EDUCATION BILL
 GIVEN SECOND
 KNOCKOUTD DROP
Measure to Elect Commis- sioner Definitely Dead
 After Brief Revival

Not satisfied with technically knocking out the elective Educa- tion Commissioner bill yesterday by tabling it. the Territorial House this morning rescued the badly cuffed old measure off the table just long enough for some of the members to offer it words of en- couragement before booting it def- initely into the discard
 Final rites over the measure re- vealed nine opposed and seven for, the majority of nine being suf- ficient to eliminate the bill for the rest of this sessioin.
 The vote on the proposal, which would change the position of Com missioner of Education from an ap- pointive one to elective, follows.
 Nays Anderson, Coffey, Dan Green, Kennedy. Lichtenberg. Ner- land, Race, Nell Scott and Tol- bert Scott.
 Yeas: Davis, Laiblin, McCut- cheon, Rogge, Ross, Smith and Speaker Joe Green.
 Veteran Explains Position
 The bill was brought up again this morning for a definite vote at the request of MT. Nerland of the Fourth Division, who said that he had talked to several of the mem bers since the action of yesterday and he acquired the impression that some of them thought there was a sort of gag rule in connection with the measure. The veteran Legis- lator declared he. wanted every bill to have fair hearing and there fore he was asking that it be brought from the table. He won qaicl, support of the House and sss0 once. famed House Bill Al, now deceased, came again to vote with the above reported result. At one time, MT. Nerland said, he had favored such bill but that now he was convinced it would hamper the work of the Board of Education which he was convinced was suc- cessful.

Homer Martin to ArriYe

HOmcF MaEtln tO ArTlVG
 Homer Martin, president of the United Automobile Workers, arrives today to take personal charge of the unions side of the negotiations. He will join Hugh Thompson, c. I. O. organizer, who assured strikers that 0. I. O. money would arrive today. The c. I. O.'s promise of ample fi- nancial support had stilled demands among the strikers that the United Auto Workers call a sympathy strike in all General Motors plants in the United States. A meeting between the union and management repre- sentatives was scheduled for yes- terday afternoon, but was cancelled at the last moment.
 Hepburn Issues Challenge
 Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn in Toronto, renewed his part in the controversy by challenging Thomp- son to take secret ballot among the strikers to determine how many wanted to return to work at once.
 T am informed that at least 30 per cent of the strikers would re- turn to work tomorrow"
 He issued his new, statement after comforting with II Oshawa workers. He refused to confirm or deny re- ports that he had received various committees of Oshawa citizens and strikers. They were said to have advised him that many of the strik- CTS were willing to return to work and permit the question of recogni- tion to be settled at later confer enceS.
 Settlement Plan
 Thompson revealed that the set- clement plan rejected by vote at mass meeting of the strikers had been approved before the meeting not only by himself but by John L. Lewis, chairman of the 0. I. O., and by Martin. He said that the refusal of the men to follow their leaders had been a surprise, but indicated that he was glad the compromise had been rejected. This compromise called for A hour week, wage in creases, and later conferences to settle the question of union recog- milton.
 Hepburn, in his statement, de- manded that the Ontario govern ment be represented at any confer ences between the workers and the management.
 He reiterated his insistence that the government would not deal with the committee for industrial organi- zation, and insisted that the com pany should not even recognize the local unit of the United Automobile Workers.
