REBEL TROOPS I PREPARING TO OCCUPY BILBAO New Assault On Madrid Likely Next Move In Spanish War By Webb Miller, (Copyright 1937 by UP.) Nationalist Field Headquarters, Outside Bilbao, June 15. — (U.R) — Jubilant nationalist troops massed in thousands along the roads leading into the suburbs of Bilbao today, ready to consolidate their greatest victory since the insurgents reached the gates of Madrid more than seven months ago. Actual occupation of the basque capital apparently awaited only the decision of the nationalist high command —in a matter of hours by direct assault or a matter of days by pressure that would force the demoralized basque loyalists westward on Santander, 40 miles away along the Bay of Biscay coast. It seemed evident that Gen. Francisco Franco, the nationalist commander in-chief, would prefer to fofee evacuation in order to preserve the historic city from entire ruin that has overtaken so; many of Spain's beautiful cities in this civil war. Their capture of Bilbao already discounted, the nationalists looked forward to a leisurely pursuit of the loyalists toward the west and the release of tens of thousands of men —flushed with victory —tor a new and terrible assault on Madrid, the national capital. We now are on the heights overlooking the suburbs of Bilbao. From the north, the northeast, the east and the southeast the nationalists have moved inward along all roads, slowing their pace only to match that of the men mopping up the hills between to make sure that no loyalist units of moment are left with arms to ambush the aifrancing forces. All the little suburban towns (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO) NATIONAL FLAG DAY OBSERVED Legion And Elks Hold Joint Flag Day Services Monday Evening Flag Day was fittingly observed in this city Monday evening, with services conducted jointly by Adams post number 43 of the American Legion and the Decatur chapter of the B. P. O. Elks, held on the lawn of the Elks home. Clifton E. Striker, superintendent oi tne Adams county schools, delivered the Flag Day oration. The speaker took as his theme the part every citizen of the United States plays in relation to the flag. Pointing out the fact that every citizen is a flag maker, Mr. Striker stressed the feeling of reverence and pride every person has when the flag is flown, particularI ly if it happens to be in a foreign j country. The program opened witli the Star Spangled Banner, played by the Decatur high school band, under the direction of Albert Selleraeyer. Members of the Elks lodge then held ritualistic ceremonies, including the recitation of the history of the TTJfe. Following the altar ceremony, during which the floral bell of liberty was erected, Mr. Striker delivered his address. The ceremony closed with the i band playing America. The band paraded from the Legion home to the Elks home, led by the color guard of Adams post and, the Legion auxiliary. The ceremonies were attended by a large crowd.

RULES FOREMAN I STAY IN JAIL Defense Loses Move To Free Convicted Bandit On Bond Elver Foreman will remain in the Adams county jail until September — this was the ruling of Special Judge Hanson Mills this morning, after a heated session in j the library rooms of the Adams circuit court rooms. Foreman, tall, professional-look-ing Fort Wayne WPA worker and auto mechanic, who last week was sentenced by Judge Mills to serve 10 years iu the Indiana state reformatory when convicted on a charge of robbing Amanda Ayers of Blue Creek township, was represented at the special session by former judge David Smith, his defense counsel. Arthur E. Voglewede. Adams county prosecutor, represented the state during the meeting called to determine whether Foreman should be at liberty under bond, should remain iu the jail, or start ! serving his 10-year sentence. In explanation of the law. it is said that a convicted man can be i released on the furnishing of an ' appeal bond, if the filing of the i motion for a new trial has been 1 heard. Since the motion was not filed until the last day of thApril term of court, the hearing was set for the September term. It is understood that defense conn sei did not wish to hold the hearing on the same day, as it would ! not give them time to prepare. An appeal bond of $2,500 has j been fixed by Judge Mills. The 1 state, however, contended that I Foreman could not be released under the bond .according to law. Meanwhile, Foreman, silent and reticent in his Adams county jail cell, talks but little about the case, retaining the same composure he displayed during the trial, i Mrs. Foreman and the convicted man’s mother sat in the courtroom i today to await the ruling the (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) DECATUR LADS TO BOYS STATE Two Decatur Youths To Attend Camp Featuring Citizenship Two Decatur high school lads will attend the Hoosier Boys’ State, (sponsored by the American Legion ' department of (Indiana, together ! with other civic an<( patriotic minded organizations, to be held at Indianapolis, June 26 to July 3, inclusive. The Decatur youths who will attend the camp are John McConnell, Ison of Mr. and Mrs. Joe McConnell, and Edwin Eichorn, son of Dr. and Mrs. G. F. Eichorn. Adams post number 43 of the American Legion and the Decatur chapter of the B P. O- Elks are sponsoring the attendance of the local lads at the camp. Purpose of the Hoosier Boys i State is better to acquaint the youth of Indiana with the duties and responsibilities of citizenship.

