GUN WARFARE IN OHIO
Strike Breakers And Pickets (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 10.0 p.m.) Kent (Ohio), June 18. A labour dispute extending over two months in a local tool factory over wages, turned into open gun warfare between pickets and strike-breakers today, seven from each side being seriously wounded and gassed. The strikers erected a barricade across the street from the factory and poured high-power rifle fire into the building, until 40 beleaguered strike breakers begged permission to leave the building. This was®finally granted, when the Sheriff succeeded in arranging a truce. The battle continued for hours, the pickets refusing to permit doctors to enter the factory to treat dying men. It is expected that the National Guard may be ordered out to handle the situation.
