Drastic action is planned by leaders of the striking steel workers, who today announced two Important Im-portant meetings for tomorrow and Mon- day. Plans will be outlined tomorrow at a meeting of the steel workers' council with representatives of the railroad brotherhoods and of the railway department depart-ment of the American Federation of Labor present. The leaders freely declared they planned to tie up Gary and other steel towns In' this district by sympathetic strikes. Charges that the stel companies .have ordered hundreds of strikers to vacate their homes, owned by the companies, were made by the union men, and in connection con-nection with that situation the meeting was called Monday! "We will take drastic action,' Oscar Anderson, chairman of the Gary Steel Workers' council, declared. "Hundreda of men are receiving notices to evacuate J their homes, and we will meet the steel companies with the same action they are employing. Mother Jones may be brought back, and It may be necessary to employ the same methods as were used In Colorado. Colo-rado. We may have to march on the city hall to present our claims;"
