STEEL DEADLOCK
AGAIN THREATENS
President May Be Forced to
Use Powers Under
Labor Act.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new deadlock threatened today in
the steel dispute. There appeared to
be a possibility that peace powers
Congress has just granted President
Roosevelt may have to be used.
Secretary of Labor Perkins, to whom
the President has given the task of
averting a strike. studied the latest
proposals OF management and unions,
said to be in conflict on the vital
point of collective bargaining.
Union leaders looked to Mr.. Roose-
velt's authority to name peace
board as a possible means of settle
ment If negotiations now in progress
fail The President signed the bill
extending him this power late yester-
day
The developments mean we'll have
peace in the. industry. at least tenn
porarily." Michael F. Tighe, president
of the steel union, said after long
conference yesterday with Miss Per-
kins.
How long it will last. 1 can't say"
Unions Desire Action.
Some observers interpreted his re-
marks to mean local union leaders
might chafe under prolonged nego-
tiations
So-called "left-wingers" in the
union already have shown indications
that they don't like much talk with
out definite decisions.
Both the union and management
have placed their newest cards on
Miss Perkins table
The union suggested a three-man
board to settle disputes. Management
also is believed to have proposed such
a board The principal difference was
understood to be that the union in
sisted on majority rule after the board
holds plant elections. while the en-
ployers held out for proportional rep
reSentation.
Under the union plan. if an elec-
ton showed most of the employees fa-
vCred the union as their representa-
tive for collective bargaining, the
union would represent all employees.
Under the management plan. each
faction would have representation of
its own.
Would Divide Workers.
Thus, by management proposal. If
so per cent voted for the union af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor. the remaining 40 per cent
still could be represented by a COM
pany union if they desired.
Company unions and charges of
discrimination against A F. of l.. men
have been the chief grievances OF the
union workers. The steel operators at
one time fatty said they would not
deal with the American Federation
group-that their employe representa-
ton plans gave the privileges of col
lective bargaining in accordance with
the recovery act.
The President expressed hope that

But their motive kept them at It,
night after night.
Late last night three youths jerked
open the door Of their car and leveled
revolvers.
Get out and give US your money.
The girls don't need to be afraid. This
is just a stick-up."
Pillows were flung from the officers
and strong hands gripped automatics
as two of the three surrendered and
the third fed with bullets whistling

GOLD ABROGAT|ON
FOR BONDS UPHELD
Federal Judge Rules Obliga-

Currency.
Rv the Associated Press


ST. LOUIS. June 20-Federal legis-
lation abrogating the gold clause" in
about 500, 900 100000 of bonds, pay
able in the United States. was upheld
by Federal District Judge Charles B.
Faris in a decision today.
Judge Faris ruled that all obligations
containing the gold clause may be paid
at face value in currency.
The decision was given in a suit by
the Bankers Trust Co. of New York,
trustee for S34 .54e, 900 issue of Iron
Mountain Railroad bonds, which con-
tended Congress had no right to de-
clare payment in gold against public

Concluding 3l-page decision,
Judge Faris said:
And so it follows, that public reso-
luton 10 (by which Congress abro-
gated the gold clause) is in my
opinion valid; that the gold clause is,
therefore, unenforceable in the ulti-

Admiral Says Larger Navy in East

NEW YORK, June 20 P).-Rear
Admiral William V. Pratt pointed to
Japar's claim for an increased naval
ratio today as a factor that will not
further the purposes of peace"
Asserting that desire for equality
and security do not justify such an
increase. Admiral Pratt said, however,

that claim is recognized there viii re-

The naval expert, adviser to the
American delegation at the 1881 Lon
don Naval Conference, wrote in the
Quarterly Review on the prospects of
the 1885 Naval Conference.
He advanced five reasons for Japan
to remain at the bottom of the present
5-5-3 ratio between the powers:
Bee ause she does not have to cover
the world as does England, she does
not have two great ocean fronts as
does the United States, as a neutral

l. Japan is confident of a sufh-
