizance of Chinese allega-
tions that the Japanese are re-
sponsible for Tientsin’s prime mys-
I tery—the daily appearance of
I bodies floating (down the Hal Ho
I (Sea River). To date 358 bodies
have been fished from the muddy
stream.
Truth Demanded
A spokesman at Japanese North
China headquarters, in the Japan-
ese concession at Tientsin, de-
manded that the Chinese Bureau of
Public Safety reveal the' truth
"The truth is,” a Japanese
spokesman said, "that the Tientsin
municipal opium clinic disposed of
the bodies in the river rather
than pay the $10 burial costs.”
Students countered by distribut-
ing pamphlets asserting that the
bodies were those of Chinese em-
ployed by the Japanese to erect se-
cret fortifications.
"They were murdered when
their work was done because dead
men tell no tales,” the students
charged.

reflected by department store
sales, showed a further expansion
during April.
The dollar volume of business
was 4.7 per cent larger than in
March, and was 11.6 per cent
better than in the corresponding
month of 1935.
The business mortality rate in
the Eleventh District reflected a
itiarp decline in April, according
to Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., which
reported 17 failures during the
month as compared with 25 in
March and 32 in April 1935.
The indebedness of defaulting
firms, however, increased from
$12^,000 in March to $520,000 in
April.
Light to heavy rains which fell
over much of the district since
the middle of April were very
beneficial for planting and growth
of many field corps.
A noticeable improvement in the
condition of ranges and livestock
■over a large area of the district
occurred as a result of the rains.
Condition of .cattle ranges in
Texas was rated by the Depart-
ment or Agriculture at 74 per
cent of normal on May 1, as com-
pared with 76 per cent on April
1, and 66 per a year ago.
The April receipts of cattle,
hogs, nnd sheep at the Fort Worth
market reflected seasonal *n
crease over the previous month
and the same month last year.
A further seasonal decline in
tho receipts of cotton at the ports
of Houston and Galveston oc-
cured between March and April.
Roceipls of April, however, wore
larger Ilian in the sarpe month
last year.
Foreign exports of cotton from
,* I nited States ports reflected
a seasonal decline from those in
the previous month.
Exports for April totaled 352,-
710 bales, as compared with 404,-
741 bales in March and 323,155
bales in April 1935.

Lindsley finally was cornered
when he sent James Hamilton, a
trusty-guard he held hostage for
80 hours, to see if any guards
were noir an oil well partrolled
by J A. Walker, a watchman.
Hamilton had been forced to ex-
change clothing with Lindsley and
a guard almost, killed him.
Hamilton's facial contortions,
however, indicated to the guard
Lindsley was in the neighbor
hood and the fugitive, recognizing
his scheme had failed, fired a shot
which wounded Walker. Then
he raced toward the gully in
which tne posse trapped him.
