Management lawyer, Atty. J. Kenneth Bradley, said Friday that the production was ”partially” for the defense effort, and partially of items ”for use in other parts of the country.”
He did not go into detail on the use of the items except to say the items ”are not for use by ourselves.”
Naugatuck Police Chief Frank J. Mariano and Capt. Joseph Summa were in the courtroom for Friday’s session but were not called upon to testify.
In asking for an end to the picket line difficulties, Judge Gaffney said it was easy for him to understand them when it appears to union members that ”someone is destroying . . . the right to work and live.”
”I trust we will never have a hearing” on the matter, the judge said. He added that he hoped he would not be forced to issue an injunction against the union.
Judge Gaffney on May 6 issued an order for a show cause hearing against Local 45 of the United Rubber Workers in con-nection with picketing at the Footwear Division, also in Nau-gatuck, but a hearing has never been held.
It has been continued twice and more continuances will be entered as long as the picketing remains peaceful, Judge Gaff-ney said.
He said he hopes the issuance of a show cause order against Local 218 will have the same pacifying effect on picketing ac-tivities at the Chemical Plant.
The United Rubber Workers has been on strike for five weeks.
