In the next half mile Yale picked up another length and crossed the mile mark with two length lead.
 With Howard P. Johnson, Mont clair, N. J., Yale stroke oar, setting a dazzling pace, the Yale crew went into the last half mile with two- length lead. At the point, the Har- yard crew raised its beat to 36 and came up rapidly to gain length and a half in the lst half mile.

(Continued from Page D few remarks of some of the pic- kets at the plant this morning 1t was apparent that many of them were resentful of what they describ- ed as the treatment" they were getting from some of the officers on duty. Tickets were wary of ques- tions put to them by reporters and the union organizers would make no statement.
 Bus With Workers
 It was stated today by organizers and pickets, that bus of the c. E. and L. Co. stopped for the first time today in front of the factory gate to let non-union girls into the plant. The usual bus stop is up the street from the main entrance to the plant.
 Following the session in city court today, at which time Gilda Russo and Marie Thibeau were given sus- pended sentences by Judge John McGrath in connection wits dress pulling Whcih took place yesterday near the plant, union organizers and committeeman said that detailed in- structions were given out to girls not to molest any of the non-un- ion workers with whom they were engaged yesterday in more or less "open fighting" We want peace as well as the company" said the committeeman today.
 No Conference
 Jerome LaVigne, plant manager told reporters today that there were no conferences scheduled. He said he had conferred with Nor gan Mooney, conciliator of the state labor department yesterday, but that he was not at liberty to di- vulge what has taken place. There is nothing I can really say" said MT. LaVigne this morning.
 Rodney Chase of the Chase Brass and Copper Go. also told the Dem- ocrat today that there were no new developments, as far as he knew in regard to the Noera situation. An announcement was also made at the union office that a specia session of the assembly of the Wa. terbury Brass Workers union, loca CIO affiliate engaged in the pres ent strike situation, would be held tomorrow at the union hall on Spen- cer avenue at two o'clock.
 For the present. insofar as devel- opments moved towards settle ment of the strike at the Buckle Co.,, there has been little done since the company agreed to sign g letter and the union, on the same day, refused the letter and wished to have the company sign con- tract or the original agreement which was put before the manage ment by the members of the com mittee.

ed. But inside the plant there wal scarcely any activity. The only men inside were those earlier per- mitted to pass through the state police guard to maintain the prop erty.
 Coal union leaders claimed that approximately 1000 miners were ir the city, Colonel Augustine Jane- way, who directed the enforcement of martial law and who withdrew al ' a. m. as military governor of the area, estimated the number al nearly 5000.
 The miners, in holiday mood marched through Johnstown streets to the IA mill gates with the pre- cision of an army. They were or- derly Most of them were from big commercial mines but few were employees of the captive" mines of Bethlehem Steel, where a "Sympa- thy" walkout was called over a week ago.
 Will Stop Everything
 "We1l stop everybody" was their shout as they lined up at the gates. Michael Degratto. president of the U. M. w. A. local at Culver, Pa, told them: Were not going to let the Steelworkers lose this strike. We can't afford to. It would be a terrible blackeye for the mine workers"
 Under the martial law pro- claimed by Governor Earle last week and an agreement with the com pany closing the plant under du- ress" Bethlehem had been allowed to keep 800 maintenance men in the mills and 160 in the struck "cap- tive" mines but the union had withdrawn it's pickets.
 Serious Mistake
 When Governor Earle yesterday declared that he believed the emer- gency had passed and ordered mar tial law discontinued, strike leaders protested that the executive made a serious mistake" and said reopen ing of the plant would bring 8 very unpleasant situation" They immediately called for resumption of picketing at the 2 o'clock dead line"
 UMWA locals in the district called meetings last night, at which the invasion" was decided upon. Coal union leaders said there had been no general order and that the movement was spontaneous.

of this matter, and admire your open and frank expression of opin- ion in dealing with it. It is a source of much qualification to us that you are in accord with the principles be- hind our plan and with our program for a popular vote on it. We are pleased to know that you are in favor of the establishment of a Merit System for the Civil Service of Waterbury if it can be conduct ed fairly. legally, and without un- due expense to the city. We can as- sure you that our committee had these aims in mind when they were preparing the proposed amendment to the city charter.
 The points raised in the objections you presented to the details of the administration of the plan deserve serious thought. We note, however, that your criticism appears to be based upon 8 preliminary draft handed you on May 19 for your ad. vance information. An examination of the final draft sent to you on June IS, after being presented to the Board of Aldermen at its meeting on June 2, will eliminate many ot the isues you have raised. Indeed, we feel sure that many, if not all, of your misgivings will be removed after a free and open-minded con- sideration of the actual amendment, section by section. This letter is hardly the place to go into them thoroughly, but we will endeavor to discuss them fully before the ques- ton is put to popular referendum. Our only comment at this time is that the instrument we have pre- sented is closely patterned after well tried and successfully working models, rendered available to US by the National Civil Service Reform League. This organization has for over fifty years been gaining fact ual experience in civil service ad- ministration in municipalities throughout the naton and has aided in getting many of them started. That this whole question has long since developed into practicality is shown in the fact that 407 American

