URGED ON EARLE
Steel Workers Charge COL
lusion Between City and
Bethlehem Corp. Officials.

~ the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, September 30.-The
Steel Workers Organizing Committee
has asked Gov. George H. Earle to
investigate the activities of the local
officials in Johnstown."
In . telegram sent to the Governor,
Chairman Philip Murray of the S. W.
o. c. stated:
Tuesday at hearing of the Ma
honal Labor Relations Board being
held In Johnstown, Pa, concerning
unfair labor practices of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corp. Mr.. Francis C..
Martin, cashier of the United States
National Bank of Johnstown, admitted
that he had received $4,000 as chair
man of the Citizens Committee of
Johnstown from Sidney D. Evans who
Is the plant superintendent of the
Bethlehem Steel Corp. in Johnstown
FOR the purpose of turning over such
money, which he did to Mayor Daniel
Shields of Johnstown.
Martin further admitted that he
subsequently turned over to Mayor
Shields other monies amounting to
$4,000. all of which was received from
Mr.. Evans.
These funds were transferred dur
Ing the strike which the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee was conducting
~ the Bethlehem plant at Johnstown
Collusion Is Charged.
We have heretofore publicly
charged that throughout that strike
Mayor Shields was operating in COM
plete collusion with the officials of the
Bethlehem Steel Corp. for the purpose
OF breaking the strike and to defeat
the right OF the steel workers to
organize.
Further we have publicly charged
that the Citizens Committee. or
ganized in Johnstown, was merely a
puppet Of and organized completely
oy the officials of the Bethlehem Steel
Corp in its effort to break the strike
ms testimony brought forth yes
Nrday at the hearing completely
1ustifles our charge.
Ihis obvious bribery and corrup-
ton OF local officials certainly de-
mands an immediate investigation by
the State authorities into the Johns
town situation.
AT Johnstown, representatives of the
steel company said they had no COM
ment to make on Murrays telegram.

CHILD LABOR BAN
DRAFT UNDER WAY
Three Senators Preparing
Compromise Bill! Follow
ing Hearings.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Three Senators undertook today to
draft compromise child labor bill
after Interstate Commerce Committee
hearings produced variety OF sug-
gestions.
Chairman Wheeler appointed Sem
ators johnson, Democrat, of Colorado;
Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky, and
White, Republican, OF Maine, to pre-
pare the legislation, which he said
might be debated in the Senate ahead
of the court reorganization bill.
Some proponents advocated law
to prohibit shipment in interstate
commerce Of goods made in factories
where child labor was employed
Others suggested legislation to stop
child labor goods from being shipped
into State in violation Of its own
laws.

The Department of Labor has ap-
proved the former principle. Wit
nesses at the hearings pointed out

Such statute, enacted in 1916. was
invalidated by Sd Supreme Court
decision.
Wheeler urged that both principles
be incorporated in a new bill, con-
tending that if the court invalidated
one, the other would obtain.
Some legislators contended a con-
stitutional amendment still was
needed.
Vandenberg Amendment.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican. OF
Michigan has introduced an amend
ment which he believes would meet
the objections Of those opposed to
the one now before the States. In
13 years the pending amendment has
been ratified by % States. Eight
more are needed for its adoption
The Vandenberg amendment would
give Congress the authority to pro
hibit' instead of control" the labor
