CLEVELAND, June 26. CUP
Moving through mill gates at the
rate Of so an hour, non-strikers
marched back on the payrolls last
night-shouting to one another
that the Committee for Industrial
Organization had lost its strike
against Little Steel"
The union fought back, sending
flying squadrons through the steel
area, exhorting pickets to stand
firm and urging strikers to stick
it out"
But at dusk last night the sky
of the Mahoning valley was black
with mill smoke for the first time
in a month, and inside the great
mills the furnaces glowed red and
white with heat.
Both sides received the protec.
ton of the state government.
Non-strikers went back to work
down brown lanes of national
guardsmen, who were under Or
ders to assure all persons the
right to work. Strikers were told
that they would be allowed to
continue picketing and engaged
in all other lawful activities.
Although bombs were exploded
in Canton and Warren yesterday,
no lives were lost and, generally,
the back-to-work movement pro-
ceeded without disorder.
Modified martial law was lift
ed at Johnstown, Pa, permitting
the Cambria plant of Bethlehem
Steel company, to prepare for
re-opening. Union men flocked to
the picket lines in an attempt to
persuade non-strikers not to re-
turn. Down through the streets
of Johnstown and up to the big
mill gates swung 5000 miners
from the soft coal fields, singing
"My Sweetheart's A Mule in the
Nine" They were marching to
the assistance Of their fellow
unionists - the steel workers in
the Cambria plant and they said
they would stay on the picket
lines as long as needed.
In Youngstown national guard
officers conferred with local law
enforcement officials and steel
mill managers to work out o def
mite program for reopenings.
Their plan called for q strict
Glands off" policy on the part
of the 400 national guardsmen
in the Mahoning valley so that
the union and the steel concerns
could fight the strike out on its
merits. .
"All restrictions on all move.
ments at any point are off," was
the notice that Major General
Gibson D. Lifht, commanding the
Ohio national guard, served on
both sides.
Picket lines dwindled away ut
Youngstown as soon as that no.
tice was posted.
The situation throughout the
strike area tonight was as fol-
lows:
Youngstown. = Republic Steel
reopened its mill and youngstown
Sheet and Tube began stepping
up production at the Campbell
and Briar Hill mills.
