Rioting at Apex Hosiery mill leads to court hearing
William Meyer, president of the Apex Hosiery Company, told Federal Judge William H. Kirkpatrick that police directed traffic in front of the mill as a crowd stormed the building injuring him and damaging equipment. About 250 workers were said to have occupied the mill since May 6 while the company alleges the American Federation of Hosiery Workers violated the Anti Trust Law. Guards denied rioting, and union sympathizers reportedly forced entry as the mill closed for labor trouble seasoning. Police were observed on the wreckage but did not disperse the crowd.
