 cause of Closed Shop Fear
By JULIUS FRANDSEN United Press Staff COrreSpondent)


 Cleveland, June 12-(UP)-The steel strike was extended today to the big unit of Bethlehem Steel Co.,, greatest of the nations inGepend- ents. InconcluSive mediation efforts of Gov. Martin L. Davey Of Ohio with strike leaders and executives of two other companies were sus- pended until Tuesday after nine and-one-half-hour session that end- ed early today. City officials of Monroe, Mich, scene of a bitter bat tie at the first reopening of a strike-closed mill, awaited reply from Gov. Frank Murphy 'ot Michi- gan to their demand for National Guard protection when thousands of c. I. O. adherents converge on the city for a mass protest demonstra- tion on Sunday.
 Began At Midnight
 The strike at Bethlehem Steel be- gan at midnight. It curtailed oper- ations of the Cambria plant at Johnstown, Pa.
 It was the c. I. O. Steel unions first attempt by strike action to en- force the contract demand against Bethlehem-the same demand that led to the strike that began on May 26 against the Republic Steel Corp, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,, and the Inland Steel Go.
 Bethlehem, which employs total of 65,000 men, also has big plants at Bethlehem, Pa., and Sparrows Point, Md, near Baltimore.

 The crime took place between Il o'clock last night and ' o'clock thrs morning, and the burglars apparent ly worked in leisurely fashion. They entered the building by climbing fire escape to the room of a one story garage in the rear of the store, on Brook street, then jimmy ing open window to enter the second floor.
 600 to zoo Pounds
 The safe, believed to be 600 or 800 pounds, was taken from under a desk, rolled it out on the floor and then pushed it over to a landing. From there they pushed it to all elevator at the Brook street end of the store and went down to the loading platform. The safe, was loaded into the truck, the garage docF, which can be opened from the inside without a key, was opened, and the burglars were off.

BRASS WORKERS,
 AGREE.
Carpenter Members of Union Make Tentative
 Plans as to Wages

A tentative and partial agree ment between the Scovill Manufact- uring Company and the Waterbury Brass Workers Union, local CIO af- filiate, for union members who are employed as carpenters in the fac- tory was announced by organizers Philip Brainard and Alex Cashin this morning. The agreement, even though it has only been accepted partially by the union men, contains some very important wage adjust mentS.
 Accept Proposal
 At a session held late yesterday afternoon at the union headquar- ters. following a series of sessions which have been held with the management since May 15, the car penters voted in body to tempo rarily accept proposal of John H Goss., The agreement calls for the classification of the carpenters in A and B ratings at a wage rate of 85 and 80 cents per hour respectively after July 1. The men originally asked for 90 cents per hour without any classification of workers.
 The organizers said that the men were only temporarily accepting the proposal and that their main objec- tion has to do with the classification of the men into A and B wage earn ing groups.
 Wage Increases
 Another portion of the agreement which was sent to the union by MT Goss stipulates that the men will receive wage increases for the time which has elapsed since the start of negotiations on May 15. These in- creases call for the payment of 80 cents per hour for class A men and 75 cents per hour for class B men. This retroactive pay increase, it can be noted, also includes the classifi- cation of the carpenters into two groups.

No Settlement As Yet Made h City Strikes Waterbury Buckle Co.,, Noera Mig. Co. Have Not Come 10 Any Agreement With Brass Workers Union;
 Prosecutor Is Blamed

No progress toward settlement of strikes at the Waterbury Buckle Go. and the Noera Mfg. Go. were made today, with the Waterbury Brass Workers union, CIO af1li- ate, and the factory homogeneous both standing fast. Pickets were on duty at both plants again today.
 At the Buckle Go. the union seeks the establishment of a minimum wage of 53 cents and hour for men and 43 cents an hour for women, the establishment of preferential hir- ing system, and the reinstatement of Thomas Bowling, veteran em- ploye allegedly dismissed for union activity. At the Noera company, a subsidiary of the Chase Brass & Copper O., the union seeks a gen. eral wage increase of five cents an hour.
 Blame Prosecutor
 Union organizers Alex Cashin and Philip Brainard today condemned Prosecutor Frank Healey for his failure to issue a warrant yester- day against a New Haven truck driver who allegedly threatened pickets at the Buckle Go. with lead pipe or bar. The driver bran dished the weapon when pickets sought to halt him to see if he was taking goods out of the factory.
 The union also declared today that strikers were innocent of any complicity in the reported theft Of metal valued at $500 from the fac tory Thursday night. It was pointed out that extra policemen were on duty Thursday night at the plant.

Defeat for the Nationalists in the Bilbao area, and resultant failure in the Madrid area, might prove a turning point in the war, however.
 A United Press informant in Rome, who described plans for a Madrid offensive, said that both Premier Benito Mussolini and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler were most eager for speedy conclusion of the war, partly because of the tremend- ous drain on Spain's financial and material resources.
 Within recent weeks General Franco is reparted to have obtained tens of thousands of new men, almost all of them Spaniards whom he drafted and trained in Spanish Morocco.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, June 12.-OP).-The crumpled, bullet riddled bodies ot eigh high army officers were be- lieyed to be in Moscow prison morgue today, awaiting dishonored burial, in evidence of the swift merciless punishment that Russia metes to traitors. The eight men, a marshal and seven generals-the marshal, Mikhail Tukhachevsky, re- garded as Russia's most brilliant Sol- djer-were convicted on their own confessions of espionage in behalf of a foreign country unfriendly to the Soviet Union. The military col legium of the supreme court order ed that they be stripped of all mlli- tary titles and honorS and then shot summarily, without right of appeal or possibility of clemency, by the secret police.
 Germany Suspected
 As they faced their executioners, a strong intimation was thrown out by official sources that the country for which 1t was charged they spled, in whose behalf it was alleged they plotted against their own country, was Nazi Germany.
 The trial was secret and the gov ernment was silent. But Pravda, or
