~ ORGANIZERS OF AUTO UNION ATTACKED DURING FLIGHT; PERKINS ASKS NEW POWERS

Missing Official of Group Returns to Safety At Detroit.

By United Press

FLINT, Mich., Jan, 28.— Sheriff’s deputies and Flint police sought today the driver and occupants of an automobile that sideswiped a machine carrying five United Auto Workers organizers,

sending four to the hospital.

Occupants of the wrecked machine were union officials who had fled two Michigan cities in the face of vigorous protests against their attempts to arrange for a union meeting at Saginaw.

Fled When Attacked

Fleeing from Bay City and Saginaw after mobs had attacked them, the organizers were under heavy police escort when an automobile crowded them off the road within the Flint city limits, forcing their machine into a telegraph pole. At the hospital attaches diagnosed the injuries of Anthony Federoff, 35, Pittsburghy as serious. Three other organizers. ‘were not hurt se-

riously and. the driver was not inJured. Meanwhile John Mayo, organizer,

" reported missing after an antiunion

demonstration in Saginaw, returned to Detroit union headquarters today and announced he had successfully evaded antlunion demonstrators by fleeing to Lansing.

Charges to Be Filed

Union officials said that six occupants of the attacking machine were known. Robert Travis, president of the U. A. W. A. local at Flint, said warrants would be sought charging these occupants with assault with attempt to commit murder. The organizers left Flint headquarters yesterday for Saginaw and Bay City. Their objective was organization in the General Motors plants of those cities through a Sunday meeting. This disturbance was the only incident which marred the return of nearly 46,000 men to work in General Motors plants in eight cities under a truce enacted from union, nonunion and civic leaders. Forty thousand workers went back to: their jobs in Chevrolet plants yesterday, and another 5900 were scheduled to take up their posts «in Fisher stamping factories today.

Nonstrikers Get Blame From Murphy

By United Press LANSING. Mich. Jan. 28.—Collapse of negotiations in the General Motors strike today was blamed directly on activities of the Flint Alliance by Governor Frank Murphy. At the conclusion of an hour's

_ audience with a delegation repre-

enting the Flint Alliance, an organion of nonstrikers, he refused to give & “yes” or “no” reply to a demand that he promise protection to nonunion workers who attempt to enter the struck plants to resume work. The Governor insinuated that the Alliance has been guilty of “inflam-

matory” tactics during the strike.

Secretary Requests Right to Force Conferences to Settle Strikes.

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.— Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins today said that she will enlarge her demands for new labor legislation by sending to Congress the draft of a new collective bargaining law “broader than the Wag-

ner act.” Miss Perkins’ announcement was

made after Congressional leaders |-

indicated they had no plans to rush through her proposal for emergency legislation to give the Labor Department subpoena powers. - The subpoena suggestion was sent to Congressional leaders by Miss Perkins after her failure to arrange a face-to-face conference of General Motors officials and John L. Lewis, auto strike leader.

Sends Aid te ,Anderson

Miss Perkins also announced that she would immediately dispatch a special representative of the department to Anderson,-Ind., to investigate an affidavit filed with her by

Lewis charging that the General Motors Corp. had incited violence against striking auto workers in that city. She indicated the bill was designed for broad future action in industrial controversies, but she made it clear that she desired swift enactment’ of the authority to use if the General Motors strike remains deadlocked.

Would Force Parleys

Under the measure, the Secretary of Labor would have power to subpena parties to industrial controversies and force them to attend negotiation conferences. Definite Congressional reaction to

Miss Perkins’ proposal was delayed until legislators had an opportunity to study it. It was advanced in letters to Speaker of the House William B. Bankhead and Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson.

Connery Pledges Aid

Chairman William P. Connery Jr. of the House Labor Committee said he would expedite the proposal and give any help to it he could. Miss Perkins asked that the suggested law give her authority to “make formal inquiries.and investi= gations into the cause of strikes.” Auto union leaders left for Michigan yesterday and today. Before departing, they prepared an affidavit which was sent to Miss Perkins by Lewis. It charged that G. M. C. representatives had “deliberately incited acts of violence and destruction of private and public property” at Anderson, Ind., where it has two plants.

Legislature to Hear Data

On Needs of

Funds for Relief Favored

New Taxes, Federal Government May Ad Rehabilitation; Gross Income Levy Date Extension Hinted; ight Session Inlioated Today.

; “By United Press The Lorilataits was ‘to convene at 2° o'clock ‘this afternoon with re-

ports that it would adjourn: for the

tration was prepared to.estimate the amount of special appropriations necessary to care adequately dor Indiana's flood victims.

An eye-witness’ report was to be Budget Director Edward <Byennan, yesterday.

Governor Townsend ‘has indicatedo—

he will deliver a flpod’ message to the Legislature in person within“’the next few days, presumzb

ing the Administration’s.' estimate 4, of funds necestary to ‘cope with the | -

emergency also’ is. ‘expected to, report on negotiatigns he is conducting with [the Federal Government to split costs of rehabilitation.

Appropriation Approval Seen ;

Conversation among the legislators indicated that they were prepared to approve at, once a special appropriation, separate from the 1937-39 budget, of at least $1,000,000. This is considered nly a fraction of what the actual flood damage will total. Several indicated that they would favor a $5,000,000 appropriation with all funds above that amount to be raised by “nuisance” taxes, such as an excise on cigarets, theater tickets and other | comparative luxuries. However, in view, of Governor Townsend's repeated assertions that the emergency period for disease control, repair of sanitation facilities and re-establishment of normal living conditions, the Legislature may adjourn for the week-end after a perfunctory session today. This would give State agencies several more days to supply information and recommendations on legislative action. .

Tax Date Extension Seen

Included in this actfon, Mr. Townsend has indicated, will be at least 30 days respite for income taxpayers to ease the Jan. 31 deadline. There may be several new bills introduced late today concerning measures for flood control, but with the overwhelming Dgmocratic majority in botH houses, 1t appears cer tain that no flood relief or emergency legislation will be enacted without Governor Townsend’s guidance and consent. New measures are to be held to a minimum in view of the flood emergency, and it is considered probable that - unimportant legislative proposals wili be held t8 a minimum, as desired by Govergor Townsend:

The session today Was to be the |

Legislature's first since Monday when the members agjourned after a brief routine sessi to -consider the flood ‘crisis.

- That’s one good thing about the Parent - Teachers’ Association. You kinda knit a closer understandin’ between the child -and the teacher and the parents. It gives the: teacher more of a leeway to

"discuss the child’s _problems with

the parents. Not long ago, down home, a teacher called on my Uncle Fud

and he says, “I know you will be

very much interested in knowing that your boy, Herby, has not been to school .in the last three or four days. . . .. He's been playing ‘truant.’ - My Uncle Fud says, “Well, now I'm awfully glad you told me about that.” And he turned in the front door and he says to my aunt, he says, “This teacher says that our Herby ain't been to

school in three or four days. . « «-
