Violence Threats Disappeared It appeared that threats of violence in Detroit had disappeared

temporarily while police, the union and Chrysler executives waited to

big room of Michigan's capitol. Police raids on sit-down strikers in small plants not connected with the automobile industry had ceased. Last night the union massed almost 100,000 persons in Detroit's Cadillac Square—nerve center of the business district—and no violence occurred. Homer Martin, youthful president of the Automobile Workers’ Union, shouted to the crowd that Henry Ford “might as well get ready to do business” with his organized workers. “Henry Ford need take no consolation,” Mr. Martin said, “from the fact he has suffered no difficulties in the present march of labor.

Severe self - flagellation on bared backs with whips of yucca fiber will accompany the ceremony. The climax of the rites which have been conducted throughout Lent comes with the selection of “El Cristo” by lot, Then a tor«

ECENTLY, however, the strong opposition voiced by churches over the country has tended to soften somewhat the self-torture. It was believed that the practice of nailing El Cristo to the cross was abandoned nearly 50 years ago,

Charles F. Lummis, Penitente authority here, reported that as late as 1897 traitors to the order were buried alive. The recent close check upon missing persons was thought to have discouraged the practice. Some Penitente orders in the area allow visivors to view the ceremonies, Mr. Lummis said. They only tolerate them, and occasional shooting at intruders has been reported. The seal of the order is renewed annually at the Good Friday ceremonies.
