CONFERENCES
SPEED STEEL
SHOWDOWN
Settlement of the Intraunion
Disputes and WaIkout
= Threat Advanced
BY International News Service


An early showdown, both on the
question of calling a general steeI
strike and on intra-union disputes
among steel leaders, moved appre
Gladly nearer today as the result
Of a busy morning Of conferences
in the Capital. Outstanding de
yelopments we're:
/. recovery Administrator
johnson conferred with Eugene
Grace, Bethlehem Steel Corpo-
ration head, seeking a common
ground for settlement Of the
threatened walkout.
2. Unsuccessful in their ell
forts to see the President, the
steel union rank and file COM
mittee was tactfully shunted to
the Department of Labor.
Tighe in Conference
! 8. At the department the rank
and file leaders found that Mike
Tighe, conservative president OF
their union, already had been
in conference with Secretary OF
Labor Frances Perkins.
4. Immediately at the conclu-
sion Of that CONFERENCE.-THE at
the behest of Tighe-the rank
and file leaders agreed to an
executive session with Tighe and
other international officers. This
conference got under way at
once, with Edward F. McGrady.
Assistant Secretary of Labor,
presiding. ...
S. Secretary Perkins revealed
that, another meeting, also sug-
gested by Mr.. Tighe, may get
, under way late today. Mr..
Tighe, she said, had asked that
q joint labor Administration con-
terence be called in an effort
to avert the strike. The con-
! sentative leader suggested that
the confereeS should include
himself and another interna-
tional officer, Administrator
johnson, Secretary Perkins and
Senator Wagner CD of New
York, chairman of the National
Labor Board.
Nothing to Report
Asked if she planned to see
President Roosevelt in relation tc
the impending strike, Miss Per
kinS said:
There's nothing definite that
I can put before the President
at this time. Perhaps when the
Executive conference now in Ses-
sion adjOurns it is possible that
I may have some concrete infOr-
nation for Mr.. Roosevelt"
Earl j. Forbeck, chairman Of
the amalgamated convention com
mittee said that $500 men were
ready to move on washington the
moment negotiations to clear uE
the situation failed.
Board Doomed
Little hope was seen for General
Johnson's plan to establish steel
advisory board similar to that set
ND for the auto, coal and textile
industries. Both employer and
employe so far have been cold
toward the proposition. The
workers actually have Spurned
the offer. while the masters, in
their current Iron and Steel 1nsti
tute meeting, have given General
johnson no assurance they would

Steel Leaders Renew
Efforts to See President
By International News Service

Eugene Grace, president Of
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, was
closeted with Recovery Admins
traitor johnson here today as
committee of the so-called frank
and file" Of the steel workers
union, headed by William j.
Spang, renewed their efforts at
the White House to see President
Roosevelt and invoke his inter.
vention to avert the threatened
steel strike.
Mr.. Grace's visit, wholly unan-
nounced, was a complete surprise.
The steel leader announced in
New York yesterday that the
American Iron and Steel Institute
had made its position clear to
General johnson in a formal
letter, but declined to elaborate
on the miSsive's contents.
Union leaders apparently had
as little chance of an early con.
ference with the President as they
had yesterday when they were
shunted to a presidential Sesre.

Brief Visit
To Senate

Bearing a cane, a tennis racquet
and a package Of pamphlets, and
clothed only in a sheet, a man
who gave his name as w. H. God
dell today appeared in the Senate
gallery as a disciple of Mahatma
Gandhi.
He had barely taken a seat
when nattily dressed Col. Chesley
w. Jurney, sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate, came dashing into the
gallery and escorted him out Of
the chamber and through the tun-
mel from the Capitol to the Sen.
ate Office Building. He was later
released. and as he climbed into
taxicab, he called out:
II am the American Ghandi."

BANK PAY-OFF
PROVISIONS
IN DOUBT
ConfereeS Differ on Language
Guiding Asset Valuation
Under Measure

While a virtual agreement has
been reached on the Steagal
bank depositors' relief amend
ment to the deposit insurance
bill by the Senate and House
conferees, there were still some
differences expected to be adjusted
at today's meeting.
Conferees asserted after yester
days meeting that the Steagall
amendment provisions had been
settled, but reports on what
language was agreed upon varied
Question of Valuation
Some asserted it had been de
cided to permit the RFC to
either purchase or make loans
upon the assets of closed banks
appraised "in anticipation Of an
orderly liquidation over a period
of years."
This is virtually the language
of the Steagall amendment, ex-
cept that it vests power in the
RFC instead of the FDIC.
Other conferees contended
that the Steagall amendment has
been changed so as to provide
that the RFC be authorized to
make loans on the assets OF
closed banks, taking reasonable
s:curity.
It will not be until the con-
ferees write their report that a
definite knowledge Of which of
these interpretations shall prevail.
Both Claim Victory
Senate House confereeS
emerged from yesterdays session
each claiming victory concerning
this provision.
Conference members said that
today's meeting was to be given
over to a final study of the
measure, since they wanted ito
see in print what we have done.
Bank Examinations Raped

Clearing House Blamed
The Chicago situation which re

involving losses to more than one
million depositorS, he declared
was due to discrimination prac
ticed by the Chicago Clearing
House against outlying banks.

