One of the pickets, Jack Chambers, who Is secretary of loCal 6 1. 7 IWA, said, "We just told the train crew to get out of here." He said it was possible that a rock or two might have been thrown. Though tempers flared along the, railroad tracks, nol effort was made" to stop - a speeding motorcade of workers from sweeping through the main gates of the plant at 7 a.m. Organized as they were yester day in a long, swift moving column of cars, about 50 work ers sped by pickets to open She pine mill for a third day of . operations since tne strike was called.

The first day of oper ations, Monday, 20 men defied the pickets. Stationed at the gates to the plant this morning, were about 35 men from Local 6-7, which is maintaining the picket line. This is less than halt the num ber of pickets massed there yes terday. Stopping the train marks the second incident at the mill since it re-opened. Marsden Elliott, president and general manager of Ponderosa, reported this morning that one of the returning workers was in volved in a fight with Chambers of local 6-7.

The exchange of blows is said to have occurred along the railroad sidings yesterday morning. , Swollen, Discolored Dillon's mouth was described by Elliott, as being swollen and discolored. Chambers, however, denied ever being in a fight with Dillon "or any one else" at Ponderosa. As far as he knew, he said, there hadn't been any fights be tween pickets and Ponderosa workers. The possibility that there might be a more determined at tempt to block entry of workers into the mill, tomorrow morn ing was reported by Elliott. He said he understood that the local 6-7 is going to be reinforced with men from as far away as Klamath Falls. The sheriff's of fice advises that it has heard, a similar report.

He said the administration want? to make sure, however, that any- new laws do not interfere with legitimate transient workers. 9.
