Tlie 50 were all that remained of approximately 500 unionists who gathered yesterday to back the strike of five American Federation of Labor craft unions for collective bargaining recognition 'from the Warner Construction company, project contractor. Tactics Orderly Excited, gleeful picket spokesmen poured out grievances to General Richardson during the guard column's stop at their camp. They Insisted their strike tactics had been perfectly orderly and that they had been fired on without provocation.

"There is no person who wouldn't say this was the most peaceable strike wo have seen until those people started shooting on us," one unionist declared. "How do you want to go out?" General Richardson asked, after most indicated their eagerness to leave. "Any old way," several shouted.

(ff) Convinced they had been rictlmized by fcou, federal officials stated a statewide search today for the operator who loaded radio channels with urgent distress signals through a hectic seven hours list night. In answer to stream of erratic messages, the coast guard and private shipping vainly searched the Atlantic off east Florida by air and water, seeking a British tanker afire and sinking.

First doubt arose after the unknown said his ship was the tanker Dunkwa and Lloyd's of London reported the Dunkwa safe in port at Rotterdam. Further discrepancies in the harrowing sent by a ship's officer after the radio operator was badly hurt noted soon but the coast guard didn't immediately abandon its costly search. "All the evidence points to a hoax," said Lieut. W. B.

Schlebel of the coast guard air station, "but we can't take any chances." Coast guard headquarters at Jacksonville commented bluntly: "The whole thing stinks."

Aug. The declaration that a "class struggle" was under way in the United States was made by Harry Bridges during his deportation hearing today, and he added: "Workers are being shot down on picket lines all over the country." At the conclusion of.a 10-mlnute speech, the Australian-born CIO labor leader picked up a newspaper and pointed to bold headlines reading "Troops Rush To Battle 4 Shot In Strike." Deportation Is Aim The story was about Gov. Ralph L. Can- of Colorado proclaiming that a state of insurrection existed in the Green Mountain dam strike zone after four union sympathizers were shot and wounded. The government Is attempting to deport Bridges on the contention he is a communist and that communists advocate overthrow of government by violence.

Bridges is head of maritime workers on the West Coast. "Is there a class struggle?" Thomas B. Shoemaker, chief of the government's counsel at the hearing, had asked Bridges. "Very definitely," Bridges replied. Short! "Give" "On the one hand are the large corporate interests; on the other hand art the working people, the small business people and the small farmers and such as that." inquired whether Bridges thought the struggle "can ever be amicably settled?" Bridges replied that he thought if the employers would agree to "give a little," amicable settlement could be arranged.

"But when it comes to questions of the right to take over factories, that's something I've never gone into; I know nothing about," the continued.

county's sharp-shooting young sheriff, Bill Brunt, and a tavern keeper were killed and a young woman employe of the inn wounded in an early morning pistol battle on the Rusk-Jacksonville highway today. A charge of murder was filed against the woman, Myrtle Stanley, 25, who told Investigators Brunt and Isaiah Creel, her employer, shot each other after the officer halted Creel's automobile. County Attorney Ellis Lewis quoted her as saying she and Creel had been to Kllgore and were returning with a load of beer. County Jj Dry Cherokee county is dry territory under local option. Creel, 42, operated a roadside place known as the Hock Inn, near here.

The Stanley woman was the only witness to the shooting, Lewis said. He quoted her as saying Brunt attempted several times to halt the Creel car, then shot the tire off a front wheel, bringing it to a stop. When the sheriff walked up to the machine, she related. Creel fired once, the bullet striking Brunt In the heart. The sheriff, who won sharpshooter honors in the navy, fired three or four times before he fell.

One bullet struck the tavern keeper in the chest, another hit the woman in the leg. All three victims lay beside the road for nearly an hour before a meat-truck driver brought word the shooting to Rusk. After being questioned by Lewis here, the woman was taken to a hospital at Jacksonville. Her wound was not regarded as critical.

TURNER AiMclmfed PTCM Staff Writer ASHINGTON, Aug. 3 ItW House completed the destruction of President Roosevelt's tending program today with a 111-170 vote declining even to consider tttt $000,000,000 slum clearance and housing bill. A coalition of Republicans Democrats mowed the measure down in precisely the same way It killed the $1,950,000,000 works financing bill. Obstacle Removed The coalition consisted today of 137 Republicans and 54 A total of 159 Democrats, eight Republicans, and three minor party members supported the administration. The Tote removed one more obstacle to adjournment, and soon after it was taken another was ea aside.

Representative Rayburn of Texas, the Democratic leader, announced to the House the decision of the administration leadership to scrap for the session highly controversial legislation amending the wage-hour law. However, leaders who had hoped to end the session Saturday night were forced to allow for a possible revision of their plans by developments in the Senate. There, a row was evidently developing over ttw third deficiency ill, which II passed the House failed to provide funds for a continuation ol price- bolster Irg loans on farm commodities, Another Victory Omission of funds for this purpose was another victory for the economy bloc. The Senate, however, has repeatedly shown itself more inclined to appropriate for farm relief than the other branch of Congress, and an effort to write a 1119,000.000 amendment for farm loans into the bill was in the making. Such an attempt obviously would be time-consuming.

Today, the measure was in the hands of the Senate appropriations committee, before which Secretary Wallace appealed for the item, lest, he said, farm prices sag to disastrous levels. One other piece of major legislation remained to complicate the adjournment situation: Amendments to the social security act were tied up in a tight snarl in a conference committee representing both houses of Congress.
