that the question of whether the | steel companies shall sign a con- | tract with Committee for Industrial | Organization union be submitted | to the National Labor Relations | Board. His proposal was submitted at the | second conference with representatives of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube and Republic Steel Corp. and of the Steel *Workers’ Organizing Committee. Governor Davey said, under his proposal, the steel companies wou!d have the right to appeal to the Court for a final judicial determination of the question as provided by the labor law. He also asked that the two parties in the conference enter into an “immediate agreement” to end the 20-day steel strike based upon a seven-point formula he offered at last Friday's conference. The earlier formula had provided that the steel companies sign a contract) with the union but that the union not demand & closed shop and check-off system. The companies’ steadfast refusal to sign an agreement with the union has been the sole disputed point in the strike. : J. C. Argetsinger, vice president and general counsel for Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and one of the steel companies’ envoys, told newsmen: “We will not be trapped by anything like the captive mine agreement in 1933.” The agreement to whichihe referred was negotiated by President | Roosevelt during a conference with steel company executives, ending a strike in coal mines operated for the steel firms. The strike was called by John L. Lewis, head of the mine union and C. I. O. chief.

Two Feared Dying in Johnstown Rioting

By United Press JOHNSTOWN, Pa, June 15.— Mayor Daniel Shields, following the third serious riot since Friday near the picketed plant of the Bethlehem Steel Corp. announced today that he would put 3000 members of the American Legion under arms if, necessary “to protect Johnstown homes and property. Shields made his announcement several hours after last night's riot in which 500 striking steel workers and their symapthizers picketing the Bethlehem Cambria plant engaged city police in battle. Tony Mandos, a picket, was shot twice by a policeman. Philip A. Fry, a nonstriking Bethlehem worker, received Both were said ;0 be dying in the hospital where ‘hey were taken. The policeman who shot Mandos, and two other pickets were less seriously hurt. In earlier fighting yesterday, eight men and two children were injured none seriously.

20 Injured in Clash of Electric Unions §

Ey United Press AMBRIDGE, Pa.,, June. 15— Twenty men were injured in rioting between rival unions today when the National Electric Products Co.

Industrial Organization demands that steel companies sign written | contracts are “absurd” because the C. I. O. has no “legal entity.” Hoffman, who represents a district in a state which has been torn by repeated labor controversies during the last year, often has ecriticized the C. I. O. in its efforts to unionize the automobile and steel industries.

Hoffman contended today that labor unions should be made equally responsible with employers for violation of labor contracts, He said that C. I. O. demands for a written contract are “ridiculous” when viewed in the light of a statement which he attributed to Senator | Robert F. Wagner (D. N. Y.), author of the labor act. He quoted Wagner in a letter to the New York Sun on Nov. 4, 1935, as saying:

“The law (the Wagner Act) does | not require any employer to sign any agreement of any kind. Congress has no power to impose such a requirement.” In this connection, Hoffman said: “Why sign an agreement ‘with someone who has no authority to make such an agreement, who does not legally represent the men who would be affected by it and which Lewis and the C. I. O. have no right to demand? “A signed agreement for collective bargaining will be proper if and when both parties to it are made responsible for the violation of its terms.”

Coal Boycott Drawn Tighter

By United Press PITTSBURGH June 15.—The coal strike called by John L. Lewis was made effective today against all “captive” mines operated by Bethlehem Steel Corp, Republic Steel, and Youngstown Sheet & Tube. The 19 mines operated by those companies in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia were closed and 10,000 miners were idle as the United Mine Workers of America threw its support behind striking steel workers and sought signed contracts for the “captives.” Nation-wide commercial producers have been warned not to supply the companies.

O. representatives today on the resumption of picketing at the Newton Steel Co. plant. The Mayor said that ‘peaceful picketing” would be permitted if C. I. O. leaders could «agree with him on regulations for governing it.

DROPS CHARGES AGAINST MAYOR

Terre Haute . Prosecutor Dismisses Beecher Indictment.

By United Press TERRE HAUTE June 15.—Prosecutor Leonrd Kincaid today dismissed an indictment against Mayor Sam Beecher and his wife, Katherine, who is City Controller, in which they had been charged with misfeasance and malfeasance in

office. ‘At a hearing last: May 22, Judge John W. Gerdink in Circuit Court sustained a motion by Mr. Beecher to quash the indictment. The court told Mr. Kincaid at that time he could either resubmit the case to the present grand jury or bring Mr. Beecher and his wife to trial by affidavit. Mr. Kincaid decided today, however, to drop the case and so advised Judge Gerdink. The indictment against Mr, Beecher and his wife, returned July 17, 1936, contained four counts. These alleged that Mr. Beecher placed Noble Wilson, an assistant cemetery superintendent, on the city payroll and that Mrs. Beecher cashed his $100 a month checks; that Frank Whalen was placed on the city payroll by Mr. Beecher when the mayor campaigned for governor a year ago and his duties consisting of folding the mayor's campaign literature; that Charles C. Davis, city street commissioner, absented himself from his job for four weeks campaigning for Mr. Beecher during which time he was paid by the city; and that Mr. Beecher in 1936 used 1,246 gallons

of gasoline which had been pur- | chased for the police department.

