FIVE KILLED IN COTTON FIELDS Striking Cotton Pickers, Ranch Owners Rattle In California Fresno, Cal., Oct. 11—(U.R)—Fusillades of guntire which killed five workers in dashes between striking cotton pickers and angry ranch .owners left the central California cotton district a smouldering volcano of unrest and hatred today. More violence was feared. Three Mexican laborers were killed in a battle between farmer- , vigilantes an<l strikers at Pixley. Tulare county. Two men were slain in another outbreak at Arvin, Kern county. At least 20 persons were wounded. The deaths climaxed tense days .during which harassed ranchers, watching the 591.U00.000 cotton crop rot in the fields, rejected state mediation and formed "vigilante i committees’’ to drive strikers from I the fields. The vigilantes were blamed for (the shootings at Pixley. Several hundred strikers gathered there to protest the arrests of 17 of their number, held for alleged illegal picketing. During the meeting 1 automobiles carrying armed ranchicrs entered the town. “It all started when one of the farmers took a shot at some one in our crowd,’’ Billy Thomas, a striker, said. "Then there was a volley of • shots. It was soon over. When I the growers and the strikers saw the bodies and realized what happened most of them ran away. Three of us were dead.” ■ The victims were Delfino DabIlia. 55. and Filipe Estrada, 45, both iof Tulare, and Delores Hernandez, 50, Tipton. A woman was among those wounded. Wholesale murder warrants were issued by Tulare authorities after the battle. A striker was blamed for preci--1 pitaitng the Arvin clash. Deputy j Sheriff T. J. Carter said a "sniper lin a tree" fired at him when a igroifp of officials went to a ranch to prevent interference with the i harvest. Peter Subia. Mexican laborer. was killed. An unidentified negro also was slain. Alonzo Andrews. 27, striker, was arrested and l charged with killing Subia. o CREAMERY HEAD SPEAKS TO CLUB (CONTINUED FROM PAGE jNE>_ ' Thoke of the Hydrox company of I Chicago, director of production for j Zone 10 of National Dairies.

Gov. Paul V. McNutt told I the Rotary club here yesterday. In 1931 the 29-cent rate on the state's pioperty valuation of $5.161.000.1t00 (B) raised, including i poll tax. $8,381,722. Next year the Untiled 15-cent rate on the evaluation of $3,500,000.000 (Bt will bring in along witli poll tax an estimated $1,975.- ; 000. “Those dwindling funds must lie made up from the excise, in- ' angibles and gross income taxes” McNutt declared. Although the state’s unemploy- ' men: situation is less acute than 'that in any state in the midwest i federal relief area, local relief agencies must be supported as | much as ever, he said.

Japanese View (Copyright 1933. by United Press) Tokio, Oct. 11— (U.R) —RussianJapanese relations, embittered for many months, approached an open break today over charges that Japanese officials conspired to seize the Chinese eastern railway. Thoroughly angered by Russian charges, made public Sunday, the I government ordered a complete report from Ambassador TamekiI chi Ota and summoned the correspondent of the official Russian news agency, Tass, to demand an ; explanation why he gave copies of the charges to Tokio newspapers. On the government's view of Ambassador Ota’s report, it was I said officially, depends whether a

ONE BLUE EAGLE IS TAKEN AWAY Johnson Orders Gary Restaurant Man To Turn In Eagle Washington, Oct. 11. — (U.R) A major offensive against violators of NR A agreements opened ns the recovery administration began to make good on Its oft-repeat-ed threats to take Blue Eagles away from "chiselers.” Administrator Hugh S. Johnson summarily ordered Theodore G. Rahutls, Gary, Ind., restaurant owner to turn in lilj eagle because of I alleged persistent violations of his reemployment agreement. Johnson repeatedly has warned violators, but this was his first direct action. He said that "almost at once" Blue Eagles would be taken away from violators of agreements In (other cities. In another move against “chise | lers" the NRA prepared orders for public hearings of complaints that | some firms operating under the taxtile code have boosted prices unjustifiably. Hundreds of complaints have' been received against Blue Eagle ! merchants, but the NRA said local 1 compliance boards have found most | of them to be due to misunder-' standing. In the Gary case. John-1 son said every one of the restaurant’s 40 employes had filed com-' plaints, and the compliance board had made repeated and futile ef-| forts to adjust the situation. The NRA announcement said that employes who appeared before I the Gary compliance board "or fil-1 | t*d written complaints asserted I that waitresses are being paid $s I for a work weok of from 60 to 70 ' hours; that curb waitresses were: | required to work for 48 hours or' [ more a week at the rate of $3 a i week and such tips as they recelv-. ed frfim patrons; a soda clerk complained that he receives only $10; for an 80-hour work week." The order withdrawing the Blue | Eagle was issued as Johnson ex- j pressed belief that criticism of the NRA’s slowness in acting against | chiseling was justified. "But the point has never for one moment been overlooked," he said. : explaining that it had required i some time to perfect an organiza-1 | tion which could act with justice [ j and certainty. "The result will shortly be forth-1 coming. The temporary axlvant-' ‘ age that real chiselers may obtain' I will prove a costly experiment. The ' whole power of government is be- ; hind the Blue Eagle. “It is the symbol of the cooper- j ation of a whole people and I can i I assure all these honest employers I 'who have displayed it that they I l will be protected to tlie limit.” Fights Order Gary, Ind., Oct. 11— (U.R) —The ;
