tween the Governor and Mr. Lewis The former said ‘he told the C. I. O

chief of his plan for a truce and Lewis assured him he would convey it to Mr. Bittner to

that Mr.

obtain the attitude of workers.

After a conference with Adjt. Gen. Elmer Straub, the executive said there was no more need for troops now than at any time since the five-

weeks old labor conflict began.

The Governor assured a committee representing the independent union of Inland that their best policy was

to “sit tight.” Building Trades Council representatives earlier had visited the Governor, eager for a steel strike settlement.

Charles Kern, state president, said

35 per cent of the membership in Lake County was idle as a result of the mill shutdown.

Inland Attacks S. W. 0. C. Methods

By United Press CHICAGO, June 29.—Hearing by

the National Labor Relations Board

of the point in issue in the seven-

state steel strike turned today toward a definition of the aims and methods of the Steel Workers Or-

ganizing Committee. : Counsel for the Inland Steel Corp. warned in an S. W. O. C. complaint as a violator of the Wagner Labor

Relations Act, sought to establish

the union as a “labor holding company.”

SS. W. O. C. witnesses, principally

Regional Director Van A. Bittner, denied the charge emphatically. The S. W. O. C., Bittner said, is the organizing and bargaining organization for the Amalgamated Associa-

tion of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers,

affiliate of the Committee for Industrial Organization. : Bittner was the principal witness in yesterday's first session of the hearing of the S. W. O. C. complaint. The hearing, if appealed,

may develop“into another court test

of the Wagner Act, on the issue:

“Does collective bargaining in good

faith require employers to sign contracts?” The S. W. O. C. called its seven-state strike to demand that four independent steel companies sign such agreements. It contended in its complaint that Inland showed “bad faith” and violated the Wagner Act when it refused its signature.

HOCKETT RECEIVER TO BE APPOINTED

Superior Judge Joseph Markey said today he would appoint a receiver for Paul A. Hockett & Associates, Inc, and the Central Invest1ent Corp. at 9:30 a. m. tomorrow. Appointment of a receiver was asked in a suit filed last Friday by Edwin Wismann, who charged the two companies were in danger of insolvency. He also charged that he lost. more than $6000 worth of securities he had invested in the companies.

CRAIG LEAVES HOSPITAL

Times Special LOGANSPORT, Ind, June 29.— Elmer Craig, Cass County deputy sheriff, wounded seriously May 26 by the Al Brady gang, has been dismissed from St. Joseph's Hospital. He was with Patrolman Paul Minneman, killed in the Brady attack.

| discuss the community chest move- | ment and the steel situation. : Earlier Miss Perkins said she was . | studying the possibility of further Federal efforts to mediate the strike. The Johnstown blasts, heard in a radius of 10 miles, occurred in the midst of a “back to work” movement, which according to the company had pushed operation to a normal basis despite the strike.

Heard After Midnight The first explosion, which occurred before midnight, cut a 36inch line from the Border Dam. The second blasted the 62-inch Quemahoning line which carries water

into the Franklin mill, one of the largest divisions of the Cambria works, where 15,000 steelworkers are employed. While two smaller lines to the plant remained open, the blasting of the two major lines caused such a severe shortage that operations were disrupted. Two hundred state troepers, part of the state army which enforced martial law here last week, were assigned to patrol highways and %o search all automobiles attempting to enter the city. The Steel Workers Organizing Committee, which called the strike against Bethlehem to force the company to sign a union contract, “deplored” the incident in a statement by strike leader James Mark. Mark, veteran official of the United Mine Workers of America who succeeded S. W. O. C. Subregional Director David Watkins as strike leader about 10 days ago, said: “This incident is very deplorable. I would like to co-operate in every possible way to find the perpetrators of.this deed. “I don’t know who is responsible. But I hope that the strikers did not do it.” R. E. Hough, assistant general manager, ordered all heat shut off in the eight-mile-long plant. It was said unofficially that operations would be halted for two weeks. The explosion followed a day of bitter outbreaks between strikers and nonstrikers.

Violence Is Renewed As thousands of employees passed through the 14 gates of the big plant yesterday, pickets increased their forces and violence was re-

newed after a week of comparative quiet. No disorders occurred during the six days of martial law, which was lifted by Governor Earle last Friday. Unofficial observers estimated that 9000 employees returned to work yesterday. Violence included the beating of two: workers and the smashing of windows in more tha a score of automobiles. :

The three men arrested at Warren were named by police as George -| Bundas, John Boraweicz and Arthur Scott, all described as strikers against the Republic Steel Corp. plant at Warren. They were charged with possessing explosives and held under $25,000 bail. Police said Hall had not been seen for 24 hours. Three explosions in the Warren area have punctuated the 33-day-old strike. The explosions occurred on a bridge near the center of town, on the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks and at a power line pele near the Republie. plant -at Niles. The power line explosion was the latest of the thiee bombings in the alleged campaign of terror and led to the arrest of the three men now in jail. '

to the estate, delivered the license and received $3. He keeps 50 cents, the rest going to the city. Preparations for the ceremony were virtually complete, except for the last-minute arrangement of flowers. Tomorrow 5000 white peonies and 2500 white lilies, set off by California woodwardie fern, will be placed in banks at the 14 windows, along the side walls of the altar and at the end of alternate pews. Clusters of lilies will flank the chancel. The green-and-white pavilion at Owls Nest where 1200 reception guests will be entertained was being decorated today. These guests will not enter the home itself, where a table for 40, including members of the two families, will be laid. The Pyles, Mrs. du Pont's family, and the Delanos, the President's mother’s family, will also be represented at the closed gathering.

