FRENCH REDS PLAN ‘PROTEST' PARADE Assail Fascism as ‘Assassin Which Killad Salengro.’” Inquiry Ordered. B the Assoclated Press. PARIS, November 19.—French Com- munists called today for a huge street protest against “fascism—the assassin which killed Salengro.” ‘They appealed for a great parade Bunday to coincide with the funeral at Lille of Minister of Interior Roger Salengro, who committed suicide Tuesday night, blaming his Rightist accusers. Premier Leon Blum, temporarily' taking over the interior portfolio, or- dered a judicial inquiry into Salengro's ceath. Facing a new Leftist-Rightist storm over the suicide, the Socialist pre- mier also was confronted by a new wave of strike trouble in the region about Lille. Metal Workers Walk Out. A general walkout of metal workers was called there in sympathy with 2.700 workmen in a Lille factory who struck yesterday in protest against the discharge of a union delegate. A “sit-down” strike” of dock work- ers at Bordeaux, at the same time, crippled waterfront Aactivity, Blum began the suicide investiga- tion as extreme Leftists demanded the Jailing of “Fascist defamers,” whom they charged with driving Salengro to | il himself by accusations he was a ‘World War deserter. Leftist throngs carried on demon- strations in Paris and Lille, where the minister's body was found in a gas- filled room yesterday. “Avenge Salengro!" the strators shouted in a resurgence of Leftist-Rightist political agitation. demon- | Mass Meeting Called. A mass meeting of Blum's supporters was called for Saturday in Paris “to 7z enable the people to pay homage to | the memory of Salengro and cry out their hatred for murderous fascism.” Friends of workers remaining in the idle Bendix Products'Corp. plant at South Bend, Ind., in defiance of orders to leave, are shown passing blankets to some of them through a window.

Faces First Automotive Test. BY the Associated Press. SOUTH BEND, Ind., November 19.— A demand by labor leaders for com- plete unionization of the idle Bendix Products Corp. plant was carrled to a conference table today to meet a fiat declaration by Vincent Bendix that the concern would “never agree” to a closed shop. The conference—aimed at initiating a settlement of the labor dispute which led employes to a dramatic work halt two days ago—was called while part of the 4,300 idle workers held to their de- termination to remain in the plant pending an agreement. the deliberations might indicate the success of first efforts by the Commit- tee for Industrial Organization—John L. Lewis faction warring with the American Federation of Labor over workers in the automobile industry. “Door Open” to Negotiations. Bendix, head of the automotive ac- cessories concern, said a closed shop there was “economically impossible,” but emphasized to negotiations.” A powerful aggregation of C. 1.

F iAtional that the council's suspension action against 10 C. I, O. unions was illegal, dictatorial and in violation of the federation’s constitution. ard’s charge was made in Indianapolis | although his credentials as a conven- tion delegate for the I T. U. were ap- proved on Monday and a seat in the convention 1s available for him. In his answer, Green follows the familiar strategy of the council in placing re- | sponsibility for the split in labor's ranks upon the C. I O. unions. Reminding Howard that the I. T. U. is not under suspension, Green asked: “Why are you not here at Tampa? If ot were here, you would be accorded the widest opportunity to present all the arguments offered in your telegram and appeal to the delegates here to accept your point of view.” ‘ Responsibility Placed. Recalling his appeal to the C. I. O | unions to come to the convention and fight in “man fashion,” and refusal of that group to engage in committee | conferences, Green continued “The responsibility for failure to meet and confer rests upon you and your associates. It is inconceivable | | that the American Federation of Labor | 1 is so impotent as to be unable to deal | vigorously, through its Executive Coun- tempt by a rival organization to im- pose a minority decision of a conven- | tion wpon the majority of the feder- | ation.” Although Howard is absent, other | delegates of the I. T. U. are attending | the sessions. Shown the Green tele- gram, Delegate W. R. Trotter, director of the I. T. U. Bureau of Statistics, snapped: “More of Green's humbu( ‘The sus- pension action was illegal; that’s why the council is asking approval of a rule of procedure which would give them such authority. Even with that they haven't got nerve enough to ask that it be made retroactive.” The rule referred to by Trotter was submitted to the convention on Mon- day, and is in the hands of a com- mittee headed by Arthur O. Wharton, himself a member of the council and president of the machinists’ union.

The rule goes further to authorize revocation of | charters, but specifies this must re- | ceive approval of a two-thirds vote of & convention, Ratification Expected. ‘While continuance of the long-range | verbal war simply adds weight to the belief that this rupture in the labor | movement will be of indefinite dura- | tion, the conviction is growing here that the convention will adopte a reso- lution next week by which the sus- pension action will be ratified and the | council delegated authority to repre- | | sent the federation throughout the controversy, possibly with power to expel if that seems advisable at a later date. | Green refused comment on an or- der issued by the United Mine Work- ers'’ Union in Washington chat he | abandon his fight against the C.
