THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C REPUBLIC,C.1.0. OPEN COURT FIGHT Police Patrol Wide Zone as Pickets Are Set Back After Riots. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, July 28.—Uniformed | ity police patrolled a newly established strike zone in the mill-dotted Cuya- hoga River Valley today as counsel for striking steel workers and Republic Stel Corp. opened the latest court bat- tle in the C. I. O.s steel industry | campaign for bargaining contracts. Enforcing a proclamation issued by Eliot Ness, city safety director, the of- ficers moved pickets 500 yards from Republic's Corrigan-McKinney works. | Ness issued the mandate following | Monday’s riotous clash between strik- ers and non-striking Republic em- ploves, in which one man was struck and killed by an automobile and at least 80 were injured in hand-to-hand [ fighting. Republic turned to Common Plens: Court after the furious outbreak and asked that the number of pickets at | each plant entrance be fixed and an injunction be issued against interfer- ence with workers “Begun by Paid Thugs.” . Damich, regional C. I. O. di- r, named as a defendant in Re- on, asserted: “All of the trouble was instigated by paid agents and hired thugs. This will be proven during trial of the in- Junction suit.” Chief Justice Homer G. Powell set the hearing for today in the face of bitter objections by attorneys for the C. L O. affiliated Steel Workers' Or- ganizing Committee. Several Republic workers reported to police last night that their automobiles were stoned outside the area, but gen- erally, police said, cars went to and from the plant unmolested Early in the night crowds began to gather {n the section in front of the main gates of the plant, but they were ordered back to a point three blocks from the plant entrance. Mayor Burton met a C. I. O. com- mittee and forwarded to Republic Steel a request that it hire no out-of-State workers and that it give him a com- plete report on eircumstances leading to the attack on the union soup kitchen. “Company Stirs Up Trouble.” Al Balint, C. I. O. organizer, told the Mayor 200 “company” men made the attack. He said it was “planned by Republic Steel Corp. as an excuse to bring the National Guard back ta protect scabs.” Guardsmen were withdrawn soon after Republic re- opened its four plants here July 6 without violence. “When your men started hurling rocks at cars, you go too far,” Mayor Burton admonished the C. I. O. com- mittee, “All the rock-throwing was not done %y our people,” Balint replied. “Re- public workers were trying to stir up trouble.” Witnesses said approximately 500 ‘workers came out of the plant at one time and set upon & crowd of 100 pickets. H. B. Carpenter, Republic superintendent,. explained: “The men got sore at the strikers. We just couldn't keep them in the plant. The windows on nearly all the cars that entered the plant yesterday were smashed.” President (Continued From First Page.) the break to be indicated by some such move as withdrawal of a diplo- matic representative or imposition of | an embargo. In addition to watching the situa- | tion with respect to possible neutrality action, Early said safety of American nationals at Peiping, scene of the principal fighting, was of primary . concern.

Wang, Chinese Ambassa- dor, called at the State Department yesterday, and it is understood Secre- tary Hull told them an armed conflict between China and Japan would be a great blow to the cause of peace and world progress.” The Chinese Embassy last night made public a statement disclaiming responsibility for outbreak of the pres- ent strife and expressing anxiety of the Chinese government to preserve peace in Fast Asia. “The Chinese minister for foreign affairs,” it was stated, “repeatedly pro- posed that a definite date be fixed for LUMBER and MILLWORK Come to “The Family Lumber Yard" for lumber, millwork, paints, hardware, sand, gravel, A complete ‘stock of m terials for repairs—we sell any quantity. and cut Lumber to wanted sizes at no_extra eost. de- livery.

By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y, July 28.—Whole- sale food merchants opened their ware- houses today in deflance of 1,000 striking delivery truck drivers, but union men seeking a closed shop and increased wages tightened picket lines and stopped food movement before dwindling stocks in retail stores could be replenished. -Doubled police details guarded two big food terminals where most of the 44 strike-bound dealers have ware- houses.

Un- fortunately, Japan not only refused to accept the Chinese proposal, but per- sisted in sending large reinforcements to North China.” “Extreme Forbearance” Cited. The “extreme forbearance” of the Chinese government in endeavoring to preserve peace, it was stated, “must be plain to all observers.” “On the other hand,” it was point- ed out, “Japan not only failed to withdraw her troops but continued to send heavy reinforcements into the Peiping and Tientsin area “In the night of July 25 the Jap- anese troops made an unprovoked at- tack on the Chinese garrison in Lang- fang, during which a large number of Japanese bombing planes were brought into action. The Japanese further presented impossible demands to the Chinese local authorities and staged a rapid succession of provoca- tive acts in the outskirts of Peiping. “All these clearly indicate that the Japanese are bent on aggravating the present crisis with the view of achiev- ing sinister designs in North China. China has exhausted her efforts for peace, and the responsibility for fu- ture developments in North China rests solely with Japan.” — e MOTHER ASKS CUSTODY Recently Had Former Husband Arrested for Allegedly Brutal Beating. Mrs. Margaret Hoffman, 1428 R street, today asked District Court to award her permanent custody of her son, Frederick Storm. The boy now is in custody of his father, Robert E. Storm. who was given care of the child after obtain- ing an absolute divorce several years ago. Mrs. Hoffman recently had Storm arrested for allegedly beating the boy in & brutal manner, but the father Wwas acquitted in the Police Court. Mrs. Hoffman's petition for custody of the boy, filed through Attorney Walter Dosh, denied that she is not & suitable person to care for the boy, and also denied any improper rela- tions with her present husband.

With Congress in haste to adjourn, it has been suggested that as soon as the new judicial bill has been passed it may be impossible to hold the members here. The tentative program. so far as the Senate is concerned, was for passage of the Connery-Black wage and hour bill, which now is the unfinished busi. ness of the Senate, and then the Wag- ner housing bill. Senator McCarran said he thought the court bill would be taken up after the housing bill. Senator Barkley, however, said there had been no decision as to when the court bill would be called up. The ever-normal granuary bill. de- signed to aid the farmers. apparently is to be side-tracked for the present session.

With members of the House and Senate pressing strongly for an early adjournment, the Democratic leaders were hard at work today to stem the tide and to get as much legislation through as possible before the session ended. In an effort to compromise the de- mands for further legislation on the one hand and for early adjournment | on the other Majority Leader Barkley threatened to lengthen the daily Sen- ate sessions. He hinted that if the wage and hour bill was not passed today, he would call the Senate into session at 11 am. tomorrow, instead of noon. He already has been holding the ses- sions later in the afternoon than usual.

Roosevelt Revises Rules That Govern Press Conferences By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt redefined yes- terday the rules governing publication of his remarks at press conferences. Basically, he retained the four cate- gories of treatment that have been in effect since he entered the White House. But he revised their defini- tions to prevent what he termed any mifunderstanding by interviewers. The new categories: 1. Background: Remarks which can be attributed to the President without direct quotation. 2. Direct quotation: Presidential re- marks may be printed within quota- tion marks when specifically author- ized. 3. Information not to be attributed to the President: Mr. Roosevelt said this treatment rarely would be re- quired, but that when it is the in- formation can be attributed neither to him nor the White House. 4. Off the record: Information that must be kept confidential and not published in any manner. Correspondents had requested a new definition of “background” because of some confusion as to its meaning.
