Others of Commission to
Administer Ship Act Wr-
tuaIIy Picked.
$50 CANDIDATES OUT
FOR FIVE NOMINATIONS
Land, Johnson, Peacock, Schar-
renberg and Others Mentioned
for $4,000 Posts.
BY 7. A. FOX.

President Roosevelt practically has
decided on the makeup of the United
States Maritime Commission, which
will administer the new ship subsidy
act, and will make the appointments
upon his return to the Capital, 1t was
reported today.
Harllee Branch, Second Assistant
Postmaster General in charge of
ocean and air mail, is said to be a
definite selection.
Listed as likely are:
Rear Admiral Emory S. Land, chief
of the Bureau of Construction and
Repair of the Navy. a cousin Of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh.
Either j. M. johnson. Assistant
Secretary of Commerce. or ]. C. Pea
cock. director of the United States
Shipping Board Bureau, Department
of Commerce.
Other Possibilities.
Paul Scharrenberg of San Francisco,
who now is succeeding the veteran
Andrew FuruSeth here as legislative
representative of the International
Seamen's Union.
In this same category is a West
Coast shipping man by the name of
Griffith from Seattle. There is
Stanley A. Griffith, head of a steve
doring firm, there, but whether this is
the candidate under consideration was
not certain. At the Offices of Sen
ators Bone and Schwellenbach of
Washington it was said they had had
no correspondence that would link
him to the appointment.
One other possibility is reputed to
be Representative Edward Carlton
Moran. jr., Democrat, of Maine, who
Is not standing for reelection and
with whom the President conferred
last week at Rockland
There are something like $50 candi-
dates for the five places, but the i'm
preston is that the final choice will
fall in the group named.
Department Representation Desired.
President Roosevelt is represented
as being particularly desirous that the
Post Office, Commerce and Navy De.
partments be represented in the COM
mission, because of the logical interest
that the three would have in the
upbuiiding of a merchant marine
which would stand also as the nucleus
for a wartime shipping feet. The
Post Office Department tie-up is par
ticularly close, too, because of the
mail-subsidy features of the Jones'
White act, now to be displaced. and
the requirement for liquidating the
existing mail contracts by the end of
the present fiscal year.
Labor and industry representation
also is said to have been decided upon.
The commissionerships will pay
$4,000 annually, and the terms, at
the outset, will run from two to six
years, with one expiring annually, as
is the case with other commissions.
Succeeding appointments then will be
for the full six years. The law pro-
vides-as is customary-that no more
than three members shall be of the
same political faith. The act goes
into operation with the appointment
of the commission.
If, as seems certain, Branch goes
to the new commission, a vacancy will
be created in the official staff of the
Postmaster General, but. presumably.
no thought has been given to choice
of successor.

HENDAYE, France. July 22.-Loyal
Spaniards stormed the Biscay Bay
resort of San Sebastian with an army
of 1000 miners and with mountain

to oust a rebel occupying force.
UNITED States Ambassador Claude
G. Bowers apparently was a virtual

Control of the city was reported un-

A fusillade of shots was heard near
the frontier about noon. The French
side, however, remained calm. The
frontier was closed, but 80 French

their homeland under the escort OF
Spanish popular front delegates.
Returns With Force.
The civil governor, who fled when
the rebels seized the provincial cap
ital, returned this morning with the
army of miners which he had enrolled
overnight.
Other government forces, which
withdrew yesterday to Fort Guadalupe
overlooking San Sebastian, opened
artillery fire on the city.
The miners, serving as infantry,
stormed the street barricades under
the artillery barrage.
San Sebastian was held by two reg
tments of rebel soldiers.
A British consul, who crossed the
border into France to report to his
government, said:
THE control of the city is uncer-
tain. The rebels took it yesterday
and held it overnight, but this morn

They were abandoned under yes

defenses for the insurgents.
Vera, east of San Sebastian, still
was held by the rebels this morning.
Col. Luis de Villanueva, in charge of

BY JOHN &. HENRY.

BY JOHN c. HENRY.
The labor movement in America
was approaching an outright split to-
day with the likelihood that two dis
tinct organizations soon may be carry
ing the banner now flown by the
American Federation OF Labor alone.
Long convulsed with internal pains
because of the violent disagreement
between the craft and industrial
unionists, the Federation seemed
headed for a breakup as leaders of
these two factions contemplated de-
velopments of last night.
While interest thus was centering on
labor's factional strife, Philip Murray,
chairman of the Organizing Commit
tee of the A. F. of LIS Committee for
Industrial Organization, announced
that the membership drive in the steel
industry had been extended to take in
an additional 450000 employees in fab
ricating and processing plants making
steel products. This extension brings
to approximately 100000 the number
of workers now sought for union men,
bership.
At the same time Murray announced
that C. I. o. agents are investigating
reports that the steel companies have
been placing extra deputy sheriffs on
their pay rolls as a means of evading
legal obstacles in the way of forceful
defense against organization efforts.
Among last nights developments
was the issuance of a fiat refusal on
the part of the c. l. O. Ito submit TO
the jurisdiction of the Executive
Council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor" This defiance was in
terpreted at once and without cor
rection as a complete refusal to ap-
pear before the Council on August 3
for trial on charges previously ap-
proved by the Council.
And so strongly worded was the c.
I. o. announcement that the door to
any peace efforts between now and
August 8 was Believed firmly slammed.
Later. the fortnight and belligerent
John L. Lewis. chairman of the c. ].
O., declared he didn't even know there
was door.
Alllance Cnarge Repeated.
The refusal, challenging the coun-
ellis rights to summon the committee
members, and accusing it again Of an
unholy alliance with the American
Iron and Steel Institute, was con-
tained in a two-and-one- -half-page
letter directed to william Green. presi-
dent of the A. F. of L. unions. With
mimeographed copies available be-
fore the C. I. O. meeting yesterday
afternoon really adjourned. it was
obvious that the ultimatum had been
prepared in advance and brought into
the session only for the signatures of
those attending. The signed copy
Immediately was dispatched to Green
by messenger.
Later, Green acknowledged receipt
of the document with a counter
charge that it was "a speech for prop
aganda purposes"
In a formal statement, he said:
This statement is accepted as
refusal to meet with the Executive
Council of the American Federation
of Labor on August 3.
"The answer filed can more appro-
priately be interpreted as speech
for propaganda purposes rather than
a direct reply to the invitation of
the executive council to meet and
answer the charges filed.
The right and power of the execu-
tive council to act in the premises
and to deal with an emergency such
as never before existed within the
Federation of Labor will be passed
upon and determined by the executive
