Nearly Score Os Persons Injured As Violence Flares Second Time In Chicago Area. 1 TWO MORE CLOSE Chicago, May 29-— (U.R) —The steel strike settled today into a grim siege in which the Republic Steel corporation used airplanes to drop food to men in one of its strike-bound plants while polica fought with 1.000 pickets to keep - them away from another. Violence flared a second time In the South Chicago steel district, and 10 strikers and policemen were taken to hospitals with ' cuts, bruises and broken bones. At least eight more men and a woman—all strikers — were hurt. Three men were in jail facing i charges of conspiracy to commit , a felony. At the Niles. O„ plant, which like the South Chicago factory is operating in defiance of the strike called by the steel workers organizing committee, Republic officials used airplanes to supply food for strike-bound workers, after pickets had turned back U. S. mail trucks which had sought . to deliver supplies. Tearing up tracks, pickets also , blocked railroad deliveries to plants at Warren and Youngstown. Ohio. Another Republic subsidiary plant- that of Newton Steel company, in Monroe, Mich. — watt dosed after pickets prevented 450 members of the midnight shift , from entering. This followed closing yesterday of Republic mills at Beaver Falls, Pa., and Cumberland. Mr., in which 900 were employed. Federal and state governments explored possibilities of mediation. . Both found it would be futile to ’ attempt any conciliation conferI ences until at least after the long weekend. The battle In Souih Chicago r last night ended in a few minutes the second attempt of strikers to demonstrate before tlie plant. In a previous brawl 17 strikers were arrested on charges of violating 1 a mass picketing rule. Last night's demonstrators ' marched out of Sam's Place, their meeting hall a half mile from the plant, with flags and banners. ' Three blocks from the factory ’ they encountered seven officers ■ regularly stationed across the highway. ’ Fifty officers stationed regular- . ly on the company grounds ran up , to aid the outnumbered officers. . Fighting started immediately. 1 Stones and bricks fell into the t officers' ranks, and tlie officers re- > taliated with their clubs. Two f shots were fired. , They fought toe-to-toe for Bev- [ eral minutes, while an alarm i brought 50 reinforcements from i HTe east side district police station. in squad cars and patrol t wagons. Strikers fell back then, and retreated to their meeting hall, where they dispersed. Four strikers required hospital treatment: Dominic Esposito. 52; Mitu Maricic, 52; Mike Taglier, • 20; Benjamin Mitches, 52. Mitches was confined with a possible brok- ’ en back. Police said Mitches, ’ Maricic and Joseph Bauer, 26. ’ would be charged with conspiracy - to commit a felony. Joseph Germano, field organizer 1 for the S W. O. C., said nine ■ other strikers were hurt: Mrs. • Lucille Cook. 27; John Heardens. i Nat Fotsch, Walter Mann. John i Kemp, Michael Cooker.
