SHIP WINS FIGHT
WITH FIRE AT SEA
Captain Tells of Victory
Achieved by Use of Mod
ern Equipment.
BT the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 30.—Capt.
Edgar A. Chelton, dark-haired, 40
year-old skipper of the Clyde Mal
lory liner Shawnee, wiped his brow
early today and sighed, "We had a
busy day."
On the pier alongside, 100 passen
gers were streaming into the arms of
anxious friends and relatives who
had followed reports of Are aboard
the vessel yesterday as the liner
came up the Atlantic Coast from
Florida.
None was dead and none reported
injured.
Capt. Chelton told a story of con
quest by a steel ship and modem
maritime equipment over a raging
Are in the forward hold arid angry
seas that swept over the bow and
sides in a 65-mlle-an-hour gale.
The weather was so bad most pas
sengers were seasick; few left their
staterooms; none could be found who
had seen either smoke or Are.

FUNERAL RITES HELD
FOR JAMES T. GIBBS
Past Potentate of Almai Temple
to Be Buried in Bock
Creek Cemetery.
Funeral services for James T. Gibbs,
71, past potentate of Almas Temple
and a former grand master of Dis
trict Masons, were to be held at 2
p.m. today at the Hines funeral par
lors under auspices of the Grand
Lodge of Masons. Burial was to be
in Rock Creek Cemetery.
Mr. Oibbs, a well-known lawyer
who had practiced here since 1910,
died Thursday at his home, 2918
Glover driveway, after an illness of
several weeks. He was a native of
Virginia and came to Washington in
1881.
He waa potentate of Almas Temple
in 1913-14 and grand master of
Masons in 1927 He also was a mem
ber of the Scottish Rite, represented
Almas Temple in the Imperial Coun
cil for nine terms and was a member
of the Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets
of the Enchanted Realm of Washing
ton.
Mr. Glbbe Is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Gretchen A. Gibbs; a daughter
by a previous marriage. Mrs. Florence
Gibbs Johnson, and two grandsons,
Walter and Richard Johnson.
Strike
(Continued From First Page.)
remaining until shortly before last
midnight. The Governor, meanwhile,
had come to Detroit for the week
end.
"It will work out all right,” the
Governor commented today when in
formed that attempts in Washing
ton to arrange for negotiations be
tween General Motors and the union
apparently had failed again. Earlier
be had said;
"I have plans which I could not
put into effect while Federal con
ferences are in progress. If I don’t
get good news from Washington I will
be prepared to act immediately.”
He declined today to discuss his
plans and indicated that he expected
Secretary of Labor Perkins to con
tinue her endeavors to compose the
differences betwn the two groups.
There were reports in labor circles,
however, that Gov. Murphy might
issue subpoenas for leaders of both
sides to appear before the State De
partment of Labor at a hearing to be
conducted by the Governor. This ac
tion would be similar to a request by
Miss Perkins, who asked Congress for
power of the Federal Government to
conduct such a hearing.
Court Appeal Held Proper.
“The courts offer one peaceful
method of settlement," Murphy said.
“Another is a conference. General
Motors’ appeal to the courts is en
tirely proper.”
He referred to the injunction the
corporation is seeking in the Genesee
County Circuit Court at Flint, Mich.,
to eject "sit down” strikers from two
Fisher body plans. A hearing on the
petition will be held Monday.
Sheriff Thomas W. Wolcott said at
Flint that “When orders come from
the Circuit Court for me to remove
these men I will do so.” The corpora
tion never pressed for action under a
previous injunction it obtained against
the "stay In” strikers. Gov. Murphy
said General Motors officials were op
posed to using force to remove th#
men.
Refuses to Use Troops.
The Governor told the non-union
demonstrators that he would not use
troops to eject the strikers. National
Guardsmen have been In Flint since
a riot occurred outside one of the
Fisher plants January 11.
George Gilbert, spokesman for the
demonstrators, said that "Due to the
fact that the Governor will not be
back until Monday we feel that we
cannot accomplish anything over the
week end, but unless there Is a definite
and satisfactory solution by Monday
we will be back."
At their conference with Gov. Mur
