Two of the pickets had to be
forcibly ejected by police, fol-
lowing the reading of the riot
act from the state statutes by
Capt. Joseph Summa, when they
refused to step aside for the
plant’s personnel. All personnel
entered the plant, after a wedge
had been formed by about a do-
zen police breaking the picket
line.
The four arrested were
brought to police headquarters,
for booking in the patrol cars.
However, about 30 of the pickets
also arrived at the station ask-
ing to be arrested in sympathy
with those already arrested.
Arrested or charges of breach
of peace were John A. Painter,
38, Morris Rd., Prospect; Paul
Laurenzi, 41, 30 Serry Rd., Wol-
cott; Jesse J. Silva, 23, 143
Cherry St. and Anthony Gam-
bardella, 54, 53 Brichwood Rd.,
Seymour. Court appearances
were set for June 8.
