They said the same attempts were re- sponsible for the open-shop clauses in several of the bituminous industry’s codes of fair competition. Secretary of Labor Perkins, at work on the testimony she planned to give pt tomorrow’s hearing on the steel mgreement, declined to comment on the ike situation. She said she would ve to hear from the two conciliators he department has sent to Pennsyl- ania before she could discuss the strike. Lewis Blames Company. ' John L.

Culbertson later explained the rea- n_for this stipulation was that Mrs. Ibertson, who has been playing solid- for three weeks, was continuing on erve alone and was very tired. Tonight's play developed into a see- w battle, with the American four ice forced down to a 5,630-point lead, fter having previously boasted a mar- of 6,640 points.

For the past decade they have been the premier . attraction of the annual Georgetown garden tour. Magnificent lawns, stately trees, rare flowers and the fine old mansion cautiously and extended, are inclosed within the reaches of the encircling wall. The garden plan, it is said, has been kept faithful to the original design of long ago, but many improvements have been made in recent years under Mr. Bliss' irection. Men consistently eminent in the Na- tion’s Capital were among the owners of the Oaks. In the list are included the names of William H. Dorsey, appointed by President Jefferson to be firsf®judge of the Orphans’ Court; Rob- ert Beverly, who married a sister of Col. John Tayloe of the Octagon house; ! John C. Calhoun, Secretary of War in [glg cabinet of President Monroe, and e Lafayette was a guest there on the occasion. of his American tour of 1824. Native of St. Louis. Mr. Bliss was born at St. Louis, Mo., 'August 5, 1875. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1900 and entered Government employ the same year, his first post being that of an appointment iin the office of the secretary of Puerto Rico, in the first civil administration of the new insular possession. From 1901 to 1903 he was private secretary to the Governor of the island, Judge William H. Hunt. Leaving San Juan, he entered the organized foreign service of the United States as consul at Venice, in which sssignment he spent one year. His next designation was that of second secre- tary to the embassy at St. Petersburg, Russia, where he remained until the end of January, 1907, in intimate con- tact with the most eminent diplomatists in Europe. The period was that of the Russo-Japanese War, and a dramatic incident of the time was the revolution of 1905. Mr. Bliss was an eyewitness of the events of Bloody Sunday, Jan- uary 22, when the mysterious Father Georgii Capon attempted to lead a mob to the Winter palace and the czar's troops fired into the crowd, with mur- derous effect. Appointed secretary of legation at Brussels, he was in that city when King Leopold II annexed the Congo, an important development in the colon- ial growth of Belgium. He was a dele- gate of the United States to the in- ternational convention to consider re- vision of the arms and ammunition regulations of the general act of Brus- sels of July 2, 1890. In 1908 he married Miss Mildred Barnes of New York, who ever since has been his devoted companion in all | his travels and a brilliant collaborator in all his labors. From Belgium Mr. Bliss was transfer- red to Buenos Aires as secretary of legation. His first two and a half years in Argentina, 1909-1912, gave him an opportunity to study the country and its problems from which he was to profit later. He was active in the fourth Pan-American conference and in the elaborate celebrations and the international exposition commemorat- ing the centenary of Argentine inde- pendence.

His knowledge of the Continental scene and personnel was invaluable to the United States follow- ing the events which led to American participation in the struggle. The State Department in 1916 changed the title of secrétary of the embassy to counselor. At different times Mr. Bliss was in charge of the entire complement of American interests in France. He was in close touch with the American delegation throughout the peace con- ference. In April, 1920, he was called back to ‘Washington that his knowledge of Eu- ropean conditions might be available to President Wilson and Secretary Bain- bridge Colby. He was appointed chief of the Division of Western European Affairs in the State Department, but after only a few months was Third Assistant Secretary of State.

President Harding appointed him Minister to Sweden, and at, Stockholm he became the intimate friend of King Gustavus and other members of the royal family. When the Crown Prince and Princess visited the United States he accompanied them on their tour. Fortunate Appointment. Mr. Bliss’ appointment as Ambassador to Argentina proved to be a fortunate choice. He went back to Buenos Aires with a thorough understanding of the language and of the psychology of the country. With a warm affection for the people as a background he renewed old friendships and made new ones. Presi- dent Marcelo Alvear he had known in Paris when the executive was Minister to France. His circle of acquaintance was extended by his appointment as Special Ambassador to the Centenary of Uruguay, 1930. He returned to Wash- ington May 18 last, on leave, and a few days later received a graceful ac- knowledgment of his three decades of diplomatic service in the award of an honorary doctor of laws degree be- stowed by the University of Missouri. Only 58 years of age, Mr. Bliss, of course, does not feel that he is ready to retire from active interest in the world’s sffairs. But for the present his only plans are for rest and relaxation in the comfort of his beautiful home. INGPENT BATLE MARK LI STRIE Guards Increased as Those| Out and Those Who Stick Threaten to War. By the Assoclated Press. HOLLYWOOD, July 29.—Incipient clashes between striking fllm techni- cians and those who refused to go out in the general strike of union workers in the motion picture studios brought a marked tensity to Hollywood tonight. Police and private guards about the film studio were increased for duty over the week end. -Producers expresed apprehension because of the growing unrest of the striking employes, some of whom have not worked for three weeks. Violence Is Feared. Precnuufinns were taken to guard de- veloped film. L‘fiut. Fred Stevens, directing police activities in the strike, confirmed the existence of reports of violence and threats, but said he had been unable to establish the complete facts. Stevens said he had been informed a messenger for Consolidated Film Industries Lab- oratory was attacked by two men when he stopped his motor car for a trafic signal. They accused him of “working for a scab outfit.” Stevens said also that police had been called to disperse a crowd in front | of the Consolidated laboratory follow- |ing reports of attempts to intimidate workers. The crowd was dispersed in an orderly manner, Stevens said. From union headquarters came de- nials there had been outbreaks. “Reports of violence are ridiculous,” said an official statement. “This strike is one of the most dignified ever con- ducted. None of our men has been in- volved in any act of violence in spite of intimation to that effect by the studios, who are are trying to incite public sympathy for their side of the controversy.” Camerman Tells of Threat. Ed Crongjager, a camerman who won the 1931 photography award for his work in “Cimarron,” reported two men “approached me in my hotel room last night and asked me if I did not think it could be well to reconsider my action in staying on the job at the studio.” Any hope of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences acting as an | arbiter in the strike was dissipated to- day when Patrick Casey, labor arbitra- tor of the producers, rejected ths acad: emy’s offer to serve in that capacity. “The proposition involved can only be settled by the two international unions, the International Alliance of i 2 I the American Federation of Labor and |-ho are signatory to the basic agree- ment (between procducers and labor). | sotics producers.
