While this group presented its
side of the labor controversy which
has wracked the historic mining
towns for weeks, more than 100
men, women and children, bivou-
aced on state property on the out
skirts of town, awaited action OF

the reign of mob violence and
terrorism" in Nevada county, where

UNION LEADER
BEATEN ON EVE.
OF PEACE PACT

CROCKETT, CAL, April
IL. (UP) - Armed sheriff's
deputies were posted thru
the streets of this strike-rid-
den industrial community
today after a second outbreak of
violence within week had brought
injury to a California leader of
the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization.
An attack upon Louis Goldblatt,
northern California director of the
CLIO, by 100 women occurred last
night just as negotiators neared a
settlement in the jurisdictional dis
pute between the CIO and its la
Dor union rival, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Goldblatt'S clothes were torn and
his face scratched as he walked
across a street toward union head
quarters to attend peace meeting.
His attackers were the wives and
daughters of men who have been
out of work for a month because
the California Hawaiian sugar re-
finery closed its doors until labor
troubles had been settled.
The CIO- AFOL peace meeting
was held despite the attack, but
the agreement was not signed.
The conferees announced a five
point tentative peace plan as a
basis for settling the four weeks
CIO strike and tie-up at the Cali
fornia Hawaiian sugar refining
corp, plant.

congress had an opportunity in
this bill to do something to restore
business confidence. He said that
he hoped the house would accept
the senate version without a sim
gle change.

the Lewis-Chambers job dur

continued Springs, brought the
statement that 'the union order
stood" Stein told him, he said, the
company had a verbal agreement
with the union not to employ men
who had worked on the Lewis
Chambers job during the strike.
Springer explained he needed to
work to support wife and two
children in Colorado Springs. He
