Chicago. Oct 13.-Coineident with
police reports that three steel plants
in the Chicago district re-opened to-
day, word from Gary, Ind. announced
the general distribution Of anonymous
handbils urging overthrow of the fed
eral troops stationed in that city,
The handbills found throughout the
downtown section of Carr purported
to bear 4 proclamation of the COM
munist party of America" but We're
unsigned. Great mass meetings,
were advocated as the means of
usurping control
No disorders were reported from
the various steel centers in the dis
trict, although labor leaders We're said
to have distributed several hundred
additional pickets IN South Chicago,
Gary and Indiana Harbor
Reports indicated the largest num-
ber of pickets gathered in the vicinity
of the Wisconsin Steel company of
the International Harvester company,
and the Interstate Steel and Iron
company plants at South Chicago,
both of which re-opened today after
three weeks of idleness. Police said
approximately 500 men returned to
work at the Wisconsin plant where
the usual force is reported TO be 1000,
and that 200 men resumed operations
at the Interstate, which is said to en-
ploy 400 regularly
Approximately so per cent of the
normal working force also was re-
ported ty police when the Federal
Furnace company re-opened.
John Fitzpatrick. chairman OF the
national committee for organization
of steel workers, declared he did not
believe more than three per cent of
the men in the Gary plant OF the
United States Steel corporation had
returned to work.
The radical pamphlets were dis
tributed as I" a proclamation of the
communist party of America" The
heading of the proclamation was The
Capitalist Challenge You. Workmen. :"
The pamphlet declares that the
municipal government of Gary, sub
mitting to the control Of the steel
trust, had forbidden the working men
to hold public meetings and parades
and that for two weeks the working
men had permitted the steel trust

had stepped in. The steel trust was
in danger of being beaten. To save
Itself it byought into the field the
instrument forged ty the capitalists
to uphold their system of exploitation
and oppression, the state which i'll
spite Of all its democratic pretensions
is but the physical oppression of the
dictatorship of the capitalistic
classes"
The pamphlet concludes:
Gather in great mass meetings,
Bring to the attention Of the unen-
ightened workers the meaning of
martial law at Gary. Show them that
it is not enough to strike against low
wages and bad working conditions but
that the strike must be directed against
capitalism.
THE workers must compare the
power of the state. They must wrest
from the capitalists the means
through which the capitalists rule is
maintained
The answer to the dictatorship of
the capitalists is the dictatorship of
the workers"
