More provincial police reinforce- ments left Quebec City Sunday for Murdochvllle. A provincial police spokesman said a group of traffic police was travelling here but de- clined to say how many men in the group.
Thirty - five men hired for the company by a Montreal detective agency arrived here Friday. a day after a dynamite blast ripped a hole in s 4.500.000-gallon oil tank at Mont-Louis, the company's ship- ping point on the St. Lawrence river about 35 miles north of here. 8150.0N DAMAGE
Damage to the company-owned reservoir was estimated at 8150.- ooo. There were no Injuries.
There are 300 strikers left in Murdochville although 750 men are receiving strike pay from the union. Nearly 500 workers live out- side the mining town. Originally 1,000 men quit their jobs when the strike was called following the dis- missal of the steel-workers' local president March 8. More than 200 left to seek Jobs elsewhere.
Thursday police ordered strikers to remove two shelters and a trailer set up for-pickets at the mine entrance. almost a mile from the town.
Strikers said they were given 15 minutes to remove the shelters. Once the shelters were removed police told the ,' ' to disband. PATROL ALL ROADS
Police patrols were set up on all roads leading in and out of here. Every ehlcle was checked.

The union. claiming a majority of membership among workers, prepared to apply to the Quebec labor relations board for certifica- tion last June. The company ob- tained sn injunction restraining the board from acting on the un- ion application and the matter still is before the courts.
SECOND iN.iUN(.'l'lON
When the strike was called the company obtained a second injunc- tion to enable company office workers to circulate freely on the mine property.
The union claims the iniunction allowed strikers to set up sivelters at the mine entrance but the Que- bec attorney - generais' depart- ment says the shelters were spe- cifically banned by the court in- Junction.
The first provincial police con- tingent travelled to Murdochvilie with the specific Job of ordering the removal of the shelters.
