ABOUT 400 FORD
 EMPLOYES WORK
(Continued from Page l)
About 600 Went In

At 8:i5 a. m. Milton Y Johnson, plant manager, said that about 800" men had entered the plant and were ct work. He said that production probably would be iia- creased over that of Wednesday.
 "But we won't push 1t any," he said.
 Johnson said that about 150 men had been taken off the production line to stand by in case of trou- ble."
 He stated that final figures show. ed 27 cars were run off the assem. bly, line Wednesday aS completed against 60 of the day before.
 At this time of year the assembly plant employees about 600 persons when operating on Q normal basis. Capacity of the plant is 900 men.
 Union Denies 600 Story
 Qafst and other union heads said Johnson's figures of men working were false. They claimed that 400 regular Ford Workers here were registered at union headquarters as on strike.
 Garst also said he intended to file charges with the National Labor Relations boSrd here that the Ford Company was employing strike- breakers.
 The company late Wednesday ap- piled in circuit court for a1 injunc. ton to restrain 20 defendants from picketing the plant. It was alleged that the picketing was damaging business, and asked damages, the amount to be fixed by the court.
 Pickets arrived early today for the new test of strength.
 Cause Of Strike
 The strike was called, union off, cials said, because of discrimination against union members and the re. fusal of Ford plant officials to ne. gotiate with Q union grievance com. inittee. Ford officials denied that they had discriminated against any one.
 The plant normally employs 900 men, of which the union claims 800 as members. It now employees ap. proxisMately 600. The company claims that all but 70 or % reported for work the first day of the strike. The union claims that the men who reported were brought Into St. Louis from elsewhere and were strike- breakers. The Ford Company main. tains that the pickets have never been employed by 1t, and are out. siders.
