had been frequently employed by
strike-breaking agencies to create
disorders for the purpose of discred
iting union strikers.
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.

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.
