PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-The
entire police force in all districts
north of Ridge Ave. has been as
signed to strike breaking duty at
the ski Ball-bearing plant at Front
and Erie. 900 of whose workers have
been carrying on a militant strike
for almost a month under the lead
ership of the Anti-Friction Bearing
Workers Union.
Three hundred cops are patrol
ling the sidewalks in front Of the
plant, and numerous motorcycle
squads are keeping everybody of the
streets within a radius of six
blocks from tn plant. In addition,
two cops convoy every trolley car
arriving at the plant and with the
help of a motor squad escort scabs
into the plant in the morning and
out of it in the evening.
Up to Tuesday, scabs we're taken
to and from the plant in special cabs
and buses supplied by the P. r. T.
But the militant picketing of the
strikers forced many of them to
turn back, and turned over several
others, thus preventing the ,scabs
from entering the plant. When scabs
began using the trolley cars, squads
of pickets boarded each car and
took care of them that way,
The workers are replying to this
wave of terror, with increased mill
fancy and larger picket lines.

5000 Workers
in Otis Steel
Ready to Act
Demand so Per Cent
Pay Raise; Alarm
A. A. Misleaders
By AL. BARRY

CLEVELAND, April 15.-The 5000
steel workers in the Otis Steel are
preparing for for action, not only
against the boss, but against the
labor takers who have held them
back from action.
There is a local of the Anal
gamated Association "a. F. of L.
steel union here with several hun
dred attending meetings. The A. A,
leaders are a bit alarmed because
the workers don't pay dues. When
the leaders ask the workers why
they don't pay dues the workers
openly answer, I'VE will pay dues
when we see that you are fighting
for us"
For the last three weeks the talk
has been that the A. A. leaders who
are coming from Pittsburgh will be
thrown out of the window. The
local leaders have become alarmed
and are sending the news to Pitts
burgh and are appealing for help
Every week one of the International
leaders comes to Cleveland to speak
before the local meetings. After
they speak for hours there is no
time left to take up the urgent
demands Of the workers.
The workers are demanding a SO
per cent blanket increase, and rec
ognition of the union 1t is this
action that the A. A. leaders are
trying to halt. That is why Mike
Tighe, Miller, and Leonard are
coming from Pittsburgh every week
to speak to the local meetings.
The fear that the rank and file
would Kick out the officials. has
forced the leaders to elect a small
committee Of five to demand rec
ignition. The company, knowing
the moods of the workers, has
granted the recognition in order to
quiet the workers. For a while the
leaders could breath freely and they
came to the leaders boasting that
had it not been for them, they would
not have gotten recognition. Now
new fear has gripped them. The
rank and file is not satisfied, they
are demanding a wage increase to
meet the rising cost Of living.
The rank and file workers are
now preparing to have company
police thrown out of the union. AT
the same time the fight against the
leaders and the company is being
shifted to the various departments
Actions in the departments are
breaking out all over the plant. A
commit ee for higher wages was
elected. Fights for safety devices
are taking place. In short time
as the action indicates, the steel
workers are going to take more de-
cisive action.

Union Recognition
UNI. A. Leaders Sign
Scab Contract in Effort
To Break Strike

ROSLYN, Wash. tBy MaiD The
coal miners of the Roslyn eli
Ellen field struck last Sunday for
recognition of the Western Miners
Union, which was organized last
November as a split from the U. M.

the abuse of the miners by the
Northwestern Improvement Co.,
section of the Northern Pacific
Railroad.
Last Christmas Eve a militant
miner of the Western Miners

Miners Union were fired for their
activities, and to top it all the coal
operators have signed the contract
with the officials of the q. NJ. w. of
A., which has a handful of mem
bers in this field.
Elect Strike Committees
The men wanted to strike last
winter, but were misled by the talk
Of the IN r. A. will fix things up
and the district officials. Action
was postponed from Jan. to Feb.
IL, then when the two miners were
fired the men wanted to strike, but
the officials postponed it to April l.
This time the rank and file took
the situation in its own hands, voted
to strike and elected broad rank and
file strike committees at their locals
to lead the strike and mass picket
ing has already begun.
The officials of the U, M. W. of A.
have posted notices that the con-
tract was signed and that the men
go back to work, that is, to soab.
Most Of the rank and file Of the
U. M. w. of A. have refused to
work. Only the bosses suckers at

picketers.
