RIVALRY' BETWEEN METAL •MINING I \IONS FLARES SUNDAY FIRING FROM mo OFFICE Smoke Bombs Hurled Into Building. Sheriff Finds Office Dracrtcd After Trouble Subsides. GALENA. Kan . April 12.- Nine members of r, separate metal mining union were shot and seriously wounded Sunday as rivalry between their organization and a union backed by the Committee for Industrial Organization flamed into armed conflict in the lead artd zinc fields. A spray of gunfire burst from a C. I. O. office on which a march was being tttade by members of the TriState Metal and Smelter Workers’ Union brandishing pick handles. Smoke bombs were hurled into the C. I. O. office which is headquarters for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. ■ The Tri-State Union, also called the "Blue Cards,” for the members’ 1 bright blue credentials, has been the object of disputed charges that it is irt effect a company uttion. It is not affiliated with arty national labor organization. The trouble in this border town of 55,000 arose after the Tri-State Union members gathered by tire hundreds at Picher, Okla., to oppose an announced C. I. (). mass meeting. They found no such gathering in progress but heard reports it irad been transferred here. About 2.000 bearing pick handles or other clubs, congregated at Picher, lining routes to the C. I. O. headquarters there. They wrecked the interior of the Piclter C. I. O. office and many of their number proceeded
here.
The number of men in the Galena C. 1. O. headquarters was not determined. As the marching “blue card” colunrn approached within range the gunfire broke out until a space In front of the downtown store building occupied by tire C. I. O. was cleared. Behind barricades in the store the occupants refused to identify themselves or to answer demands that
they come out.
Fire came from at least one shotgun and one or more weapons shooting a ball. Some of the' wounded, taken to Joplin, Mo., seven miles away, and Picher, about twenty-five miles away, had shotgun pellet wounds and others had been struck by bullets from either pistol or rifle. Early last night the “Blue Card" forces disbanded, after several hundred had congregated about their own headquarters here roT iimrc than an hour and most of the group re-
turned to Picher.
Shortly afterward Sheriff Fred Simkin of Cherokee County, called here from Columbus by the disturbance, entered the C. I. O. office alter his calls elicited no answer from it and found the place deserted The sheriff relumed to Columbus, leaving the situation here in the hands of city authorities. He indi- , a te . he expected no further trouble The injured were taken to hospitals in Joplin, Mo., just across the state
line.
Word of the gunfight at reached the Blue Card men who
mained in Picher and approximately 150 of them loaded onto trucks anil sped toward Galena, less than twen-ty-five miles away. They were armed with pick handles, but bystanders
said they saw no firearms
party.
Reports that some of the
party of tri-state men to march on the C. 1. O. hcadquarers here carried

CITY'S GAS MONEY Run ( kD Mayor Chas. F. Zeis has received information that the share of Greencastle city in tfte gasoline tax fund of the state, in 1958, will bn only about $2,800, a reduction of almost half from the amount to bo received tlrs , year, whic.i will be $5,200 This vut in the city's share is due to the operation of a new state statute, which lowers the citys’ part all over th; state. In cities, the money is spent on the maintenance of streets, and in the past it lias effected a noticeable reduction in the annual budget, but this cut in tne amount of gas taxes coming from the state may result in an increase in the city's tax levy.

Monday morning, following the recent cessation of work pending an understanding in regard to the personnel of the men employed by Dr. W it. Hutcheson to elect the building The men who are now at work arc the same that started the project There is not a general contractor, but Fred Allen is in charge of the carpenter work, and Clyde Cash of the excava-
tioi\
Other phases of the work will be carried on by men who were employed for that purpose from the start. No further difficulty as expected as regards the labor question, inasmuch as most of the men on the skilled labor jobs are already members of unions and have been for many year.*. It is the expectation of Dr. Hutcheson to have the structure ready for occupancy early this coining autumn.
British Stud\ Spains Wtion TERM BLOCKADE OK BILBOA AS A “SPECIAL"
SITUATION
LONDON. April 12 (UP) Great Brittain, foreseeing danger of international explosion, has decided temporarily to treat the Spanish Nationalist blockade of Bilbao as a “special situation,” it was understood today A statement was promised on the situation this afternoon in the House of Commons after further consideration of the British position. For the present, however, five British freighters at SI. Jean de I.uz on their way to Bilbao with food have been advised by the admiralty to remain at anchor pending a defi-
nite decision.
The 42.000 ton battle cruiser Hood, a floating fortress almost approximating the tonnage of the entire Nationalist fleet, steamed slowly off Puntu Agelea, at the east side of Bilbao Bay as a remindor of the Na lionalists of Britain's naval might. But for the presenl at least Its orders were to protect British shipping outside the three-mile limit of Spanish territorial waters only. Emergency dispatch of the Hood to Bilbao waters from Gibraltar, and an emergency meeting of the full
Galena Cabinet here Sunday, made it evident ,. 0 . that matters of great moment were
impending, and seemed to point to a steel-like attitude on the freedom
of tho sens.
