Probable Showers MARKETS Stocks Easier; Wheat Strong; Cotton Up VOLUM.E 2—NUMBER 161 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.

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.

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.