Governor Davey Holds Another Conference In Effort To Halt| Strikes In Steel Industries

Senator Wagner Defends Labor Relations Act; Says Steel Companies In Bad Faith. CONTINUE PROBE Washington, June 15— (U.R) — Sen. Robert F. Wagner. I).. N. Y., , defended his national labor relations act today by charging that steel companies which have refused to sign written contracts witli the committee for industrial org ■ anization were not acting in good faith. The Wagner act was termed by its author and its supporters it I the time of its passage as a means of bringing about industrial peace. Wagner today asserted (hat employers and employes who agree jiu collective bargaining should sign a contract. Wagner explained that while i the act did not necessarily compel ! signed contracts, it stipulated that ' employers must negotiate with ! their employes in good faith. “After settling collective bargaining conditions, a contract should be signed." he said. “An employer can not keep such conditions in mind. Why. an agreement such as in a steel company would lie the size of a book. No human being could remember its terms because it would necessarily affect so many classifications of employes. “Therefore it seems obvious to me that when they refuse to sign I -particularly after agreeing to ' terms the way the steel companies : have —they are not bargaining in good faith. Failure to sign neces sarily would make such an agreement unenforceable and subject to constant dispute.

“While the law does not compel 1 agreements, refusal to sign in al- | most any instance shows bad faith, i I believe.” Criticizes C. I. O. Washington. June 15 — (U.R) — I Rep. Clare E. Hoffman, R„ Mich., asserted today that committee for '! industrial organization demands i that steel companies sign written ! contracts are “absurd” because * | the C. I. O. lias no “legal entity." Hoffman, who represents a dls- ! trict in a state which lias been | torn by repeated labor controverI sies during the last year, often has i criticized the C. I O. in its efforts '! to unionize the automobile and . steel industries. After an inspection tour through ; strike-ridden sections of Michigan, he offered yesterday to lead a force of “well-armed” and “reliI aide” citizens to the aid of ' \ authorities in Monroe.

DROP CHARGES ! AGAINST MAYOR Charges Against Terre Haute Mayor And Wife Dismissed Terre Haute, Ind., June 15 — (U.R, - Prosecutor Leonard Kincaid today dismissed an indictment against Mayor Sam Beecher and ills wife, Katherine, who is city controller, in which they had been charged with misfeasance and malfeasance in office. At a hearing last May 22. Judge John W. Gerdink in circuit court sustained a motion by Beecher to quash the indictment. The court told Kincaid al that time he could either resubmit the ease to the present grand jury or bring Beecher and his wife to trial by affidavit. Kincaid decided today, however. to drop the case and so advised Judge Gerdink. The indictment against Beecher and his wife, returned July 17, 1936, contained four counts. These alleged that Beedher placed Noble Wilson, an assistant cemetery superintendent, on the city payroll and that Mrs. Beecher cashed his SIOO a month checks; that Frank Whalen was placed on the city payroll by Beecher when the mayor campaigned for governor a year ago and his duties consisted of folding the mayor's cam- , palgn literature; that Charles C.

Chamber of Commerce, today opposed before the house and senate labor committees enactment of the Administration’s wages and hours bill. Davis’ views were challenged bv Sidney Hillman, piesident of the •Amalgamated Clothing workers union, who urged that the measure be approvedDavis took issue with claims that any emergency justifies the bill. Davis asserted that the measure was “extraordinary in character" and could be justified only by an emergency. “I know of no such emergency" he said. "1 am not able to discover in our membership knowledge of such an emergency, and I have not learned of any other source from which information can be obtained. “On the contrary, the emergency ' which we had has been passing. All of us, I know, have been looking forward to the time when wo shall have it well behind us. “A committee of the Chamber which for a good part of last year studied employment with the assistance of more than two hundred i member organizations reached a . conclusion early last winter that i unemployment measured in any > realistic sense was less than the figures given popular circulation, and that the time had come to ( concentrate on training men and , women for employment so that they ■ could advance beyond the class of I common laborer.” Davis asserted that the Chamber never had opposed any child labor legislation and said he did not ap-

Fear Expressed Violence May Follow If Efforts To Stop - Strike Fail; New Clashes. IN CONFERENCE Washington, June 15 —(UP) —The Republic Steel Corporation today filed s*ilt in the U. S. district court of the District of Columbia asking for a writ of mandamus directing postmaster general James A. Farley to order deliveries of food and supplies delivered to workers in the corporation’s! struck plants. Columbus. 0., June 15 4U.R>— Gov. Martin L. Davey sat down with steel officials and strike leaders again today in an eleventhhour attempt to end violence and threats of greater violence in the C. I. O drive to win union contracts for workers in four great independent companies. Even as the conferees got away to a belated start at the governor's mansion, the slim hope of an Immediate settlement was shaken by dynamiting of a railroad and new clashes that intensified labor strike on the seven-stata strike battlefield. Davey Immediately offered the fundamental issue as to whether the companies would sign a union contract be submitted to the nr. tlonal labor relations board fotdecision. He urged both sides to enter an immediate agreement to end the strike on the basis of six points of his previous proposal, with the final point regarding the signing of a contract to be left to the board. The steel companies involved in the strike are Republic, Youngstown Sheet A Tube. Inland and Bethlehem, but only Republic nnd Sheet and Tube were represented at the Davey conference. The Davey conference was viewed as the key to efforts toward peace iu the steel conflict. Should it fail, fears were expressed that efforts of non-strikers to return to work, concentration of special company police, formation of vigilante forces and re-doubling of picket lines in steel centers would lead to a violent climax. Developments that threatened to push the conflict toward a showdown included: Dynamiting of n section of Pennsylvania railroad track near the Niles and Warren. Ohio, plants of the Republic Steel Corp., which have been operating despite picket lines. Shipment of 35 freight car loads of products out of the Warren plant despite siren: thening of picket lines l>y arrival of coal miners and steel workers from Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It was almost the first shipment out of the besieged plants since the strike began 20 days ago.
