STEEL WORKERS
MAP PLANS FOR
COMING BATTLE
UNIONIZATION ATTEMPT
OF MAJOR INDUSTRY
TO BE BITTER
CHICAGO. July 6 (TP).—Steel
workers In the Gary and Chicago dis
trlcts will call as mass meeting this
week to map their unionization cam
paign. The fove was planed by an
organizer from John L. Lewis’ com
mittee for organizing the nation’s
steel Industry. The organizer. Van
Bittner, said today—"We want the
500,000 steel workers in the Great
Lakes region organized into one, vast
industrial union. If steel mill own
ers meet our demands fairly, there
is absolutely no cause for trouble. In
any event, there will be no guerilla
warfare and wild-cat striker."
Gary, Ind., is the country’s second
greatest steel city, topped only by
Pittsburgh.
New confidence speeded up the
drive to unionize the steel industry
today.
The men who have declared a fight
to the finish to organize the nation's
steel workers have been given the
whole-hearted support of the lieuten
ant governor of Pennsylvania, th°
country’s biggest steel state.
Lieutenant Governor Thomas Ken
nedy pledged the state’s support to
the steel union drive in an impres
slve memorial ceremony held at j
Homestead, Pa., scene of America’s
bitterest strike battle—the Homestead
massacre of 1892.
Five thousand steel workers roared
their approval of Kennedy’s pledge
as thye saw in the llteutnant gover
nor’s promise the removal of all pos
sible state police and national guard
intervention in their drive.
Lieutenant-Governor Kennedy, who
also is the secretary-treasurer of th?
United Mine Workers of America,
warned the' steel industry that the
government of Pennsylvania is housed
at Harrisbur, not as he put it, "in
Pittsburgh, New York, or Birstol, the
home of former Senator Joseph
Gundy.’’
Said Kennedy: •
"This is a peaceful organization
drive. If the steel magnates throw I
the workers into the streets, the
Pennsylvania emergency relief board
will find that these people are en
titled to relief. The steel men will
have to know that a day of reckon
ing has come to Pensyvania.”
Kennedy's declaration was seen as
one of the biggest advances made by
the union organizers since John L.
Lewis's committee for industrial or
ganization announced its intention to
go into- the steel mills with its mem
bership drive. In ike proportion, it
was seen as a severe setback to the
iron and Ateel in titute which has
sworn resistance to the unionization
drive.
Lewis, the fighting head of the I
United Miners and prime mover in
the Industrial unionization drive, goes
into Gary. Indiana, tonight to carry
his union labor plea to steel workers
there. His address will be broadcast.
The crisis in the stee labor situa
tion, according to most opinions, is
fast approaching. Few believe that
the question of a closed shop or an
open shop in the steel industry can 1
be settled without a strike—and if a
strike is called, it threatens to be
one of the most bitter labor disputes
in the country's history.

JERUSALEM, Juy « (TP).—The
'ear that Arab antl-Jewish agitation

More than 100 Jews in Jerusalem
were made ill by food poisoning over

to trace the poisoning in an effort to
learn whether the Arabs are to blame
for the epidemic.
Bombings at Jaffa, Haifa, Nablus

vp a railroad bridge near Jerusalem
was foiled when the bomb was dis
covered by a guard. One Arab was

PARIS, July 6 (TP) —Fears that
recurrent riots are only "Dress Re
, hearsals” of a huge uprising to be
staged next week worried French
Premier Blum's government official*
today.
Apparently reliable reports said
French fascists, led by the outlawed
"Cross of Fire” organization, are
planning a demonstration for July 14,
which is Bastille day. More pessimis
tic observers believe that the holiday
will bring riots which may rival the
oatties which raged through the
streets of Paris with the exposure of
the Stavisky scandals.
Police and Mobile guards are find
ing the street fights more and more
difficult to put down. Yesterday’s
fight in the famous Avenue Des
Champs-Elysees was one of the most
bitter tussles yet staged by the fas
cisti.
The riots broke out when thousands
of "Cross of Fire" members, defying
a government order which outlawed
their organization staged a gigantic
parade which packed the Avenue
Des Champs-Elysees from curb to
curb. Police used their clubs freely
in their efforts to break up the rally
and the marchers responded by hurl
ing bicks, case tables, chairs and any
thing else which could be thrown. A
score of marchers and a dozen police
men! were seriously injured in the
battle. Several women spectators,
caught in the surge of the crowd
I were trampled seriously before they
were dragged to safety.
While the Paris riot was at its
height, another battle was going on
at Douai, in northern France. Right
wing agitators and leftists clashed
in a street fight. Another fight broke
out at Nimes in Provence Province,
but was quickly broken up by gendar
mes.
