That's an old trick practiced b,
strikebreaking agencies in industria
strife from the beginning Of time. L

happenings, which terrify people ane
convince them of the necessity OF hav.
ing police protection, result in no con.
vlction OF strikers"
Owens sent word along the scat.
tered picket lines ordering striker.
to hold their ground and refuse tt
return. Non-striking employees strag.
gled through several gates of the

week Of sending strikers into the
plants with non-strikers and then
starting sit-down strike doesn't
hold now"
I'VE are advising our people not to
go into the mills" he said.
He observed further:
The opening OF these mills with
out making an agreement with the
employees. through their representa-
tives demonstrates that the attitude OF
some groups in the industry will have
to be changed by some power within
the Government"
