CIO Force Beats Back Invasion at Ambridge Plant
In Ambridge Pennsylvania on June 15, five hundred striking John L. Lewis United Electrical and Radio Workers members repelled a push by American Federation of Labor union men to enter the National Electric Products plant. A man was stabbed, about twenty IBEW members were clubbed near the gates, and police used tear gas to break up clashes. One Pittsburgh man, Joseph Quallick, was hospitalised with a serious chest wound. A mass meeting of 3,000 later blamed local police protection failures, with union organizer Mork Mallinger calling for state police. The strike affects 1,960 workers and stems from a dispute over representation under Wagner Act provisions.
