WAR LABOR BOARD DENIES
 REQUEST OF BETHLEHEM STEEL

New York;. Dec S.-The National War Labor Board made @public here tonight an order denying the request of the Bethlehem Steel Conpany that the boards examiners be Withdrawn from the company's machine shops and that it be permitted to make the necessary arrangements of our work ing forces to meet the--new peace time conditions"
 The order, which was iinsthe form of a letter to E. G. Grace. president of the Bethlehem Steel Company, sign ed by William Howard Taft and Basil M. Manly. joint chairmsn of the board, took sharp issue with Mir Grace's statement that the company was unable to adopt the finding of the examiners in favor of the machine shop employees. "as it was prece6A by the cessation of hostilities."
 The board. ,etaTa eterized, his letter as 5tS refusal t6 Respect ths authority of theg War Labor Board which it was declared would continue. until President Wilson proclaimed the signing of the peace treaties, and in sisted that it's findings be carried out fully and promptly"
 MT Graces attitude. the board held. involved the good faith not only of the Bethlehem Steel Company, but of the government as well.
 Asserting that its. action in .assum- ing supervision of labor problems at the, Bethlehem plant resulted from representations of war, department of ffcials that conditions in the Bethle hem Steel Company were greatly en- dangering the successful prosecution' of the war" the board said it had
 "exerted every resource to- keep the men at work. Mir. Grace, t was said,
 personally approved a system of col
 lective bargaining which brought about greater industrial effort on the
 part of the workers s@gs
 'Yeu now. wish to repudjate that system of collective bargaining, the
