VIOLENT FIGHTS
HOLLYWOOD STRIKERS FILM STUDIO PICKETS 50 PERSONS INJURED (9 a.m.) NEW YORK. Oct. 24. A fresh outbreak of violence in Hollywood resulted in injury to 50 persons, including a policeman, and the arrest of six others when workers crashed through a massed picket line at the Paramount film studio. The police helped 50 studio workers to break the picket line of 500 strike sympathisers. A possible clash was averted at the Republic studios, where 150 pickets barred the way to 600 workers when the company president directed the employees over a loudspeaker to return to their homes. Many pickets assembled at the Warner Brothers studio and smaller lines were maintained at other studios where the employees had been on strike for seven months.
