BRITISH CABINET UNABLE TO AGREE
Members Differ on Their Naval
 Needs

London, July 27 R,-Diveregnces
 of opinion respecting British cruiser claims, either between two sections of the cabinet or between the cabi-
 net and the admiralty, are said in political quarters to be the real cause delaying the return to Geneva of the two chief British delegates to the naval reduction conference, w. c. Bridgeman and Viscount Cecil.
 unconfirmed reports say the diver gencies, apparently are due to a keen desire on the part of the cabi- the conference by some compromise which might meet American objec- tions to the British case, while on the other hand the admiralty off, cials are immovable from their alarm for the safety of British trade routes.
 There was general interest today in the statement, on the British posi- ton, which it was announced after a meeting of the cabinet yesterday, would be made in parliament by Sir Austen Chamberlain. the foreign secretary, either Wednesday or Thursday.
 The Daily Express says in an edl- torial:
 "The British people would not care a button If America built a fleet five times as strong as the Brit ish, for they regard an Anglo war as impossible and un- In estimating the naval strength for safeguarding trade routes, the British people never take into account the American navy, which to them is possible friend which will be of whatever size and power American interests demand or congress can be induced to sane tion."

Summer Hardware Trade
 Continues Quite Good

New York. July 27-Summer busi- ness continues strong in the whole sale hardware markets. according to reports from important trading cen- ters, Hardware Age will say tomor- row in its weekly hardware market summary. If present activity con- tinues through August this summer volume will probably establish rec ord for many wholesalers. The late- ness of the spring has contributed largely to this condition. Summer resorts complain of slow business, which suggests that many people are spending their holidays fixing up their homes. This is partly true, as dealers find an active demand for paints. screen hardware, tools and such items among houseowners.
 Staple hardware Hines are in ac- tive demand. Prices generally are firm. Fall prices have been an- nounced on many lines, but show little or no change. Early orders for fall goods are reported as being light at the present time. August is expected to see the. start of this trade. Collections continue to show some improvement.

NtY Yort's Car Riding Public ,sa. Breathe Easier

New York. July 27 R-Freed oi immediate threat of transit strike New York's travelling millions breathed more freely as they ride to work today.
 The threatened strike, which last midnight was to have tied up all New York's subway and elevated systems, was called off last evening after q series of conferences be- tween Mayor James J. Walker and officials of the union and the com panies.
 4 difference of opinion in the . terms of settlement was seen today as tending to cause further possible trouble.
 James H. Coleman, general or ganizer for the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Street and Electric rail- way employees, hailed the settlement as a victory for the union and said 1t established virtual recognition of his organization, which was the main contention in the controversy.
 James L. Quackenbush. general counsel for the Interborough Rapid Transit company. denied, however. that any recognition of the union had been agreed upon. He said the only concession made by his con- pany was the reinstatement of 13 men discharged earlier in the day for refusing to instruct new men in the. operation of trains and for at tending a meeting of the Amalga- mated. '- --..
 The union officials announced the settlement gives them the right to Ego right ahead organizing" but Mfr. Quackenbush asserted "the 'Amafgamated will break its promise if It attempts to organize the Inter- borough employees and will cause a renewal of the situation"
 Tho mayor said the companies had agreed to reinstate any man dis charged because of sympathy or membership in the Amalgamated and not discriminate against him in the future. The labor leaders, he said, agreed not to discriminate against any member of the company union and to recommend the strike be called off.
 The settlement came as surprise at . time wlen strike appeared Inevitable. Three previous efforts of the mayor to effect a settlement had failed. 5...

STEEL AND MOTORS
 LEADING STOCKS
Community of Interest Between
 the Two

| New York. July 27 P-A direct
 community of interest between the
 United Steel Corporation and Gen.
 eral Motors Corporation, Americas
 two largest industrial units was
 visioned today by New York news
 paper commentators.
 The F. I. Du Pont De Nemours interests already dominant in Gen. eral Motors, are reported in Wall street circles to have been quietly buying heavily of United States Steel common, their holdings &C., auired in the past few weeks alone being placed by stock exchange brokers at approximately 114,000 shares.
 Semi-annual statements issued yesterday by both the General Mo- tors and the U. s. Steel show the former concern continues to hold its position of undisputed leadership among industrial and railroad cor porations of the world.
 General Motors reported net earn ings of $1Ss.25O,2O7 for the first half of 1927. United States Steel. it's nearest competitor, reported total earnings of s91,625,1S5 for the same period.
 Having become large holders of United States Steel common, the Du Fonts as their next move, it is un- derstood by financial commentators. will seek representation of the steel corporations board of directors.
 That this will be accomplished with the acquiescence of the steel corporations Morgan and First Ma tional bank affiliations. Wall street believes. goes without saying, as the latter are closely identified with the fortunes of General Motors, both on it's directorate and finance commit tee.
 With Du Pont interest dominating General Motors and quietly buying United States Steel common. time will be short, Wall street commenta- tors say, when there will be some kind of utilization between the three corporations, although a direct mer- ger is highly improbable.
 Pierre Du Pont, chairman of the General Motors board, is mentioned as the most probable representative of the steel corporations directorate from the Du Pont interests.
 If Mir. Du Pont is seated as di- rector of United States Steel, ru- mors are that he will be elected chairman of the steel corporations board on the retirement of Ebert H. Gary.
 Other Wall street rumors have Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of General Motors, leaving his present birth to take post with the steel corporation. to put himself in train- ing to succeed MT. Gary.

Noted Stage Star Now Occupying
 Honeymoon Cottage

Hollywood, Cal, July 27 R - Eva Tanguay, who for decades has been famous as a singer, dancer and vaudeville comedianne, occupied honeymoon cottage" here today with Alexander Brooke, her accom- panist. .N
 The marriage of Miss Tanguay and Brooke, who is known on the vaudeville and concert stage as Allen Parade. was disclosed only yesterday, although it took place last Friday at Al Hambra, Cal. The marriage license. which was un- earthed by newspapermen, gave Miss Tanguay's age as AS and that of her husband as 30.
 Trouble was encountered in con- firming the identity of the two. When the honeymoon bungalow was called by telephone a woman who admitted she was Miss Tam quay answered it, but when asked about the marriage. cut off the conversation with sharp bang of the receiver.
 The honeymoon house finally capitulated to the reportorial at- tack. however.
 "Mr. and Mrs. Parade at home" was the greeting she gave inter viewers last night. T only wish everybody could have a boy as nice as mine. He's just regular lump of gold. that's all."
 T left the concert stage to go into vaudeville" said Brooke with his arm around his bride, but it is all worth while now that I have Miss Tanguay."
 Miss Tanguay had been married once before to John Cord, dancer. That marriage ended in a divorce. Last January. she announced she would wed Parade
