"Mounted State Police are shown dispersing
defiant pickets from a street near the main entrance
to the east Pittsburgh plant of the Westinghouse
Electric Corporation on March 26th after a battle
broke out between strikers and supervisors and foremen
who were trying to enter the plant. The State
Police were called in after deputy sheriffs lost
control of the situation. Some 250 troopers,
mounted and on foot, were rushed from nearby Greensburg
to break up the milling mob, estimated at 2,000."
