Motors Co., at Racine, Wis, the threat
OF another suspension of work by tool
and die makers employed in job shops
vas revealed by Matthew Smith, gen.
eral secretary of the Mechanics Edu-
cational Society of America.
It was this organization that direct
ed the strike of tool and die workers
in the automotive industry last Fall
and seriously handicapped re-tooling
operations for the new model output.
Demand Wage Increase.
While the present controversy, in
volving a demand for a 20 per cent
wage increase and a 36-hour, 5-day
week, centers in the job shops, Smith
said it would affect Immediately the
entire automotive industry by slowing
up production.
He said that unless a reply from
job-shop owners is received by Satur-
day morning a strike vote will be

set for next Monday night.
Smith said that during the past six
years the jobbers have been paying
IS to 10 per cent higher wages be-
cause of the general insecurity Of the
Jobs. Now they are paying Is per
cent less than the big plants. This Is
the discrepancy We wish to adjust"
Frederick j. Haynes. general man.
ager of the Automotive Tool q DIE
Makers Shop Association of Michi-
gan, said that the only disposition OF
the tool and die industry is to be fair.
We want time to consider the de-
mands; that is all there is to It,

ployes of the Motor Products Corpor-
alton went out on strike at the Mack

though police reserves were sent to
the plant, company officials said there
had been no disturbance.
The officials said that up until the
time of the walkout. no definite de-
mands had been made by the en-
ploves.
The strike is the latest of several at
the plant during recent weeks. but
officials said that most of them lasted
only q few hours. Union recognition,
wage increases and improved work.
ing conditions have been the issues in
the disagreements.
Lawrence Meyer. union official said
that more than 1000 employees had
walked out because the corporation
had refused wage increases and has

WIDOW OF STEEL
MAGNATE EXPIRES
Mrs. Ebert H. Gary, Famed
Hostess, Dies After
Long Illness.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 5-Mrs. Ebert
H. Gary, widow Of the steel magnate,
died at 9 o'clock this morning at her
Fifth avenue residence after a pro-
longed illness.
Mrs. Gary, the former Emma Town.
send, was the second wife of the steel
man. who she married in 1905, three
years after the death of his first wife.
AT the time Of their marriage, ne
had been identified with the United
states Steel Corporation for four
years. Mrs. Gary's most important
role was as hostess at the famous
dinners she and her husband gave
when he was at the peak of his career.
After his death in 1927, she lived
quietly In their Jericho, Long Island,
home and in an upper Fifth avenue
apartment.
She was a meticulous housekeeper.
Her servants were carefully checked
in and out of the building, and every
morning report on their movements
was slipped under her door.
One reason for such care was the
great value Of the furnishings and art
treasures in their home. The Gary
gold dinner service alone was reputed
to be worth s5oo,ooo. They also
owned a less valuable but larger silver
service.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gary had no children,
although Mr.. Gary had two daughters,
Mrs. Gertrude Gary Sutcliffe and
Mrs. Bertha Gary Campbell, by his
first wife.
In his will Mr.. Gary gave some
advice to his wife and daughters
about handling the huge fortune
that he left them virtually intact.
He advised them not TO sign a bond
for any other person. to make loans
on nothing but first class security,
to avoid untried investments, and to
reject any investment advice about
which they were in doubt.
In the apartment building where
Mrs. Gary spent her last few years
lived many of her friends-men and
women who frequently had been en-
tertained at the steel magnate's home.
Funeral services will be held at
1880 o'clock Saturday morning at
Mrs. Gary's apartment, S56 Fifth
avenue.

There was not chance of the oper-

thing for the Government to do was
to step In and bite them.
There is no intention of imposing
codes on other industries. You can
accept that as a private promise from
the old bird herself.
Millers Not Seeking Fight.

ed found alive today, the only sur
vivor of an airplane crash on March

The report Of the discovery was
made officially by the Bolivarvalle de-
partment.
1t was said that five bodies were
found in the cabin of the airplane. in
the Won Krohn of the Scadta Airline.
Report Is Confusing.
There was confusion here over the
reported finding of Marshall alive and
five other occupants of the plane
dead. for on March 10, when the
plane took off on a flight in the
wild Choco district Of Western Co.
lombia, it was reported to be carry

A large shipment of gold also was
supposed to be on board the plane
For many days after the plane dis
appeared military commercial craft
went up in search of it. but nothing
was found and the aerial search
finally was abandoned.
The region is mountainous and
filled with heavy jungle growth. max
ing land travel extremely difficult.
At the time of its loss the plane
was on a flight between Quibdo and
Cartago. It was travelling in the
the Great Choco mining area, where
gold and platinum often is trans
ported by airplane.
Found by Indians.
Marshall was said to have been
found alive by a party of Indians
searching for treasure.
They said Marshall was extremely
weak and had been forced to leave
the smashed plane because Of the
sanitary conditions resulting from the
deaths Of his companions.
He had wandered, it was reported,
through the dense jungles ever since
March 10.
1t was said that the plane was not
completely destroyed and that it still
contained the large gold cargo which
had been destined for the government
mint at Medellin.

Certain Government operatives in
the N. r. A. were talking over that
very matter recently among them
selves. An outsider sat in on their
gabfest, listening to them argue about
how they might jockey certain
industry into accepting the Govern
ment's terms.
Finally the outsider suggested:
why don't you just offer the
best terms possible, and if the
industry does not accept, tell them
to 90 to help"
YES" replied a Government
agent, but after you tell them to
90 to hell, then whdt do you do?"
That is the fundamental situation
The Government does not want a
fight; it wants a code. 1t has the
power to impose codes and to license
industries. but every one knows such
action would bring on a national
fight over the N. r. A. to the bitter
end.
Neither side wants to get near the
bitter end just yet.
Will Renew Licensing.
Despite all reports to the contrary,
the Government Is going to ask Con-
gress to renew the licensing provision
of the N r A.. 1t expires in June.
The licensing power never has been
used. There is no intention that 1t
shall be Yet it has been a good
weapon in the hands of the Govern
ment for haggling purposes. The
hagglers do not want to lose 1t.
Even those in the administration
who opposed the provision in the first
place now are convinced the N. r. A.
should keep the weapon.
Brain Trust Still Safe.
There is a lot of backstage talk
about some Of the mugwumps, brain
trusters, or Anthony advocates get
ting requests soon for their resigna-
tions from Government services.
That possibility was mentioned
BY an influential administration
authority recently in a priUate
conversation. He Das talking more
for effect than in seriousness.
Nothing DiH be done about it.
The effect will be that the boys
