|. LAID TO REPUBLIC
Labor Board Says GirdIer
Firm Violated Wagner
Act on 8 Counts.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Labor Relations Board yester,
day blamed the Republic Steel Corp
for the death of three little steel
strikers last July IL in a riot near
the corporations Massilon (Ohio)
mill.
Backing up the unsuccessful c. I.
o. strikers for the second time last
week, the board decided that the Re-
public had violated the Wagner Labor
Disputes Act on eight counts before
and during the bitterly fought dis
pute.
On Wednesday the board ordered the
Inland Steel Corp, another Of the
four independent companies in
volved in the strike, to deal with the
Steel Workers Organizing Commit
tee &C. I. o. as representative Of its
Chicago production employees and to
sign a contract based on any agree
ment reached.
Strikers Ordered Reinstated.
After enumerating Republics al
legged Wagner Act violations, includ-
ing responsibility for the Massilon
killings, the board ordered the cor
poration:
l. To reinState approximately 5000
strikers, with back pay from April 8.
2. To reinstate with back pay q
employees the board said had been dis
charged because of union activity be-
fore the strike.
3. To break up the employe repre-
sentation plans at its five Ohio plants.
4. To compensate Canton and Mas
silon employees for the time lost dur
ing a l5-day shutdown Just before
the strike.
S. To stop all practices which would
lead employees to think they were not
free to join the C. I. o. or any other
union.
Republic officials, at their Cleve-
land headquarters. refused to COM
ment on the decision pending its re-
ceipt, but steel men predicted the
corporation would test the decision In
court
Philip Murray, chairman OF the
Steel Workers Organizing Committee,
said the decision was "damning in
dictment" Of Tom Girdler, Republic
chairman
The strike began last May 26 and
petered out in mid-July, although
the c. I. o. maintains it is still in
effect Republic, Inland, the Bethle-
hem Steel Corp. and the youngstown
Sheet & Tube Co. were involved, and
the strike zone reached from Johns
town, Pa, to Chicago.
The C. l. o. called the walkout
after the four companies said they
would sign no contracts with the IRE
sponsible" John L. Lewis union
Yesterdays decision affected only
Republics plants at Cleveland,
Youngstown, Warren, Canton and
Massillon. Ohio
Back to- Work" Move Cited.
A committee from the Massillon en-
ploye representative plan started a
'back-to-work' movement the day
the strike started. the board said. and
thereafter the company was active
behind the scenes in nearly every
effort to end the strike.
On June 9, the board said, Carl
Myers. a company official, asked the
Massillon chief OF police and city
solicitor why they didn't use the same
tactics the Chicago police had used
in the Memorial Day riot, and warned
them the company might abandon the
Massillon plant.
Later. the board said, Maj Harry
curley, company agent and a World
War machine gunner, took charge of
Massillons special strike police, and
led the attack on the strikers that
cost three lives.

section OF leg yesterday
By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, April 9-Cleveland's
killer Knocked detectives anew tonight
as they grappled in the Cuyahoga
River for the latest of the heads, legs
and torsos which for four years he
has been depositing in desolate and
usually watery graves.
The lower section of the eleventh
victims leg-cut off at knee and
ankle--came to light yesterday. A
w. P. A. worker found it at the
edge of the river in the shadow of
the high level bridge only two blocks
from public square.
The baff1ed detectives hoped to find
the head of the latest victim. which
dredger had reported seeing and
other parts of the body.
Coroner S. r. Gerber classified yes
terday's find without hesitation as
the calf of the eleventh victims leg.
Today he said he believed it was part
of the body of small woman between
rs and 80 years old.
Clothing Unclaimed.
Detective Peter Merylo, who has
spent two years trying to find the
maniac whose lust for killing first
found expression in September, 1884,
tried to connect the new victim
with a bundle of womans clothing
found in the area frequented by the
killer in January.
The clothing never has been claim
ed Detective Merylo said he was
skeptical of the connection because
of the three-month lapse between dis
covery of the clothing and the latest
victim.
DR.. Gerber said the last victim,
the fifth woman to die under the
slayer's keen knife, died not earlier
than Tuesday. The first victim also
was woman.
Two Victims Identified.
Detective Merylo and his partner,
Martin Zalewski, believe they will
find the lunatic killers laboratory
somewhere in the neighborhood of
kingsbury Run, which meanders
among the railroad tracks on the
city's edge in an area popular with
transients.
Just two of the victims have been
identified Edward Andrassey once a

with the torso of still unknown
man. The heads were buried a few
feet away.

Appeal Is Predicted.

