OHIO FACTORY BLOCKADE Aeroplane Brought Down By Strikers' Bullets

شیره از

Astounding State Of Affairs At Youngstown

-New York, To-day.

Truly astounding conditions reign at Youngs- town, Ohio, where the Republic Steel Corporation strikers are completely in control of a remarkable situation.

Starvation threatens those employees of the concern who have refused to join the strike and are now besieged in the factories.

Aeroplanes have been used to break through the otherwise completely effective blockade estab- lished by the strikers.

The aeroplanes are, however, being fired on by the strikers and one has already been brought down.
