PITTSBURGH, June IA 1.NSO .
With the eyes Of the nation TO-
cused upon them, more than 200
delegates Of the Amalgamated AS
sociation Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers assembled in the Elks'
Temple here today to discuss the
labor crisis which threatens to re-
suit in q business-paralyzing steel
strike.
Michael r. Tighe, president Of
the Amalgamated, called the con-
vention' to order at 11:15 a. m.
The session was executive and the
press was barred.
No Word From Capital
Mr.. Tighe said he had received
no word from anybody in Wash
ington regarding the Roosevelt
Administrators proposed new leg
islation to meet the crisis.
Mr.. Tighe, a conservative
leader, sidestepped answering q
question as to whether he expect

mated-the so-called rank and

Asked If there were any last

merely smiled and declined to

An argument between o con-

Thirty-Second St. N. w. resulted in
q riot call.
The argument concerned an in
crease in wages between S. A.
Reid, the carpenter, and F.. D. Phil
lip, the contractor. There were no
fiSticuffS, however, and police left
the scene as the carpenter re-
turned peacefully to work.
Violence Flares
Violence flared yesterday when
three carpenters were beaten
while working on the Church OF
Reformation, in the 200 block OF
East Capitol st.
The carpenters went on strike
May / for $1.37K an hour and a
six-hour day. Two peace proposals
offered by contractors were voted
down.
All chances Of an amicable ter
mination of the strike were thrown
to the winds last night when Will
liam L. Hutchinson, president of
the carpenters international or
ganization, informed CommiS-
Sioner Allen that his men would
remain pat on their original stand.
Mr.. Hutchinson was the only
person authorized to call off the
strike. Local leaders Of the car
penterS are not empowered to ne
gotiate with contractors.
Hackers Warned
Taxicab drivers in various Sec
tions of the city were warned by
pickets not to haul carpenters
carrying tools. They were threat
ented with boycotts if they re-
fused to obey the request.
Pickets on the job today were
successful in many instances in
dessuading carpenters who had
come prepared for work. 1t was
estimated that at least half of the
carpenters who were willing to re-
turn to work for $l.10 were "sales
talked" out of their desires.

First Trust BondhoIderS Are
Expected to Make Some
Gesture on Seconds
BY International News Service

Possibility that the receivership
Of the Mayflower Hotel may be
terminated by some action of the
first trust bondholders to satisfy
the second trust bondholders was
suggested today before the Senate
District subcommittee investigat-
ing financing and proposed reor.
ganization of the hotel.
This was intimated by Paul E.
LeSh, attorney for the bondhold.
ers' committees, when the sub
committee was discussing a pro-
posal that its hearings be post
poned for q month.
PostpOnement Suggested
Senator Robert R. Reynolds
CD of North Carolina, suggested
that in view of the rush of husi-
ness on the floor of the Senate
during the closing days, it might
be best to postpone the hearing,
also with a view to permitting
attorneys concerned to develop
their material.
He said in view of the court
order issued Monday on appeal
from the second trust bondholG
erS that the sale date of the hotea
should be indefinitely postponed.
He said he thought there was no
necessity for speeding the sub
committee hearings.
Mr.. Lesh, however, pointed out
that he did not want the Subcom-
mittee to feel that he would not
be acting in good faith If he
should find a way to have the
receiversip terminated meanwhile.
He said there might be way
found to satisfy the second trust
bondholders and thereby have the
court set a date for ending the
receivership during the interim.
Hearing To Continue
The hearing was then continued,
and Mr.. Lesh, in answer to ques-
tions, contended of the bond
holders committees those who
wished to dissent had been given
opportunity to do so and every
chance to understand the pro-
posed reorganization plan.
