“Fuel is sometimes added to the] flames (of labor conflict) by the sil- | ly refusal of employers to put such agreements as they may reach in writing. No position has so little Justification.” Mr. Garrison, 39, is dean of Wisconsin University Law School. He was chairman of the old National Labor Relations Board. In that capacity he wrote the Houde decision commanding an employer to reach an agreement with his employees ore the ground that without an agreement collective bargaining is a farce.
McGrady Is Union Member
McGrady, 64, ace trouble shooter for the Administration in labor matters for four years, and for the A. F. of L. before that, is a member of the Printing Pressmen’s Union. His whole experience in labor organizing as well as in mediating has been directed toward work stabilization through written agreements. Mr. Taft in his book criticized labor leaders for “tacit acceptance” of violent tactics, but went on to remind employers and the public that “a strike and a picket line are He praised the Roosevelt Administration’s record in handling strikes. He defended majority rule . in unions, attacked company-domi-nated unions, upheld the industrialtype §nion and pointed to the absence ‘of jurisdictional strikes in the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. “A well-conceived and thoroughly organized union can do a good many things for the employed,” he commented, adding that the Amalgamated’s “preferential union shop” has been found “generally satisfactory.” He is the son of the late President and Chief Justice Taft, a leader in the Oxford religious group (the Buchmanites), and the father of six. He has been arbitrator and mediator in many Ohio strikes, including the bloody Auto-Lite strike at Toledo two years ago.
Garrison Is Liberal
Mr. Garrison is known for his advocacy of liberalizing the Constitution by an amendment empowering Congress to legislate in social and economic fields. He was a disciple of Prof. Felix Frankfurter at Harvard Law School, and thereafter served in Elihu Root’s New York law firm. He has been mentioned as a Supreme Court possibility. Mr. Garrison went to New York a {few years ago, while serving as labor
waterfront strike threat singlehanded at a time when everyone believed peace was impossible. Mr. McGrady, while outspoken to the point of bluntness, is perhaps the most polished ex-labor leader in America. He kept on good terms with all the NRA leaders and factions during the violent turmoil in tha tagency. He has covered many thousands of miles by plane, moving as situations became difficult. Secretary Perkins, who in 1933 opposed having him as assistant labor secretary, soon changed her mind and now is one of his boosters. If she leaves the Cabinet, there is little
doubt that McGrady will get the secretaryship.

Guard Against Violence
The most difficult job appeared likely to be that of preverting new clashes between pickets and nonstrikers seeking to go back to work. Officials in the danger spots along the strike front, Youngstown and Canton, O., and Johnstown," Pa., indicated an eagerness to aid in giving the Mediation Board an opportunity to act. The Citizens Conciliation Council at Canton, O., appealed to operators and nonstrikers to delay attempts to reopen mills until peace efforts had been made. J. G. Stewart, spokesman for a back-to-work movement at the Republic steel plant, announced that nonstrikers planned to march back to work at the picketed mills “within 48 hours.” : President Frank Purnell of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. declared that reopening of plants was hsi chief interest and “is the logical result” where protection can be arranged for the nonstrikers. ’ John S. Brookes, counsel for Republic Steel, said his company will co-operate with . the board. The other two companies involved in the strike—Inland Steel and Bethlehem —also were expected to co-operate, but it was indicated that none of the four concerns had changed its stand against signing a union contract. }
Mass Meeting in Chicago
Other developments in the scattered strike centers included: 1. C. I. O. Chairman John L. Lewis, charged in a telegram read to a strike mass meeting at Chicago that motion pictures of the Chicago Memorial Day disorders “conclusively demonstrate” that nine:strike demonstrators were ‘‘deliberately murdered in .cold blood by Chicago police as a friendly gesture to the Republic Steel Co.” 2. Rep.: Clare G. Hoffman (R. Mich) charged before a mass meeting of nonstrikers at Johnstown, Pa., that “Lewis is America’s No. 1 Communist,” and declared that “Johnstown has a chance to win a place in history by making a stand now to stem this tide of communism.” -
Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem Corp. is expected | today to confer with other company | officials on the strike situation.
Picketing was comparatively peaceful in Johnston, in contrast to almost continuous fighting along the picket lines since the strike started | a week ago. Three men had been injured seriously in that time, and | scores had suffered minor hurts. | Company officials said the Cambria, | plant was increasing operations. | Strike leaders said there was little ! change,

By United Press TERRE, HAUTE, June 18.—Two State labor conciliators attempted today to settle a strike of 400 construction workers of the New York Central Railroad and prevent an outbreak of violence which -theatens 100 alleged ‘strikebreakers.”

Leadership Split Widens as Election Date Is Set; 10 Are Arrested.
By United Press BERLIN, June 18.—Tension increased notably todav between Nazi authorities and opposition leaders in the Evangelical Church as the day approached for an election of a church government. Division became complete when the Rev. Martin Niemoller, an outstanding ‘leader in the opposition movement, charged that practically all leaders on his side had been “put out of action,” that hope for a free election was dissipated, and that “only enemies of the church have a free hand.” At the end of his statement, made at a church meeting last night, uniformed members of the Hitler youth organization tried to storm the church, shouting ‘Germany awake!” Doors of the church were closed against the Nazis. When the congregation left, there were arguments outside between supporters
of the Nazi authorities and oppositionists. Police dispersed the crowd and arrested 10 persons.
Two Attorneys Arrested
A prominent legal expert of the opposition movement and another church attorney were arrested last night by secret police. Niemoller in his statement last night complained that secret police yesterday raided and closed the premises of the Fraternal Council of the Prussian Confessional (opposition) Church and ployees were arrested. Referring to arrests previously of five members of the council, Niemoller said: “It is rumored that the church election will take place June 27. But now practically all leaders of the Confessional Church have been put out of action. A supposedly free elecion has been converted into the opposite. Only enemies of the church

Taxpayers’ Group to Protest
$1.07 Levy tor School Budget
Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers Association secretary-manager, announced today that his organization would protest the Indianapolis School City budget when it is considered by the State Tax Board. | A rate of $1.07 on each $100 of taxable property within the City has
been adopted by the School Board, and a public hearing on the $6,975,733
budget is to be held at 12:15 p. m. Monday in the School Administratip
offices.
Mr. Miesse and Chamber of Com- ¢
merce officials have said they may not protest the rate and budget in the Monday hearing. In former years, protests, in the main, have been lodged before the Marion County Tax Adjustment Board and the State Tax Board, the two reviewing bodies.
“I don’t know whether we’ll pro-, test the $1.07 tax rate at the meeting: but I do know it will be appealed to the State Tax Board,” Mr. Miesse said. “The budget is not worth the paper it’s written on. It is a joke.” School officials claimed in defense of the present rate that if the 1936-37 levy had not been cut from $1.11 to $1.07, the new rate could have been set at $1.01. An emergency appropriation, for
$3,005,533.20, to pay the last half of 1937 also is to be considered at the Monday meeting. || Following the hearing and final approval of the budget and emergency appropriation, contractssare to be -mailed to 2000 City schgol teachers. The contracts are to be placed in the mails next week. according to A. B. Good, businéss director.
