STRIKE TIES UP 5 GLASSPLANTS Federation Extends Picket Lines in Drive for Closed Shop Production at five glass plants and one paint factory of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. was paralyzed today as the Federation of Flat Glass Workers of America stretched picket lines, determined to maintain its strike until the company accedes to its demand for a "closed shop." Only one glass factory that at Crystal City, Mo. remained in operation, while those at Creighton and Ford City, Mt. Vernon, 0 Clarksburg, W.

Va, and Henrietta, Okla, answered the strike tall at midnight Saturday. Organized workers in the company's paint factory at Milwaukee were called out in sympathy by the Paint and Varnish Makers Union. Builders Walk Out Glen W. McCabe, of Columbus, president of the glass union, also was notified here that the Mil waukee warehouse staff had responded to the call and that building trades on a building under construction there for Pittsburgh Plate had walked out. Mr.

McCabe, who broke off negotiations late last week in face of repeated refusals to adopt a "closed shop" policy or an alternative plan showing employment preference to Federation members, estimated this brought the total number of strikers to "close to 8000." Although Pittsburgh executives of Pittsburgh Plate declined to comment on the walkout, plant officials declared no attempt would be made to operate while the strike is in force. Skeleton crews were kept on duty for maintenance. Largest Working: Unit The Ford City and Creighton plants form perhaps the largest operating unit in the glass industry. A considerable portion of the company's entire output of plate originates at Ford City, where 1800 are employed, while the Creighton plant, near Tarentum, turns out "safety glass" and pays wages to 2200. The Henrietta plant has been closed down for "cold repairs" since July.

1. Only two men were on duty cleaning the tanks when the strike was called and they walked out. Two score others engaged in the maintenance work were not expected to report for work today. Half a dozen pickets pounded the sidewalk outside the plant, however. The plant employs about 400 at peak operations.

MISSES', WOMEN'S LARGE WOMEN'S Drttt thop, fourth floor SENATE PROBE OF TERRORISM CHARGE LIKELY Steel Union Men Slugged; Ernest J.

Weir Blamed By Workers Special to The Pittsburgh Press WASHINGTON. Oct. 26-A Sen- terrrism charges brought personally against Ernest head of the National Steel Corporation, was foreshadowed to-cay. SC)- chairman of the Senates "civil liberties- subcommittee, announced receipt of the charges from Lee Pressman, general counsel of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee in Pittsburgh. mese matters had been brought to the attention of the subcommittee, and a preliminary field investigation was undertaken," said Senator LaFollette.

"The committee at this time desires to announce that the study of the situ-auon is being continued by its agents with a view to determining the extent, nature and particulars or the violations which have been charged." Letters Sent Govenors testimony is received in Washington it may come in December when the LaFollettee investigating body plans to continue open hearings on use of labor spies for prevention of union organizing campaigns. The offenses alleged by Mr. Pressman were viewed here as obviously subject only to state and local laws. If they are included in the Senate inquiry the object, it was thought, would be to provide a complete picture of the obstacles being raised against union organizers in general, and steel organizers in particular. Mr.

Pressman's charges were based on six specific instances of alleged beatings, detentions and expulsions of agents of the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee. The six cases are alleged to have occurred in Weirton. W. and Steubenville, Ohio, between June 30 and Oct. 16.

They were itemized in letters recently sent by Philip Murray of Pittsburgh, SWOC chairman, to Gov. H. G. Kump of West Virginia and Governor Martin Davey of Ohio. Civil Rijrhts Violated Mr.

Pressman wrote to Senator" La Follette that "a series of flagrant violations of fundamental civil rights" has accumulated at Weirton and Steubenville. "Open violations of civil liberties by the local and state officials in such towns has been completely disregarded by the lawfully constituted authorities of the states," he said. "Shocking assaults upon steel workers and the organizers of this committee have resulted in absolutely no redress through the local or state officials. Uncontro-verted evidence as to the identity of the assailants, when presented to the Grand Juries, has simply been disregarded." Mr. Pressman sent to Senator La Follette a copy of Mr.

Murray's letter to the West Virginia and Ohio Governors, Mr. Murray charged "armed thugs" have been hired by the Weirton Steel Co. "for the sole purpose of assaulting and beating steel workers who are attempting to organize into a union." Blame Put on Weir Mr. Murray's letter said: "I very deliberately, and with a clear recognition of the seriousness of my statement, hereby charge Mr. Ernest T.

Weir of being: personally responsible for these brutal attacks and the flagrant disregard and setting aside of the laws and law enforcement in these two steel towns where his mills are located." Mr. Murray listed these specific instances of alleged "terror." 1 Beating of Claude R. Kramer, union organizer, by "eight thugs" in Steubenville, June 30. 2 Beating of Paul Rusen, another organizer, in the same town July 31. 3 Beating of Richard Riser and Anthony Kowalsky, members of the organizing committee staff, Sept.

