LLNOI STRKERS ASK FRENDS AD Mill Hands of Marseilles Plan Parade of Protest Against Companies. B the Associated Press. MARSEILLES, IIl, October 1.— Striking mill hands of this paper and box ' factery city marshaled their friends and families for a parade of protest today against the failure of two companies to meet union recog- nition and wage demands. Involved in the walkout were 645 workers, or one-seventh of the 4,500 population. Industrial activity had slowed almost to a standstill with only | one factory, employing a score of men, atill operating. The 295 employes of the Certain- Teed Roofing Co. plant, who struck on August 22, were joined yesterday by 350 girls and men on the pay roll of the National Biscuit Co. paper car- ton factory. Wage Increases Sought. Strikers sought wage increases of 10 cents an hour and recognition of Federal Labor Union, No. 20268, af- fillated with the American Federation of Labor, to which both groups be- longed. General Manager E. M. McMahon of the carton concern replied wages al- ready were the highest in Illinois for the type of work involved and that the | company did not wish to recognize the union. Less than a month after the Cer- tain-Teed employes walked out, wage increases of 10 to 15 per cent were granted in 20 company plants else- where. The Marseilles workers main- tained their strike on the union rec- ognition issue. Peaceful picketing was in effect at the closed plants. | Elsewhere in Ilinois, three other | strike negotiations occupied workers, employers and conciliators. At Kankakee 14 men and 4 women | conferred with union leaders after the Kroehler Furniture Co., involved in a strike of 300 persons two weeks | ago, refused to re-employ them. Parley to Be Called. Director Martin P. Durkin of the | Btate Labor Department planned to | call together, at a time and place to be decided later, the principals | in a controversy involving the In- | ternational Brotherhood of Elccmcal‘ Workers and the Illinois Power & | Light Co. which operates in more | than 60 downstate communities. Final settlement of a Midsummer strike at the Northwestern Barb Wire | Co. plant in Sterling was sighted | last night. L. W. Beman, regional di-, rector of the National Labor Relations | Board. said the company intended to re-employ within two weeks 44 union ! men who claimed they were “locked out” when others went back to work. | The Sterling strike was the first carried on by a union affiliated with | the John L. Lewis Committee for In- dustrial Organization. DEATH LAID TO POTION | Detroit Girl, 19, Found Dead. Two Notes Are Left. | CHICAGO, October 1 (P).—The death here of Miss Dorothy Jones, 19, | troit, was attributed by police to-| day to an overdose of a sleeping | potion. | She was found dead last night in| 8 hotel where she registered Monday night. Police said two notes were | found. One, addressed to her mother,i Mrs. Ione Jones, Three Rivers, Mich., said, in part: “I don't know where I'm headed for, but I'm not afraid.” The other, addressed to “Joe,” said: | “You understand, I know. Please change.” | ! STRIKING STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASSES By the Associated Press. CAMPBELL, Ohio, October 1.— After a four-day strike, in which po- lice once resorted to tear gas bombs to disperse them, approximately 700 Memorial High School students re- turned today to classes under an agreement reached with William Glass, School Board president. i Student strike leaders and Glass announced the agreement provided that the board and not Supt. of Schools A. S. Klinko should decide whether Michzel Graban, journalism instructor, is to be transferred to a grade school. Klinko's order transferring the popular instructor precipitated the strike last Friday, when hundreds of students assembled at Graban's home, hoisted him to their shoulders and paraded through the streets of this industrial suburb of Youngstown. Glass said the students agreed they should resume classes before disposi- tion could be made of Graban's case. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1936.