CLEVELAND, April 9.-Republic
Steel Corp. attorneys conferred today
on the National Labor Boards decision
finding the company guilty of eight
Wagner Act violations. and Cleve-
land steel men said the company un-
questionably would appeal to Federal
courts.
The decision brought to new
crisis the controversy between John
l.. Lewis Committee for Industrial
Organization and Republics sharp
spoken chairman. Tom M. Girdler.
Mr.. Girdler and other Republic
officials were silent beyond a brief
statement that they could not COM
ment at length until they saw the
62,000-word text of the Labor Board
decision
Mr. Girdler frequently has said the
Wagner Act should be revised 80
that both parties to collective bar

The House action puts President
Roosevelt in position where he must

His best chance, Of course, lies in

emergency and again to lift the Ma
ton out Of its unhappy economic
plight, his prestige will be quickly

profits is legitimate enterprise and
exercising individual genius, energy

New Britain, New Haven, Norwalk and Waterbury. For the most part, however, these cities have not made much progress on their formal ap- plications for loans and annual con- tributionS, primarily because of the need for amending the Connecticut housing authorities act, despite our repeated suggestion that they pro- ceed with the preparation of their applications in order that no time might be lost upon removal of the present limitations from the Con- necticut housing act. Immediately upon the amendment of the Con- necticut act, we can expect renewed activity on the part of these author ities.
 "The present status of the pro- grams in these cites is as fallows:
 Hartford
 "An earmarking of four and one half million dollars ($4,500, ,O00) for housing program in the city of Hartford was made on July IS, 1888.
 "The members of the Hartford housing authority have been ap- pointed by the mayor and the or ganization proceedings have been effected. The city has appropriated eight thousand five hundred dollars ($850O) for the administrative ex- penses of the authority. We under stand that the works progress ad- fvN4 ckVso %10rN n11Ann$nd three thousand dollars ($23 ,00O for WPA project providing for a prop erty and sociological survey. This survey will be of inestimable value to the Hartford authority in the compilation of it's application. . "As you know, six million five hundred thousand dollars (6,500,- 00) has been earmarked for housing projects for Bridgeport. The city has appropriated ten thousand dol lars ($10,000) for the administrative expenses of the authority. However, the status of the Bridgeport project has not changed since my letter to you of September 24. The obstacle, of which I advised you in my letter of September 24 still continues to exist, namely, the failure of the city of Bridgeport to enter into an agreement witt the Bridgeport housing authority for a 60 year period which you'd bo the period of the contract of the federal government to pay annua contributions of of approximately two hundred and twenty-five thous. and dollars ($225 ,000) to accept payments in lieu of taxes of no more than five per cent (5) of shelter rent.

 Edgewood Avenue Again
 pr. Edward J. Godfrey. city health officer reported an insanitary con- dition on Edgewood avenue between Piedmont and Mohawk streets, due to overflow of cesspools. Some of the residents are seeking sewer there, others opposing. The board of works has spent many months ob- taining rights of way in order to accede to petitions for a sewer on Edgewood avenue.
 When hearing was held, a ma jority of residents opposed the sewer, saying that they could not pay the assessment. The city health officer was asked for report on conditions there.
 Charles J. DeBisschop complained that storm water sewers being laid on East Mountain road take water from the golf course and deposit It in front of the school; also that his land is being flooded due to removal of a culvert on Peach Orchard road. These matters were referred to the engineering department and street superintendent, respectively.
 Complaint of F. J. Delaney, of Oakville, was that natural water course through his property had been blocked by D. w. Stoddard, thereby damaging his property. The complaint was referred to the health department.
 Sewer Requested
 Request of Charles Nardozzi of Court street, for sewer there was referred to the sewer committee for investigation.
 R. c. Roeske of Oakhill avenue, requested retaining wall and the engineering department was asked to report whether a wall had been ordered in the street layout.

Kopiczh were spokesmen for the group last night and the recent visit of the works commissioners and ths Riverside street group to the Board of Finance formed basis for accusation that the engineering de- partment was delaying plans. Un- less such plans are forthcoming and are persented shortly to the Finance Board, the budget for next year will have no provision for funds to start the project, 1t was pointed out.
 Assistant City Engineer Henry Whitlock said that the engineering department is working on plans to make 2 WPA project of the widening of the river and has outlined a proj- ect on the east bank of the liver. Whereupon, Mir. Kopizch remarked that the west bank is the lower and the one on which most flood depre- dations occur.
 Mir. Whitlock said that City Engi- neer Charles s, Root had plan which has not been outlined and the special meeting will be for the pur- pose of getting definite word about this proposal. according to Commis- sioner James A. Phelan. The city engineer originally offered a plan calling for outlay of $538 900 and purchase by the city of the property now in reference.
 Later, on petition of the Riverside street residents and the manufac- turers with plants in the flood area. it was requested of the board of finance that $20,000 be provided to start program of immediate relief, this after the board had approved other plans calling for expenditure of $20O, 900 for rip-rapping of banks,

Visiting Nurses! Presence in Homes M e ans Efficient Service Excel lent w ork
 Must Go
 On!

When the trim, blue. uniform of our local Visiting Nurse associa- ton appears in your neighbor- hood, it is almost certain that some sick person nearby is about to receive efficient care.
 Fourteen of these nurses aver age IF calls a day, and one out of every IA people in Waterbury have had the benefit of their splendid training during the past year. They answer calls from every section of the city for theirs is the only organized community service equipped to give bedside care, which includes the nursing of patients with communicable diseases.
 The local director, Miss Alice G. Peck, R.N. has stated that each visit costs the association $1.O0 but at no time has anyone been denied care when actually in need of it.
 The Visiting Nurse association is an organization of which Wa terbury might well be proud, for it carries on without the financial support of the government, state or city. Headquarters at 37 Central avenue, may be reached by tele- phoning 5-1135.
