We bow to all of them. Holland, Michigan, each year announces to the world that "It's tulip time in New Orleans broadcasts its colorful Mardi Gras; Pasadena has her Ritual of Roses; Maryland her Festival of Flowers; 4 Alabama her Cotton Carnival-and there are many others, all of them with something definite to offer by way of inviting the outside world to lend an ear to what's going on.

Elwood is turning a new thought over in its mind that it could very well focus the attention of the rotogravure artists on the lowly picture tomato- a our pageant of pulchritude to stock in trade! Just glorify the humble fruit so familiar to the tables of America; picture a princely panorama to publicize such the a priceless product; picture and plaudits the pyrotechnics. We too, could of the populace, the pomp stage a coronation, and have -rul- our own gracious King and ers of a rich realm-Emperos and Empress of Elwood's Environs and the Land beyond Monarchs over miles of mellow meadows of Tomatoland! Zounds! What a picture! We should have to call out the Guard to keep the newsreel men from mobbing us for favored position. Of course this is only an idea now, but who knows to what! proportions it might grow? If we, concentrate on the topic of Tomatoes there can't be any doubt about the result. Although it has been said that the path of civilization has been paved with tin cans, who cares? After all we shouldn't scold, or boast; or flaunt fictitious flags, or belliake; because it's so much easier to do things worth while. The things we prepare for, sooner or later manage somehow to arrive, so let's prepare for a theme on tomatoes! GOOD Kent Dawson to Attend Indiana Camp of Legion Kent Dawson, son of Mr.

STEEL FIRMS TO OPEN FACTORIES AT YOUNGSTOWN Companies Reveal Plans as Mediation Board Opens Conference at Cleveland. REPUBLIC CO. WINS IN COURT DECISION (United Press) Cleveland, 0., June Federal Steel Mediation Board opened strike peace negotiations with union and company leaders today at the same hour two struck companies announced plans to defy picket lines and reopen plants employing 32,000 men in the Youngstown area. Republic Steel and Youngstown Sheet Tube announced that they would attempt to re-open closed plants at Youngstown at 7 a.

m. tomorrow, with assurance of police protection. Republic 'Steel also won court order restraining pickets who have forced the Warren and Niles plants to operate on a restricted schedule with work-, ers living inside. The order limlited pickets to 12 at the Niles plant gate and to 52 around the big Warren plant, ordering them to lay down their clubs and picket on the side of the street farthest from the company property. The company announcements and the court order came as C.

I. O. chairman John L. Lewis and his aides met with the three-man mediation board in Cleveland "to explore the possibilities" of a peaceful settlement of the seven state steel strike. The conflict is now 26 days old and keeping perhaps 80.000 0.000 men from their jobs 'as the strikers demand that the companies sign union contracts.

Activities on both sides indicated that "showdown" on reopening of the plants despite doubled pickets would come tomorrow. Youngstown, June second death occurred tonight as a consequence of last night's clash between CIO steel strike pickets, their sympathizers and police, bringing to twelve the total number of deaths due to violence on the seven-state strike front since its start twentyfive days ago. The injured list mounted to twenty- six and may reach fifty. Police announced the death of James Eperjesi, a picket, from buckshot wounds. Meanwhile, state police at Johnstown, took virtual control of Bethlehem Steel's Cambria works, forcing a shutdown 'under but leaving a skeleton working crew for maintenance.

With martial law at Johnstown and with fresh tragedy at Youngstown, the government's three peacemakers at Cleveland prepared for tomorrow's mediation conferences there. The mediators will find, as they sit down, to conferences with leaders of steel and leaders of the C. I. this situation: 1. Martial law prevailing at Johnstown, with the huge Cambria works of Bethlehem Steel forcibly closed by order of Pennsylvania's New Deal: governor, George Earle, enforcing his dictum with state soldiers.

2. Tense situations in Ohio's Mahoning valley, where back-to-work movements, officials say, threaten to cause trouble, as C. I. O. picket lines remain adamant.
