Police stop
sit-in strike
in Poland
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - In
dependent Polish workers
demanded Monday that a
deputy premier be sent to talks
in a town where police broke up
a workers’ sit-in over the week
end. Eviction of the trade un
ionists from an administration
building was the first known use
of police force against protest
ers since labor unrest flared
here last summer.
The independent union
Solidarity wants Deputy Premier
Stanislaw Mach to begin the
talks in the southern Polish town
Nowy Sacz by Thursday, ac
cording to a union spokesman
reached by telephone. The un
ion also wants representatives
of the Interior Ministry to explain
the decision to evict the protes
ters, he said.
A Solidarity delegation made
the demand at a meeting with
the town mayor.
Police on Sunday removed
some 46 protesting workers
from a building they had oc
cupied since Friday. The official
PAP news agency said the
workers left peacefully and
there was no violence. Warsaw
Radio said the workers were
“forcibly removed.” Solidarity
confirmed the action was
peaceful.
The sit-in began over a
number of local demands and
was the latest in a series of
similar protests which have
erupted in widely scattered
parts of the country.
Miecyslaw Jagielski, another
of Poland’s six deputy premiers,
went to Moscow at the head of a
delegation to a meeting of
Comecon, the Soviet bloc
economic community. No de
tails were available, but he was
believed likely to talk with Soviet
officials about Poland’s shaky
economy an labor unrest.
On Saturday, Solidarity, the
nation’s largest independent
union, staged a nationwide
one-day work stoppage to
demand a five-day, 40-hour
workweek in the first wide
spread protest action this year.
On the eve of that protest the
Soviet Union issued its harshest
attack to date on the labor un
rest here, blaming “counter
revolutionaries,” an extremely
severe charge in Soviet-bloc
terminology and the same one
used Saturday by Polish party
leader Stanislaw Kania against
private farmers seeking to form
an independent union of their
own.
U.S.- intelligence reports of
Soviet and East bloc troops at
Poland’s borders have added to
Western fears that if the labor
unrest here continues Moscow
will intervene as it did in Cze
choslovakia in 1968 during a
period of liberalization.
Solidarity, the first recognized
independent union in the Soviet
bloc, was formed as a result of
last summer’s crippling strikes,
which paralyzed the already
hard-pressed economy. The
strikes brought about the fall of
party leader Edward Gierek, a
number of liberalizing reforms
and increased access to the
communications media for the
Roman Catholic Church.
