Government takes over strike bound plant Inglewood Cal
After a five day strike at North American Aviation in Inglewood California United States soldiers took over the plant under orders from President Roosevelt. About 95 percent of the 12 000 workers returned to duty and normal operations were expected by week end. The takeover followed clashes injuring at least 30 and led to 16 military arrests as workers protested wage demands and repudiated CIO leaders. Col Charles R Branshaw commanded the force restoring order with bayonets and tear gas later to hand the plant back to its owners.
