the union would ask the company 5 for collective bargaining rights. Dernoncourt ordered a "pep meetling” for C. I. O. sympathizers demands for a written agreement also were to be discussed. A "worker’s committee,” headed by D. H. Prestiey, ordered the third ? meeting to take a secret ballot on ! whether or not to return to work. Dr. B. C. Carpener, former minister. ■ was to act as impartial judge. , ' Dernoncourt urged C. I. O. mem- ’ bers to refrain from attending the ‘ latter meeting. President Headcock said prior to ■ the peace conference today that he ' would not budge from his earlier re- * fusal to sign a contract with the i amalgamated association of iron, steel and tin workers of America C. I. O. affiliate and would continue 1 company policy of dealing "with any individual or group of individuals in our employe.’’ He said the company would not I evict sit-down strikers. I C. I- O. officials, it was understood today, had receded from earlier closed shop demands and were asking only a written agreement. Today’s meetings were the first sign of a defininte split between I C. I. O. and A. F. O. L. union members in Peoria- The local A. F. O. L. refused to follow orders of suspension from William Green and both groups have used the same meeting hall. Unofficial estimates placed A. F. ’ O. L. membership among company, employes at approximately 300. Most of them were machinists, it 1 i was said. o W. R.

FARMERS EVICT PLANT STRIKERS Farmers Battle Strikers In Hershey Chocolate Plant - Hershey, Pa., Apr. B.—<U.R>— The i Hershey Chocolate corporation re- ' surned purchasing milk today from ’ the farmers who evicted 300 sit-! down strikers from the factory in a battle yesterday. Company officials said the plant would be reopened WTitin a few days. Several thousand farmers, arous ed because the strike had cut off a market for SIO,OOO worth of milk i daily, marched on the plant yesterday afternoon. Armed with bricks, clubs and other weapons, they drove the strikers from the ivy-covered buildings and demanded that the company resume buy ing their product. Governor George H. Earle order- ? ed an investigation to “fix responsibility.” Twenty-five persons were in hospifals. “The bloodshed at the Hershey plant was a disgrace to the commonwealth,” Earle said. William F. R. Murrie, president 1 of the corporation, said full operations probably could not be resumed until Monday. Chocolate has hardened in the . vats and some repairs must be made, it was said. Non-strikers" started cleaning up the plant last night. The floors were littered with broken glass and weapons of

all descriptions. Earle declared in a formal statement : “The bloodshed at the Hershey plant was a disgrace to the comI monwealth. The blame Iles directly on the sheriff of the county, ; who said he did not need the assistII ance of the state police to maintain order. Precedent decrees that I local authorities must ask the state’s assistance before it inter- ' venes. "The state police will not be used to suppress union labor. Neither are they interested in the sit-down problem. They will prevent mob rule. "Apparently the sheriff was not an unbiased law enforcement officer in this case. I have ordered a sweeping investigation to fix the responsibility for this riot. “The state police are at the service of any county in Pennsylvania which requests their help to preserve law and order. Mob rule will not be tolerated during my administration.” John Loy. business manager for the local Nnited Chocolate Workers union, whose injuries placed him in the Hershey community hospital today, said the sit-down strikers were leaving the plant when the farmers attacked them. He said he had ordered the men out after Murrie had promised to resume negotiations. The strike was called a week ago when the union charged the company had violated an agreement. o Agreement Is Reached On Coal Control Bill Washington. Apr. B—(U.PJ- Rep. Fred M. Vinson. D..

Search for Robert Irwin, 29 yearold sculptor wanted for the Beekman Hill triple inuruers, shifted to the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania today. A report which the police believed was authentic placed the former divinity student and insane asylum inmate in Stroudsburg, Pa., late Tuesday afternoon. “I think this is the best informa-1 tlon relative to the whereabouts of Irwin that we have yet receiv- 1 ed.” said assistant chief inspector John A. Lyons, who is directing the search for the fugitive who slipped out of a Manhattan rooming house last Saturday only a feu minutes before the police arrived Irwin was named by the police as the Eastor-eve slayer of Veronica Gedeon, beautiful 20-year-old artists model, her mother, Mrs Mary Gedeon. 54, and Frank Byrnes, a lodger in the Gedeon's Beckman Hill apartment. Veronica and Mrs. Gedeon were strangled, the police believed, liecause they shattered Irwin’s ro-1 mance with Mrs. Gedeon's older daughter. Ethel, who is now Mrs.

' Joseph Kttdner. Byrnes was J , stabbed with an Instrument such j as an Ice pick, merely because he appeared <> nthe scene after the killer had completed his revenge, it was said. Inspector Lyons said that a traveling salesman, who would not reveal his name, reported that he had given a ’lift” Tuesday to a hitchhiker who answered a description of Irwin. The man left the salesman at Stroudsburg, gate-1 way to the Poconos. “In every way this salesman’s description tallied with that of Irwin,” Lyons said. The salesman reported that his | passenger talked for a time of the beautiful scenery and then sudden ; . ly remarked apropos of nothing: "Art Is big and time Is fleeting." Then, abruptly, he said: "The e are just two fundamental interests of man —sex and God — i and God is the stronger.” The salesman thought that statement decidedly queer, but he did not place nearly as much significance in it as did Lyons. The I inspector recalled that Irwin had made similar statements in interviews and in conversation with friends. Indiana Service Names Directors Fort Wayne.
