Frank Hubay, 27, who lost his job at a. battery shop on Monday. A 15-year-old boy, David De Wood, was taken to Wo- men's and Children's Hospital with a-wound in his leg. One report said he had been shot, but another gave the cause as a bayonet wound. Other known victims of the gun- fire: Willie Abel. 26, who was in a serious condition. Joe Weislek, 32. who said he was an Auto-Lite worker, shot in the leg. James Larnping, 32, shot in the left arm. The spearhead of the riot was thin a few blocks of Cherry treat, a main traffic artery which outlines the business section. The shooting cllmaxed a day of spasmodic assaults against the troops, interspersed with taunts and jeers. Many wero hurt in these early clashes, and dozens went to hospitals with streaming eyes to receive first aid treatment for the effects of the tear gas. " The rioting started soon after the siege of the Auto-Lite plant, where strikers had kept non-union em- ployees virtual prisoners through- out the night, was lifted with the arrival of the troops. A chilling rain had speeded the release just about the time the militia reached the city. Guards with fixed bayon- ets stopped cars in a restricted area around the plant.

Company officials last night offered to submit all the questions involved to the Detroit Auto Labor Board for mediation. On the basis of affidavits by John J. Flynn, charging them with maintaining a public nuisance. warrants were issued for the arrest of O. O. Miniger, President of the Electric Auto-Lite Company, and J. Arthur Minch. Vice ncsldent. Tear gas bombs had filled his home across from the plant during yes- terday's rioting, Flynn said, and drove out his wife and infant daughter. Minch was released on his own recognizance after being booked at police headquarters.

He point- ed out that the people of this country can best show their grat- itude for the magnificent service the Society rendered during the Great War by supporting its un- dertakings in these days of peace, which efforts are as extensive and important as in the disastrous days of the World War. Along with its usual work the Red Cross has co- operated in a very extensive way with the Government of Canada in tho execution of their relief meas- urea made necessary by the D10- longed "Depression."
