Picketed Home Faces Foreclosure Threat in Toledo
Pickets guard John Ukaszek’s home to deter eviction over a mortgage, threatening 400 defenders if sheriffs move to oust the family. Ukaszek, his wife Bertha and their 17 year old son sit inside as neighbors and labor groups pledge to defend 1600 other Fourth Ward families. Sophia, 19, the only wage earner, works as a maid for $2 weekly. A spokesman warns of trouble if evictions proceed. Police report a separate auto collision on Broad Street near Ely Park.
