Bitter Fight Over
{. |. O. Forces Ad-
i0urnmeni OF House

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Wild
charges against the Committee for
Industrial Organization, made in the
House by Rep. E. E. Cox, were
sharply challenged in a speech on
the floor by Rep. Maury Maverick
3D., Tex,). Debate became so heat
ed that Speaker Bankhead was
forced to adjourn the House.
Taking up Cox's attack, Maverick
declared that ut was h~ysterical. To
me it seemed highly provocative and
one calculated to bring ~bloodshed
and disorder. He started talking
about civil war and ended talking
about civil war. On behalf of the
south he spoke Of havoc, bloodshed,
and loss of lives Then he warned
the c. I. o. that they will be met
with the flower of southern man
hood and they will reap the bitter
fruits of their own folly"
ITO say the least,' Maverick con-
tinued, none of the flowers who
are now in Congress, north, south,
east or west, will shed any blood in
any conflict. AS for the south, it is
a part of the United States and its
people are ready and willing to as
sumo the burdens of any other states.
What the flower of southern man
hood needs is jobs, and not civil
wars, or shooting scrapes INDUCED
in as or by vigilantes."
Talk no more about the violence
of the actions of the radicals" Nav
erick went on. "But there are other
Democrats who are still bowling for
blood and advocating what in effect
is violence and doing nothing to
settle the industrial disputes of to-
day."
He charged that the trouble was
caused for the most part by the I'M
yielding attitude of the conservatives
and reactionaries and cited portions
of the report of the Federal Steel
Mediation Board.
Pale and trembling, Cox rose to
his feet to challenge Maverick and
Rep. Hoffman (R., Mich.), who a
few weeks ago attempted to raise a
private army in Michigan, joined in
the melee. Finding his gavel use
less to quell the rapidly rising tenn
perature of the House, Bankhead adj
journed the body over the weekend.
In Cox's previous speech he listed
what purported to be the 249 or
ganizers of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization of which more
than half were members of the Com
munist party. Check of Cox's list
| against the official list of 225 at c.
II. o. headquarters here showed that
Cox had only 20 of the organizers
on his list. Numbers of Cox's or
ganizers were listed as volunteers
while at c. l. 0. quarters it was sale
that no credentials are ever issued
to volunteers.

WASHINGTON.-(FP)- Republic
Steel, headed by labor-hating, ours
ing Tom Girdler, is to be hauled up
before the National Labor Relations
Board to answer a series of charges
contained in a formal complaint is
sued by the board.
Hearings will be held here, start
ing July 81 and testimony will be
taken from witnesses. The board
would not disclose whether Girdler
will be summoned to appear before
it but in the event he is subpenaed
he will be unable to get away with
the broad assertions he made here
before the Senate post office COM
mittee, it was thought, inasmuch as
he will be confined to facts.
The complaint issued by the NLRB
followed a field examination of the
charges lodged with the board by
the Steel Workers Organizing Com
mittee. The field examination dis
closed sufficient evidence to warrant
a further probe.
Charges filed by the board in
cluded.
l. Discrimination against union
employees and firing of at least rs
for union activities.
2 The lockout Of a number of en-
ployees and the use of threats to
compel others to remain inside its
lplants.
3. Violence against union organ
izers, and a considerable increase Of
its police force since the start of the
strike.
4. Maintenance of extensive arse
mails.
5. Interference with the right of
peaceful picketing.
6. Stimulation of a back-to-work
movement.
T. Domination at five plants of
company labor organizations.
The allegations of the board are
set out extensively in the complaint.
While discharges of workers for I'M
ion activity cover a period of nearly
a year, the board said, the majority
occurred just prior to the strike
which began May 20. On May 5
workers in the Canton tin plate mill
were locked out.
Also alleged by the board was that
the company maintained its crew Of
supposedly local workers in the War
rem plant by threatening them with
discharge and loss of seniority rights
and vacation privileges if they left
the plant. Girdler boosted here that
these men had remained loyal and
refused to 60 out on strike.
The board also said that the com
pany maintains at its plants in
Youngstown, Niles, Warren, Canton
and Cleveland extensive arsenals
stocked with machine guns, rifles,
revolvers, tear gas and other bombs,
riot sticks and other dangerous
weapons for the purpose of inter-
fering with, restraining and coercing
its employees at said plants in the
exercise of their rights to self or
%ganization. The company at all six
plants has interfered with the right
Of its employees to picket and still
does intimidate its employees by
shooting at them and by throwing
bolts and other dangerous missiles
at them"

 It is said that the fire was caused hy boys who were burning papers in an incinerator.
 The fire spread from the store to the three-story frame house at 5 Parker street, occupied b yMr. and Mrs. Nyberg and three children, Barbara, 12, Carol, II, and James g., on the first floor. The second and third floors were occupied by MT. and Mrs. Harry E. Daley, and Will liam T. McLelland, Jr.
 From the house at 5 Parker street, the flames were whipped in the breeze to a house at 19 Manville street, owned by Miss Jennie s. Her ald, and occupied by her and J. L. vibbert and A. L. Vibberr. The house was badly damaged but not destroyed as badly as the other building. The side nearest Parker street was most badly burned be- cause 1t was there that the flames first caught from the other blazes.
 Although not burned to the ground, the house at Parker street, occupied by the DaIleys and Nybergs was burned on almost all sides, and
