ROOSEVELT MOVE
IN STRIKE H|NTEO
GrdIer Opposed to Presi.
dent Acting as Arbiter
in Dispute.

Direct intervention Of President
four steel companies was subject of
increasing speculation today as the
special mediation board appointed by
Secretary Perkins reported no progress
in bringing both sides together.
AS this possibility engaged atten-
ton, however, Tom Girdler, chairman
of the board of Republic Steel Corp.
and outWardly the leader of the in
, dustry forces. told reporters as he was
leaving Washington last night that
he would not favor accepting the
Presidents services as arbiter.
Previously, Girdler reiterated his
refusal to meet personally with John
L. Lewis, chairman of the c. I. O., and
denounced the three-man mediation
board as incompetent and unfair
The steel chairman applied his con-
demnation to the board members in
dividually and collectively.
Troops to Aid Mail Asked.
Shortly before Girdler left Wash
ington attorneys for his company told
the Federal District Court here that
Federal troops should be used, If nee
essary, to get mailed packages of food
into its strikebound plants,
Declaring there is no legal authority
for the Post Office Departments re-
fusal to deliver such packages, the
corporations attorneys contended:
If it be the shameful fact that the
c. I. O. has power to control the postal
system Of the Federal Government.
then the time has indeed come to in
woke the aid of the Governments mill
tary forces"
The attorneys asked the court to
dismiss the answer of Postmaster Cen
eral Farley to the corporations suit,
filed June Is, for an order requiring
the Post Office Department to deliver
packages containing food and clothing
to non-striking workers in Republics
plants at Niles and Warren, Ohio.
Argument of Farley.
Farley had argued he had discre-
ton to regulate the delivery of mail
under unusual, hazardous and dam
gerous conditions"
Republics petition denied the acts
of Congress allowed such discretion
and added that Farley's answer made
no showing the postal service can
not be safely continued
1t acknowledged the court is unable
to invoke the aid of military forces,
but said:
1T Is, however, within the province
of this court to say that no such
censorship Of the mails as now exists
is lawful or shall be permitted"
Farley has five days in which to
f1le reply.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 26.-
The middle-aged woman who
made herself useful on jefferson
Island yesterday while President
Roosevelt entertained more than
100 male members of Congress
must have felt somewhat out of
place.
She was the only woman on
the island, and practically sue
ceeded In vanishing during the
party, for all her 200 pounds,
but a number of members of
Congress spotted her at work in
the kitchen and other places.
No women were taken to the
Island. In fact, the White House
announced the party was to be
strictly stag. And as result,
such good Democratic members
Of the House as Representatives
Mary Norton of New Jersey,
Caroline O'Day of New York,
Nan Honeyman of Oregon and
Virginia Jenckes of Indiana were
not invited.

from Annapolis to the club, conveying
them in submarine chasers. at more
or less regular intervals. giving the
President time to welcome each group
Of 80 to 40 before the next arrived.
All was done in shipshape manner
and not Congressman was lost. The
guests returned to Annapolis in the
same manner. the first group arriving
shortly before 6 pm.
Great precautions have been taken
to prevent any visitors to the island
except those who have been regularly
invited. A Gordon of Marine guards
is thrown around the island shores.
1t would take spirit as light and
airy as Ariel to get by the guard.
The fatted calf was killed yester-
day for the Democrats, for those who
have remained faithful as we'll as for
the prodigals. A luncheon OF extern
sive proportions was served, including
succulent ham. salads and what not.
All kinds Of sports, from singing
to swimming, were part OF the days
entertainment. A dozen OF the men,
bers took to the waters Of the bav,
among them Representative Randolph
OF West Virginia and Representative
Kennedy of Maryland. Many more
sang. Two of the favorite songs. ac-
cording to Senator Key Pittman OF
Nevada. were The Old G. o. P. Amt

Representative Maverick, who went
to the island to tell the President
that he and his organized group in
the House would stick to the admin
Htration and its program through
thick and thin, returned entirely
cheerful about the situation.
The Nation has been saved" was
ms greeting as he stepped from the
SUP chaser on his return to Annapo-
lis. The President says we are going
through with all those things"
Certainly" on Court Bill.
Maverick was pressed to saw
whether the President meant Con-
gress would put through the court
olll, the Government reorganization
Dill, the wages and hours BILL and the
rest OF the program. and whether
ne meant that they would all be put
through at this session of Congress.
The court bill, certainly" said
Maverick. He said that he took it
for granted that the President, when
ne said the program was going
through. meant it would go through
at the present session.
Maverick was asked when he
though Congress would adjourn, If
that were the case.
MY guess was September 80" he
replied. Representative Steagall of
Alabama suggested November IS"
Maverick went down to the island
with pockets bulging with Roosevelt
buttons. He pinned them on all the
guests.

RYAN ACCUSES CONGRESS
Speaking in support of the citi-
zens' campaign over radio station
WRC last night, MSgr. John A.
Ryan, director of the National
Catholic Wei fare Conference,
charged Congress with having
failed in its moral obligations to
the weakest and neediest members
of society,"" He added:
Congress, in failing to ap-
propriate sufficient money and
reducing the Works Progress
Administration appropriation,
failed in one of the primary OBJ
legations of distributive justice.
Congress failed to tax those who
have in order to provide ele-
mentary necessities for those
who have not"
$2,898 REALIZED
Of the $4,000 already contrib

tributed by worshipers at churches

ARLINGTON, Va, Oct. IL.
Supported by figures, experts and
sentiment, more than 300 citizens
Of Arlington and Alexandria built
an almost perfect case against
continuance of the accent milk
price regulation in the Arlington
Alexandria market area, at an
al-day hearing conducted by the
Virginia Milk Commission here
yesterday.
The commission announced at
the conclusion Of the noisy hear
ing that it expects to decide lin
three or four days" whether it
will continue its fixed price scale
in the area.
PARRY AIDS CAUSE
Unexpected backing was given
the citizens stand when A. B.
Parry. a member of the Federal
Trade Commission, who recently
superintendent Government in
Vestigation of milk markets in
several large cities of the country,
said that the distributors Of the
area should be allowed to sell at
their own prices, in fairness to
consumers.
Parry, speaking as resident
of the county, asked that the
High-H bland Farms Dairy
combine be permitted to sell milk
below the commissions prescribed
figure because its cash-and-carry
method permits lower operating
cost. He said adequate records of
production costs cannot be made
available because producers will
not give authentic reports.
LOSING MONEY NOW
Under subpoena from the COM
mission, w. A. Hazel. of HazePs
Dairy, Falls Church, testified his
sales have dropped 80 per cent
since the accent price became ef-
fective last July /, and that his
plant is now being operated at a
loss. Before forced to raise his
price from IL to IA cents, Hazel
said, he was making "a splendid
profit"
