Scores detained in May Day protests in Poland
WARSAW, Poland — Police
clashed with demonstrators around
the country Sunday and bloody rock
throwing matches broke out as thou
sands of people in at least 15 cities
heeded Solidarity’s call for a national
“day of protest” on May Day.
Government and opposition re
ports said more than 1(X) people were
detained in protests thijt climaxed a
week of strikes, the worst labor unrest
in Poland since the 1981 crackdown.
I- -
There were scattered reports of in ju
ries.
Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski took a
tough line on wage demands during
May Day ceremonies in Warsaw.
A tense strike was in its sixth day at
the Lenin steel mill in Nowa Hula
outside Krakow. About 800 strikers
gathered for a Mass around a make
shift altar with a homemade cross in
the pressing department where the job
action began.
Thirty to 50 people outside the
gates were detained when they tried to
stage a sympathy march to the plant,
which was ringed with platoons of
hcl meted riot police.
Earlier, about 3,000 people
marched a half-mile from a church in
Nowa Hula toward the plant. Police
ordered them to disperse.
Organizers say about 16,000
workers arc on strike at the plant,
demanding recognition of their union
rights and an immediate 50 percent
raise on the average salary ol S105 a
month.
Solidarity chairman Lech Walesa,
speaking outside St. Brygida’s Ro
man Catholic Church in Gdansk, told
about 6,000 supporters that the time
had come for them to take a stand in
support of the striking steel workers.
“1 demand from you solidarity
with Nowa Huta tomorrow, in your
shipyards, in your ports and in your
factories. 1 want it to be effective.
Show me tomorrow what you can
do, nc acciarco.
Following the Mass and rally in
Gdansk, about 500 young militants
tried to march through the city. They
were attacked from two directions by
police swinging clubs, and the city
shook with the sound of a police per
cussion grenade.
Solidarity, the only independent
labor union movement in the Soviet
bloc, was created in Gdansk in 1980
during nationwide strikes. It was
suppressed, then outlawed, after
martial law was declared in Decem
ber 1981.
Gangs suppressed in Omaha
OMAHA — The head of the
Omaha Police Department’s narcot
ics unit said his force is succeeding in
keeping two Los Angeles-based drug
gangs from staking a turf in the city.
“Our enforcement efforts have
been based on trying to take them out
permanently by sending them to
prison,” Lt. Tim Dunning said.
Dunning said police have arrested
at least two dozen people identified as
gang members or their associates
since last year.
Officers first learned of the pres
ence of the two West Coast gangs —
the Crips and the Bloods—in Febru
ary 1987. Asof April 1, detectives hail
identified 15 Bloods members and 18
Crips members who have been in
Omaha sometime during the past 14
months, Dunning said.
Police Chief Robert Wadman said
he thinks the gang situation in Omaha
is under control thanks to help from a
number of organizations, including
the Omaha Housing Authority,
Omaha School District and Black
Ministerial Alliance.
Dunning said the gangs apparently
were lured to Omaha because of the
potential for big drug profits in an
open cocaine market as yet uncon
trolled by an organized group.
