Picket Lines Obstruct Motor And Pedest
rian Traffic To And From Mills: State
Troopers Issue Orders Discontinue
(By The Associated Press')
SEATTLE, June 8—The state police, in a prominent
..role, paced the stage of the lmr/bei strike, as warring fac
tions within the strikers’ ranks prepared for fresh assaults
to gain control of the negotiations with the lumber oper
ators.
Dissension wrought the Sawmill and Timber Workers
Union as one force fought bitterly to remove A. W. Muir,
President of the International Carpenters and Joiners
Union, and who serves as spokesman.
He in turn doggedly countered with charges of com
munism and threats to expell local unions who are swing
ing away from the Northwest Council of the organization.
The situation at Longview is charged with possible
trouble, when a squad from the State patrol, apparently
acting under government orders, ordered pickets to cease
blocking motor and pedestrain traffic to and from the mills.
Additional state officers are expected here to augment the
force which arrived with two patrol wagons.

today disclaimed any knowledge or
denied reports that twenty of the
ransom notes had been found at Salt
Lake City and that E. J. Connelly
in charge of the Department of Jus
tice contingent here, had flown to
Utah to investigate.
They also denied all knowledge
of the published report that the ran
somed lad had been interviewed by
federal agents in a Seattle hotel
last night. The family remained sil
ent and would not comment on any
thing concerning the boy.
Meanwhile Nathan said that the
case was ‘quieter than a church
yard.”
Two persons were released at
Grangeville, Idaho today when ii
was determined their money was
not that which was paid in ransom
notes to the kidnapers. It was first
believed that some of the money
which they passed there correspond
ed to some of the serial numbers
of the ransom fund.
Seattle authorities are seeking a
man and a woman nicknamed Percy
and Minnie. An airplane search is
being made for the kidnapers’ lair.
A light blanket, similar to strips
of blanket in which the kidnapers
wrapped their victim, was found
near Issaquah. It is believed that
the search will not be concentrated
from here, much longer.

Mussolini Tells
Italian Soldiers
\\ here they Stand
(By The Associated Press)
CAGLIARI, Sardinia, June 8, —
■
Mussolini told soldiers departing for
Africa ‘we have an old and a new
account to settle" with Ethiopia and
‘we will settle them.’
Apparently referring to Great
Britain's openly expressed opposition
to Italy’s policy in Africa, II Duce
said the accounts would be settled ,
without taking ‘any account of what
was said beyond the frontier."
The papers are almost wholly oc
cupied with stories about the con
flict, which is regarded as virtual
ly inevitable.
Todays demonstration will show
that Italy, united, will march with
obedience and discipline to accom
plish those ends which her king and
duce will announce. Such was the
text of Mussolini’s statement when
he flew here to review the division
prior to its departure for Africa. The
entire city was gaily decorated for
the occasion.
