C. I. 0. Leaders Send Out
. Call to Resist Opening of
Indiana Harbor Mills
Massillon Is Peaceful
klA&SILLON, O., July 2. (AP)
Under bayonet protection, more
mice-locked teel mills opened here
today while rival camp& of Youngs
town Sheet and Tube employes were
stirred by reports of new plans to re
open plants at Indiana Harbor. Ind.
Del Elllnwood. secretary of the As
sociation of steel Employes, an in
dependent union opposed to the
C I O. strike, said he expected "some
definite word about reopening" the
Indiana harbor mills within a few
hours,
C.I.O. strike leaders Immediately
sent out a general call for pickets
to resist the move. Spotters were sta
tioned along the Lake Michigan shore
to "spread the alarm" at the first
Indication of non-strikers moving
back into the mills.
The Indiana harbor plant normally
employs about 7,000 men.
Spur Contract Efforts
Philip Murray, chairman of the
steel workers organizing committee,
spurred legal steps to wring signed
contracts from Independent steel
producers the chief point In dis
pute In the whole 7 -state strike area.
On behalf of the S.W.O.C.. Mur
ray filed petitions with the national
labor relations board at Pittsburgh
requesting collective bargaining elec
tions among employes at all plants
of the Bethlehem Steel corporation
and the Weirton Steel company.
"An overwhelming majority of the
employes of these companies have
already authorized the S.W.O.C. to
represent them for collective bargain
ing purposes," Murray said.
The back-to-work movement In
Massillon was carried out without
violence.
In a statement at Youngstown,
Frank Purnell, president of Sheet and
Tube, said he was preparing a let
ter to Chicago district employes; to
be released later in the day.
"We are preparing a letter to our
Chicago district employes again ex
plaining our situation. ,
Signed N'n Contract
The letter will state that Inland
Steel did not sign any agreement,
(the East Chicago plant of Inland
opened yesterday under a truce ar
ranged by Gov. M. Clifford Town
send of Indiana) contract or pact
and that we are not going to sign
anything.
"Any statement we make will
plainly state on the top that It Is
not to be construed as a contract
or an agreement or any other sub
terfuge." Both Purnell and W. B. Gillies,
vie president In charge of opera
tions. Indicated they will not re-open
the Indiana harbor plant until "ade
quate protection" for workers Is pro
Tided. Gates of Republic Steel's central
steel division swung open under pro
tection of steel -hel meted national
guardsmen, for the first time since
the strike started May 27.
Non-Strikers Jeered
Non-strikers, in about 115 auto
mobiles, quietly drove Inside. About
300 pickets booed and Jeered but
were kept away from the plant by
the troops.
Some foremen and office workers
also were sent Into Republic's union
drawn steel division. Harvey Elliott.
ft CIO picket captain, estimated their
number at about 100.
The reopening left Cleveland the
only city where Republic's sprawling
mills are closed completely. Reopen-
Free Installation of Auto Seat Covers
Offered by Factory Experts at Local Store
A complete miniature seat cover
factory will be on display at Fire
stone auto supply and service stores
at Ninth and Riverside on Saturday,
July 3, as one of the attractions of
the seat cover Installation sale now
In progress.
Factory experts will be on hand
to help customers select the proper
seat covers for their cars.
"Trailers have been put to many
different uses." Grant Farrls. man
ager of the Firestone auto supply and
ervice stores, stated, "but never be
fore, to our knowledge, has a trailer
been equipped to produce on the
spot a set of seat covers completely
tailored to fit a car.
"It is amazing to see the rapidity
with which the manufacturing equip
ment operates." said Mr. Farrls. "The
electric cutting machine cuts 50 to
100 thickness of heavy cloth In one
operation, and the sewing machine
takes 3200 stitches per minute."
"Wo are very fortunate to have
this novel factory in our own place
of business, because most people
know very little about the proper
Installation of seat covers, and here
we have factory experts on hand to
help customers select the proper
cover, or to make covers that will
solve, any customer's Individual cov
ering problem."
Mr. Farrls mentioned that seat cov
ers are always In heaviest demand
in the spring of the year. "Car win
dows are opened to the dusty roads,"
he said, "and. then too, many peo
ple drive In wet bathing suits which
is hard on the upholstery unless
properly covered.
. Well-kept upholstery in a car act
ually enhances Its trade-In value.
"This year, we have an exceptional
tropical cover," Mr. Farris continued,
"the Kool-Kar cover. It is a practical,
all-year-around cover made of a new
type of material which can be spong
ed or washed. Owing to Its flexibility
its fits more snugly and wears much
longer than tropical covers made of
paper or straw.

STRIKERSJY COPS

have any idea of getting into the
gate: It never was discussed."
Police witnesses previously had told
the committee they fired on strike
demonstrators to prevent them from
marching into the plant. The police
said they were afraid two or three
hundred people would have been kill
ed if the strikers reacned the Instde
of the building, where a number of
non-strikers were at work.
In response to questions by Sena
tor Thomas (D., Utah). Rlffe, a steel
workers' organizing committee offi
cial, asserted estcibiisnment of a
picket line was the only purpose of
the march.
trader In Hear
He said he was behind the march
ers when the clash with police re
sulting In ten fatalities took place.
"I didn't think we were doing any
thing wrong, though," he added.
He assertfd he was unable to see
what took place in the clash but
that he heard 40 or so shots and saw
the crowd retreat.
The size of the crowd was from
1200 to 1500, he estimated, whereas
police fixed it at from 2000 to 2500.
Riffs Bald about 25 per cent were
women and children.
No communistic literature was dis
tributed before the march and no
communistic speeches were made, he
asserted.
He added that all the union lead
ers were American citizens. He "did
not see anyone" armed with clubs
or stones, he said.
Qua Yuratovtc, union official, tes
tified police had repeatedly broken
up picket lines between the calling
of the strike May 26 and the shoot
ing May 30.
Some Carried Chiba
They Ignored published statements
by Mayor Kelly that peaceful picket
ing should be permitted, he said.
Yuratovic conceded that 10 or 15
of the marchers carried clubs, but
insisted they picked them up on the
field because they feared they would
be attacked by police.
One woman Identified as Lupe
Marshall was put Into the wagon
with her face smeared with blood.
A man. paralyaed from the waist
down, lay writhing almost under the
rear wheels of the police csr until
officers picked nim up and placed
him Inside.
Another striker, apparently dead,
was laid by the side of the road
with a scrap of newspaper under his
head.
Crackle of revolver fire and screams
of the wounded were plainly audible
in the sound recording, but few
words could be distinguished.
The lwt view before the fight. ns
began showed strikers talking with
police. Witnesses had said earlier
that they were begging to be per
mitted to establish peaceful picket
lines In front of the Republic Steel
company plant.
Chihhlng Pictured
The next scene disclosed demon
strators falling on the ground and
police charging forward, winging
their batons on the backs and heads
of the fleeing crowd.

wounds and multiple skull fractures.
The darkened, velvet-draped hear
ing room was packed with about 500
spectators as the newsreel wns
shown.
They viewed the film quietly, al
though gasps and murmurs were
audible at several of the most excit
ing points In the exhibition.
Senator Thomas (D.. Utah) told
newsmen he considered the film a
proof of the "extreme brutality" by
the police, and that It showed "no
provocation whatsoever" for the attack.
