Women Picketers Struck By Patrol_Car, Is Charge

"GRAND FALLS, Nfld. (CP)— H. Landon Ladd, president of the International Wood workers of America (CLC), said Tuesday an ROMP patrol! car sideswiped

ROMP are being used as an arm of the Anzlo-Newfoundland De-

The charge was denied by In. spector Arthur Argent, in charge of the RCMP force in this, central Newfoundland area ‘since IWA loggers went on strike against the

Mr. Ladd called for a “com- plete \investigation into the inci-

office in St. John’s and from the national headquarters of the ROMP in Ottawa.” : SHOCKING AFFAIR

He termed “the incident “a . not alone be- cause of the disregard for life and limb but: in that the RCMP’ spear- headed a drive to take outside strikebreakers through the line. This incident proves conclusively that the RCMP are being used as an arm of the Anglo-Newfound- land Development Company.”

Loggers struck the company to back demands for higher wages and a shorter work week.

Inspector Argent said union statements prompted a “thorough investigation” into an incident re- ported early Tuesday morning in

the Millertown area about 0 miles from GROUP OF T. ‘ A patrol car ‘spotted a group of taxis on the Badger highway.

‘ROMP knew that several car-

loads of TWA men were parked along the’ road. The patrol car followed the taxis which were 7e- ported to contain non - strikers wishing to enter Anglo-Newfound- land woods camps. ~*

" Inspector Afgent said ‘‘the po- lice patrol car following behind’ the, taxi noted the other. -cars, |

three or four of them, that were parked on the side of the road, fell in behind the police car_and trailed them to the vicinity of Bushan's Junction without inci- dent.”

Then a car approaching from the opposite direction got, stuck across the road in an aXempt to turn around. Men in the first taxi helped get the car under way.

“When the car arrived at the (Millertown) picke't line, it stopped and blocked the highway. The taxis stopped and the RCMP patrol car stopped about 100 feet

behind, *while the other cars halt|.

on the public highway.

“Two policemen got out of the patrol car and walked over to the picket shack. They reported they saw no women at that time. But later the women arrived from the cars parked out in the highway.

“Police asked who the driver of the (first) car was, and re quested he move it right away. The men refused to answer the police, so the police entered the cabin,” the inspector said. ©

“As the police went through the door, they noticed a man get into thé car and drive it away. They never saw the car again. With the road clear the police went to their

patrol car with the intention to drive to Millertown. ——

“Fhe police started t6 move forward, easing the car slowly past the” taxis: They did without incident. The police officers re- ported they went . . . so slowly oo speedometer didn’t even reg-

“One woman was noticed by the police officers (standing) nearby ... she put her hand on the right front fender of the patrol car and struck the wind- shield with a pap bottle.

“The police car continued to move ahead slowly and the policeman on the right-hand side of the car thought the woman would hit the windshield again . . so the car, increased its speed as the road was open and clear,”’ he said.

Three women, Mrs. William Eveleigh, Mrs. Reginald White and Miss Cecilia Paul told a re- porter they were ‘‘sideswiped by a patrol car.”

Church's Role In Industry Is ‘Speaker's Topic

“ The role of the church in in- dustry in Scotland was graphic- ally illustrated in an address to the men of Trinity by Rev. Fos- ter E. Hall Monday evening. Rev. Hall, minister of the Uni- ted Church at Hunter River, told

the group that until the turn of | the century the Scoitish people | has been industrious but x0t in-|

' dustrial.

He said noon hour lunch was | in singing psalms | and listening to a recitation or | an explanation of Scripture. It was a common sight to see the working man with a Bible, read-| ing as he worked.

He said religious influence waned with the coming of indus- try and communism spread, having a disastrous effect on re- lations between labor and man- agement and resulted in many strikes and hunger

The common cause facing both sides during the Second World War halted the encicachment of the Marxist doctrine for a time but it flamed anew at the end) of the war. For a time, he said, it appeared as if 53 per cent’ of Scotland's industrial firms would transfer factories or establish- ments across the Atlantic.

However, Christian influence exerted by the laymen of the| churches, helped greatiy in stemming the communisti> tide. |
