Baseball bats used by police in strike duty in Michigan town. Washington, D.C., Aug. 1. Testifying before the Senate Civil Liberties Committee today, Mayor Daniel A. Knaggs of Monroe, Mich., admitted that some of the special police officers sworn in for strike duty at the Newton steel plant were armed with baseball bats because there were not enough bilies to go around. When he requested troops of Governor Frank Murphy to open up the picket line, Knaggs declared he was told to deputize his own men. This, he did, and over 30 persons were sworn in as special officers between June 9 and June 22, 1937, 8/1/38
