(Received August 1, 1 p.m.) CLEVELAND, July 31
Forty-two persons were hurt, several seriously, when a battle between pickets and police resulted; from efforts to escort workers through a picket Hue into the sirikc-bounrl lusher Body division of General Motors. . The pickets who were variously estimated to number from 3000 to 5000 used stones and clubs and were dispersed by tear gas and streams of water from hoses by a force of 200 police, who restored order with great difficulty. Later when the Mayor, Mr. Burton, and the Director of Safety, Mr. Ness, under whose orders the strikers (who are C.1.0. members) were dispersed, arrived on the scene further violence broke out, and Messrs. Burton and Nass had their automobile windows smashed. The police made several arrests. The plant had been working on a curtailed schedule for three weeks, the tool and die workers having called a strike. The dispute arose from the terms of the new contract.
