CIO DENIES CHARGE


Go union officials denied
1ickets had damaged any Of the
store merchandise and intlmidated
and customers in the
store.
August Scholle. regional Go di-
rector, in a telegram TO Gov
Kelly. protested the action Of state
and Royal Oak police who "bru'
tally attacked the peaceful
pickets.
The complete text of Scholle's
telegram follows:
ION Saturday morning several
state police officers, acting with
Royal Oak police. arbitrarily
demanded tina: peaceful picket
lines established at the Royal
Oak Montgomery d Ward Co.
store be limited to 10 pickets.
Several OF the pickets were
brutally attacked by local and
state police officers with police
clubs. There was no violence
other than the beating Of peace
full pickets. No one was mo-
Tested by the pickets.
"In behalf of 100000 Go
members We vigorously protest
state police officers being
aligned with Sewell Avery. who
Is now violating the federal
labor laws.
This conduct on the part OF
the officers Of the law can result
only I'm righteous Indignation on
the part of thousands Of MEM
bers and every decent citizen in
the state of Michigan.
Go ASKS POLICE AID
"In n dispute of this kind
where all of the agencies of
government have totally Vindi-
Gated the stand taken by the
labor union and where we have
even had a Supreme Court rul-
ing against Avery and Wards,
these pickets should have the
assistance of police Officers
rather than their opposition.
Are police going TO continue
In this strike to be used to
brutally beat law abiding pickets
and uphold the law-breaking
Avery and the Ward Co. and a
large group of imported thugs?
"A number of the pickets
who were viciOusly attacked
happened To be veterans of this
war and they don't think this
Is what they fought for.
"They don't believe that
police, state or local, should he
used 10 aid and abet law
viOlatOrs.
''In the name Of decency and
the true tradition of a govern
ment of the people and for the
people, we request that the
police Of this state be used TO
help enforce the law. including
enforcement where Avery and
Wards Il concerned"
