Violence Is Reported

at Insulator Plant

AKRON, O. — Strike sympathizers climaxed hours of violence at the Ohio Insulator plant in Barberton early today by driving 50 guards inside the factory with a barrage of rocks and bottles.

Tear gas bombs and steams of water from fire hose were used by the guards before they retreated. Flares illuminated the scene. A factory gate house was demolished by the crowd.
