National Guardsmen Clear Pickets From Streets
MACHINE-GUNS FROWN DOWN ON SCENE OF STRIKE RIOTING
Flint, Michigan, Feb. 2. Grave disturbances may result from the granting, by the court, of the General Motors Corporation injunction restraining sit-down strikers from occupying the company's factories. The law has ordered the strikers to evacuate the General Motors plants within 24 hours.
The presiding judge announced his decision less than an hour after National Guardsmen had established machine-guns in the middle of the street in front of the Chevrolet Company factory where yester- day's serious rioting occurred.
Guardsmen cleared the streets of scores of pickets at the point of the bayonet. They seized the pickets' broad casting van, in which were two men, whom they took into custody,
WASHINGTON APPREHENSIVE
Washington, February Z. An explosive situation in the relationship between Government, capital and labour will result, it is feared, from the General Motors Corporation appeal to the courts on the alleged illegality of the sit-down strikers' occupa- tion of factories. The company calls the men trespassers. Miss Ellen Wilkinson, a member of the British House of Commons, who recently addressed the sit-down strikers at Flint, Michigan, declared they had formed themselves into an instrument of tremendous power-a fact which Government circles here grimly realise.