cities are now operating under it, for the welfare of a citizenship numbering approximately ten mil- lion.
 Ae you are perhaps aware, our or- ganization is strictly n0n-partisan, and the organizations we are offil- iated with have worked for civil service in states and cities regard less of the parties in power. It is our hope and wish that the question in Waterbury will be decided on its merits and that it will not be made a party issue. Our efforts to put this charter amendment on the vot- ing machines for referendum, ra- ther than to be in the platform of any political party or to be urged at the State Assembly, are in &C., cord with this policy.
 In order that there may not be any misunderstanding of the peti- tion we are circulating, we wish to say that the signing of this petition should not be regarded as necessar- fly pre-judgment of the proposed amendment. A voter may sign the petition and vote mo" on it at the next election, or he may refuse to sign or never be offered the oppor- tunity to sign, and later vote "yes." The required number of signatures does not make the civil service sys- tenn effective; 1t merely gives the voters a voice in the matter at the next city election. We have made this clear from the very beginning. Without this question being on the ballot, the voters are denied an op- portunity even to record their pre- ference in the question. We feel, as you do, that the utmost publicity should be given the proposed law, and that all the voters should have an opportunity to study its provi- sions before they vote next October. Yet there is nothing unfair about asking voter to sign petition that will give him a chance to make up his mind later regarding the question involved. Naturally it would be impractical for us at this stage to contact all voters or go to the expense of printing and dis tributing forty thousand copies of IIlc pIOJOocQ dHIcilQIIlcLlb WLlcll IlO action has ben taken by the official authorities that definitely assures the question will be put to popular referendum. When 1t is certin that the question will be put to the vot- CTS, our committee will use it's ut- most efforts in making public the exact provisions of our proposal.
 have no objection if copies of your letter to me are furnished the press, as strongly favor giving the electors all views on any important public question. Tn return, feel sure that yo will have no objection to copies of my reply being given to the same agencies.
 We fully realize that no law can be satisfactory unless it has popular support, and it shall be our endea- vor to gain that support. If our present effort should be rejected by the electorate, we will not cease our efforts for the Merit System, but will earnestly strive to create public understanding and approval as we join you in hoping for a Civil Serv- ice System that will be of lasting benefit to our city.
 Respectfully yours,
 JOHN B. GOSS.

TO REMEDY ERROR
 IN PUBLIC WORKS

Hartford, Conn, June 25-(UP)- Arrangements were being made to- day to remedy $40,000,000 error in drafting of the bill creating the state public works department by "coop- eration" between that department and the state highway department.
 The error in the bill, according to Attorney General Edward J. Daly, transferred the "real assets" of the highway department to the public works division, a transfer amounting to $40,000,000.
 Rather than create a chaotic situ- ation, it was understood Daly would bring together Public Works Direc- tor Robert A. Hurley and Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald to

r s.p (Continued from Page D economy which he has sponsored since his first election to office in 1880.
 Quick interpretations of the gov ernor'g statement were:
 That the governor might provide for the special appropriations amounting to nearly $2,000,000 a year, by slicing from departmental budgets.
 That he would carry out his threat to veto nearly alp of the special appropriations in addition to pruning the maintenance budget of $100,Oo0,0O0 which was approved by the house on the final day of the session.
 That projects provided for by the general assembly without appro- priations would be held up until the money was in hand.
 That there would be severe shakeup i'll departmental perSonnels, using the merit system as lever to crack down on excessive overheads.
 That there vii be a severe scru- tiny of all allotments and that ap- propriations would be made only after departmental acquisitions had been submitted itemizing antici- pated needs.
 Although the governor mentioned he had signed number of special appropria tions bills, his statement was taken as an indication that he would not countenance their real ization unless he was convinced the state would not add to its already $16,oOOOo0 indebtedness.
 The fate of the states $11,000,000 capital building program also was represented as resting with the chief executive. While the legisla ture gave approval to the program it did not specify on what projects the money was to be expended. This matter was left entirely to the governor and the head of the new department of public works, Robert A. Hurley. Hurley already has asked the federal government for a grant of $700000O to make available $13000,000 for new con- structions and repairs. Even this amount was some $5,000,000 short of original demands of the aggre- gated institutions
 One of the special appropriations bills was that providing for more than $300000 for further develop ment of Sherwood Island, off Nor walk. There were nearly score oi other bills for lesser amounts.

