State Police Guarding Dock
While Longshoremen Gather
For New Test of
By Richard A. Litfin
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
The Dalles, Sept. 29 (UP) Oregon state police carrvinir riot
guns with fixed bayonets today ousted CIO longshoremen
from the waterfront area where six men were injured yester
terday in an outburst of picketing violence over the "hot"
Hawaiian pineapple issue.
Four hundred longshore unionists had arrived in The Dalles
by 11 a.m. Leonard-Kelly, prominent The Dalles wheut and
cherry rancher, notified au-
thonties that he had organ-1
ized a volunteer brigade of
farmers and ranch hands.
which would be "on call" if
needed by police.
Despite an injunction issued
against further picketing at this
Columbia river port, carloads of
CIO dock workers from Portland
and other downriver waterfronts
returned to The Dalles in mid-
morning. They described them
selves as 'pedestrians,' not pick
ets. Thirty-five blue-u n i f o r m e d
state troopers, under orders from
Gov. Douglas McKay to "sup
press banditry, turned back long
shoremen who approached the
forbidden dock area. All. persons
without special permits were or
dered out of the waterfront dis
trict. .
More Men Arriving
"What are they going to use
tear gas?" asked one longshore
man who was halted outside the
restricted area.
Automobiles loaded with long
shoremen began arriving in The
Dalles in mid-morning. Police
chief M. E. Cloe said he had reJ
ceived an unconfirmed report
that a "goon squad" twas en route
here from Seattle, Wash.
"Harry Bridges is not running
the state of Oregon," declared
Gov. McKay when he dispatched
the state police to The Dalles at
the request of the port commis
sion and cniel Cloe.
Pineapple unloading operations
by non-union workers were halt
ed because of sabotage to the
loading crane during yesterday's
outburst of picketing violence.
One longshoreman told Chief
Cloe: .
'If one of those state policemen
should haul off and hit one of our
boys, I hate to say what the con
sequences would be. I went
through two wars and what if
they do have bayonets on those
guns.' inhink 1 could take it away
from him."
Pamphlets Circulated
Longshoremen circulated pam
phlets through downtown The
Dalles. The pamphlets blamed the
"pineapple kings of Hawaii," and
the "dictators of Hawaii" for yes
terday's violence.
lhe dictators of Hawaii are
trying to take over your town. . .
The taunts and jeers of scabs go

line, with the connivance of cer
tain local politicians, was difficult

Rioting on The Dalles Dock
Described by Correspondent
By Richard A. Litfin
(United Press S:mff Correspondent)
The Dalles, Sept. 29 HPi I was
talking to a truck driver in the
dock warehouse yesterday when
the hot pineapple dispute broke
into violence.
First I heard loud shouting.
Then I saw 200 to 300 longshore
men charging down the long
building. They were on a dead
run. And they were waving
clubs, axes, two-by-four boards,
sledgehammers and knives.
The police line of ten men was
hopelessly outnumbered. They
were brushed aside by the mob.
"Let 'em have it! Let's get
those finks!"
They swarmed around me as I
stood there with pencil and paper
in hand. But they weren't paying
any attention to me. They were
headed lor the young cowhands
and Oregon farmers who had
passed through their picket line
to unload "hot" Hawaiian pine
apple. Truck Damaged
They ran to a truck parked on
the dock. They broke its windows
and headlights and banged a driv
er to the ground. Then they went
to work on the big loading crane.
They systematically cut the guide
wires, hauled out the batteries
and smashed the motor with
sledgehammer.
They probably were inspired by
the large painted sign "Dole" on
the crane.
Some of the longshoremen
broke open several cases of pine
apple and t'irew gallon cans into

Agrees to
Pension Program
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 29 (IPiThc
Ford Motor company and Hie

agreed today on company-paid
SlOO-a-month pensions, possibly
setting a pattern in labor's fourth
round wage drive.
The agreement, reached after a
35-hour bargaining session the
longest in automotive history,
.averted a nation-wide strike set
for last midnight. It pointed a
possible way for labor peace
throughout the nation.
The contract, effective Oct. 1,
and running for 2 years, called
for 84 cents hourly to be paid
exclusively by tord toward pen

health insurance plan, and a
$280 per worker "package" medi

which suggested a 10-cent welfare

It was a feather in the cap of
UAW president Walter P. Reuth
er whose chief demand since
world war II has been pensions
for the auto workers.
The company said the pension
plan would cost approximately
$20,000,000 during the 10 months