340 to See Ceremony

Only 340 persons, whose names will not be given out, will witness the ceremony itself. . Col. Edward W. Starling, chief of the White House Secret Service, came here to arrange with C. C. |. Reynolds, superintendent of the Delaware State Police, for the arrival of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt tomorrow. The road to the little church has been closed to the public and guards posted to keep out ‘gate crashers.” ] Expected today were Mr. and Mrs. John Boetciger of Seattle, Wash., son-in-law and daughter of the President, and Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt of Ft. Wroth, Tex., his son and daughter-in-law. Already here are John Roosevelt, youngest son of the President, who will be best man, and Mr. and Mrs. James Roosevelt of Washington. Mrs. Boettiger will be matron of honor, and her husband, Elliott and James will be ushers. Yesterday's entertainment for the couple included a cocktail and a dinner party, before which young Roosevelt and Miss du Pont exchanged wedding gifts. Servants Give Floor Lamp

Among the more than 1000 gifts which have arrived at Owls Nest already was a floor lamp presented by the du Pont servants. The servants will have an honored place at the ceremony, the choir stall having been reserved for them. Miss du Pont continued to make a mystery of her wedding dress, asserting that the best wedding superstitions held that the bride should keep such things a secret. It is known, however, that it will be white, was made in New York and definitely did not cost a fortune. What her “something borrowed and something blue” will be, also was a secret. The “something old,” however, will be an ancient French prayer book, a gift from her mother.

Russia, the maximum penalty is only 10 years, while if a person breaks a piece of machinery and can’t prove his innocence, it means death,” Dr. Aschanhort declared. «If a Russian should get hit by an automobile and the machine would be wrecked, the victim might be shot at sunrise.”

State Owns People, Claim Referring to claims that communism is the enemy of capitalism, Dr. Aschanhort said: “Communism 1s capitalism. In Russia the State owns everything. Individuals don’t even own anything. > «The State even owns the people themselves . . . they can’t get out of the country without a special permit. “Communistic Russia has eliminated all sympathy for humanity and replaced: it with industry. I found two fundamental things In Russia. One is that a Communist is willing to die for his belief and the other is organized promotion of machinery.” Discussing personal lives of Russians, Dr. Aschanhort said: “I actually saw children straving. I visited a farm unit of 3500 acres which is run by a Government ‘farm leader’ and learned that the Government takes 50 per cent of the gross receipts from the farm, giving the workers 50 per cent. : “But I also found that out of the 50 per cent the workers get, all the expenses of the farm is paid and there is not enough left to keep them alive through the winter,

Brands Equality Claim False

“The claim of Communists that their system puts everyone on the same financial basis is not true. Workers only get as much as their labor. marks allow and if someone is not able to get enough labor credit he doesn’t get enough to eat. “If you're a lawyer in Russia you are automatically an employee of the Government. No one is allowed to run his own business. Women are given picks and shovels and sent out to work on the roads. “When children reach the age of 2 years, the Government turns them over to a Government nurse and the mother is put to work.” Dr. Aschanhort said all factories have their kitchens where workers are compelled to eat and pay one ruble a meal. “An average factory worker gets only 163 rubles a month. If you buy rubles from the Government you get one for 95 cents but you can get as high as 25 for $1 from people on the street.

Ruthlessness Is Charged “Russians have to buy everything from the Government and prices are high. The cheapest suit of clothes I found in any store window was 700 rubles. As a result, most ot the people are poorly clad. “Communism is a government of

“When I started to. leave the country, I was called to headquanters. A general told me they we ‘allowing me to return to America but warned me not to say anythin against the government.” Dr. Aschanhort said he heard a speaker in Moscow predict that within a very short time the “Governments of Great Britain and the United States would be overthrown.”

LAND LOAN BILL

PASSED IN SENATE!

Extends 31 Per Cent Inter-

est Rate Another Year.

By United Press. WASHINGTON, June Senate today passed and sent to the White House a bill extending the 314 per cent interest rate on Federal Lank Bank loans another year, despite opposition from President Roosevelt. The bill was speeded to passage because the present legislation fixing the 312 per cent interest rate expires tomorrow and the old and higher rate goes into effect at that time unless the new law has become effective. The bill, as sent to the White House, provides both for extension of the 3'2 per cent rate on land bank loans and a 4 per cent rate on commissioner loans. In addition, it provides for a 4 per cent interest rate on land bank loans during the fiscal year, 1¢39.
