STEEL CHALLENGE
Of n. R. A. IS SEEN
Legal Battle May Result in
Collapse of Talks for
Labor Truce.
BY the Associated Press.

As a result of the collapse of
negotiations for a steel labor truce,
observers foresee legal fight which
may find the United States Steel
Corp. carrying a challenge to the
recovery act up to the United States
Supreme Court.
The Steel Labor Board has issued
an order for elections to determine
collective bargaining representatives
at the Duquesne. Pa, and Mcdonald,
Ohio, plants of the Carnegie Steel Co.,
a subsidiary of United States Steel.
Steel oficials already had made known
they would not surrender pay rolls
for the purpose of making up eligi-
bility lists for such elections.
Act Held Unconstitutional.
When petitions for elections came
before the board, the corporation
contended the recovery act was un-
constitutional and that employees had
an opportunity to choose their repre-
sentatives at elections of officials of
the employe representation plan,
which American Federation of Labor
men call company union"
The order for the elections marked
the breakdown Of negotiations for a
six-month truce between the steel
leaders and the A. F. of L. steel
union. the Amalgamated Association
of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers. Union
leaders wanted majority rule" under
which representatives chosen by a
majority of workers would represent
all, while the Steel Corporation offered
to recognize the Amalgamated as rep
resenting its members if demands for
elections were dropped.
Desired Truce Not Reached.
The White House recently took a
hand in the negotiations, but the de-
sired truce could not be reached.
Charlton Ogburn, counsel to the
Amalgamated, called on U. S. Steel
officials TO carry out their promise
made last Summer to the steel board
to cooperate with the board"

Mrs. Katherine Briscoe, 81,

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, January IA small
piece of metal was found last night
in the lung of Miss Katherine Briscoe,
81, member of an old Maryland family,
who died of a mysteriously inflicted
wound at her home.
Coroner Ferdinand c. Link described
the bit of metal as "a small lead sub
stance resembling a bullet"
X-ray photographs taken by Dr.
Howard j. Maldeis, city post-mortem
physician, revealed the solid particle
lodged in the middle of the right lung.
He said it would take some time to
determine exactly what the object was.
X-Ray Pictures to Be Taken.
Miss Briscoes brother, City Council
man Philander B. Briscoe, had an
nounced earlier he would have X-ray
photographs taken Of the body.
An exploding bullet or other sub
stance in the furnace had been ad-
vanced as possible causes of the mortal
wound Miss Briscoe suffered in the
cellar of her home yesterday.
Shortly after she had gone to stoke
the furnace Miss Briscoe assembled the
cellar stairs of her home, in an exclu-
sive residential section of the city,
and, pausing in hallway, said:
Something struck me in the chest"
Her brother law, Rear Admiral
William S. Pye, noticing that a
sweater she wore was stained With
blood, put pillow under her head as
she sank to the floor. Before a physi-
clan arrived she was dead.
Pyrite May Have Exploded.
One theory was that she was killed
by bullet
Coroner Link said it was possible
she had been struck by an exploding
pyrite in the furnace. Miss Briscoe
had put coal into the furnace a
minute before her death. No trace
Of explosives were found in the ashes
however.
Miss Briscoe had been in good
health and spirits, police were told
They were informed also that no shot
had been heard and no one had been
seen in the cellar. No weapon was
found.

EARTH HELD SOLE
ABODE Of HUMANS
Living Creatures Must Get
Oxygen From Rocks Bill
lion Years Hence.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
STAFF CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

PITTSBURGH, January 1.-The
earth alone in the vastness of the
solar system is the probable abode of
life.
Its two closest neighbors, Venus and
Mars, appear to represent the begin
ming and the end of the process
through which this world is passing,
according to the evidence presented
before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science here last
night by DR.. Henry Norris Russell OF
Princeton University in his presiden-
tial address.
The earth, however, Is probably a
billion years from the beginning and
at, least billion years from the desc
late ending, when. If any living crea-
lures remain, they must set up enor-
nous plants for the electrolysis Of
oxygen from rocks to keep the fires Of
life burning, Prof. Russell said.
Oxygen, he pointed out, is almost
identical with life itself and the other
planets, with the possible exception OF
Venus, show very little of it in avail
able form. In the beginning, DR.. Rus
sell explained, it is certain that the
earth was very hot and the gases
which formed its primitive atmos-
phere, their molecules excited to great
speeds of motion by the great tenn
perature, must have escaped to outer
space. This left globe with prac-
tically no atmosphere at all.
Oxygen Forced Out.
But all the time it was cooling and
solidifying. As its heavier elements
"froze," oxygen an dother gases were
forced out of them. But this time the
earth was cool enough so that their
molecules could not attain speeds
great enough to overcome the planet
gravity and escape. Thus the world
attained a new and permanent at
mosphere and the stage was set Tor
the coming Of life.
"The present rich supply of oxy-
gen." DR.. Russell said, appears to
be a by-product of terrestrial life 1t
self. The earth may be regarded as
an intensively vegetated planet from
whose atmosphere the greedy plants
extract the remaining residue of car
pOIl NlOh1QC 81 AdhAoAy SA-~S - -
not returned to the air by combus-
tion, respiration and decay the whole
supply would be exhausted in dec
ade or so. Oxygen removed from the
atmosphere by these processes Is
returned by the plants"
So none of the life-giving oxygen
actually is wasted by breathing and
Efa ,,,iuht On m forever except for
another, and unnoticed, phenome-.
non-the combination OF oxygen and
iron. AS iron compounds are exposed
to the atmosphere by such processes
as rock weathering they form conlbi-

turn it. In the billion-odd years dur
