NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Four OF New

signed a contract with the Transport
Workers Union today. while drivers Of
the Sunshine Radio System, Inc, re-

The union had called strikes Of the
23 companies associated with the sun

agreements made last fall. Members
had authorized city-wide strike, but
the union had concentrated on the
Sunshine System, which did not sign
the agreement, completed early today.
The contract guaranteed minimum

only during their work, but even when
they are outside the plant, and Of
crushing at its inception, by force If
necessary, any sign of union activity.
Thus within the respondents vast
River Rouge plant at Dearborn the
freedom of self-organization guaran-
teed by the act has been replaced by
a rule of terror and repression"
The decision also cited the public
interviews and statements" of the
respondent as an indication Of his
antagonism toward employe organiza-
ton and as an instrument of coercion
directed against them.
The decision carried graphic de-
scription. mostly through testimony
of the Rev. Raymond P. Sanford, a
Chicago minister, of the incident of
May 26, when Ford service de-
partment employees severely beat
several union men and women
gathered to distribute union literature
near the River Rouge plant and
smashed the cameras and drove away
several newspaper photographers. One
Of the beaten men, William Merri-
weather, suffered broken back.
In summarizing the May rs riot the
boards decision states:
The careful preparations made for
weeks in advance by the respondent to
prevent any attempt of the U. A. w to
distribute literature at the plant; the
great increase in size of its service de-
partment; the presence at the scene of
professional fighters and of individuals
with known criminal records employed
by the respondent; the experienced
professional manner in which the at
tacks were carried out and the brutal
ity with which they were marked; the
playing of the most prominent parts
in the riot by members of the service
department and not by production
workers; the payment by the re-
spondent of the men who conducted
the attacks; and the direct participa-
ton by Everett Moore, head of the
service department-al lead inescap-
ably to the conclusion that the as
saultS upon union men and women
that occurred on May 26 were part of
carefully designed plan on the part
of the respondent to prevent the dis
tribution Of union literature by the U.
A. w. in the vicinity of the River
Rouge plant"
Taking cognizance of the respond
ent's claim that union men were tres
passing when the beating took place,
the board declares:
This defense is clearly untenable
in the light of the events which have
been described above. Technical tres
pass has never been recognized in law
as Justification for extreme brutality"
The 46-page decision, perhaps the
most important in the history Of the
board, bore the unanimous approval of
the three-men tribunal.
