McDade testified before the La Follette committee investigating al loged violations of workers' civil lib ertles that three men wero killed In a seven-hour battle at Lake Charles, La., where ho had brought 21 men from New Orleans to serve a guards during a longshoremen's strike. .Special Deputies The guards were sworn In as spec ial deputy sheriffs, he said, and were armed with machine guns and tear gas supplied by Federal Laboratories, Inc.. of Pittsburgh. They were em ployed by the Railway Audit and In spectlon company, an Industrial de tnnrlvA firm, h arirtivl. Two of the guards were kllfed by plcketers. McDade testified, when they fried to bring a truck through the strikers' lines. During the 1031 Cleveland milk strike, McDade told the committee, red paint was daubed on the house of Prank Tabor, head of the Tabor Ice Cream company, In an attempt to create sentiment against the strikers." Guards turned over union automo biles and fired on their own men in that strike, he said, to create dis orders and cause the hiring of more men. McDade said he was employed for that "lob" by the . Jamas Field Agency of Chicago, which sent five men to Cleveland under hla super vision. Slugging Ordered Documents to show that the Fed eral Laboratories, Inc.,. sold machine guns to the police chief of west Point, Ga., and that they were later turned over to a textile firm were presented during yesterday's commit' tee session. Some guards wero ordered to "slug" union men during the Pittsburgh National Dairy strike In 1035, Mc Dade aald, adding that he did not do any of the slugging himself. "What was the real purpose behind the slugging?" asked Senator Thomas (D.. Utah). "To cause trouble, I suppose," Mc Dade replied. The witness said he was sent from Chicago to serve as a guard In the New Orleans Public Service company street car strike In 1029. From 600 to 900 men were recruited from De trolt and Chicago as strike-breakers on that occasion, he said. COATS you would want to wear 919.05 2975 FTHELWYN B.

By EDDY GI1.MORE Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 34. (AP) The American Automobile association sorted today that the best guide to man's character Is the" way be drives his car. "If a prospective bride." said Bur ton Marsh, director of the safety and traffic engineering department, "really wants to know her future husband'? mind, let her ride with him through a traffic Jam she'll learn things." A half-mile drive through tooting horns, screeching brakes and traffic policemen, he aald. will bring out: A violent temper. Nerves. Tendency to fatigue. Timidity. Manners. Sportsmanship. "It Is quite true," March explained that a man may be polite end quiet in his office and home, and yet i little tilt with tough traffic will re veal that he'a a bully at heart." Without going Into the phychologl- ral reasons behind it, Marsh sal'l driving seems to stimulate the "show off 'and tho "daredevil" more than other types. His tips to fiancees were: The man with a bad temper blasts his horn, makes faces at other mo torists and swears at pedestrians. Short, quick toots on the horn and racing of the motor aro signs of nerves. Not keeping up with the pace of the traffic and nodding are Indica tions that a man tlrea easily. The timid person gets too far to tho side of the road and ties up traffic by failing to keep his place in a line of cars. Recognising the rights of the fel low in smaller, older automoones shows that a man la a good sport. "What are the tips for prospective bridegrooms?" he was asxea. We'll go Into that some other time," he ssld. PROCESSING TAXES CHICAGO. Sept. 34.
