NEW YORK, February 15
A message from Anderson (Indiana) says that Automobile Workers’ Union organisers have telegraphed to President Roosevelt asking him to take action against the imposition of martial law, which followed a clash of workers in the guide-lamp plant of the General Motors Corporation. The organisers allege that the Governor of Indiana (Mr Townsend) refused to guarantee the rights of unionists and that troops are interfering with the union organisation. The city is quiet and the troops have reported no arrests.
