PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. IL.
With the men in the Car
negie steel mill in Clarion, Pa,
allowed to go home for the
first time in two weeks, after
being kept virtual prisoners in the
plant by the company in order to
avoid strike; the miners decided to
use this strategic moment to march
on the Clarion mill and draw these
workers into the strike. With this
move the striking miners will tie
up the key plant of the Carnegie
Steel Corporation, a subsidiary OF
U. S. Steel, whose terror is being
waged against the organization
Of both miners and STEEL workers.
No less than five Ambridge work
ers are still held incommunicado in
the Ambridge Jail without charges.
Many were released within the past
"a hours due to mass pressure and
a demand for the release of the
prisoners.
Take Out Writs
A writ of habeas corpus was
granted last night demanding the
presence of the arrested workers in
Beaver Common Pleas Court at 9
o'clock tomorrow morning, When
cause will be shown why the work
ers are being held without charges
Demands for the release of the
workers held should be Wired at
- Jn,- Com ofo17
Pleas Court, Beaver, Pennsylvania.
Those known in jail are: Edith
Briscoe, Cy. Ecker, Mae Ecker
Frank Hill, and John Bozecevich.
Application was made today to
the Superior Court for an appeal in
the case of James Eagan, Commu-
mist candidate for Mayor of Pitts
burgh, jailed during the attack or
the Ambridge picket line. Applica-
ton was also made for his release
on bond.
Mine Strike Intact
The strike of the miners remains
intact. Although week has nearly
passed since the latest maneuver
was made by President Roosevelt to
get the man back into the pits, these
efforts have met the same fate as
all previous attempts. A few thou
sand miners returned to work, but
rejoined the strikers ranks when
pickets appeared at the pits.
Thomas Moses, president of the
H. C. Prick Coke Co., and Philip
Murray, international vice-president
of The United Mine Workers, have
virtually agreed to calling off the
strike on the basis of the company
granting the check-off. The miners
recognize this step as merely adj
yantageous to the labor bureaucrats
who would thereby be assured of the
dueg income which will be collected
by the company.
The men insist that full union rec
ignition must be granted by the
company before they return to theil
Jobs, this to include recognition OF
the mine committees at the pits
thereby assuring that their grievances
will be dealt by their own repre-
sentatives.
Last night tremendous mass
meeting was held in Turtle Greek
Pa, to protest against the murder
Gus attacks ON the Ambridge stee
strikers last week, where Adam
Petrusak was murdered and many
others wounded. Miners and stee
workers from the surrounding ter
ritory attended. Mother Bloor, whose
speeches aroused workers and farm
ers in every part of the country, adj
dressed the meeting and was greeted
by the audience. A meeting of min
ers' wives is being held in Browns
vile, heart of the coke region, where
y the strike was begun. Mother Bloor
&and Agnes Smear, head of the Wo-
mems Auxiliary Of the National Min
ers' Union, are the speakers.