Far away from the almost forgotten rural sections of the Blue Grass State, Mrs.

Malcolm McLeod sits at the desk of her home in the East End and directs the ap-! peals for books to fill knapsacks of the traveling librarians. In response to her appeals, hundreds of books and magazines have already been dispatched to the southland. "And the work is Just starting," Mrs. McLeod said. The books go to headquarters at London, Ky.

Here they are sorted and mended and then begin their rounds to the book starved sections. The mounted librarians carry heavy canvas knapsacks, which hold about 100 books. Dressed in heavy clothing during the winter months, the workers travel on mule or horseback. "There are no roads in most of the sections." Mrs. McLeod said.

"Mountain trails or dry river beds are followed for miles into the backwoods. The librarians stop at the cabin homes, exchanging books with readers who have finished the reading material brought to them on the previous trip." Religious Books Preferred Even those wno can't read are eager to have books, Mrs. McLeod has learned through her correspondence with directors of the project. The illiterates like magazines with pictures, too, but they make good use of the printed matter by having members of their family or neighbors read to them. Perhaps the book greatest in demand among the Blue Grass people is the Bible.

Workers report there is a real need for Sunday school lessons, religious papers, hymnals and psalm books, because religious services are so often held right in the home. But popular, too, are cook books. Anything to do with canning or preserving is welcomed. Recipes in women's magazines were so much hungered for by the women in the communities that there was a temptation to cut out recipes from the magazines. To check this, directors of the move-about libraries at London, have compiled a series of the recipes to be circulated along with the books and magazines.

Medical Books in Demand Health articles are appreciated, too, as the trail of the lonesome pine is without many doctors. People like to study first aid methods and learn some of the practical health aids. Light fiction is popular, workers have found, and serves to bring a happy note into hum-drum existence. Arrival of the literary beasts of burden is a high-light occasion. Reports of the traveling librarians sketch some of the scenes.

From the oldest, pipe-smoking "granny" to the youngest runabout, coming of books has made a new world. Lying helpless on his cot In a logwood cabin is a 7-year-old boy with a broken back. "Learn me to read." he begged the librarian, "and then I won't be lonesome any more." "I want a geography and my mother wants a Christian book," one of the little girls along Goose Rock Route told a librarian recently. Appeals for Magazines Another child whose father looked a little skeptically on book learn ing begged, "Let the book lady leave us something to read on Sundays and at night when we get through hoeing the corn." The librarians bring some books directly to he mountain homes and leave others in school houses, which have volunteered to serve as district libraries. A Catholic school in Lee County has enlisted its help in serving as a center of distribution.

Because of the need, still great for religious literature, children's books, health periodicals and pictorial publications, Mrs. McLeod is continuing her appeals. She has done her work single-handed. Notices are sent to newspapers asking for the needed books. World-Wide Service Several vears ago, Mrs.

McLeod became interested in the book mission. She first sent the books collected to hospitals and institutions in the Pittsburgh district. Later, scope of her work was enlarged until she was furnishing literature to some of the farthest outposts in -clow rnnvpnient sizes. The large Following the wilderness trails back into the Kentucky hills, librarians of the Packhorse Libraries take reading matter to the remote settlements and isolated cabins. 1 The destination is often in such typical cabins as this, where "grandma" has removed her pipe to explain to "junior" the story and the pictures.

WAR CHIEF CAPTURED IN BLOODY CONFLICT Liberians Trap Native Ruler After Four-Year Battle Bp The United Press MONROVIA, Oct. 26 The Libe-rian government today announced capture of the powerful native chief known as "King Nimley," leader of the warring Kru Tribe, after a four-year jungle search in which an estimated 20,000 natives were killed.

Warfare between the tribe leader and the government started in 1932 when Nimley and other Kru chieftains established autonomous government in 100 square miles alone the lower Liberian Coast. The are sent directly to Miss Ethel Perryman at London, Ky. "And send them postpaid," Mrs. McLeod pleads. "There isn't any fund to keep the libraries going or to pay for book shipments." TRAIN KILLS 3 Man, Wife And Aged Woman Die At Rail Crossing By The United Press SPRINGFIELD, Oct.

25 Three members of a family were killed instantly late yesterday when their auto was struck by the first section of the American Flyer at a Pennsylvania Railroad crossing in South Charleston. The dead were: J. Wesley Grimm, 53, and Mrs. Grimm, 48, of New Holland, and Mrs. Ida Inlow, 74, Mrs.

Although she has received many of these offerings at her home at 926 Bellefonte East End, with the pack horse libraries it is more helpful if the books and magazines League of Nations sent a representative to.

Liberia in an attempt to effect a truce between the tribes and the government. After sporadic attempts to capture Nimley and his followers, the government sent an entire army to crush him. Neutral observers returning from the fighting areas said the war was the most brutal and savage ever fought in Africa. Bodies of hundreds of men, women and children were left unburied and wild animals devoured them.
