Picketing Persists as Court Delays Lead to Tense Standstill
Stump urged immediate ruling from Judge Homer Strosnider of Harrison County Circuit Court after a similar injunction was refused yesterday. He warned that delay is as dangerous as denying the writ. In Clarksburg police kept a vigil at the plant while picketing continued and non striking workers remained quiet.
Clarksburg Beehive Plant Picketers Block Access
Beehices the plant pending court W Paul McWhorter Clarksburg attorney who appeared with Stump told the court that employees who tried yesterday to enter the plant were stopped forcibly by between 25 and 35 pickets who marched in a solid line in front of the plant entrance. They later let him enter. The company seeks an injunction to permit free access for non striking employees and others having business there. The case moves to the state supreme court after Judge Stro snider denied immediate injunctive relief. The union says picketing will continue until the dispute is settled. The Australian death rate is noted as very low.
