PICKET SLAIN
IN BATTLE WITH
EUREKA POLICE
(Continued from page 1)
ably by police.
Two of the wounded, Harold Ed
lund and Paul Lampella, pickets,
were near death In local hospitals.
Both were shot.
Less seriously hurt were:
Ole Nelson, a striker, shot.
Eugene Miller, picket, shot.
John Smith, picket, gassed and
Injured In the fighting.
J. Kinnare, picket, gassed and in
jured by flying rocks.
Police Chief George Llttlefleld of
Eureka, severely beaten about the
head.
Police Captain Tom Butledge,
head Injuries.
Traffic Officer William French,
head injuries and bruises.
Patrolman Peter Carroll, beaten.
Many other officers and strikers
suffered slightly from tear gas fired
from police guns or were cut and
bruised by flying fists and missiles.
Authorities believed they had ap
prehended the ringleaders of the
rioters in the group held In the
Eureka jail.
None of the injured policemen
were confined to hospitals.
Chief Llttlefleld and his aides, al
though beaten severely, continued
the work of rounding up the rioters,
some of whom they suspected were
"transported" into the northern
California lumber regions from the
. northwest In an effort to precipi
tate a strike In sympathy with the
walkout of Washington and Oregon
lumber workers.
Efforts of strike organizers, thus
far virtually unnoticed In the Eure.
ka industry, will be confronted with
further obstacles, it appeared.
Shortly after the riot, Mayor
Frank R. Sweasey Issued a procl&'
matton calling upon citizens to Join
in suppressing strike agitation and
further disorder. He appointed 26
additional special police to augment
battered city forces.
The riot was touched off, police
said, when a group of pickets halted
the automobile of Hames O'Neill,
special company officer, as he drove
to the plant to relieve the night
watchman. The picket had gath
ered, blocking the Redwood highway,
to harangue workers as they enter
ed the Holmes plant. The plant has
been operating at capacity.
O'Neill eluded alleged efforts of
the strikers to pull him from his car,
and wheeling about, drove to Eure
ka, where he notified police of the
incident.
Hastily summoning about 25 dep
uties, Llttlefleld rushed to the mill.
The police approach was greeted
with jeers and a barrage of rocks
and other missiles, officers said.
The fighting became furious. Pc
lice fired tear gas then opened fire
with their revolvers.
Llttlefleld was knocked unconsci
ous during the battle. He lay in the
roadway until the mob was dispersed
and fellow officers picked him up.
He regained consciousness later and
continued directing police cleanup
of the rioters.
Although minor disorders have
marked previous agitation in this
district, today's riot brought the first
fatality of the strike gripping the
great logging operations and saw
mills of the Pacific northwest.
Officials estimated only three or
four percent of the region's 4000 to
5000 timber workers had responded
to agitation for a sympathy strike.

GUILD ATTACKS
LABOR MEASURE
Washington, June 21 (VP) The
American newspaper guild today
opened a fight on a house amend
ment to the Wagner labor relations
bill. The amendment declares that
nothing In the bill shall be con
strued to Interfere with freedom of
the press as guaranteed under the
first amendment to the conslttution.
President Hcywood Broun and
Vice President Robert M. Buck of
the guild Issued a statement In
which they said:
"If this amendment means only
what it seems to say, It is silly to
have It In the bill. But It does not,
It is an old acquaintance that has
bobbed up at every turn since edi
torlal workers organized the guild.
The publishers had It attached to
the newspaper code to render that
document innocuous. Their purpose
In tacking It on the Wagner bill Is
to deprive newspaper employes of
the benefits and protection of that
measure."

and taken action where It was Jus-tlfied.
Asserting Mitchell had refused to
act on business put before him to
handle, he added:
I deeply regret that he did not
appreciate the objectives Involved
but was willing to wreck the public
service through charges based chief
ly on rumors and suspicions."
Mitchell was dismissed from his
post by President Roosevelt a few
days after refusing to resign. He
had just concluded three days ol
testimony before the committee.
which was called to Investigate his
charges, when the secretary was
given an opportunity to answer him.
Roper denied President Roosevelt
had anything to do with the retire
ment from service of the United
States liner Leviathan, shipping
board permission for which was said
by Mitchell to have resulted in a
government "gift" of $1,725,000 to
the United States line. The secre
tary said this action was taken be
cause fears were felt for its safety
and because the company had
agreed to put a new ship Into service.
"The president did not initiate my
action in laying up the Leviathan,"
he declared.
The cabinet member denied also
that "outside influences" were re
sponsible for Mitchell's removal. In
stead, he said, repeated complaints
of Mitchell's "Inactivity" impelled
him to obtain a better qualified
man as assistant secretary.
Roper recalled that he entered an
agreement with the International
Mercantile Marine, owner of the
the United States lines, to retire
the ship from service with an agree
ment today to pay the government
$500,000 in penalties, and at the
same time agree to put another new
ship Into the merchant marine In
line with the policy of building up
this service."
Replying directly to Mitchell's
charges that the president had mo
tivated the laying up of the steam
ship LeviatliHii because of his
friendship for officials of the Unit
ed States lines including Kermit
Roosevelt, Vincent Astor, and oth
ers. Roper declared the president
"did not initiate my action In lay
ing up the Leviathan."
He said he had agreed to hear
Mitchell's charges in September,
1934 and expected him to submit
them in detail.
"After months had passed with
out my getting the memoranda ex
pected," Roper satd, "I urged that
he submit his report, which he gave
me In dribbles."
