Ford Workers
Sue Clio for
Bedtings

Two Ford Motor Company en-
ployes. who charged they were
beaten during the strike at the
Ford Rouge plant. filed suits in
Federal Court today against the
Communist Party and the CIO,
the first time, it is believed, the
CIO has been named in damage
suit here.
The suits were filed by Larry
Davidow, counsel for Paul John
Padgett and Melvin E. Bartling.
Each asked damage of upwards
of $1,000 and for temporary injunc-
tons restraining the Communist
Party and the CIO from interfer-
ing with him in any manner.
Padgett. who was a witness In
the Ford injunction hearing before
Federal Judge Arthur J. Tuttle
during the strike, charged that he
was beaten outside the Federal
Building by members of the CLIO
and Communist Party Bartling. a
timekeeper at the Ford company,
charged he was beaten when he
attempted to pass through picket
lines during the strike.
CALLED THREAT To e. s.
In the suits, il is charged that
the Communist Party controls the
CIO and that the CIO and the
party are aiding the foreign policy
of Soviet Russia by calling labor
tive and unnecessary strikes TO the
end that national defense of the
United States will be seriously
crippled"
The plaintiffs are informed. the
suit states. that the recent So
called strike at the Ford Motor
Company was organized through
the conspiracy of the Communist
Party and the CIO; that the con-
duct of the strike was counseled
and directed. among others. by Roy
Hudson, Patrick Toohey and Will
liam Z. Foster. outstanding leaders
of the party and members of the
industrial commission of the CEN
trail committee of the party
CALL TACTICS TAUGHT
It is charged the defendants
have published literature "advocat-
ing the use of methods described
previously and that the tactics
so taught have been the very ones
described in this complaint as hav-
ing occurred at the Ford plant"
The plaintiffs also charge they
lost wages because of the strike
and each believes ut to be true
that the defendants will, by stop
page of work. again unlawfully in
terfere with the right of the plain
tiff to work. and the plaintiff has
good reason TO fear that he will
be deprived of his earnings over a
long period of time
Bartling charged that he was
beaten with a baseball bat and
believes il to be true that a large
consignment of baseball bats were
delivered TO the so-called Ford
local of the UAW-CIO at which
place the various COON squads and
others acting in conspiracy with
the defendants. as herein charged,
