SHOKEOFBATILE HANES DVERTEE Mahoning Valley Plants Op- erating 90 Per Cent, Operators Claim. What has happened to the strike ia “little steel,” which at one time made 100,000 workers idle and has cost 16 lives? Here are the find- ings of an Associated Press survey of the Ohio strike front, focal ground in John L. Lewis’ campaign to unionize the steel industry. By the Associated Press.

B. Gillies, Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. vice president. “They're operating at a loss,” is the response of Joseph Gallagher, union leader. Near & picket headquarters the wind flutters a sign: “Victory is near. Stay out till they sign.” Most union leaders agree a majority | of strike-affected workers have re- turned to the blast furnaces and open hearths, to the rolling mills and the | multitude of operations that turn iron | ore into the sinews of industry. Will the C. I O. try to close the | . Plants again when its leaders feel the | time is propitious? None is commen ing on that; they point out the stri atill is officially on, and they say hun- dreds of workers continue idle. Steel Men Determinea. ‘The steel makers point only to their | rates of operation—generally the best | since 1929—and reiterate they will | not give the union any signed con- | tracts, which the companies hold would lead to “the closed shop and checkofr.” Gillies said his concern's 90 per | cent production compares with a pre- | strike rate of 70. In Youngstown alone Sheet & Tube employs 15,000 | men “About 60 men indicted or arrested | were not taken back when we re- | opened with the help of the National Guard,” he said. “Everybody else who could get in was taken.” | Gallagher estimated 500 C. 1. O.| members were still outside Sheet'& | Tube mills here and between 1,200 and | 1,500 were CAITVINR on the strike at | Republic Steel Corp. plants in Youngs- | town. | Along busy Poland avenue, where | two were killed in one night of rioting, there were only lines of auto- mobiles owned by workers. “They won't let us picket,” Gallagher said. “They throw them in jail. Be- sides, there isn't much point in picket- ing. We know they're operating, but | it’s costing them plenty.” | Republic employs about 8,500 in . Youngstown. ‘ Pickets Active at Niles. North of this steel center pickets were playing cards at a post across the street from the Niles plant, where | 1200 work. At Warren a hundred | or more men lounged in groups on | Pine street, which leads to a Re- | public gate. A crowd stood at a commissary next to union headquar- ters. Inside Mrs. Dean Perrim, in charge, stirred six kettles of soup 101" the pickets. | Men were pouring sugar and pota- | toes into bags. Twice a week, strikers | line up to get food for their families. | The C. 1. O, aided by donations, pays | the bills, Mrs. Perrin said; Michigan's | United Automobile Workers sent 28 | tons of canned food. | | Warren picket posts were manned | up to the limits of a court injunc- | tion. Strike Leaders Harry Wines end J. W. Grujciar said there were 3500 striking Republic employes to | keep them manned. The plant nor- | mally employs 6,000. “The 3500 still on strike include come of the best tin-mill workers in the country and some of the best cold- | strip men.” Grujciar said—but Re- | public officials reported the Warren | mill was operating at about 90 per | cent | Pickets Watch Shifts Change. | Pickets watched the shifts change at Republic's Canton plant without breaking up their card game under | & tree opposite the main gate. 4 “Come back in a week,” one picket said. “There’ll be some news.” Picketing continued at Massillon, | but there was little apparent to re- | mind the city of the July 11 rioting, in which two men died. More pickets | were on duty in Cleveland, where Re- public employes 7,000. Republic’s Chairman Tom Girdler and C. I O’c Chairman John L. Lewis continue to stand out in the strike picture. Only last week Girdler expressed belief Lewis' organization was “on the downgrade,” and said he expected no turther trouble from the steel strike. Lewis has been silent lately. Steel men wonder what his plans are. Some ©of them, at least, doubt he has called SPECIAL THIS WEEK ONLY Ventilating SLAT DOORS Regular Price, $7.50 & %67 These are well-built doors with ?flmnelsv permitting cool ven- 3x8.8.
