(By the Associated Press)
CLEVELAND, June 16. CIO shout
ed, "carry on!" to Its striking steel
workers today to counteract a "let's
call-the-whole-thlng-off' chorus from
non-strikers-who want to go back to
work.
- Hundreds of men gathered at
Johnstown, Pa., last night and raised
calloused hands in a united pledge
to continue the strike against the
Bethlehem plant there "for weeks
and weeks." if necessary to win a
signed contract.
But the Johnstown picket lines
were thinner; and plant officials re
ported work was going on "much
better."
A Chicago mass meeting heard
speakers1 lambast the four strike-affected
steel corporations, and then
sang the strike theme song, "sign on
the dotted line."
The back - to - work chorus was
heard on several sectors. At Johns
town a citizens committee, organized
.to. preserve .order., adopted a resolu
tion Insisting that there be "no com
promise with the right to work."
Rep. Clare Hoffman, militant
Michigan Republican who offered to
lead a citizen "army" to the aid of
Monroe, Mich., several days ago, ad
dressed the citizens' rally at John
stown and called upon "true Ameri
cans" to "Join hands and fight to
gether to triumph over disloyal forces
of disorder and destruction."
The tone was different on the ros
trum of the Chicago mass meeting,
where Lieut.-Oov. Thomas. Kennedy
of Pennsylvania was the principal
speaker, filling in .for, John L. Lewis,
who was obliged to cancel the en
gagements. . .
Bald Kennedy:
"No power on earth can stop in
dustrial unionism (CIO) under the
guidance, of that great outstanding
American (Lewis) who is leading or
ganized labor to the point where It
will compel collective bargaining in
every Industry in this nation.
Cleveland, however, became the
focal point of Interest aa the federal
government's mediation efforts took
form. The first meeting of a three
man mediation board which Secre
tary of Labor Perkins named yester
day, was called for tomorrow by its
chairman. Charles P. Taft. II. the
other mediators rre Lloyd K. Garri

pulsion, and there was no Indies
tlon today that the steel companies
or the CIO were ready to rest the
fate of 'the strike In the hands of
such a board.
"We will co-operate," was as far
as either side was willing to go."

that party's planks on relief and so

SENATE LEADERS
BACK COMPROMISE
ON RELIEF COSTS
Communities to Bear 25
Per Cent Under New Plan
Democrats Balk.' ""'
WASHINGTON, June 18. (AP)
The senate's democratic 'and' repub
lican leaders backed a compromise
today in the heated controversy over
local relief contributions.
Senator Robinson (D., Ark.) sub
mi tteq an amendment to tbe a 1.600. -000.000
relief bill requiring state and
cities If able, to bear the 36 percent
of the cost of non-federal projects.
It was suggested originally by. Sen
ator McNary (R., Ore.).
The proposal brought a three-way
split in the large democratic major
ity. Party membera who refused to
follow Robinson were divided over
two alternatives:
1. The original proposal of Senator
Byrnes (D S. C.) to shift 40 percent
of the federal relief burden to local
communities.
2. Continuance of the discretion
now held by President Roosevelt and
Works Progress Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins.
Byrt.es said he- would vote for Roo
tnson ; amendment. Leaders express
ed hope the senate would wind up
Its week-long debate over the relief
bill today.
Some democratic senators who us
ually follow Robinson's leadership
broke with him on the issue. Sen
ator bchwellenbach of Washington
denounced the amendment as a Re
publican proposal.
Senator Berkley (D... Ky.), often
mentioned as the new floor leader
should Robinson be appointed to the
supreme court, announced he would
vote f gainst his senate chieftain.
Robinson's proposal would permit
Hop k las to determine as at present
tne percentage which local commun
Itles should contribute toward relief
projects If they were unable to meet
the 25 prcent requirement.

today Oharlca Laughton, the actor,
had "effected aubstantlal reductions'
In taxes by turning over his Holly

"May Be Legal." i
He added that the entire arrange
ment "may be perfectly legal." But
It la Just another Illustration, he
aald, of methoda uaed to get around
American tax laws.
Roe well Maglll, undersecretary of
the treasury, remarked while com
mittee membera were asking about
more namea that George Westing
house, Jr., had established a corpo
ration In the Bahamas, capltallned at
83.000.000.
He said one year Westinghouse
might submit a tax return from
Newfoundland, another year from .
British Columbia, and a third from
Jamaica.
"There la no ' catching . up .with
him.' Maglll aald. adding that he
could name a dozen similar In

If Westinghouse could be Identified.
Hard to Catch,

or Schick, whom he described aa
manufacturer of electric re flora. .
The name of Wallaos Orovea, New

but Irey aald Grovea apparently acted
on the "honest conviction ha waa

of reducing hla Income tax pay
ments. In November, 1838. the witness)
aald, Schick formed a Bahamas oor
porstlon, to which he saalgned 8138,-
000.
The tax on this transfer was 817 -737,
Irey ssld, "but If Colonel Schick
had reported hla Income In a per
sonal return, the tax would
been much larger."
"Apparently not satisfied with this
saving," the Inveatlgator continued,
"Colonel Schick In December. 1838.
formed three other Bahama corpo
rations to which he transferred 87,
793 aharea of Bhlck Dry Shaver cor
