Bv the Associated Press YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, June 4| Philip Murray, gray-haired chieftain of John L. Lewis' steel forces, un- compromisingly declared a union con- tract must be signed as he scheduled his first peace conference today in a hloody seven-State strike against three major producers. As the C. I. O. steel workers Organ- 17ing Committee added a mine organ- | 17ing campaign to its widespread Great | Takes battlefront in an effort to choke | off supplies to one-sixth of the steel industry Murray said he would confer at Columbus with Ohio’s Gov- ernor, and asserted I'm not going to settle this strike until Tom Girdler signs an agree- ment." | Girdler, 60-vear-old, pipe-smoking | chairman of Republic Steel Corp., | the only one of three concerns at- tempting 10 operale in the face of militant picket lines, was Murray's target at a strikers’ mass meeting last night in Warren, Ohio. Declaring that Girdler “wasn't & steel man —he was chief of the police force at Jones & Laughlin before he was dragged by the bootstraps to be resident of Republic” the slender S. W. 0. C. leader added: “I'm here to tell Tom that he's not going to get much more ore are Campaign in Two States. A few hours before, he had an- nounced in conjunction with a meeting of key leaders along the Ruffalo- Chicagn strike front, which has made nt least 72,000 men idle, that a cam- paign would be started for members in Minnesota and Michigan ore fields of the three concerns. It is in these States that Republic's Northern mines are centered. The Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and Inland Steel Corp., other major in- dependents who have tantly re- fused to sign union contracts, are making no attempt to operate their sprawling mills in the 9-day-old strike Decision of Gov. Martin L. Davey to confer with Murray, director of strike activities in the greatest test of the S. W. O. C.'s vear-old organiza- tion drive, was disclosed in Columbus by John Owens, Ohio director of the C:1.0. While Davey declined comment on ® mwo-hour discussion with Owens close advisors to the Governor said he had taken a firm neutral stand in the econtroversy and that his main objec- tive was to restore peace to the bled Northeastern Ohio steel area Gov. Davey's conference followed 3ecret executive mansion parleys with Girdler and S. C. Argetsinger, Sheet Tube vice president. The Governor was understood to be insistent on only one point—that both sides guard against anything which would pre- | cipitate & general outbreak of violence. | Two more Ohio National Guard ob- servers were sent 1o strike bringing the total to eight Skirmishing was confined chiefly to statements and counterstatements as Republic offered a $1,000 reward for arrest and conviction of persons sniping_at its planes carrying food to the Warren and Niles mills. More than 100 shots were fired at them | yesterday, a Republic spokesman said The S. W. O. C.’s plan to line up Minnesota and Michigan ore miners was described by Murray as & move- ment to cut off sources supplying the concerns with raw materials for their giant mills con, trou- points, C. 1. 0.

Republic sources asserted the danger of & food shortage at the Niles plant had passed temporarily with the im- provement in flying conditions permit- ting planes running the blockade to skim Jow over the mill and drop bundles of provisions into huge marked circles Frank E. Flynn. Republic's plant manager at Warren, had expressed concern that the supply in the Niles plant might be “running close.” The steel union sought at Cleveland —take-off point for at least part of Republic’s food planes—a way to en- force its “strike or starve” blockade &t Niles and Warren, Samuel Handelman, Cleveland S. W O. C. attorney, said he sent a telegram to the Federal Bureau of Air Naviga- tion at Washington charging Republic was using unlicensed planes. Other S. W. O.

Damich, S. W. O.

At Canton, where comparatively | peaceful conditions have prevailed along the 9-mile picket line, civil au- | thorities prepared to handle crowds | of C. 1. O, sympathizers expected Sun- | day for a strikers’ mass meeting to be | addressed by Murray. A sudden strike | following a dispute over minimum wage demands left the Timken Roller Bear- ing Co. and its 6,500 production em- | ploves idle and its gates picketed today. Howard Da president of the C. 1. O. Steel Workers' Orgenizing Committee Local Union, announced that employes had voted the walk- out after union officers and Frank | A. Hardesty, C. I O. sub-regional | director, failed to settie the dispute | in & 213-hour meeting with the man- | Agement. Davis said the employes wanted higher and more uniform | minimum wages and would enforce the ‘ strike until their demands were met. William Umstattd, president of Tim- | ken, flew back to Canton from Detroit when hs learned of the strike. [ Postmaster General James A. Far- ley in Washington, target of a suc- cession of protests from both sides over handling of parcel post mail into struck Republic plants, was sent an- other S. W. O.

S EVOYTOLD OF ITALIAN AIS Ciano Says Spanish ‘War Can Be Settled Without Threat to Europe, By ihe Associated Press ROME, June 4 —The United States was assured today by the Italian gov- ernment that the Spanish civil war could be settled without any further threat to the peace of Europe. Count Galeazzo Ciano, Premier Mussolini’s son-in-law and foreign min gave the assurances to United States Ambassador William Phiilips. At the same time yesterday, the ancient town of Civita Vecchia, which was once the seaport of papal Rome, | trembled with the roar of field artil- ery engaged in a realistic sham battle | Blomberg, | for Marshal Werner visiting rman war von minister Chancellor Hitler's minister came to Rome during the height of Spanish tension to learn at first hand what ¢ could contribute to the Rome- The field marshal, Mussolini and Ciano were reported in previous con- versations to have determined that the atiack on Bilbao by insurgents, whom they recognize as the real gov- ernment of Spain, must be pressed. They also were understood to be in agreement on joint action in Spain if further incidents such as the bomb- ing of the German cruiser Deutsch- land and the Italian auxiliary ship Barletta are repeated The American Ambassador's visit to the foreign office was arranged & week ago before Italy and Germany withdrew from the international non- intervention patrol of Spain to resume freedom of action for such reprisals as they considered necessary to de- fend their ships on duty with the patrol Phillips, however, took the occasion to bring up the Spanish situation in- formally, expressing the American hope the crisis would be settled with- out recourse to arms. Ciano said Italy shared the United States’ desire and had every expecta- tion it would be. His expression to Phillips was seen as an indication Italy was ready to reconsider her position in relation to the “Hands-off-Spain” Committee and to resume international co-operation when British compromise proposals assuring the safety of patrol ships are considered.
