Afterwards many people got

Times have changed. There
were no citizens committees, no
back-to-Work movements during
the 1949 strike. There were no
threats of industries moving "a
way. Yet when the industry
donated stoves and radios to the
picket huts in some places, the
old timers looked at these gifts
with a wary eye. Times have
changed, but the strikers recent
ly back to work, cannot forget
that industry might have avoid
ed this strike altogether.

Everyone knows about t
Chicago, where eight persons
were shot and killed. Few
realize that as many were
slaughtered in the Youngstown
! Massillon-Canton area-four in
Massillon, two in Youngstown,
one in Canton, one in Beaver
Falls.
We were in the spacious and
elegant former private home on
fLincoln Way, now occupied by
Local No. 1924 of the union.
And the eyewitnesses of the
Massillon massacre retold the
story of the night of July IL,
1887.
There had been a back-to-
work movement, instigated by
the company. The LaFollete
Committee records say: BE
tween May 21 and July l, when
Gov. Davey ordered the Ohio
National Guard to Massillon
the plant office was engaged in
a campaign to corrupt tie police
to break the strike :. The Law
and Order League, pu b lie y
maintaining its purpose was to
establish law and order, pri-
ately set to work with all its
power to break the strike and
reopen the plants -. 1t assisted
and subsidized the back-to-work
movement, whipped up public
opinion against the union by
spreading rumors of violence. "
Chief of Police SWitter testified
that plant officials demanded
"Why in hell he didn't take ac-
tion like the Chicago police
meaning the Memorial Day
murders. Finally under company
pressure, extra deputies were
armed.
II think can give you pret-
ty clear picutre of what hap
pened," said Roy Thomas, who
had been the Local president in
1897. "We had no trouble at any
time in Massillon until after the
National Guards moved in. Then
they deputized lot of company
stooges to shoot us. On July IL
we had a rally out at Oak Knoll
Park with three speakers. We
had folk dancing and dancing
in the street and singing. 1t was
a nice community affair with a
band of union members. 1t came
on the rain so we retreated to
strike headquarters and con-
tinued our dancing and singing

Two or three hundred people
weer hanging around the union
hall not epecting anything. Then
there was a burst of gunfire.
They fired a machine gun and
gas shells right into the crowd.

the table,
'They claim someone threw
stones or fired a rifle but not
one of the police was hurt, not
a single one. The womenfolk
were in the kitchen getting
ready to feed the pickets COM

up fire it was just like
firing on so many animals in
a trap. They went and fired
right in the door of the Union
Hall. Folancio Golzavo was
killed right on the sidewalk.
When the strikers begged to
pick him up the answer was
more ganfire. Another was
killed outright that night and
two more died within five days.

HAM N EGG FEED
 ON 18TH BIRTHDAY
 FOR MASON BEACH

A most unusual birthday present, and one that any 15-year- -old boy would he certain to enjoy, was part of yesterdays anniversary celebra- tion for Mason Beach, son of MT. and Mrs. Raymond Beach.
 He was told to go ahead and eat all the ham and eggs he could hold!
 But" said his father, "when the lad was confronted with the actu- ality, he could manage to eat only half a dozen"
 The feed had to be in the form of a raincheck for Mascn's twin brother, Raymond, who is attending the Washington School for the Deaf.
 Mason and Raymond have the distinction of being the first white wins born on Guam.

least 50 percent of Alaska resi- dents must be employed by the sal mon industry this year, and 70 per cent each year after 1850. The orig inal bill proposed running to 100 percent.
 The House refused to concur in a Senate amendment to bill against bus straphangars on long trips. The Senate voted to allow one-tourth as many standees as there are seated on trips over Is miles. The House asked the Senate to recede.
 SCHOOL TAX DISPOSED
 The share the University of Alas ka should get from the school tax under the house-approved bill to double it to $10 stirred up a long debate when the bill came up for reconsideration and re-passage.
 As it was approved the previous day. it provided A per cent to Uni versailles of Alaska" con the chance there might some day be an South east branch) for salaries and 56 per cent to common school salar- ies and the te a hers retirement fund
 Fairbanks representatives led the fight to prevent cutting the Uni- versity portion. Tn their last stand for an amendment to make it 35 and 65 per cent, the motion lost on a. 12-12 deadlock vote. All Fourth di- vision representatives except George Miscovich, Republican, were for it.
 Mrs. Essie Dale pleaded that con- ditions are even worse for the University than for the public schools of the Territory. Mrs. Doris Barnes, with support from some others, countered with the conten- ton that most of the funds should be earmarked for the benefit of thousands of children instead of a few hundred University students.
 Frank Angerman, Fairbanks, de- clared that when University in- structors don't get as much as guy with pick and shovel, there's something wrong
 Franklin said the additional from the school tax would be a protective fund for the University so it would not again be forced to face the. threat of closure for inability to meet it's payroll.

Another shop in the rapidly growing system of Spudnut Shops formally opens tomorrow in Juneau, according to Dick Mcdonnell and L. T. Oldroyd, co-owners and op- orators.
 This is the first Juneau Spudnut Shop, and the third Alaska shop, in the coast-to-coast system, now in 31 states with more than 250 chops throughout the United States. Each shop is individually owned and operated under an exclusive franchise arrangement with Pel- tons Spudnuts, Inc. of Salt Lake City.
 An outstanding feature of our opening day" said Mcdonnell, will be free Spudnuts and coffee from 2 to 4 pm. We want everyone here to try Spudnuts, because they're truly Americas finest food con- tection.'
 Except for physical appearance" ," he continued, "Spudnuts have no

They are made of a special blend of finest wheat flour, dehydrated potatoes from which the name Spudnut is taken-milk solids, whole, fresh eggs, and other vital ingredients all mixed and blended perfectly to the secret Pelton formula"
 The Spudnut formula was de- geloped in Salt Lake City by Al and Bos Pelton. From one smal shop in 1946, the system now ex- tends throughout the United States, Canada and Alaska, with more units opening every week. The new Ju- neau Spudnut Shop is located in the Geo. Bros. building.
