COAL GAS FELLS
FAMILY OF Nine

Saved from possible death by
coal gas fumes escaping from a
stove, a family of nine Washing,
tonianS was recovering today.
The near tragedy occurred after
a gay family party, and it was
only a mothers fear that one Of
her children was i'll from eating
ice cream that led to the rescue.
Awakened in the night by one
Of her seven children, Mrs. George
Hoffman, Of 816 L st. S. E., dis.
covered that the entire family was
i'll. The 35-year-old mother, i'll
herself, worked frantically over
her children thinking that they
had become i'll from ice cream
eaten earlier in the night.
It was not until Mrs. Hoffman
went down to the first floor Of
their house that she discovered il
was coal-gas fumes escaping from
a stove that had overcome the
family.
Throwing open every window in
the house, Mrs. Hoffman ran sew

In Decision
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

U.N.SD In the most sweeping
indictment ever drawn, the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board to-
day found Tom M. Girdler's Re-
public Steel Corporation guilty of
violation of the Labor Relations
Act on 10 separate counts, and
ordered reinstatement of hundreds
thrown out Of work in the Little
Steel" strike Of last spring.
The board issued a blanket
order calling on the company to
cease and desist from all inter-
ference with organization among
it's workers. It directed the COM
pany's employe representation
plan be dissolved. Repayments
of wage losses suffered by, virtue
of the shutdown Of the company's
Canton, (Ohio) tin plate mill be-
tween May and May 10, 1897
were ordered for all employees.
ALL MUST BE PAID
Finally, the board directed that,
effective as of yesterday, the com.
pany reinstate upon application
every man who went out on
strike last May and has not re:
turned to work-even If it is
necessary to fire men now work.
ing wh0 were then hired to re.
place strikers. This drastic order
was backed up by the decree that,
effective as of yesterday, for each
day before this order is complied
with, the men not so reinstated
shall be paid a days wages. This
means that, if Republic Steel
fights the board decision in court
and loses, wages accumulated in
the interim will have to be paid
by Republic.

By THEODORE HUNTLEY

A resolution looking to the
establishment of a series Of Ameri
can spas on public reservations in
various parts of the country, was
introduced in the Senate today by
Senator Joseph O'Mahoney OF
Wyoming.
Its appearance confirmed re
ports current earlier in the week
that the proposal would find re
enforcement in Congressional &C.
ton.
Senator OMahoney, who sug
gested the possibility of using min.
eral springs in wyoming for this
purpose, including those in Vel
lowstone Park, said he would seek
to have the measure acted on dur
ing the present session Of Con
gress.
It provides for a national survey
by the Surgeon General of the
Public Health Service, in coopera'
ton with public and private
agencies, of all mineral springs
and natural health resorts on pub
licly owned lands or which, as in
the case of Warm Springs, Ca, are
dedicated to a public or philan'
thropic purpose.
The resolution directs the Sur
geon General to report his find
ings and recommendations to
Congress as soon as practicable.
It authorizes an appropriation Of
$50, 900 for the survey.

REORGAN|ZING'
DEFEAT STUNS
new DEALERS
Fear Future Plans
Are in Jeopardy
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

N.N.sJ Stunned by the crush
ing revolt in the House against the
reorganization bill, Administration
leaders today weighed a rising tide
Of Congressional independence
against five years of New Deal
dominance and found President
Roosevelt's program hanging in
the balance.
The reorganization bill, urgently
sought by Mr.. Roosevelt, was
killed last night by the House by
a vote of 204 to 1876, which sent
it back to committee for further
study-a "pigeon-hole DEATH"
Facing crucial issues over taxa
ton, wages and hours, relief and
recovery, New Deal leaders were
frankly fearful Congress may take
the legislative program in its own
hands for the balance of the
session.
PRESIDENT SILENT

own counsel today.

whether the President would seek
to renew the fight, went I'M

It was held significant that

bill urged that Congress imme'

to promote business and help stem

declared:
"Now is the time for Congress
to get together and enact con-

THIRD REBELLION
The crushing Administration de-
feat, which came after eight days
of spectacular battling, an unpre'
cedented volume Of protests, and
powerful Administration pressure,
was the third major House revolt
since Congress was called in spe'
cial session last November.
An immediate effect of the vote
was to imperil the wage-hours
bill, which was crushed in. the
first big revolt in the special ses

rejected the Administration spe
