Mrs. Archer was formerly Miss Hanna Stahley. — Q GENERAL STRIKE ——— (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) board for settlement of the 2.8-day | old strike stretching into seven states. The Republic Steel Corp., one of 1 four involved in the conflict over 1 whether management shall sign | union contracts, failed at the last minute to go through with a scheduled separate parley with ! the mediation board in Cleveland. , Meantime, it began movement of' freight under protection of militia i bayonets at its picket-crippled i 1 Warren and Niles plants. It was at these plants that Republic recently charged pickets i had interfered with delivery of United States mail and into which the company vainly attempted to have the postal department move ■ food by parcel post. ■! Freed authorized United States Commissioner W. S. Laub at Aki ron. to issue the six warrants, i i three for men at Warren and three for men at Youngstown. All charged interference with the mails. The penalty for such interference is SSOO fine and six months I imprisonment. During early days of the steel strike. Republic officials protested that pickets were halting mail trucks at the gates of their big plant at Warren. Strike leaders replied that “normal" mail deliveries would not be interfered with. Postal officials said they could not move “abnormal" parcel post packages, such as mailed food, through picket lines which made conditions "unsafe.” The company counsel made a test case by forcing the local post office formally to refuse delivery through the picket lines and the issue was taken up at an inquiry by the U. S. senate post office committee. Meanwhile, developments along | the strike front indicated that danger still existed in the militiaguarded Mahoning Valley: 1. Guardsmen with fixed bayI onets pushed back an angry crowd of strike demonstrators from the gates of the Republic mills at Warren when company officials i began evacuation of an estimated ! 2,000 to 3.000 non strikers who l have kept the plant going despite I picket lines. About 100 loaded railroad cars were moved in and out of the plant. 2. The federal mediation board resumed sessions at Cleveland with executives of the four struck companies. Chairman Charles P. Taft 11, said that “we will keep going as long as we Lave anything to work on.” 3. National guardsmen, chiefly artillery units, arrived in Canton to enforce military rule there under order of Gov. Martin L. Davey, who extended his original proclamation to include Stark county as well as Mahoning and Trumbull counties in the Mahoning Valley. About 4,400 militia were in the Mahoning Valley at a cost of around $20,000 a day to the state. 4. The national labor relations board began an inquiry at Youngstown into charges filed by the steel workers’ organizing committee charging the Republic' Steel Corp., with Interference with and coercion of its employes. The possibility of renewed tension was seen at Youngstown and Warren in connection with issuPhone 300 1315 W. Adams