Took Office in 1935

Mr. Beecher took office Jan. 1, 1935, and it was only a few months until Terre Haute was the scene of a general strike and was placed under martial law. Powers Hapgood,

labor sympathizer, was arrested for vagrancy and there was considerable furore over denial of civil liberties to the eitizens in Terre Haute. Only last year Mayor Beecher’s police force, on his instructions, arrested Earl Browder, Communist candidate for President. Browder returned later and again was prevented from speaking. Last year the City Council attempted to oust Mayor Beecher but failed by one vote of having a majority.

son, Leaders in both houses know the reason. It's different, too.

Apparently only Philo Vance or Mr. Garner can supply the truth. The Vice President is covering 500 miles a day by auto in his hurry to get back home. And Mr. Vance being otherwise occupied, the field is clear

for the press-gallery sleuths to ap-.

ply the pros and cons to that snowball of gossip. For instance: Mr. Garner is reported to be worn out after about seven months in Washington. But some of his friends say he never looked better. He is reported to be escaping the heat. But Washington hasn't really got into its hot spell yet. The Senate Chamber is as cool as the corner movie anyway. Certainly cooler than Texas. ; He is reported to be just taking a rest because the Senate is twiddling its thumbs. The fact is that the Senate has just got back to serious work. : You can hear that he and Mrs. Garner merely want to get away from Washington for three weeks or so (some say five weeks, others that he will not return this session) to see their son and grandchild. . | You can hear of an intra-Ad-ministration .row..

STUDY DIARY CLUES IN TAYLOR MURDER

By United Press LOS ANGELES, June 15—A diary

provided today’s new clues in the’

William Desmond Taylor murder case, The dairy belongs to Chauncey Eaton who was chauffeur for Mrs. Charlotte Shelby when Taylor was shot, Feb.*1, 1922. Mrs. Shelby is the mother of Mary Miles Minter, star of the silent picture era, who was directed by Taylor." Eugene D. Williams, deputy district attorney, was conferring with Eaton today about several entries in the diary, which was said to have contained notes on the movements of Mrs. Shelby and Miss Minter. Williams said one page of the

-diary was taken up with a tracing

of a 38-caliber Colt revolver,” with the serial number of the weapon, “but,” he added, “I am satisfied it was not the gun which killed Taylor.”

over the Administration's attitude on the strikes. Court Bill Involved

Some whisper that Mr. Garner has left because he doesn't want to cast the decisive vote on the Court proposal. There's a story that he wants to dodge the New York mayoralty fight, being “indebted” to Tammany and still very fond of Mayor La Guardia.

Another yarn is that he has been pulling for a balanced budget and doesn’t want to break openly with Mr. Roosevelt. During his Vice Presidential career John Garner has delighted in calling himself the Administration's “spare tire,” but no Vice President in years has done more for his party's leader. He sits with the Cabinet, and helps Senator Joe Robinson pilot Administration bills through the Senate. He took a prominent part in the fight to make Sam Rayburn majority leader of the house. Mr. Rayburn, his close friend, says emphatically that Mr. Garner ieft only for a rest.

BLUM WILL RISK FINANCE MOVES

French Premier to Ask Tax Increases; Borrowings And Stable Franc.

By United Press PARIS, June 15.—Premier Leon Blum decided today to risk the life of his government on measures involving higher taxes, new borrowing and means to protect the franc. Blum will ask Parliament for broad powers to replenish an 18.000,000,000 franc ($802,000,000) treasury deficit. The plans of his Government in this regard have not yet been revealed. They were accepted unanimously by the Cabinet yesterday and will be discussed by the Chamber of Deputies Finance Commission this evening when they probably will get to debate so that passage can be assured tomorrow. There is strong opposition to the plan so that the danger of a Government upset exists. However, in the troubled situation, it was known that no group was ready to form a new coalition cabinet and hence it was believed the Government will be successful.

Chief task of the committee was determination of a publicity policy for names | of alleged tax dodgers revealed and selection of a chaire man. : Indication that all names placed before the committee would be diss closed was [seen in a statement b Senator Harrison, chairman of th Senate Finance Committee and member of the joint group, after conference with President ‘Roose velt. “Why not let the country kno

who these persons are?” he asked “I am sure that the committee will want full publicity.”

Rep. Robert L. Doughton (D,

Present plans called for appearance of Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau as the first witness tomorrow. . !
