Mayor Hayes Is Giuen
 Merit System, Reply
Waterbury Chapter Makes Answer Through John B. Goss-487 Cities Have Proposed System
 for Here, Now in Operation

The Waterbury chapter of the Connecticut Merit System ASsocia- ton, replying today to Mayor Frank Hayes criticism of its proposed amendment to the city charter pro- viding for the establishment of a civil service system in Waterbury claims that the system proposed for this city is now in operation in 487 American cities, with a population aproximating 10 million people. Mayor Hayes, says the chapter based his criticism on a preliminary draft of the amendment, which has been replaced by 8 final draft. The latter, 1t is claimed, eliminates many of the issues the mayor raised in objection.
 Letter To Mayor
 The chapters reply is in the form of a letter to the mayor by John B. Goss, a member of the local chapter. The mayors criticism of the plan, given earlier this week, was contained in letter to MT. Goss. Mayor Hayes declared he was in favor of the civil service prin- ciple but that the proposed amend ment was to complicated and i'm practicable. Furthermore, he said, 1t would give dictatorial powers to the director of personnel.
 MT. Goss thanks the mayor for the time and thought he has given the proposal, and expresses admira- ton for his "open and frank eX- pression of opinion.' He says he is glad to know that the mayor is in favor of civil service in principle.
 The merit system association, says MT. Goss, is strictly non-partisan, and he expresses the hope that the issue will not become partisan one.

The judge gave suspended sentences to two of the accused, and continued the case of the other till tomorrow. Speak ing to a courtroom packed with strikers, Judge McGrath declared: No one has the right to assault anyone going to work. Strikers can use persuation, if they want to, but nothing more. There is no need for any violence on the part of either side. If there's any more trouble, I'll deal severely with those caus- ing 1t, whichever side they belong to-"

ID x ASEAAA AA AAA1AANzSAAN United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, June 25. = (UP) - Great Britain and France have communicated to all governments interested in the Mediterranean a warning that any blockade of Loyalist Spain by Germany would upset the present balance in the Mediterranean, it was understood today. The com munication indicated that France, at least, believed that any blockade by Germany should not be tolerated by other nations, it was said. The French view was summarized by a foreign office spokesman who said to the Unitcd Press: Peace must be maintained at any cost. France and Britain have agreed that neu- tral control should be maintained on those sections of the Spanish Loyalist coast from which Germany and Italy withdrew their control- ships.
 Control Whole Coast
 France and Britain together can control the whole coast. But France proposes that if they do, neutral observers shall be put aboard the French and British ships. Each hour the foreign office here is in tele- phonic communication with the for eign office at London.
 France is firm. She considers that there are limits beyond which nc power can go in the Mediterranean She is convinced that neither Italy nor Germany intends to go beyond those limits" However, this convic- tion has been voiced frequently here during the crisis seems rather to be addressed to Germany and Italy to

Six Thousand Miners March To Johnstown
They Will Give Help to Strikers Against Bethlehem Steel COrp.-Back to Work Movement Fails;
 May Be More Trouble
By J. ROBERT SHUBERT United Press Staff Correspondent


 Johnstown, Pa, June 25-(UP) More than 5000 coal miners, on Tabor holiday" from the soft coal fields, marched into Johnstown to- day to aid union steel workers strik- ing against the Bethlehem Steel corporation.
 Shouting and singing, the miners established picket lines around Bethlehem's closed Cambria plant and heard their leaders promise that i've can't afford to let the steel workers lose this strike" Picketing began at 8 a. m. (EDT) when mar tial law, in effect since lasts Satur- day, was lifted on orders of Gov ernor Geormge H. Earle.
 Can Reopen Plant
 The order by the governor revok- ing martial law also permitted the company to reopen its big plant, eight miles long eff 1t so desires" 1" but Bethlehem officials said it was physically impossible" to resume operations at once. Company police reported, however, that more than 400 maintenance men had entered the plant between and a. m., under the protection of 200 state troopers, who remained on duty to "help" local authorities maintain peace.
 The miners, members of the United Mine Workers of America, came here over mountain roads from commercial mines in the cam bria area. The movement reportedly was inspired by spontaneous action of U. M. w. A. locals who protested Governor Earle's revocation of mar tial law and decided to help the steelworkers picket the plant, which normally employees 15,00O persons. The strike vase called two weeks ago by the steel workers organiz- ing committee, demanding signed contract.

 London, June 25. (UP)-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, in his first speech on foreign affairs as head of the reorganized govern ment, urged the country to be calm today and said that, though war was an present danger, he be- lieved it might be stopped.
 "The governments policy is to maintain the peace of Europe and confine the Spanish civil war to Spain" he said at the outset of his speech, and In concluding he said earnestly:
 Tn high mountains sudden ex- clamation may start an avalanche. That is the position in which we find outselves today. I believe that although the snow may be perilous- ly poised it has not yet begun to move. If we can exercise patience, caution and self-restraint we may yet be able to save the peace of Europe"

President Roosevelt May Have to Intervene in
 Costly Troubles BACK=TO-WORK IS
 AGAIN BEING HEARD Governor Davey Orders Troops 10 Protect Any
 Who May Return
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent

bY JOE ALEX MORH1S United Press Staff Correspondent
 Cleveland, June 25.-(UP) - Back-to-Work became the cry of non-strikers today as federal mediation of the seven-state steel strike col- lapsed and Governor Martin L. Davey ordered National Guardsmen to protect re- turning workers against threats of violence. The danger of violence was emphasized by two dynamite explosions during the night in the Warren steel dis-/ trict. Failure of the Federal Steel mediation board, headed by Chair man Charles P. Taft, IT., to end the controversy over whether four in- dependent steel companies would sign union contracts was formally disclosed after the managements of two companies rejected an appeal for joint conference with union leaders headed by 0. I. O. Chairman John l.. Lewis.
 President Is Next
 Presidential intervention, as pro- posed by Philip Murray, chairman of the steel workers organizing con1- mittee, appeared to be the only pos- sibility of settlement which might end the renewed threat of conflict when non-strikers start back to the struck steel mills of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

that the boat was travelling 20 miles
