 However, It was also learned that even if the committeedid bring in a favorable report on the measures they might not be passed by the House this time as they were some weeks ago when enough republicans joined the democrats to put them across. It was learned that the re- publicans were being whipped into line to defeat both bills.

 Republics plant in South Chicago still was operating, and, to enforce an order against mass picketing, police arrested 27 men early today and held q of them for investiga- ton. One was John w. Rife, South Chicago SWOC director. Inside the plant were 1000 men, 600 of whom were work, 400 sleeping on cots pro- vided by the company. Company officials said the men had signified that they did not want to strike and because Of them they would be fed and lodged as long as the strike continued. The plant normally em- ploys 2,000 men.
 At Republics Buffalo plant, 3,2OO workers were on strike, and 500 pickets patroled in relays. The union charged to police that the company had machine guns and tear gas stored in the plant, and asked for protection. Fifty police men were assigned to keep order.
 Directed by Murray
 -The strikes were directed by Philip Murray, chairman of the Steel Workers organizing committee, from Youngstown, and Van A. Bittner, the committees region director, from Chicago. Bittner had announced that every plant of the three com panies ''in the United States" would be closed, but Murray said later that only northern plants would be af- fected immediately.
 Murray and other union officials issued charges of intimidation against all companies, particularly Republic. Murray charged that Re- public had loaded its mills with guns" and was "instituting policy of mass persecution"

Culhane Victory

Senator George T. Culhane scored a victory yesterday when the ap- propriationS committee at an exe- cutiye session voted to increase the amount paid by the state to hospi- tals for charity patients from A Q week to $8. At the same time the committee set up an item or $39.00C for St. Mary's Hospital and $18,00C for the Waterbury Hospital for the coming biennium. These are the same amounts the Waterbury insti- tutions received for the present biennium.
 The Senate, however, retained on the calendar today the bill, which Senator Culhane also opposed transferring authority for the ap- propriations from the governors of- flee to that of the Public Welfare Council.

The Request Of tn" Greeks ap-

ambition. The Greeks were resi-
dents of peighmoring cities or per
haps natives of Greece Itself.
Their anxiety to see Jesus grew
on, of an interest which was more
than curiosity. yet les than devo-
ton. Most likely their precise
motive was TO have Jesus now SO

ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH
LOVE John l2l

The Reply Of Jesus unVelied the
supreme achievement through
love. The inQuirerS had thought
him ambitious of establishing a
Glorious earthly kingdom and
hereby implied that they would
consider the question of carrying
out his designs. But he aspired TO
a far different glory and the con-
summation of il was just at hand.
The method OF attaining that glory
was not by swaying n worldwide
scepter but by dying a lonely end
ignominiouS death. Think of the
wheat-grai ntaken from security
in the granary; cast out int othe
damn earth. soaked by the rains
and chilled by froStS; living in its
loneliness to decay and die; but
out of it's death there energies a
New. n multiplied. more perma-
nent and more glorious life. Thus
in the mind of Jesus the vision OF
empire sinks out of sight before
the vision of the wheat-grain. BY
diving he could accomplish more
than by living; for life would
make him only a Jewish philoso-
Dher while death made him the
worlds Saviour. In material things
gaining is so soon followed by
losing that such II life is 10 be
hated and lost in our eager grasp
of the life which is eternal. They
who serve and folio wChrist will,
not he without their rich reward,
first in the cOmpanionship Of
Jesus, and then in the approval
of the Father.
ASSURANCE FOR LOVE
(John 12)
The Voice of the Father gave
assurance and approval to the
highest act of love. Indeed, di-
vine approval rang out of heaven
in thunder tone. Rejected by his
own nation, misunderstood by 9TH
ers, mt yet fully comprehended BY
his most loyal disciples, and fac
ing a most dreadful death, surely
Jesus could say in saddcst accents
that his soul was troubled. His
agitation could relieve itself only
in the burning utteraEce of a
