The Washington times., 1937-06-18

To the accompaniment Of
cheers and roars Of approval lead
ers of the committee for industrial
organization last night assured
their audience at the Chicago Sta
dunn that the steel strike tying
I'D production in the plants Of
four independent steel companies
would be won.
In a telegram explaining his
inability to address the mass meet
ing because Of imperative circum-
stances" read by Van A. Bittner,
regional director of the steel work
ers' organizing committee, Lewis
declared that pictures Of the
Memorial Day rioting taken by the
Paramount News Reel Company
"conclusively demonstrate that
these workers we're deliberately
murdered by police.
Legal Vengeance
His message added:
81 am satisfied that the butch
cry of our people win be legally
avenged by the due process Of
our judicial machinery, Spurred
by the resentment Of the public
when it becomes acquainted with
the real facts"
The message from the C. I. O..
chieftainS in Washington followed
attacks on the steel baronS" and
the public officials of Chicago and
Johnstown, Pa, by Bittner and
Lieutenant Governor Thomas Ken
nedy, of Pennsylvania.
Lieutenant Governor Kennedy,
substituting for Lewis as the main
speaker, deplored "the stupidity Of
the scattering of steel barons who
strive to stem the rising tide Of
industrial d ocracy in the
United States" He added:
Labor must be strong enough
to be able to enforce and com.
pei collective bargaining which
is assured under the Wagner
act. This is the fundamental
principle Of the C. /. O."
MAYOR DENOUNCED
OF the steel strike in Johns
town, Pa, and its handling by
city officials there, Kennedy de-
clared:

mittees to get strike breakers
into the mills Of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation"
Kennedy, who is secretary and
treasurer of Lewis United Mine
Workers of America, predicted the
end of non-unionism in America
and declared the C. I. o. could
not fail in it's drive to write col

Assurances of cooperation were
given the board by both sides in
the controversy-the Steel Work
ers Organizing Committee, an
affiliate Of the Committee for
Industrial Organization, and the
Republic Steel Corporation, one
of the independent steel COM
panies affected by the strike and
the spearhead Of the unions at
tack.
Davey Plea Needed
President Roosevelt authorized
the appointment of the board
following receipt of word from
Governor Martin L. Davey OF
Ohio, that the strike had at
tanned proportions beyond the
States control. Davey appealed
to the President to intervene.
The members Of the board are:
Charles P. Taft, son Of the late
President and Chief Justice,
chairman; Lloyd K. Garrison, q
former chairman Of the National
Labor Relations Board and now
dean of the Wisconsin University
Law School, and Edward F. Nc
Grady, the Labor Departments
Assistant Secretary Of Labor and
the departments ace labor con-
ciliator.
Cooperation Pledged
Assurances that the union and
the Republic Steel would Co
operate with the board we're given
Secretary Perkins by Philip Muir
ray, head of the S. w. o. c., and
John S. BrookeS, jr., local coun-
sci for the company.
The Inland Steel Company, the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation and
the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company, other companies affect
ed by the strike, are expected to
follow the Republic Company's
action and give the board full CO.
operation.
Secretary Perkins remarked:
at is unthinkabIe that any.
one should be unwilling to
assist in the peace efforts"
She said this when it was ex-
planned the board has no power
to subpoena witnesses.
Cleveland Headquarters
The boards headquarters will
be maintained in Cleveland. It
is authorized to investigate, con-
duct hearings, make findings Of
fact and act as voluntary arbitra-
tor If the parties to the dispute
so request.
The Governments action met
with general praise on Capitol Hill
but Senator Vandenberg (R) Of
Michigan, said no permanent sclu-
ton could be attained until the
National Labor Relations Act Is
"mutualized, imposing equal obli-
cation on both Sides"
Quick Action Seen
Senator Bailey Cd Of North
Carolina, believes the board will
be able to effect a quick settlement
of the strike since the main contro-
versy Is over the companies re-
fuSal to make q written contract
with the union, he thinks the
board may be able to produce q
witnessed verbal agreement" and
have it accepted by the union in
lieu of q written contract.
PraiSing the type Of men named
to the board, Senator Thomas 3D.
of Utah, said 'if this group can't
bring about peace something very
drastic indeed would have to be
done"
The Government appointed
similar boards of mediation in the
maritime strike and in the textile
strike of 1894. The present board
will make weekly reports to Sec
rotary Perkins.

AIRPORT BILL PUSHED

Of Virginia to exert every possible
effort against the May bill.
After the private conference, at
tended by County Manager Frank
C. Hanrahan and the five mem
bers of the county board, Hanra
han said:
1--WE fell that the May bill
does not protect the rights of
Arlington county in the 143
acres of property comprising the
Washington Airport. We are
willing for the airport to remain
in Arlington county, but are
thinking Of the possibility that
it may be privately owned for
years to come.
Both the May and Copeland
bills, brought out near the ad--
jOurnment of Congress have re-
ceived hasty action, with Airing
ton officials not having been
permitted a hearing on either"
Members of the board explained
that Arlington now receives an in
come of $4,000 a year from taxa
ton on the airport property. They
believe that the county'S sole com
pensation through provisions OF
the May bill-the construction Of
a $4,000 surface.treated substitute

loss.

Solomon said ut is important"
that the lagoon provision be rein
serted, since it would provide an
other runway. The only opposi-
ton registered to this feature was
by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which con-
tended that by using the lagoon
planes would come too near to
