boos, however, Mayberry's suggestion
OF compliance with the Governors
appeal that they permit non-striking
employees to pass unmolested

Chief Fisher waited no longer, but
waved his men on.
A barrage Of tear gas from guns
with which a small army OF 200
police, deputies and special omcers
were armed followed his order.
Almost simultaneously with the
frontal attack, q group of rs special
police emerged from their hiding
place and opened fire with tear gas
guns in q surprise attack on the rear.
Squeezed between the two fires. the
choking pickets held their line scarce
ly two minutes before seeking the
only avenue Of escape left open.
They fed, hurting back rocks and
Impressions at the police who pur-
sued them.
The strikers were not without STRAIT

special police approached the aban-
doned picket line a group of 40 union
sympathizers who had mingled with
the crowd Of spectators tossed gas
bombs back at them.
Spectators Routed.
The unions flank attack DELAYED
the advancing police only until they
could reply in kind. Not only the
comhatants, but score OF spectators
were routed by the fumes.
The police halted briefly again to
remove ropes, benches, an overturned
soow and automobiles the pickets, who
numbered $50 when the trouble
started, had used as barricade. I'm

down private highway to the steel
plant, mile away.
The special police resumed the MR.
suit across uneven marshland that
surrounds the plant-on the shores
OF Lake Erie at the mouth the River
misunderstanding the pickets they
overlook in hand-to-hand combat.
A few Of the fleeing unionists were
trapped IN soggy swampland. These
were seized and marched back past
the picket post-some Of them bleed
Ing from cuts on their faces-as the
chase OF others went on under low
hanging clouds OF gas.
Special police set fire to 4 canvas
and wood lean-to the pickets had
used as shelter and commissary
during the II days they guarded the
highway to the plant.
seven automobiles left behind by the
unionists in their flight were dumped
into the river, which flows past the
plant, and five others were overturned.
Uniformed officers prevented the spe-
cial police from dumping an eighth
car into the river.
The uniformed police took Mayberry,
organizer, whose plea was ignored bv

the G. l. o. unions Monroe local, and
Mrs. Sloan into protective CUSTODY.
Mrs. Sloan said she was struck on the

Facts About Henderson

OF Henderson.
A Court, to function properly, must
have someone to prosecute the cases
and to see that the laws are enforced.
At my suggestion, the City Attorney
now prosecutes the cases and the cost
of the same is paid by defendants.
The City Attorney is paid salary for
all his services and the fees taxed in
the bill of cost placed in the salary
fund which practically pays MS en-
tire salary for all his services to the
City. There may be some things
which I have failed to measure up to
in my duties but there is one thing
I can honestly say is that have tried
as near as possible to conduct the
Court on high plane and render my
decisions on the evidence without fear
or favor to anyone irrespective of
race, position or standing in the COM
munity.