Says:

HOLLYWOOD, CAL. June 8.
Both sides in the steel con-
troversy seem anxious to strike.
Well, If they would only strike
just each other it wouldn't be
bad. Don't it look like there
ought to be some civilized way
of finding out what the emplOye
and employer owe each other.
The latest papers say that
it's up to the President now"
Is there anything difficult under

was a confusion of words. At first
the boys hating speech didn't re-
gister. 1t was still just a slice of I'M
reality. But when the confusion be-
gan to clear, she experienced a
direct sense Of something that was
almost anger. What right had he
to think that dollars matteled?
What eartly right? She wanted to
say, what difference does money,
even a million, make?" To say, "I'm

PANTY,
"And so you want to be my
sugar daddy? That's it,"
All at once the boys voice was a
!crescendo of feeling. Almost the
taxi driver could have heard what
he was saying, through the closed,
shatterproof front window. But
the taxi driver wasn't extraordin-
Iarily interested in this tall Pierrot,
in this slim, small page. He was
yawning, and wishing for coffee and
wheat cakes and fried eggs.
The boy said
II want you to marry me to-
morrow. | mean when it's actually
morning. I'd be afraid to wait-to
marry you in the ordinary way,
after an engagement and showers
and parties and a bachelor dinner!

you'd slip out of them. l wouldn't

was no mirth in her.
"You sound" she said, like A
millionaire! How do you get that
way?"
In his rumpled Pierrot suit, with
his jaw squarer than ever above the
detected ruff, the boy made answer.
His tone held a certain bewilder-
ment, a certain difidence.
II forgot" he said, that you
didn't know my name. Odd, isn't
it? To be arguing with a girl, try
ing to sell her your own especial

broke off. And Ellen, with some
thing akin to desperation, fought
for words to say. Not even the boy
laboring as he was under the spell
of a vast emotion, would ever reach
the depth that Ellen had reached!
1t was perhaps the very breathless
agony of those depths that made
Ellen realize how necessary it was
for her to talk. To say something
something brittle, if she must
that would fill this awful aching
gap.
She made what was probably the
hardest effort of her life to speak
calmly.
Better take me home, Tony
she said. And, yes, her voice was
completely steady. "And then 60

thing out. You've got to think it

FIFTH INSTALMENT

When she was opposite a wide
door, Ellen gave up the idea she
could longer resist. Slipping from
the arms that held her, she thrus,
one slender hand into a large
strong hand that clutched at it
eagerly.
Lets go!" she said jauntily. Al
least she tried to say it jauntily.
As she got her cloak from thu
room in which it was checked, a.
she powdered her straight little
nose, as she carefully Redeemed he,
lips, Ellen told herself that thi.
strange emotion she was feeling
must be suppressed. She also told
herself that she must walk care
fully. That she must remember that
she didn't even know the young
mans name, and that she wasn't
even interested in knowing it!
But she'd been twice around the
park in a cab with the young man,
still nameless, before she remem
bered that it was Sandy who had
taken her to the Six Arts Ball.
And who should, by all rights, have
been allowed to take her home from
it!
Three times around the park they
rode before they began to grow &C
customed to the wonder of it all.
For it wasn't a petting party, not
that! 1t wasn't the sort of thing
that Claire would have referred to
as 'pash." 1t was something less
easy to Understandable yet far
more simple-than a petting party
would have been. 1t was something
that couldn't be regulated with a
slap, with a sharp word, with a
jest!

make that comparison?

that Ellen jumped. She couldn't
help it.
"You haven't been drinking,
she questioned, on a
note that she tried to make cynical.

The boy answered.

he told her freely, mot now. We're

isn't the kind Of stuff that I say to
just everybody. T'm-Nm telling

"What do you know about life
times yours and mine?" she asked.
"How do you know you'd trust
even one day to a girl like me-a
girl who goes to an artists ball in
pants, short velvet pants! Do you
know who-what-I am? Well,
I'm a model by profession. You've

"How do l know" he queried
huskily. How does anyone know

sight. I've kidded about it. But I
didn't know what it meant. I didn't
know that it hit you like a disease"

suddenly to make the words come
