* SHEBOYGAN. Wis„ July < UP).

labor peace and end of mob
action which brought injuries to
one man and the destruction of

The Mayor arranced the meet
ing last night after a crowd esti
mated at times as large as 1,000
persons took over the waterfront
area when the firm attempted to
unload a cargo of clay from a
freighter. The company has
been the scene of a strike for
more than a year.
Mob BeaU Up a “Scab”
The Mayor Appeared before
the crowd last night to an
nounce the meeting and urge
members to go home. He also
announced that Sheboygan
County Sheriff Ted Mosch had
taken over direction of law en
forcement in the community.
Sheriff Mosch 'said he would
move officers into the city and
that they would remain as long
as needed.
After the Mayor’s plea, the
rowd dispersed.
The dock area, along the She
oygan River and four blocks
rom the downtown section, was
roped off by police. Earlier in
the day a man had been beaten
in a mob action. The crowd
surged about him shouting,
"Here’s a scab.”
The victim, Roman Gruin
wald of Plymouth, sought to flee
the mob as fists flew. When he
finally escaped blood flowed
from cuU and injuries to his
