OHNSTOWN PROBE URGED ON EARLE Steel Workers Charge Col- lusion Between City and Bethlehem Corp. Officials. ’ By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, September 30.—The Bteel Workers’ Organizing Committee has asked Gov. George H. Earle to Investigate “the activities of the local officials in Johnstown.” In a telegram sent to the Governor, Chairman Philip Murray of the 8. W. . O. C. stated: “Tuesday at a hearing of the Na- tional Labor Relations Board being held in Johnstown, Pa., concerning unfair labor practices of the Bethle- hem Steel Corp. Mr. Francis C. Martin, cashier of the United States National Bank of Johnstown, admitted that he had received $10,000 as chair- man of the Citizens' Committee of Johnstown from Sidney D. Evans who I8 the plant superintendent of the “ Bethlehem Steel Corp. in Johnstown for the purpose of turning over such money, which he did to Mayor Daniel Bhields of Johnstown “Martin further admitted that he subsequently turned over to Mayor Bhields other monies amounting to $30,000, all of which was received from Mr. Evans. “These funds were transferred dur- ing the strike which the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee was conducting at the Bethlehew plant at Johnstown, Collusion Is Charged. “We have heretofore publicly charged that throughout that strike Mayor Shields was operating in com- plete collusion with the officials of the Bethlehem Steel Corp. for the purpose ©of breaking the strike and to defeat the right of the steel workers to organize. “Further we have publicly charged that the Citizens' Committee, or- ganized in Johnstown, was merely a puppet of and organized completely by the officials of the Bethlehem Steel Corp in its effort to break the strike. “This testimony brought forth yes- terday at the hearing completely lustlfles our charge “This obvious bribery and corrup- tion of local officials certainly de- mands an immediate investigation by the State authorities into the Johns- | town situation. At Johnstown, representatives of the | steel company said they had no com- | ment to make on Murray's telegram. RECORDS PRODUCED.
