THE EVE NING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1937. *% A—5 mfl—hx‘ S SAESENT CLOSE T0BLBAD But Navy Department Says Order Was a Routine Operation. BT the Associated Press. The Navy Department said today the arrival of the American destroyer Kane yesterday at St. Jean de Luz, a Prench port on the Bay of Biscay near besieged Bilbao, was a routine op- eration without any special. signifi- cance. 5 The cruiser Raleigh and the de- stroyers Hatfield and Kane have been assigned to waters adjacent to Spain for several months for the protection of any Americans who might need aid in leaving the troubled area. St. Jean de Luz is headquarters of the majority of the diplomatic corps, including the American Am- bassador accredited to Spain, and one of the three naval vessels is usually to be found there. The commanding officer of this squadron directs the movements of the ships and keeps the Navy De- partment informed when any of them changes its position His routine report to the department of the Kane's arrival at St. Jean de Luz gave rise to rumors here that the destroyer had gone there to stand by for possible evacuations of Americans from Bilbao, ‘The Navy said it had issued no in- structions to that effect and the State | Department announced there were no Americans near zone. The American Consul and all members of the American colony there were taken to places of safety several months ago. The Raleigh is now at Villefranche, France, on the Mediterranean and the Hatfleld at Gibraltar. The Kane went to St. Jean de Luz from La Pallice, France, also on the Bay of Biscay.

From Buttermilk Falls, at the east‘ end of the valley, where flood waters swept around the bend to destroy Johnstown long ago, down 7'; miles to the point where the flood bulged against a huge stone bridge, citizens gathered today in sullen groups. One group cheered the strikers and pickets, urging them on. Another hurled denunciations at them, holding them responsible for the terrorism which swept the 7-mile | Cambria plant area last night. Neutral residents of the valley called for peace and an end to bloodshed. In Johnstown, they organized a group of “‘vigilantes” to support Mayor Daniel J. Shields. The Mayor telephoned Gov.

Beth= lehem, second in size in the industry only to United States Steel, has work for 80,000 persons. Union leaders held secret confer- ences in Pittsburgh yesterday. They declined comment “at this time” on reports that the strike was to be ex- tended. Of all the strike-tortured cities, Johnstown now was the most appre- hensive. It wondered if tne night's disorders were to be forerunners of more violence. The trouble burst suddenly shortly after the midnight hour when shifts change. It was at the little used Point Stadium gate of the Cambria Works. Police said a crowd of men and boys set upon them as the gate was being opened to permit the entry of an auto- mobile carrying two men. The officers retaliated with tear gas bombs. Pistol fire broke out. Tony Mangas, a picket, was struck by bullets and critically wounded. Ambulances that raced to the scene came upon Phillip A. Frye, a Bsthle- hem worker, lying seriously hurt in & street not far away. His skull was fractured. Almost simultaneous with the out- break of violence, Mayor Shields an- nounced the organization of a Citi- zens' Committee to maintain order. The midnight fight at the Point Stadium gate was the night's second outbreak. The earlier disorder was between State police, in full riot equip- ment, and pickets at the entrance to the Franklin mill of the Cambria plant. A girl, an 8-year-old boy and three other persons were hurt in that clash, fought in a driving rainsto: Germany Sells to Soviet.

EMANDS Blanket Wage Increase and 35-Hour Week Are Be- lieved Sought. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, June 15.—S8peculation arose today on the heeis of a union strategy session concerning new de- mands the United Automobile Work- ers of America will present to General Motors Corp. A permanent committee to draft the demands was in session here yes- terday, but the result of its deliber- ations was not disclosed. The com- mittee consists of Homer Martin, U. A. W. head, and representatives of 17 locals throughout the country. The John L. Lewis union June 11 gave formal notice to General Motors that it proposed to ask for important revisions in the agreement ending a strike that tied up virtually every General Motors plant in the country last Winter. That was the earliest date upon which such notice could be given under the agreement, which expires August 11. Blanket Pay Raise. Although lacking official confirma- tion, the demands under consideration were understood to include: A blan- ket wage increase of 10 cents an hour, which would add $50,000,000 to the annual pay roll of the corporation; a seven-hour day and 35-hour week; & national minimum wage of 75 cents hourly for women and 85 cents for men; straight seniority, with a 15-day, instead of six months, trial period | for new employes, and sole collective | bargaining rights for the U.'A. W. in all General Motors plants. No General Motors official has com- mented upon what may happen when these demands are presented. It is noteworthy, however, that by August 11 most producers will be close to their new model periods, with the annual New York show opening late in October. Sporadic Strikes. More than twoscore sporadic strikes have interfered with production in General Motors units since the agree- ment was signed. In virtually every instance the union has termed them “unauthorized.” The corporation announced that more than 56,000 of its workers were idle yesterday because of strikes and parts shortages resulting from strikes. Included in the number are 12,000 Ternstedt Manufacturing Co. em- ployes in Detroit, 5500 in the Sag- inaw Grey Iron foundry, 14,000 Chev- rolet and Fisher Body Corp. em- ployes at Flint and 25,000 in other Fisher and Chevrolet factories stat- tered throughout the country. That some of the demands will meet with objection on the part of | the corporation is commonly accept- ed in automotive circles. There has been a suggestion also that the corporation will demand some more definite assurance from the union that a new contract when finally agreed upon will be rigidly carried out. Most producers decline to discuss the potentialities of the new model season because of the labor unrest. In one authoritative source today, however, it was said that there is no intention on the part of any pro- ducer to shut down his plants in the immediate future. That suggestion has been heard fre- quently in connection with the Ford Motor Co., against which the U. A. W. has just begun a unionization drive. Closure would affect approxi- mately 150,000 workers, but Ford at present appears to have chosen to fight the unionization drive. HERZOG'S INC. . . . the store for men AEG—G—_— .

Sheriff Ralph Elser was hand- ed the search warrant with in- structions to see if the guns are illegally held. Sheriff Elser and eight depu- ties, armed with the warrant, made a 45-minute search of the main office building at the steel plant and reported he found no weapons.
