ZEALOUS VENDOR OF TEAR GAS
STRIKING SEAMEN WOUNDED
(Received March 7, 6.30 pjn.) WASHINGTON, March 6. Letters introduced as evidence at the
hearing by a Senate sub-committee which is investigating Labour espionage disclosed that a tear gas and machine-gun salesman of the Federal Laboratories Corporation was so eager to sell his wares to San Francisco police in July 1934 that he seriously wounded striking longshoremen with gas bombing, winning a compliment from his employers. A witness stated that the bomb was not called for and was apparently used only because a news film was being taken.
