FACTORY SEIZED
POLICE USE TEAR GAS. After a four days' seige, the police cleared the big cotton mill, Krusche Ender, in Pahjanice, near Lodz, Poland, of 3400 workers who had occupied the building and refused to lc-ave until a wage-cut order had been withdrawn. When the siege began, no one was admitted to the factory ground except workmen's wives and relatives, supplying food. When the pleas of trade union representatives and the labour inspector failed, the police attacked with ear-gas bombs, routing the occupants. The factory was closed indefinifcely, , and nearly 100 men were arrested. A j similar incident was reported at a I steel foundry at Halczynski, in the | Debrowa coal district, where the workI ers would not leave their posts when told the mill would close owing to the depression.
