Mass Picketing Fails
To Bring Violence
At Univis Factory
Ey th« Associated Pre»i
DAYTON, Ohio, July 29
Pickets marched and shouted
“scab" today, but no heads were
cracked at the stpike-bound
Univis Lens Co. plant.
With 164 policemen in tight lines
on duty, the expected violence did
not materialize as the eyeglass com
pany reopened its plant for the
fourth consecutive day.
A mass picket line representative
of all CIO locals in Montgomery
County was at the plant. Police
Chief Rudolph Wurstner reported
there were 189 men and women on
the moving picket line and about
3,300 spectators at the North Side
factory.
Jeers Follow Workers.
Police said 431 of the plant's 700
production workers had entered—
unmolested but with jeers of "scab’’
and “skunk” following them to their
benches.
Husky Lou Kaplan, international
organizer of the striking CIO United
Electrical Workers. Local. 768, di
rected three picket lines despite a
court order barring him from the
vicinity of the plant.
Mr. Kaplan said he had hot been
served with the order. He wore a
patch on his head and a fractured
finger suffered in yesterday’s melee
w'as in splints.
Haranguing the crowd from a
union sound truck, across the street
from the factory Mr. Kaplan
shouted:
• You are witnessing the results
of one of the most vicious laws,
the Taft-Hartley law. This is
what happens when working people
don't get out and vote. Look at
the police lines and vemember it
next election day. Elect a city
commission representing workers
and not management!
“One officer gave an order yes
terday to kill me.”
Arthur L. Garfield of Detroit,
secretary of the General Motors
conference of all United Electrical
Workers locals, also spoke from the
sound truck.
‘ This is not just a situation in
volving Dayton,” he said. “It in
volves Wall Street. A vice president
of Lehman Bros. Is on the Univis
board of directors.”
The mass picketing followed an
announcement by the Montgomery
County CIO Industrial Union Coun
cil it would throw its full weight
behind the Univis strike.
Mass Demonstration Urged.
The council called on all CIO
unions to use their second and third
shift workers for a mass picketing
demonstration. In other actions, the
council threatened a county-wide
holiday in protest against “police
brutality” and called a mass meeting
at the Univis plant for 6:30 a m.1
tomorrow to "bring the issues to the
people and explain them.”
William Snoots, secretary-treas
urer of the council, said it had
adopted tbe following resolution.
"If the police brutality does not
cease, this council will declare a
labor holiday of all CIO units in
Montgomery County to protest
against tfieir (police> brutality and
to demand protection for their!
homes and communities away from
the Univis plant.”
Yesterday the plant was the scene j
of disorders in which five pickets'
of the striking United Electrical;
Workers Union (CIO), Local 768,
were injured in clashes with police.
The disorders, climaxing a three-day ;
back-to-work movement at the
plant were described as the most
violent thus far.
Today Set as Deadline.
The strike developed from a wage
dispute when the present contract
with the UEW expired in May. An
independent union had been or
ganized in the plant and a petition
asking the NLRB to hold a “derati
fication election” was being circu
lated.
The company then refused to bar
gain further with the UEW, await
ing the outcome of the petitions.
This was filed with the NLRB late
last month and the election was
held last Friday.
The only question on the ballot
was whether the workers wished the
UEW to continue as their bargain
ing agent. They voted 302 to 272
against the UEW and the company
president, M. H. Stanley, issued a
back-to-work call for Monday.
He set today as a deadline for
workers -to return to their jobs or
be discharged.
When the plant opened Monday,
the UEW workers were on the picket
line, and strong details of Dayton
police were on duty to protect those
wishing to return to work.
Last night at the CIO Council
meeting, there were representatives
of* 32 Montgomery County CIO lo
cals, representing 30,000 Dayton
workers.
Among the pickets injured in yes
terday's disturbances was Lou Kap
lan, international organizer of the
CIO UEW. His head was covered
with blood as he was led to a wait
ing patrol W'agon. After treatment
he was charged with assault and
battery on a patrolman and with
resisting a police sergeant.
A total of 19 pickets have been
arrested since Monday. Assault
and battery charges were filed
against several pickets yesterday.
Police Are Asked to Search
For Missing D. C. Girl, 15
Police today were asked to search
for 15-year-old Annette Canter of
4009 Seventh street N.E.. who has
been missing from her home since
