...midnight shift was preparing to enter the Republic Steel plant in Massillon, Ohio one night last week, two cars driven by C. I. O. sympathizers collided, blocking the entrance to the long viaduct leading to the mill. Ohio's Governor Davey, having withdrawn his troops from Massillon, the gate was patrolled by some 30 deputized special guards. Knocking in the windows of the cars the guards dragged out the drivers, while a crowd of pickets surged up to defend them. In the ensuing two-hour battle the nearby union headquarters was nearly wrecked, a baker's dozen...

When demands that the troops be withdrawn were ignored, C. I. O. lawyers marched into Federal Courts seeking...

In Illinois, Governor Horner had not prevented a pitched battle at the Fansteel Metallurgical Corp. last February, a more deadly battle at Republic Steel's mill in South Chicago on Memorial Day. In Ohio, Governor Davey unsuccessfully tried mediation, but for three weeks the steel towns of the Mahoning Valley were armed camps, with steel mills under siege and casual fracases occurring at frequent intervals. In short, when serious labor trouble was batted out to them, each in turn had muffed the chance to achieve a settlement...
