Discussions between Bendix officials and the union were resumed soon after the organization's decision on the strike vote.

‘Union, Ford Claim

Strike - Victory

t By United Press

RICHMOND, Cal., June 8.—A new

| kind of labor pact, which settled the

argument of union recognition and

| permitted both sides to boast of vic- | tory, was in force at the Ford as-

sembly plant today as workers returned after a 19-day strike. The result was a matter of interpretation.

The Ford management recognized a 12-man committee as bargaining agency for all the workers. These 12. men are members of the United Automobile Workers of America, which called the strike. But while the U. A. W. A. claimed it was a union committee because all were union members, Ford officials said it was just a workers’

Women Voters Indorse Child Labor Ban at Wage Hearing

(Editorial,

By United Press

Page 14)

WASHINGTON, June 8.—Witnesses before a joint session of House and Senate labor committees today emphasized their indorsement of child labor provisions of the pending Black-Connery wages and hours

bill.

Three major groups placed themselves on record as favoring the bill's ban on child labor—the Federal Children’s Bureau, the National League of Women Voters, and the National Child Labor Committee. Miss Katharine F. Lenroot, chief of the Children’s Bureau, declared the child labor prohibition was “in harmony with the considered judg-

ment of progressive employers, labor, the public, and require little discussion.”

She proposed two changes in the child labor section. One would enable fuller use of state facilities for issuing employment and age certificates “as a protection to employers who desire them.” The other would strengthen children’s bureaus’ authority in administration of the child labor prohibition.

Mrs. Dorothy Kirchwey Brown, Boston, Women Voters’ League -director, supported the “general objectives” of the child labor prohibition. She said the League would prefer to see child labor sections of the bill administered by the Children’s B reau rather than by the propos five-man Labor Standards Board. Courtenay Dinwiddie, general secretary of the National Child Labor Committee, said he felt the only “permanent solution” to exploitation of child labor was an amendment to the Constitution. Statements by two Democratic Senators today projected the possibility that the bill to abolish child

member of the Grand Jury would be allowed to testify regarding deliberations on the Baker-Cancilla case.

State Plea Partially Upheld

Judge Emmert upheld the State's demurrer to the second part of the defense plea in abatement. This ruling eliminated from the case the defense charge that |the Grand Jury was drawn illegally. ; If defense attorneys fail to prove that Prosecutor Spencer's office influenced returning the indictments, further pleadings are expected to be filed by the defense. Prosecutor Spencer, after filing a general denial to the defense plea, urged that the hearing be held yesterday, but W. C. Bachelder, defense attorney, asked for time to “read the law.” Trial date for te case has been set tentatively for July 26.

Meanwhile, the committee went ahead with a bill offered by Committee Chairman Whittington (D. Miss.) to authorize $36,100,000 of new emergency projects in the Lower Ohio basin as a result of recent floods. :

Gen. Markham said that a series of 45 reservoirs on Ohio {ributaries costing 246 million dollars was contemplated.

The report suggested construetion of 190 million dollars of flood-walls and levees along the Ohio, exclusive of $40,916,000 for lands and damages to be paid by local interests.

Harlow’s Body Guarded in

Mortuary as Stars, Fans ‘Are Refused Admittance

Jean to Be Dressed in White for Simple Rites Open Only to 200 of Her Closest Intimates; Estate Set at $1,000,000.

(Continued from Page One)

Pierce Brothers Parlors to the chapel of the Wee Kirk of the Heather at Forest Lawn Cemetery shortly before the funeral tomorrow. Only 200 of the star's nearest friends will be admitted to the tiny chapel. A guard of honor, selected from fellow-workers at M-G-M, will form a cordon around the chapel to keep back sightseers. They will be aided by police. Miss Harlow’s body will not lie in state as has been the practice when other Hollywood stars died.

The actress frequently’ has expressed her disapproval of large funerals.

The unexpected death of the star, rated as among the first 10 in film box office value, spread gloom over the motion picture colony. Her mother was prostrated. For days she had watched ceaselessly at Miss Harlow’s bedside and to the last she had hoped against hope for her recovery.

Stars Speak Admiration

Her divorced husband, Marino Bello, although living apart in his own Hollywood home, still had remained a close friend of the family, was grief-stricken. He was extremely fond: of his stepdaughter, for whom he had acted as a liveried chauffeur during her early days in the films when the family exchequer was lean, William Powell; with whom Miss Harlow had appeared many times on the screen, and who entered her life recently as her escort at Hollywood gay spots, had watched with the mother until the end and then went into seclusion. Stars and extras spoke ‘of the admiration she had won from everyone in the profession. Friends of Miss Harlow revealed that despite her generous charities she had exercised excellent business

judgment. It was believed her estate would total $1,000,000. Between 16 and 26, her age at her death, she had been married three times. The first was to Charles F. McGrew, Chicago broker, in 1927. The newlyweds came to Hollywood, and for a time every hour with them was playtime. Then they drifted apart as the young wife sought work as a film extra. Divorce followed. In 1932 the rising young star married the artistic; studious and melancholy Paul Bern, brilliant producer. Bern's suicide a few weeks later to correct, as he wrote in his death note, the “frightful wrong” he had done her, was the great tragedy of her life. She never explained the “wrong.” . Miss Harlow’s third husband was Hal Rosson, the opposite of Bern in temperament. He was her cameraman and admirer for months. That union, like the first, also ended in divorce. Friends of the star said that. it was characteristic of her that she never blamed any one of ‘her three husbands for anything that happened during her marriages.

Flackville Residents Say Leader Boasts He'll: ‘Shoot It Out’

Sheriff's deputies today searched camouflaged caves and hideouts of a Flackville boys’ burglary gang for the 19-year-old ringleader who has warned that he will “shoot it out” to escape capture. Six alleged gang members, ranging in age from 16 to 21, are under arrest on vagrancy charges. Officers said they believed these youths

A search also is being made for a 23-year-old filling station attendant who is alleged to have served as & “fence” for the ring and to have hidden stolen goods in the station oil pit. - 4 “If we get the ringleader we may | be able to pick up five or six more | boys connected with this gang,” deputies said.

Crimes Kept Secret

According to deputies, all the boys come from good homes in Flackville, and had been able to keep their carstripping and house-breaking secret until recently. Headquarters for the ring was in an Eagle Creek shack, and the boys,

| deputies said, dug & maze of tunnels

into the banks of the stream. Entrances were camouflaged with grass matting. Two squads were to be sent into the district this afternoon, after Flackville residents reported that the alleged gang leader was carrying a gun and boasting that he would not be taken without a fight,
