75,000 STEEL WORKERS
GO OUT ON STRIKE
WASHINGTON, May 25—Climax
ng a year-old drive by John L. Lewi*
chairman of the Committee for Indus
trial Organization, to unionize all of
the five-bill ion-dollar steel industry,
strikes became effective today against
the three leading producers of the
metal and more than 75,000 workers
w.re thrown out of employment m
various parts of the country.
The highly geared strike machin
ery was set in motion by the United
Steel Workers of America which is
financed and directed by the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization, and
ffected at once the Republic Steel
Corporation, the Inland Steel Corpor
ation and the Voungstown Sheet and
Tube Corporation.
S'attered distuibances have been
reported. Scares of strikers were ar>
rested rn South Uhicago on charges
of unlawful assembly. Five hundred
policemen have been mobilized and
are held in readiness for possible
trouble in South Chicago.
As the United Steel Workers of
America came to grips with the three
independent producers, steel opera
tions in five .stales were crippled, and
now great furnaces, Which in the last
week operated at the highest volume
of production since 15211, .are banket.
The strike committee claims that
the strike order has been uniformly
heeded 100 per cent.
The chief point of dispute relates
to the demand of the United Steel
Workers to be recognized as the sole
collective bargaining agency for the
employees of the companies against
the strikes are directed.
The strikes do not involve the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation or the
Lau'-hiin-Jones St, eel Corporation
wh’fh recently signed agreements
with the United Steel 'Workers of
America.

GOODMAN MAKES FIRST
WHEEL LANDING HERE
Don Goodman landed with -.wheels,
on the Takotna fiield Monday night,
the first plane to make a wheel Jand
ing this season.
He landed empty, testing the field.
The ground was quite soft and he had
a hard time taking off the next moot
ing. It will be possibly a week yc-t
before planes can land safedy on the
field. The frost is just going out add
at that time the mud is the stickiest.
With the snow gone and the frost
rapidly disappearing, and the natural
drainage of the field, it will be only
a matter of 'a few days to a weak
until the Takotna field will . be ir
shape for safe landings.
