 TROOPS TAKE OVER NORTH
 AMERICAN AVIATION PLANT

LOS ANGELES, June g (A9 T United States troops moved into the North American Aviation Company plant this morning to take over the strike-bound plant on orders of President Roose- welt. A convoy of 50 trucks load ed with army troops moved down Redondo Boulevard to the front of the plant. The troops were greeted by cheers from lines of workers across the road from the plants main entrance, who were prevented from entering the plant by disorders. The soldiers moved into the plant quietly and the disorders ceased when the convoy came down the road. The occupation of the great aircraft manufacturing center took place with the simplicity of routine military maneuver, as the strike entered the fifth day. Some of the 12.000 workers entered the plant in response to a govern ment request for the resumption of plant operations.

 Both Sides Give Out Statements

, ed States Smelling Refining and Mining Company, that, having been unsuccessful in attempts to bargain with Local Union No. 444 of the International Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union, CIO the company will continue opera ton despite announced plans of the union strike.
 MT. Earling issued the follow ing statement, setting forth the company's attitude:
 "The principal and only issue involved is the unions demands for and the company's refusal of a Union Shop"
 We are not opposed to collect i've bargaining, and, in fact have contracts with the same Interna- tional Union of Mine, Mill and Shelters Unions at our other mines and smelters, in the States, some of which have been in op- eration for years. None of them contain a union shop provision, and we do not intend to agree to either of them here.
 ". We have notified the com mittee and the union that we are ready at any time to continue dis cussion of the other questions in the controversy but our offers have been disregarded and the matter is apparently out of our hands.
 we regret to see the long re- cord of industrial peace in this district marred by strike which is so unnecessary and hop6 the union comittee will reconsider it's position carefully before taking final action"
