strike to protest a new law that

Police routed stragglers who
refused to disperse Monday night
following an illegal but peaceful eighthour
strike to protest the Communist
government's latest labor crackdown,
which banned Solidarity and nullified
reforms the union won for Polish
workers.
State television said police used

orders to disperse after dusk fell

(AP) . Lobbying groups don't

The law was a new statute which

"It was pushed by a coalition of all

The defiant unionists are demanding
the reinstatement of Solidarity
and the release of its leader, Lech
Walesa, who was interned along with
hundreds of other union activists after
martial law was imposed Dec. 13.
The workers were the first to ODenlv
defy the tight union controls adopted
Friday by Parliament.
They decided not to wait for a fourhour
general strike Nov. 10 urged by
the underground committee of four
top Solidarity leaders. That date is the
two-year anniversary of Solidarity's
official registration by a Warsaw
court as the first independent union in
the Soviet bloc.
Three large convoys of police trucks
were seen heading north in the
direction of Gdansk , on Monday.
Highways in the area were blocked
to northbound traffic and the
government severed all telex and
telephone communications with the
north coast, making it impossible to

For strike
Reporters and witnesses returning
to Warsaw said the Gdansk strikers
appealed for support from other
factories in the tri-city area of
Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot. The
Gdansk organizers also urged
walkouts in Silesia, center of the coal
industry in southern Poland.
In Warsaw, one official source said
there could be trouble in Poland's five
coastal provinces and two interior,
where Solidarity support was
strong. But no sympathy protests
were reported.
