WAUKEGAN, Ill, February 19-
sSit-down" strikers replied with bar
rage of acid, wrenches and bolts to
deputies trying to evict them from a
Fansteel Metallurgical Corp. plant
near here early today. They turned
back the officers after a two-hour
battle.
Casualties numbered six in the
early counting, none of them seriously
hurt. The plant involved is one Of
two held by "sit-downers" in adjacent

Dooling opened his assault, when
The strikers refused to heed the court
order read to them, by battering ram

doors.
Deputies Driven Back.
Strikers loosed stream of pulleys
and other throwable objects and acid
to drive the deputies back from the
door which had previously been nailed
down.
While a crowd looked on, the two
forces battled on until the officers ran
out of tear gas to end the first phase
Of the conflict.
The sheriff then withdrew his forces
and conferred with company officials.
His chief deputy said the officials ad-
vised them, in effect, to go the
limit" in ousting the sitdowners. A
member of the strikers committee,
not inside the plant. was called to a
conference in the administration
building.
OF the six slightly injured, a deputy
and a policeman were burned by acid
and another deputy was burned by
tear gas. The other three were strik-

said, "and make us fellows toe the
mark and plant forage crops to stop
the dust"
II had 900 acres of wheat planted,
and it looked pretty good, but it's all
blown away now"
In Oklahoma City Gov. E. w. Mar
land called a conference Of residents
of dust-ridden areas, seeking solution
to the problem of eroding soil.

conditions. The farmers need what
ever assistance can be given"
Mrs. Helen Fritz, assistant Texas
County superintendent Of schools, said
all rural schools were remaining closed
until the dust subsidies. Eight rural
schools were closed permanently be-
cause Of drop in enrolment.
Many Of those withdrawing were
