BLOOMINGTON, ImL, July 10, (UP)—Prompted by fear of severe violence unless labor difficulties in the Oolitic limestone district are settled immediately, fran.ic appeals for j intervention by the national labor board were made today by sheriffs of Lawrence and Monroe counties. Tho violence will result if union j members carry out schoduled plans to ! begin picketing mills ami quarries in the district Thursday night, law enforcement officers said. Sheriff lister Bender of Monroe county and Sheriff Frank Swango of Lawrence county sent telegrams to H. L. Ko lwin of the labor board asking his immediate intervention. Union officials are agreed tha‘ violence scarcely can ho averted under present conditions, the sheriffs said. Resumption of picketing, with 2,500 men participating, was voted at a union meeting at Bedford last night. One man, whose name was not learned, wa beaten severely in a disturbance at the Hoosier mill of tho Indiana Limestone company prior to
the meeting.
Authorities were told tho injured man was one of the 200 pickets who surrounded the company property between 2 p. m. and 7 p. m. Union officials ended the picketing temporarily by calling the Bedford meeting and explaining plans for making me final effort to obtain federal in'ervention. Approximately 00 pickets appeared at the Hoosier mill again this morning hut were called away by union
officials.
Another uni-m meeting at Bedford was set for Thurslay to determine if satisfactory federal intervene n i: forthcoming. If not, picketing will j
bo resumed.
The trouble is based on efforts of four limestone workers’ unions to j gain recegnition by the Indiana
Limestone company.
