No. 54 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, NOV. 28, 1937 PRICE FIVE CENTS FordAttorney, CIO Officials Fear Violence Strike Of UAW Against Ford's St. Lois Branch Causes Grave Situation Union Asks Senate To Send Observer ST. LOUIS, Nov. 27.-(P)-Fear of violence in the United Automobile Workers' strike against the Ford Mo- tor Company was voiced today by an attorney for the company and by representatives of the CIO union. Dan Bartlett, lawyer for Ford, told Circuit Judge Robert J. Kirkwood bloodshed was likely if the court did not issue an injunction to restrain mass picketing at the St. Louis as- sembly plant. The judge, however, declined to take immediate action. Ask 'Impartial Observer' At the request of strike leaders, Richard Frankensteen, UAWA inter- national vice-president at Detroit, telegraphed the Senate Civil Liberties Committee and asked that an "im- partial observer" be'sent to St. Louis. Absence of committee members held up action on the request in Wash- ington. Delmond Garst, regional director for the CIO affiliate, said he had in- formed Frankensteen, that violence was possible "because they (Ford) have brought in so many people that we can expect anything, not neces- sarily at the plant but at the homes of our members." The union called the.strike Wed- nesday after charging the company refused to bargain collectively, dis- criminated against union members, forced employes to sign "loyalty pledges," and fostered a company union. The Ford injunction suit, filed the day the strike was called, charged 29 individual defendants with conspir- acy to interfere with and damage the company's business. It contended they were responsible for mass picket- ing at the plant and "intimidation" of Ford employes. Pt Have Control Judge Kirkwood, in postponing a hearing on the suit until next Fr day, because all defendants had not been served, commented that police were in charge of the situation. "You attorneys," he told Bartlett' "come into court perspiring and de- manding action, but my experience is that these labor troubles quiet down." The plant, which operated Wednes- day and again Friday after the inter- vening Thanksgiving holiday, was closed today and will be shut down again tomorrow. Milton N. Johnson, the manager, has said operations would be resumed Monday. William Kimberling, prsident of the UAWA's Ford local, aid mass picketing would be resumed Monday. Members of sympathetic CIO unions have been prominent on the picket lines. CIO Seeks Safe Peace WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-()- John Brophy, director of the Com- mittee for Industrial Organization, told a national unitydconference of furniture workers today that 010 would not accept a peace with the American Federation of Labor "that means death." "Any peace we make," said Brophy, "must be made between equals, and must provide protection for the 4,- 000,000 workers now enrolled in the CIO." Conferences between representa- tives of the two rival labor organiza- tions in an effort to bring about unity in the ranks of labor will be resumed in Washington on Monday.

State's New Prison System May Serve As Model, Prof. Wood Says Pucksters Nip Ontario Team i Here Tomorrow Chinese Asserts Nippon Boycott Would Succeed New Department Places State Penal System In Single Administration By ROBERT MITCHELL The Department of Correction, or- ganized by the Michigan legislature in its last session, will revise the penal system of the State and may serve as a model for such reform in other states, Prof. Arthur E. 'Wood of the sociology department, research ad- viser of the new department, said yesterday. The new department puts the en- tire state penal system under one administrative set-up, coordinating the fields of prison management, pro- bation and parole. It provides a sci- entific staff for each of these fields and centralizes them under a central board which can supervise work being done and establish a long-term policy for the whole penal field. It opens the way for more adequate facilities for field work in probation and pa- role. The department was established to clean up the old situation in the fields of prison management and the administration of paroles and proba- tions. These had for years been largely political and full of ineffi- ciency, Professor Wood said, with the leaders changing with .every change in party power. The result was in- efficiency in the administration of probations and a lack of a continuous, well-planned system of management of prisons. In the fall of last year Governor Murphy established a penal commis- sion to set up a program for reform. Prof. Burke Shartel of the Law School' and Professor Wood were appointed from the University, while Caroline Parker of Detroit was made chair-' man. Messrs. Fred Johnson, Thomas Koefgen, former prison commissioner,i and Hilmer Gallein, present head of the corrections department, were on the board. This commission planned the pres- ent department, and its bill was passed with little amendment at theI last session of the Legislature. Gal-i lein was appointed to head the new department, and Professor Wood was made research adviser. New officials, including new prison wardens, have been appointed by the Governor throughout the system. So far the system has shown great promise, Professor Wood declared. The Civil Service has brought the merit system to the prisons, and there has been a reorganization of the sta- tistical and prisoner classification departments. Facilities for psychi- atric and social service have been established, and the organization of the field branches of the probation system have been developed. The outlook, he said, is the best in the past 20 years. Civil service will be a big factor in making the new set-up a success, Professor Wood explained, because the department has been designed under the view that penal adminis- tration is of vital importance to com- bating crime. Appointments by merit are expected to help place efficient, well-trained men in charge of this part of the system. In First Game Spike James And 'Smack' Allen Turn In Stellar Performances In Rink Packed House Sees Stirring 3-0 Victory' By IRVIN LISAGORk (Daily Spoxts Editor) Michigan's scrappy hockey six pried the winter sports season open last' night at -the Coliseum by handily trimming the University of Western Ontario, 3 to 0, but the story of the affair lay in the uncovering of several recruits who promise to make Coach Eddie Lowrey's contingent in- teresting, as well as successful, this season. Veteran Gib James, of course, sparked the Wolverine attack by scor- ing two goals, John Fabello played his usual steady, resourceful game at the other wing and the senior defense pair bumped and checked most of the! Canadians' serious threats. Young James Shines But it was Eldon (Spike) James, Gib's kid brother in the nets, and Ed- win (Smack) Allen, burly center, who in their initial collegiate effort -comported themselves like experi-I enced puckmen and constantly drew the plaudits of the capacity crowd. Impressive, too, was the second line which featured two other rook- ies, Everett Doran, center, and Les Hillberg, wingman, who teamed with Ed Chase to offer succulent relief to the regular forwards. Doran dis- played a measure of brilliance as he slapped home the first goal of the evening.

Such a boycott as Dr. Chien en- visaged would include not only the basic silk trade but "non-intercourse" in other commodities which could be used either for war or ordinary trade. Dr. Chien, who will make another address before the Liberal Students Union at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Unitarian Church, is visiting in the United States, having come from China only a short time ago. For the greater part of his talk Dr. Chien, a student in the Univer- sity Summer Session in 1920. con- fined himself to an exposition of the origin of the present war in the Far East. "The origin of the war dates far back," he said, "and has its root in the fundamentalacharacter of the Japanese. They have always been an expanding and warlike people."
