 Cleveland, June 19.-(UP)-Three members of the federal steel media ton board began today an uneven struggle to surmount bitterness and l violence blocking settlement of the eeven-state steel strike, while one state executive proposed that huge plant be closed to prevent further warfare. Even as Chairman Charles IF. Taft, Edward McGrady and Lloyd K. Garrison met here to star: peace {, negotiations, new and more ominous rumblings of strife shock and strike front, particularly in Pennsylvania.
 Governor Makes Threat Gov. George H. Earle asked Eugene c. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, to close the corporations Cambria plant at JohnStown, Pa., scene of several battles between strikers and non-strikers. In indirect language. Earle warned that should his re- quest be denied, he would declare martial law in Cambria county and close the plant with national guard troops.
 The governor acted after receipt of telegram from Sheriff Michael ,. Boyle of Cambria county tllat de- clared that 8 threatened invasion tomorrow of 10000 members of the United Mine Workers of America, the c. I. O.'S largest union, present. ed situation with which his police forces were unable to cope. The sheriff appealed for National Guard assistance.
 Mayor Shields Bitter

':BM" MOriarty A Simple Message of Coincidence From One Editor To Another Upon The Loss
 of a Dear
 Friend
TO THE EDITOR OF THE
 WATERBURY DEMOCRAT:

WA1ER0O&x OEMVNnALs
 Let me sympathize with you in your loss of The Democrats political writer William ,. Moriarty-a writer whom we all respected at the Capitol, a keen political mind that seemed to be just . jump ahead of affairs, and 2 man whom everybody liked and trusted.
 He saw hum0r in individuals as well as political disputes, analysed them, and interpreted his expert. ences through the columns of The Democrat in . fashion which enc deared him to the persons of whom he wrote about. His writ lngs were at their best when he could lean toward the pleasant side, and touch on humOr to carry his point Hayes, M h aney, ThOms, and Jackson were the four men whom he thought the most of at the Capitol, and he never lost . chance to further their cause as an unofficial missionary, relating pleasant, humorous and fattering statements among his comrades of the press.
 The human side of William M0riarty stands forever stamped in our minds. His story telling ability, his limitations of the acc tiOns of politicians whom were put there "On the spot" by A question, and his contagious laugh are bright memories to us all.
 In conclusion, MT. Editor, his good deeds live with us all and will serve as an example for the spirit of "give and take" which he represented i'm the New Deal.

Governor Earle's Demand

Harrisburg, Pa., June 19-(UP)- Governor George H. Earle asked Eu- gene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, early today to close the corporations plant at Johnstown.
 Earle made his request in e tele- gram. In direct language, he said that should Grace refuse to close the plant he would declare martial law and close it with national guard troops.
 The governor acted after receipt of a telegram from Sheriff Michael J. Boyle of Cambria county that de- clared 8 situation threatened in Johnstown that would be beyond the facilities of the state, county and city police and asking for martial law.
 Earle declared that he made his request to avoid bloodshed and vio- lence.
 "This action on your part will make 1t unnecessary for me to de- clare martial law and close your plant" Earle telegraphed Grace. Please wire your answer" 10000 Miners to March
 Boyle had telegraphed the gover- nor that 10000 members of the United Mine Workers, the largest union aflliated with the Committee for Industrial Organization, planned to march on Johnstown Sunday to demonstrate their sympathy with the striking employees of Bethlehem's Cambria plant where violence has flared almost continuously since the strike was called a week ago Friday.
 Earle sent his telegram while Philip Murray, chairman of the steel workers organizing committee, spon- sor of the steel strike, and Lee Press man. s. w. o. c. counsel, prepared in Washington to leave immediately for Harrisburg to confer with him. They refused to comment on a re- port that they would ask Earle to declare martial lew.

LETTER BOX

Editors Note: We notice in the
Washington Star of Tuesday, Deem
Der 7, that the elimination of the bus
service to Rockville is predicted by
Edward D. Merrill, president of the
Capital Transit Company. The excuse
given is lack of income from this line
and other suburban lines. The Sentinel
believes this matter should be
thoroughly discussed, pro and con, in
asmuch as the threatened loss of bus
service will seriously affect the people
of Rockville.)
The Editor:
AS you are always sympathetic in a
Just cause, request space to call at
tention to the inexcusably poor service
of the Montgomery County Bus Lines,
operated by the Capital Transit Com
pany. They hold US up for thirty
cents to the District Line, a distance
of about eight miles. In exchange for
that thirty cents we are bumped and
banged to a pulp, almost asphixiated,
blinded because of no curtains and
nauseated by the conviction that mil
lions of germs are lurking in the
ramshackle carriers called buses. One
can only open a window half way IN
warm weather, and at all times even
the view is INSTRUCTED by the contact
of the two small sashes at the line OF
vision.
We might patiently stand the cost
and discomfort if the time consumed
were reduced, but to go around Cape
Horn to get to the District line though
an accommodation to those on the Old
Georgetown Road, is an imposition on
Rockvillians. If we wish to go TO
lower Wisconsin Avenue or to Penn
sylvania Avenue at particular time'
we have to wait sometimes an hour
for the next bus, except, of course,
during the morning and afternoon
rush hours.
Through your columns I might sug-
pest to the Chamber of Commerce
that they give this matter precedence
on their program, with view OF at
homeseekers by quicker and
better transportation service, as well
as to promote comfort and reduce the
time and expense for regular patrons.
Notice the advertisements OF real
estate agents and home owners in Vlr-
GINA. They use as drawing card the
advantage of being within ten OF
fifteen minutes from the city, and
those seeking homes constantly advef-
t;se for places in nearby Virginia,
though they have to cross bridges 70
get there.
threaten to hammer away on TINS
subject until we who patronize the
bus service obtain some remedy.

Izaak Walton League
Votes For Rifle Range;
Stock Canal With Bass

The Rockville Chapter Of the Izaak
Walton League of America voted
unanimously at its December meeting
to join the Rockville Company of U.

other groups, in establishing an in

available and the consensus was that
it would be ideal for the purpose.
It was reported that approximately
800 snaall-mOuth black bass, obtained
from the State Conservation Depart
ment, had been deposited in the
stretch of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal between the Eennyfeld and
Swain locks, which the chapter is
maintaining. and that 81 nilar con-
sigrment would be placed there soon.
The chapter WAS also informed the
chapters rearing ponds on the Stone
farm, near Cabin John, and at Shady
Grove had each. been stocked. with
something like l,l0O lingering; brook
trout.
