NEW ORLEANS FACES NEW TRIKE MENACE Building Trades May Walk Out With Street Car Men in.Louisiana City. MARTIAL LAW PLEA SEEN New Orleans, July 6 (U.P.).—Ro- mantic New Orleans was in the midst of a bitter strike tonight that had tied up trolley and bus service, throwing milling thousands into riots, caused two deaths and threatened to result in & general walkout of building trades. The lull that followed last night’s storm, in which rioting strikers broke into the Canal Street Barn, burning six cars, was broken by threats of the Buliiding Trades Council. A sympathy walkout now under consideration by 20,000 union workers, would create an unparalleled problem, disrupting utili- ers to round up rioting strikers. Above, police using night sticks and drawn revolv- ties and industries throughout the city. The first significant legal question came also today when Federal Judge Wayne G. Borah set Tuesday for a hearing on a petition of Public Service Co. bondholders for a temporary in- junction, granting of which would bring Federal protection for company property. The city was‘in high tension. Police- men were on 12-hour shifts, patrolling properties of the car company and attempting to prevent street gatherings of the strikers. In the five car barns were several hundred imported etrikebreakers, whose first excursions into the streets provoked: rock hurling; storming of cars, and in some instances rioting. They were armed with riot guns and revolvers, but cautioned not to leave the barns. A possibility existed of martial law if the situation failed to improve. Picketing by the 5,000 strikers was somewhat a vdhingerige A today as a re- sult of decisions to curtail all car and bus traffic of the Public Service Co. because of the danger of renewal cf rioting.

S. Senators Is Involved in German Trial, FAMOUS LETTER IS TOPIC Berlin, July 6 (A.P.)—Today’s hear- ing in the trial of Vladimir Orloff, Peter Pavlonowsky and Others on charges of forging documents that pur- ported to show bribery of United States senators by Soviet Russia, ended sud- denly today when a witness mentioned “Nuntia.” That word is the popular name of a semiofficial military intel- ligence service, which is not supposed to be discussed publicly. The trial was adjourned until next Wednesday. The famous Zinovieff letter, which caused the defeat of the Ramsay Mac- Donald government in the 1924 British eletcions, was the medium of the sud- den suspension of he trial. Hugo Juehlheisen, head of a recently dis- solved government intelligence service, testified that he had heard that Orloff had boasted of having had a part in the publication of that letter. He was pressed for the source of this informa- tion and when he answered “Nuntia,” the court dismissed him and adjourned. Earlier in the proceedings, Herbert Fuchs, one of the defense attorneys, had charged that the Soviet Embassy here was trying to influence the out- zome of the trial. He said that M. Stern, a representative of the Soviet, had threatened an expert who was to testify respecting forged Russian docu- men “would be regarded by the Soviet Em- bassy as a hostile act.” M. Stern denied this, saying that the expert had come to him and requested certain documents, but that since the man wes the author of many anti- Soviet articles, he was refused this ac- commodation. $1,400,000 Awarded For Forest Protection (Associated Press.)
