William Powell, the noted actor,

was in seclusion today following
his breakdown into tears at the

The magnificent bronze casket

Expenditures Heavy
Substantial sums of money

persuaded Miss Harlow to lay

Murphy Takes Hand
In Steel Strike Crisis
Nv JAMES L. KILGALLEN

DETROIT, June 10 GNS0,
Tension lesSened somewhat in
strike-ridden Michigan today.
A menacing power strike which
had paralyzed industrial life in
Flint, Saginaw, Bay City and
scores of smaller communities was
settled last night and the men
were returning to work.
Governor Frank Murphy has
tened back to Lansing from Pitts
burgh in an eleventh-hour attempt
to bring about a peaceful solu'
ton of a dangerous situation pre-
cipitated by plans to reopen the
strike-closed Newton Steel Com
pany mill at Monroe.
The Governor was scheduled to
meet with representatives of the
steel company and its striking EN-
ployes in Lansing.
In Detroit at least $4,000 men
were idle because of strikes in va
rious industries; principally build
ing and manufacturing.
At Monroe the situation was
fraught with peril. An overt act
might provoke violence. Mayor
Daniel A. Knaggs, after issuing q
call for volunteers with military
experience, had sworn in nearly
100 civilians to augment the po-
lice force on strike duty.

SENATE WIDENS
LABOR PROBE
PROPOSALS
General Inquiry Into
Cause of Trouble
Is Favored
international News Service

Senate demands for an inves;
tigation Of a labor unions alleged
interference with the mails ex-
banded today into q movement
for q general investigation Of all
labor disturbances.
Gaping this came a warning
that between $4,000 and 10000
silk mill workers probably would
be called on strike within two
weeks.
The threat of a new strike by
an affiliate of the Committee For
Industrial Organization was made
by Sidney Hillman, chairman OF
the Textile Workers Organizing
Committee. Following a confer.
ence here with John L. Lewis,
head of the C. I. O., Hillman re-
ported the union has been unable
to sign contracts with certain silk
mill operators.
Senate Alarmed
Alarmed over the numerous
labor disturbances throughout the
country, members of the Senate
Postoffice Committee will con
slider the request Of Philip Muir
ray, a C. 1. o. official, that the
Senate investigate the moral con
duct" of both sides in the current
struggle between the unions and
officials of the Republic Steel Cor
poration.
Murray's request was made
simultaneously with that of Sena
tor Copeland Cd, of New York.
Other washington developments
in the labor situation were:
1-Secretary Of Labor Frances
Perkins was trying to arrange
a conference between Lewis and
Tom Mercer Girdler, president

Copeland Offers Plan,
Explaining his recommendation
for q general probe of all labol

should set UP procedure for thu
solution of all such disturbance
perhaps in a manner like railroad
