(By The Associated .Press)
UNDATED, July 13, — The Unit
ed States took a central role today
in the Italo-Ethiopian quarrel, with
a statement by Secretary Cordell
Hull of the State Department in
support of the Briand-Kellogg pact,
outlawing war.
He mentioned neither Italy nor
Ethiopia by name but said that
Washington expected nations who
signed that peace treaty to live up
to the pact.
In Rome, headquarters hastened
unofficially to assert that Italy had
not violated the treaty but was a
victim of hostile Ethiopian acts.
Military preparation in Italy went
forward with a rapid pace today.
Authoritative circles said that Italy
would attend a meeting of the Coun
cil of the League of Nations if one
is called, in the dispute.
London speculated as to whether
Secretary Hull hinted the possibil
ity that the United States might
join England in a determined effort
to avert the threatened war.

(By The Associated Press)
TACOMA, July 13. —Four hours of street fighting in
which a National Guard truck was burned and guardsmen
were forced to use tear gas and drawn bayonets to stave and
quell a demonstration by more than a thousand lumber
strikers and their sympathizers, were ended near nightfall
Friday.
Upwards of twenty arrests were made, and minor in
juries were inflicted on scores of persons.
The demonstrators assembled about 3:30 P. M. in an at
tempt to push by guardsmen and parade across the 11th
Street Bridge into the tide flat lumber district. They were
finally dispersed eight blocks up 11th Street, going right
through the business district.
At the height of the battling tear gas, and nauseous gas
bombs were hurled back and forth, as the guardsmen ad
vanced with bayonets fixed. A truck caught fire from an
unknown cause which started the rioting.
Gas fumes penetrated the federal building w'here Mrs.
Waley’s triaL was going on, shortly after the adjournment
of the court.
As the crowd was forced up 11th Street they pelted the
guardsmen .with vegetables as they passed two large mar
kets and also hurled rocks. Many of the strikers and their
sympathizers waved small American flags in the faces of
the guardsmen. The crowd booed the militia.
A frequent cry was: “Why don’t you go home so we can
get back to work?”
