THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, AUG. 2 Republic Steel Guards Broke Monroe Strike Civil Liberties Committee Told Of Assault Made' With Clubs, Tear Gas WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-(P)-The Senate Civil Liberties Committee re- ceived testimony today that volun- teer policemen equipped with tear gas, billies and baseball bats pur- chased by the Republic Steel Corp. dispersed pickets outside the Monroe, Mich., plant of that company. 5 That done, the 1937 strike in "Little Steel" was ended, so far as Monroe was concerned. But prior to that time, witnesses said, a Negro organizer had been severely beaten and run out of town, after fruitless appeals to the police, and supervisors in the plant inspired a group of workers to send ,p telegram protesting the strike to John L. Lewis. The message was giv- en wide publicity. In the weeks following, nervous at reports that CIO men in other cities intended to invade Monroe, James S. Torbic, Republic's police chief there, received "undergover in- formation" from a mysterious "Jack Smith" and ultimately paid him $1,000 lest, he said, the man sue him and the Senate committee learn that such tactics were being used. "As I thought it 'out later," said Torbic, "I think he just plain black- mailed me." The day's evidence was presented by a score of witnesses, rr nging from Monroe's mayor, Daniel Knaggs, who told of his dealings with Republic for the purchase of anti-strike muni- tions, to a group of steel workers, some still employed by -the plant there and others now on WPA.

First proposed by members of the present- day' English group of the Modern Language Association in 1929, the Linguistic Atlas was actually begun in 1931. A staff of trained workers, with the collaboration of Yale and Brown universities and more than 400 informants who volunteered their' time, finally gathered the material which has been analyzed and present- ed in the form of 730 large maps showing regional distribution of vo- cabulary and pronunciation differ- ences throughout New England. This sectional atlas will be published this fall. That the University of Michigan is likely to be the focal point for lin- guistic geography in the Middle West is evidenced by the undertaking which will begin this month. Two investiga- tors trained by Dr. Hans Kurath, director of the New England Atlas, during the Linguistic Institute here in 1936, will take the field in order to .make samplings of southern Michi- gan and Indiana speech. Each will spend about fifteen hours with every informant selected. The informant must be not younger than 70, born of American stock, with not more than a grade-school education, and with a life-long residence in his community. T h e s e informants' answers to the more than 400 ques- tions asked them will tell the investi- gators in what part of this region "spider" is used instead of "frying pan," and "tunnel" is used instead of' "funnel," and what were the names and expressions used for hundreds of objects and foods and activities hard- ly known by the present generation. That many differences will ap- pear in the survey is certain f ;om the circumstances that the region in-3 cludes three different native popula- tion groups. Southern Michigan and, Northern Indiana settlements were due to the Erie canal migration; those of Central Indiana to the move- ment west over the National Trail and up through Ohio;,and those of south- ern Indiana to the swing of southern pioneers up through Kentucky from the Cumberland Gap and across the Ohio river. Educational System Compared To Penal (Continued from Page I) when released outright. Bush said that such cases are often criticized by the public when nothing is known about the facts. Attacks on the parole system are seldom made on the basis of the theory of parole, however, Bush said. The administration of the penal and parole units are the most frequent targets, he stated, although these attacks are not always justified, "I am ready to adimit that at' cer-1 tain times and in certain places, the administration of parole has beenl lax," he said, "because politics havet entered into parole systems and criti- lUVAJ This map shows the route of the Hawaii Clipper, Pan-American Airways 26-ton flying ship, which vanished with 15 men aboard when 565 miles from Manila, Philippine Islands.

Observe Eleventh Annual Visitors' Day IN THIS CORNER by... Mel Fineberg Some Fun, Eh Jake .. . "Hitting niggers with his club" may be a sport when policing in Dayton, Ohio, but Jake Powell is finding out that baseball and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis have a high idea of racial integrity-where the gate re- ceipts are concerned. It seems that the trouble all started when the club-loving Powell admitted in a radio broad- cast that he was slightly prema- ture with his batting practice. From what Powell considered sport- has come repercussions which may evict Mr. Powell from organized baseball. As soon as the good judge heard about the incident, he rose in all his wrath to protect baseball's good name. He suspended the Yankee out- fielder for 10 days because, as the Judge put it, he made "uncompli- mentary remarks about a portion of the population." The Judge's stand seems aw- fully equivocal. Members of the colored race are not allowed in Big League baseball. This itself is paradoxical in our democracy. But since this is baseball tradi- tion and since baseball tradition must be preserved in spite of its opposition to constitutionalism, there seems little that can be said about this phase. But as soon ,as "a portion of the population" has been slandered, the slanderer is punished and every pos- sible balm is prepared to sooth the slandered. It looks as though Negroes aren't good enough to play ball with the great white folks but as long as they have the buck- ten to pay for their seat it's good policy to appease them. It seems as tho 0he box office not liberal- ism and tolerance that is being protected. How's About It.. The solution of course is simple. Let the Negroes play ball. They'd probably show up many of our whit stars just as-they have in track, foot- ball, basketball (except in Big Ten schools) and in other sports they've attempted. Another point of the Judge's policy that might be questioned is Landis' right to dictate player opinion. That Powell's Intoler- ance and narrowness is unde- sirable cannot be denied but that Judge Landis is so wise and Ib-' eral that he can play censor to baseball player's thoughts is an- other thing entirely. Judge Lan- dis represents official baseball thought not individual thought. Unless the Liberty League slipped a law through when I wasn't looking, individual players are entitled 4to beliefs, bigoted and narrow as they may be, just as individual citizens are entitled to theirs. But if the suspension of Powell stands, and it is very likely that this ballplayer may be ostracized from baseball because he was foolish enough to believe it fine sport to beat other people, another precedent will be established. In the future, base- ball players will play Charlie Mc- Carthy to Czar Landis' Bergen. The last time the P.K.S. softball team met the Parkerites in the I-M softball league, Jim Lewis was picked off first base ala Gee (Welovehim) Walker. Lewis was immediately ac- cused by his teammates of selling out to Moscow, Hearst and the Parkerites. With a decided emphasis on the Park- erites. In best Horatio Alger fashion, our hero Lewis decided to spike all evil rumours. Yesterday, in a return game, Lewis struck out Prof. Parker three times which should silence suspecting teammates.
