(By The Asaoclatde Press)

Yollflkstnwn, 0.—Stee1 workers organizing committee of C. I. 0. calls strike to affect 80.000 workers in Republic. Youngstown Sheet and Tube and inland plants in drive for signed bargaining con- tracts.

Canton. 0.—First day passes quietly in strike of 8.000 Republic workers in Canton-Massillon area.

Chicago—-Cities in five states. Ohio, Indiana. Pennsylvania. New York and Illinois. prepare for strikes at plants operated by three independent companies included in S.W.O.C. order.

YOUNGSTOWN. 0.. May 26 — lAPu-The Steel Workers Organiz- ing Committee called a strike of 80.000 Swel workers tonighttoback up its demand for signed bar- gaining contracts with three inde- pendent. stool companies. _

Philip Murray, John L Lewis’ lieutenant in the steel industry, ordered the great walkout to take effect with the changing of shifts at midnight EDT in Ohio, Penn- sylvania, New York. Illinois and Indiana plants of the Republic Steel Corp, Youngstown Sheet and Tube Cu, and Inland Steel Corp.

The decision to call the nation's most far-reaching steel strike in nearly 20 years was reached at. a conference here of S.W.O.C. dclc- gates from the five states.

Murray said: "It is the purpose of our organization to conduct thc strike peaccfully and in a law- abiding tvay.

"We were advised by delegates. particularly those of Republic Stool Corp. that stores of munitions are located at each of the plants, in- eluding machine guns.

"We are having this brought to the attention of statc officials and the proper agencies of thri Federal Government. The day of gunmen is ended".

Murray disclosed that two lead- ers in the rubber and mine union affiliated with the Committee for Industrial Organization had at- tended todays meeting.

There were Sherman Dalrymple of Akron. 0.. president of the Un- ited Rubber Workers of America,

and John Owens, president of Ohio district. the United Mine Workers.

Murray declined to comment on

taketo assist the steel workers.

men for Republic Steel Corp. lar- gest of the companies aflected.said thcy were standing by previous stiiicmcnts in the uiiloii controv- ersy.

Republic. in letters to its em- ployees. insisted signing of a con-

tract would “be merely the first step toward a latcr demand for the closed shop and the check

off".

"These arc the rci-il issues in the present controversy". the lciter said. asserting wage and work

conditions in Republic mills were equal to or bctter than those in other plants“.

Republic's chairman ‘of the board, Tom Glrdlcr, has expressed him- self outspokenly on the question of unionism. He said Republic would "shut down its plants" and "kcep ihcm shut" if plckcting kept work- ers away.

Youngstown Short and Tubc. whose principal figure is President Frank Purnell. previously indicat- ed it would take similar action to Republic's.

Republic employs about 55.000 men and Shcct and Tube about 18.000 men. Part of tlui Republic employees are in the Birmingham Ala, area which was not included in today's S.W.O.C. action. Mur- ray said S.W.O.C. lcndcrs would meet: tomorrow at Birmingham to consider action in that district.

Approximately 8.000 workers in Republic plants at. Canton and Massillon, 0.. vrcnt. on strikc he- fore todayfls conference. These mcu had wnlkcd out Tuesday night in an action winch C.I.O. lcadcrs said they did not authorize but would "support". The first day of the strike passed quietly.
