Company Heads, With Tom Girdler in Lead,
Refused All Suggestions for Making Peace,
Says Report Signed by Charles p. Taft Lloyd
K. Garrison and Edward T. McGrady.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
report Of the board appointed by Sec
retary Perkins to mediate in the steel
strike puts blame for continued in
dustrlal warfare squarely on the steel
companies, and particularly and en-
phatically on Tom Glider.
The union representatives were
ready to meet with representatives of
the companies. The representatives
of the companies, Girdler and Eugene
Grace being present, refused. The
union men accepted the boards sug-
gestions for making peace. The COM
pany chiefs refused all suggestions.
The boards report makes this clear,
point by point, detail by detail, hour
by hour. The report, signed by
Charles P. Taft, Lloyd K. Garrison
and Edward f. McGrady, stands as a
key document in industrial history
Peace Methods Proposed
The board met with union repre-
sentatives, John L. Lewis, Van A.
Bittner, Lee Pressman and Philip
Murray among them, at 9:30 in the
morning of June 21 After some gen
eral discussion, the board suggested
three methods that might be used to
record an agreement. These were, in
substance:
/. An agreement between the four
companies for the benefit of all their
employees, and the union in so far as
its own members were concerned.
2. A statement of the board of the
terms agreed upon to be initiated or
acknowledged by the board.
3. Terms PROPOSES by each COM
pany to all its employees and to the
union by posting on the bulletin
board; to be accepted by going to
work and by letter from the union to
the company.
Companies Reject Plans
The union leaders agreed to take
these under consideration The board
met at noon with representative of
the companies.
We then presented to them" says
the boards report, 'the same methods
which we had discussed with the union
representatives by which an agree
ment could be recorded. The four
companies rejected all those pro
posals."
In that way the efforts of the fed
eral steel board began, and in that
way they ended. The union repre-
sentatives accepted practically all
suggestions of the board, or were
willing to talk it over with the COM
panies. The companies accepted
nothing and refused to talk things
over.
Sought Pay-cutting Power
"Mr. Girdler stated positively" !"
says the board, "that he would not
consent to a term contract because he
believed it necessary for the proper

PRIVATE CHARITIES
HELD STILL NEEDED
Federal Agencies Cannot Take
Place Of Philanthropic Work,
Bane Tells Chest Forum.

Irrespective OF Government welfare
agencies, there always will be need
for private philanthropy, according
to Frank Bane, director of the Social
Security Board, who yesterday ad-
dressed the Federal Community Chest
Forum at the Harrington Hotel.
Although many persons believe be-
cause Of the varied Government relief
units now operating there is no longer
any need for private help, we have
barely made start" the speaker
declared.
Even if We had done more" he
continued, there is a large part of
our general needs not covered by
present programs. In old age a per-
son must reach IS years to be eligi-
BILE for help. There are thousands
and perhaps millions who reach the
end OF their resources long before
they reach the age Of 65"

accident that a man was in the auto
mobile.

JENKINS SUIT ON
CITY FOR $1,587
Asks Sum in Breach of Con-
tract About Filling Sta
ton Work

Suit for $1,5876O has been filed by
James w. Jenkins against the City
of Henderson in Vance Superior
Court, alleging breach of contract in
that sum in connection with an agree
ment covering work at his filling sta
ton at the corner of William and Nit
chell streets, incident to the construc-
ton of the Church-Charles street I'M
derpass.
The action does not allege damages
incurred, but breach of contract,
claiming that a signed agreement was
had with the city whereby the city
was to pay for the tearing and re-
placement of pavement on the prem
ises of the filling station, which has
been remodeled and greatly enlarged.
The agreement was based, however,
on an understanding that excavations
for the underpass, block north of
the filling station, would lower the
level of the street from a foot and a
half to three feet below the level of
the entrance to the service station.
AS a part of the allegations, an
agreement was produced with the
names attached of the underpass COM
mittee of the City Council, including
Aldermen D. c. Loughlin, F. B. Hight
and T. w. Ellis. This was approved, it
is alleged, by the City Council.
The $1,587.6O item is the amount
claimed by the plaintiff as the cost to
him of doing the work he claims the
city promised to do at his place of
business.
The suit was filed after claim for
the amount had been made to the
Council and refused by the Council.