@~~~~~-~~~ Great Britain, with it's new $7,500,- 100000 900 rearmament program backing 1t up, to preserve a balance and prevent an explosion.
 The most notable portion of his speech, perhaps, as regards events of the moment, was his dismissal of the alleged loyalist submarine attack. The German Cruiser Leip- gigs officers were mistaken in their assertions that torpedoes were fired on the ship.
 This alleged attack remains a mystery. Germany angrily asserts that it occurred; the Spanish loyal ists offer what they call absolute proof that no loyalist submarine was at sea at the time; Britain and France have not admitted that it took place.
 Chamberlain spoke in debate caused by an opposition amendment to foreign office appropriation bill.
 Seek American Sympathy
 Sir Archibald Sinclair, liberal leader, opened the debate. To the surprise of the house, he made his principal point an appeal to the government to strengthen friend- ship with the United States.
 "The opportunity is there," he said. Failure to grasp 1t would dis courage the United States and sour public opinion. Not only the proS- perity but the peace of Europe hangs on the response of His Maj esty's government to United States overtures."
 Some emphasis was put on this statement because of persistent re- ports that the American govern ment has secretly interested itself in the present Spanish crisis, in an effort to keep peace inviolate. These reports have persisted despite state department denials.
 Chamberlain Follows
 Chamberlain followed Sinclair.
 The new prime minister's entire speech was obviously intended to appeal not only to Britons, but to Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy to keep calm.
 "Let us try to keep cool heads" he said, land neither do nor say anything to precipitate the disaster that everyone wants to avoid. Many outside observers regard the Span- ish war as a struggle between rival systems. That makes it perpetual danger to world peace.
 Policies of Britain
 As to Britain's positive policy, Chamberlain said:
 That the government would continue its non-intervention policy SO long as there was reasonable hope of success.
 2+That it would seek to patch up the neutrality control plan, filling the gap left by the withdrawal of Germany and Italy.
 3tThat Britain would persist in it's efforts to effect the withdrawal of foreign volunteers from Spain.
 The net result of his speech, calmly as it was phrased and spoken, was to give the house the impression that the European Sit- uation was one of great gravity and danger.
 As soon as he had finished speak, ing, Chamberlain went to Bucking- ham palace to see King George. This was taken as a sign that the government was exceedingly an- XiOllS

Steel Plants HaDe
 Refused To Confer
tcuntinled from Paes D

Any steel worker in Ohio may re- turn to the mills if he chooses with the assurance that National Guards men will protect him. Likewise any striker may continue to picket the struck mills so long as he does not exceed his legal rights under the laws of the state. Davey promised equal protection for all in an at- tempt to maintain law and order.
 In Pennsylvania, Governor George H. Earle lifted the modified mar tial law which had closed Bethle- hern's giant Cambria plant at Johns- town. Earle's order permitted Beth- lehem to reopen it's plant at 2 a. m. but steel production cannot be re- sumed until cold furnaces are fired and other equipment prepared.
 Rapid Fire Developments
 The rapid-fire developments ac- ccmpanying collapse of the media ton board negotiations gave im- petus to growing demand of non- strikers for reutrn to work.
 'The on-strikers are ready tc return to their jobs immediately with protection against violence and intimidation" Ray L. Thomas, leader of a Youngstown Sheet & Tube company back-to-work organ ibation, said.
 we were and are ready to open the gates of our mills," Republic and Sheet & Tube Co. officials said as they arranged a conference with local and military officers this morning to work out plans for re- opening.
 Strike leaders, meanwhile, refus- ed to give up the fight to force Re- public, Sheet & Tube, Inland and Bethlehem Steel companies to sign union contracts. John Mayo, dis trict c. I. o. director, said that if necessary strike sympathizers would return to the mills with non-strik- CTS and start series of sporadic sit-down strikes to continue the struggle.
 May Broaden Strike
 One other possibility of action remained open to the strike leaders There have been indict threats in recent weeks that Lewis would seek to broaden the strike to other ir- dustries before he would see it fail Homer Martin, president of the United Automobile Workers, has promised that auto workers would refuse to handle steel from strike bound mills. Negotiations have been reported with maritime unions to refuse to handle steel to Great Lakes ports. Lewis already has notified coal operators in Pennsyl- vania that his United Mine Work CTS reserve the right to shut dowr mines that supply struck stee companies. Sherman Dalrymple president of the United Rubber Workers, has offered aid to stee strike leaders in Youngstown.

Mako and Jadwiga Jedrzejowska of Poland reached the third round of the mixed doubles by beating the British combination of Herman David and Mrs. Elsie Pittsman, 7-5, 6-4.

 Budge defeated Hecht, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. The little Czech made only one real bid. After Budge had run of a lead of 5-2 in the first set Hecht swapped lightning drives and equalled Budge's stroke production for two games, but it was all Budge after that.
