STRIKE VIOLENCE
OUTBREAK IN UNITED STATES PICKETS & FREE WORKERS CLASH. TWO NEGROES WOUNDED. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 18. Violence broke out again today in the Pennsylvania and West Virginia “captive” coalfields (those supplying the Steel Corporation) when United Mine Workers’ pickets attempted to persuade recalcitrant members not to work. At Gary, two negro miners, members of an independent union, were shot and wounded while attempting to pierce the picket line. Sympathy strikes have spread to some open market coal mines and picket lines at the “captive” mines were swelled by these sympathisers. About 5.3,000 “captive” coal miners and 14,500 open market miners remained idle.
