8 Charged in Fight

At Plant at Kenova

Four Hurt. Two Seriously;

Labor Dispute Held

Cause of Battle

KENOVA, Sept. 5 — UP — Magistrate Curtis Ward issued watch warrants today for eight men accused of taking part in a fight which ended in injuries to four men at the struck Jeffery-DeWitt Insulator company plant.

The fight took plate yesterday. Two of the men were injured seriously.

Picketing of the plant was resumed after the clash which state police attributed to a labor dispute. CIO pickets have been around the plant since a contract expired a month ago. AFL workers returned about two weeks ago.

Roy Hayslip, who was arrested by Sergt. W. P. Chadwick of the Kenova police after the clash, waived a hearing before Magistrate J. L. Malcom on a charge of cutting with intent to kill.

A juvenile arrested with Hayslip was taken to Wayne for arraignment before Judge C. W. Ferguson, Chadwick said.

Attendants at a hospital said Robert Holbrook, 45, and Loren Hatten, 22, the most seriously injured, probably would recover. Hatten suffered a fractured skull and Holbrook was stabbed.

The others hurt were Delbert Friley, 30, and Edward Friley, 32.
