Elevator Men Strike in East
Emergency Is Declared by La Guardia; Leaders Reject Proposals
NEW YORK, March 2.—O'— Striking elevator operators—slowly paralyzing New York City’s business and social life—rejected mayor Fior-ello Laguardia’s arbitration proposals tonight.
With a state of emergency declared by LaGuardia the strike leaders stalked out of city hall preparing to call out thousands more of the men and women who operate elevators and fire furnaces in the towers o fManhattan. LaGuardia persuaded them to agree to return at 10 a. m., tomorrow, but meanwhile the mayor expressed grave fear for the health and safety of 7,000,000 New Yorkers.
Blood Spilled
Blood was spilled ac the building service employees union widened the strike area until it covered most of Manhattan Island. No deaths were reported from the centers of vio-ence, but noses were bloodied and heads cracked.
Twenty-three men were arrested, charged with disorderly conduct.

No accurate estimate was available on the number of buildings left without service. Bambrick contended 5,699 buildings had been left without service after 71,000 men had walked out. Taking his own figures, that would mean the strike is about 50 per cent effective.
The bureau of operations at police headquarters disputed Bambrick’s figures, claiming only 800 buildings were crippled.

Six Others of Crew Injured
Canadian Pacific Employes, Clearing Snow, Caught As Coupling Snaps
Copyright, 1936. by United Press.
REVELSTOKE. B C., March 2. —d'E)—'While Canadian Pacific workmen tonight cleared debris from the tracks near Downie, to restore through traffic, the bodies of 14 of their fellow-employes lay in the morgue here, victims of one of Canada’s worst railroad accidents.
Six others were in the hospital | but were expected to recover.
A locomotive which broke loose on a steep grade of the High Rockies near Downie. hurtled down the track with terrific momentum and crushed a crew of workmen in the bottle-neck of a deep, narrow cut, blocked at one end. It was dark, in the early morning, and raining hard. The men had little chance to escape the juggernaut before it was upon them.
Crew Clearing Snow The crew went out from Revel-stoke on a work tiain to clear the tracks of a snow slide, loosened by heavy rains. As the train passed through the deep cut east of Downie, 30 miles from here, a second slide suddenly roared off the mountain. It caught the train and rerailed the engine and tender.
A second locomotive backed down the grade from niecillewaet, B. C„ several miles farther up the mountain. With hoists and cables, the men were able to get the tender onto the track, and the engine started for Illecillewaet with it.
Coupling Snaps Two miles up, the coupling suddenly snapped. The tender, unbraked and empty, raced down the track, gaining speed. There was no way to warn the men in its path It struck with tremendous force, knocking bodies in all directions. Several of the men were crushed to death between the tender and the stalled locomotive.
Survivors of the crash notified Revelstoke authorities through an emergency telephone and two hours later an emergency train, carrying physicians, reached the scene.
Application blanks for summer employment may now be secured and filled out in the office of the employment bureau, according to announcement released from that office yesterday evening.
“This year an attempt will be made to place the workers in their own community.” said Mul-vey White, head of the employment bureau. “At the present time there are positions for eight girls at the fair in San Diego and we are trying to obtain other jobs, at the fair, for applicants who are members of ’'hat community.”
“Other positions in Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, and nearby localaties are being investigated for the benefit of persons living there,” he concluded.

Strong Will Discuss Work Of German Composer This Afternoon
Featuring the compositions for string quartet by Arnold Schoenberg, famous German composer and teacher who is now on S. C. campus. the Abas string quartet will present the first of a series of three concerts tonight at 8:15 p. m. in Touchstone theater.
Each concert will include a f Schoenberg quartet and a work of , an earlier period. The numbers on tonight’s program are Schoenberg’s first quartet, Opus 7, and Mozart’s F major string quartet.
The Schoenberg first quartet is in one movement and though when analyzed, it seems very clear in construction, the elaborate motion accompanying the theme prevents it from sounding as clear to the ( listener as a work of Mozart, for example.
The Abas quartet, founded and | directed by Nathan Abas, is a group of young musicians who play together because they enjoy chamber music and wish to present it to student audiences so that they may learn to appreciate it For this season student and faculty season tickets for the three concerts to be given March 3, March 17, and April 14, may be purchased for $1. Single admission is 40 cents for students and 75 cents for the public.

Wilder To Explain Writer's Art

Discrediting the fallacy that writers need the stimulus of contact with other writers, Thornton Wilder, Pulitzer prize winner and author of “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,” will lecture on “The Motion Pictures and Literature” Thursday evening, at 8 o’clock in Bovard auditorium.
In adding Wilder to the list of literary celebrities brought to the Trojan campus by Epsilon Phi, honorary English fraternity, Edward Safarjian, president of this organization said. “The author's lectures have been received with much enthusiasm. both in this country and in Canada.*'

erica is that the people write mostly for their audiences.” ,
Wilder, born in Wyoming, attended school for a while in California, and graduated from Yale in 1920. His first book, “The Cabala,” was followed by “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,’: which “was at once acrlaimed throughout the English-speaking world as a masterpiece of genius.” The finest novel in this age, was the claim made by several critics.
Last semester Epsilon Phi brought James Stephens, Ireland’s renaissance poet, to the S.C. campus. Other lecturers brought to Troy by this literary organization include Robert Frost. Carl Sandburg, Hugh Walpole, and Christopher Morley.
Tickets for Thursday’s lecture may be obtained at either the English office. 388 Bridge hall, or at the ticket window in the Student Union. They are priced at 50 cents for general admission, and 75 cents for re-

Problem Still Existing as Congestion at Lunch, Assembly Grows
“The ‘red aone’ parking problem is still with us, though it is *a little better than last week,” according to the report made yesterday by Jaye Brower, president of the Trojan Squires.' “Fewer cars were moved and fewer car keys confiscated, but conditions are still worse than they should be.”
"Particular stress should be laid upon the fact that, although the number of violators has materially decreased, the congestion has increased during assembly and lunch hours. There is nore flaunting of authority at those two times than ever, and we mean to put an end to it, even if it necessitates calling in the police department."
Fine* May Help
“Everyone knows hove many times we have called upon the student body to cooperate with the Knights and Squires. If cooperation fails, perhaps a five-dollar fine will impress them with the importance of not perking on University avenue or in the bordering red zones,'' concluded Brower.
Fraternity and sorority presidents were reported to have been helpful in curbing the would-be parkers. and with their aid, the Knights and Squires hope to eradicate the problem before the end of the week, according to Hal Newell, president of the Knights.
Zone* To Be Repainted
Clee M. Foster’s men will begin to repaint the zones tomorrow, according to word from the operation and maintenance office. Zones on University avenue, west of Old College, are not clearly defined, and the O and M men will begin work there.

Local WPA Men Return To Work as Supervisors Improve Labor Conditions
By United Press.
More than 3,000 WPA workers returned to their picks and shovels yesterday when supervisors granted several improvements in working conditions within four hours after the men walked from a storm drain project in a strike against present regulations.
While supervisors agreed to two major demands—a six-hour, five-day work week schedule and abolition of an order docking men a day’s pay as penalty for tardiness —they refused to dismiss certain foremen or repay back wages for work lost on rainy days.
The strike was preceded by an impromptu meeting at which spokesmen of the “public works unemployed union” presented a list of grievances to L. A Lomax, dispute mediator
