Break Through Police Lines

FREE-FoR-ALL FIGHT
BEGUN
UBy Associs.ed Pre.sI

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. %. -
Three thousand pickets of the
General Electric Company's plant
here broke through police lines
this morning, despite a court in
junction against mass picketing
of the plant.
& Police numbered SIS, and with
in a few minutes they, were
swinging clubs, and the strikers
were in a freeLfor-all fright.
The strikers were warned not
to go within six blocks of the
plant, but they succeeded in APP
preaching to within three blocks
before the police, aided by rein
forcements, drove them back in
broken units.
The pickets reformed and
marched to city hall to protest to
the mayor about the treatment
to which they had been subject
ed by the police.
Ten of the pickets, who created
a disturbance yesterday, have
been arrested on a charge of at
tempting to create a riot.

Journey Out To Smith
Shoals. Cobia Resembles
Shark: Bottom Fishing
Boat Operates ''''''
BY GEORGE DAVIS

With the weather lessening
some charter boats went out yes
terday, with not bad catches re-.
ported.
On aptairfs 5ss W. McCulley's.
Switchtafi, Which Iourneyed out
to Smith Shoals light out through
Northwest Channe1g there was "a
fine catch of cfevalie' jack. This
party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
o, r. aHardeman off Spencer!2W.
Va, and the catch was about ever
between the two of them. They
brought in ten jack and four
cobia, besides some barracuda.
The catch of four cobia was
considered good. Out at Smith
Shoals there is a beacon quite a
ways out in the Gulf and by circ-
linz the beacon, and the spot of
reef near there, one can hook
these fish. Cobia are hard fight
ers and are an interesting looking
fish. To the uninitiated they looK
something like shark. They are
dark brown and have a wide flat
mouth. But their tails are not like
the ,upswept rudder-like tail Of
the shark.
Key Vests bottom fishing boat
came in withna a good /, catch.
Aboard Captain C. N. NGElouo's
Greyhound" were L. Robson of
Charleston, w. Va; Mr.. and Mr..
NJ ugaE~ef uHeboken; NssJD a~e~
ny GoodnasH Aand. Charles He1As.
of New Yofk City, and Mrs. Mary
BahogRkgaof Buffalo, My. The
catch consisted ;, Of yelloEtail
grouper and grifnts and totalled
"a fish.
Bottom fishing is done with
sinkers, which drop the line to a
rocky bottom where the fish feed.
The fish are pan-fish size but quite
often the larger grouper, mutton
fish and snapper are caught.
