Texile Works
(By The Associated Press I
PARIS, Sept. 15, — Strikes
spread deeper through the Fren
ch textile industry today, and
were accompanied by scattered
disorders in numerous towns.
On the heels of the employers’
refusals to accept government ar
bitration, 16,000 struck in Vosges
and five hundred in Sazebrouch.
Mobile guards were called out
at Thaon and Les Vosges to re
store order after 2500 dyers re
fused to heed the strike order,
and battled with pickets.
Labor, supporting the govern
ment’s industrial reform program
threatened to organize a hundred
thousand militant workers and
force Lille employers to agree to
the proposed forty hour week,
and market workers have now
threatened to strike in support
of labor statements.

VIore Troops Are
Ready March For
Rebel Chieftains
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, Sept. 15, — With
Ietermined vanguards stretching
;oward Madrid, the Fascist com
mander Francais Franco is re
ported to have pledged twenty
five thousand more men for the
march from Talavera on the cap
itol.
The government announced this
report came from a fascist desert
er who said the insurgents told
Franco “the militia is braver
than we”.
The main fascist forces are at
Talavera, but vanguards stretch
ed toward Avila and San Martin
de Valdeiglesias, the latter place
about thirty-six miles West of
Madrid.
Nevertheless, Socialists contend
ed successful checking of ad
vances both on Madrid and Tol
edo was actually a fact, and that
they had coined a watchword—
“They shall retreat.”
In the north, fascists drove to
ward Orio, ten miles West of San
Sebastian, forcing the U. S. Con
sulate to be abandoned.
At Bilboa, foreigners hastily
evacuated the city. Madrid an
nounced this morning that 77
army officers had been executed.
