Road Requests
The Highway Department budget estimate for 1940, totaling $209,-

HOLD SUSPECT IN FATAL FIGHT
Sheriff Says Labor Dispute Killing Is Admitted by Nonunion Worker.
MILLERSBURG, Ind., July 26 (U. P.).—Sheriff Gus Barclay said today that George Felk, 45, a nonunion laborer, had admitted the slaying of John Pilkelton, 35, a union member. Pilkelton was shot and killed yesterday during a battle between union forces and nonunion workers at a bridge construction project. One man was shot in the stomach and six others, all nonunion laborers, received minor wounds from shotgun pellets and beatings during the battle. Sheriff Barclay said Felk told him he shot Pilkelton in self-defense. “I didn't: mean to kill him,” the sheriff quoted Felk. “I was trying to shoot at his legs but I guess I was excited and shot higher.” Fight Lasts 20 Minutes Sheriff Barclay said witnesses told him the battle raged for 20 minutes and that at least 15 union men, the laborers and several bystanders were involved. Shotguns; pistols, rifles and clubs were used. When the fighting waned Pilkel- — ton lay dead and George Hammond, 45, was suffering from a shotgun wound in the stomach. Gerald Scales, 38, a nonunion laborer, suffered a serious head gash. Sheriff. Barclay said Pilkelton and Hammond were employed on a road being built in connection with the bridge. He identified them as members of the Hod Carriers’ and Common Laborers’ Union, Evansville Local 561, an affiliate of the A. F.
of L. ~ Went to Project Last . night he arrested John Soucie, 44, union organizer who was present during the battle, on a charge of rioting, Soucie was released under bond of $500. Sheriff Barclay said ill feeling has been brewing since spring when O. P. Olinger, Huntingburg, Ind. was awarded a contract to build the bridge. He said Mr. Olinger had received warning to hire union members or abandon the job. = Soucie told Coroner William Moser that he .went to the project with 16 men to form a picket line. He said ‘he appealed to Roy Jones, bridge foreman, to use union labor and that while they were talking one of the nonunion started to attack the pickets. Sheriff Barclay said he would hold Felk for Grand Jury action and that he was considering® filing
‘| rioting charges against “about 40
other men.”

British, French Reported Pushing for Soviet ‘Pact
Defense Act Is Invoked by Japanese as Border Fighting Continues.
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor Great Britain ‘and’ France were understood to be ready to send military leaders to Soviet Russia today in a move to offset dangers in Europe and the Far East. Seeking to conclude negotiations
| for Soviet adherence to the new
security front, the British Cabinet was reported to have approved che dispatch of a military mission in order to meet almost every demand raised by Moscow. Only a difficult question of defining indirect aggression in Europe remains to be solved.
Two Factors Behind’ Decision
Two underlying factors prompted the decision to press for conclusion
of the mutual aid pact among the L
three powers: 1. The necessity of Soviet support to make effective the antiaggression front in Europe, and especially in. eastern Europe where diplomatic advices indicated the Danzig prcblem would be revived before the end of August.
:£2; The need for offsetting the
Japanese pressure in China, where general reaction has indicated that Britain suffered loss of prestige in recognizing Japan’s right to protect her own security despite Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's assertions that Britain had not given ground on policy. Although Plime Minister Neville Chamberlain hinted in the House of Commons today that Russia. may have staff talks with a, BritishFrench Army and Navy air force mission ‘if it wants them, he dodged the question of whether an agreement had been reached to send such a mission.
Cautious if Replies
The talks would be preliminary to negotiating a military alliance with Russia. Hugh Dalton, - Laborite, whether it had been agreed to hold the talks, Mr. Chamberlain replied: “We have sent certain instructions to Sir William Seeds: (British Ambassador to Moscow), but have not yet heard the reactions.” Geoffrey Mander, Liberal, asked if the French were sending a military mission to Moscow. Mr. Chamberlain said: “The French and British Governments are acting in close collaboration.”_ .
The Cabinet, however, was re-|.
ported to have approved: the sending of a. mission. The Japanese blockade of the Pearl River at Canton starting today brought the pressure ‘of Tokyo militarists tothe very edge of the great British, city of -Hongkong on the South China coast, and created a situation: which aroused specuia-
tion on the entire question of Brit-|’
ish power in the Orient in the future, But the Japanese victories in China were no comfort to ‘Moscow, which. looks toward the east as well as toward Europe.
Japan Invokes Defense Act
“Thus, by concluding the European tri-power alliance, the position of Britain would be strengthened and
she might be able to give greater| attention tu protection of her in-|
terests in the Far East. And in the same way, Russia's struggle against Japan in the Orient would be less difficylt if European - troubles were quieted. : -The seriousness of the SovietJapanese conflict in Manchukuo was emphasized by action of the Jap-anese-dominated government at Hsinking, which invoked its national defense act in connection
with sporadic . fighting against
Soviet-sponsored forces on the Outer] -
Mongolian border. The Japanese Supreme War Council also met in Tokyo t¢ discuss the frontier situa-1 tion and developments in China. {A military communique from Mos-
cow tonight reported that Japanese| had concentrated large fighting|
