Du, mart Strikers Remanded for judgement on Assault Charges All charges, according to evi- dence, arise out of a fracas between "workintt" employees and pickets at the Dumart plant early on the morning of June 2 in which Joseph Piely was severely injured. Evi- dence showed that the injured man. Plely, had been struck in the tace by "someone" as he stepped ott a truck to enter the plant. Plely, two witnesses said, was then pushed off thc shipping dock and fell 'ttce firsit on the pavement. _ _ Each of the nine accused pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault, and five of the nine denied they were even on the shipping dock when the injury to Plely occurred. The four accused who admitted being on the dock are Charles Burgess, Mark Burgess. Jack Wil- son and Kirol Kutz. The other five are William Lane. president of the Dumart union. Joseph MacDonald, Nichols Wonsowich. Donald Har- lock and James Joyce. All nine denied even seeing the attack on Plely, and Sgt. Herbert Gimbel and Constable John Carroll of the Kitchener police department, both said they did not see anyone strike him. Will Face Intimidation Counts ht Next Hearing Magistrate H. R. Poison, after a tive-hour hearing, reserved judg- ment for one week on charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against nine striking em- ployees of Dumarls Limited on Wednesday.

Henderson Asserts Kitchener r Commission Unfair To Town KITCHENER -Nt's not fair that the Town of Waterloo, your best customer, should pay mote for gas than the Citizens of Kitchener. vspvmnlly when you consider that Wutvrloo dons all honk-kvopmg and Inlllnu work itself!" So dcclared Chairman William Henderson of Waterloo at a recent momma of thc Kitchener public utilities commission. asking the Kitrhvncr commission from which It buys gas. to lower tho rate to W,ttcrloo Vol. as, No. 24 Pointing out that hrs commission had to haw hmv to consider teasi- hullly of tho requcst.

Two of the accused in evidence supported by additional testimony, claimed they were not even at the plant when the fracas occurred. All the rest maintained no blows had been struck. As the afternoon hearing com- menced. Defence Counsel Dautman asked the cadi to rule there had not been a prima facie case estab- lished against any of the nine ac- cused "with the possible exception of Katz". but Magistrate Poison ruled the defence had to present evidence in each case. "These brilliant young men who were students in various schools and universities. had to flee Ger- many and other European Coun- tries because of their Lutheran faith or because they had Jewish blood in their veins," stated Rev. Cronmillor. “They landed in Eng- land, penniless and without means of support and were taken to Can- adian military camps with hun- dreds of Nazi prisoners of war." Rev. Cronmiller pointed out, however. that although interned. the young students are not consid- ered in the class of ordinary pri- soners of war by the government. "They are treated very welt." he stated. William Hawkins identified Kuta, one of the occused in the court- room. as the man who struck Plely in the face "twice". then "pushed him off the dock". Recalled to the witness stand by Crown Attorney W. P. Clement, Hawkins, a "work- ine" employee, again testified that the accused. Kuta, was the man who struck Plely. then "pushed him off the shipping dock with both hands". "I told police at the time that Kutz was the man, and he (Kutz) didn't make any reply," witness stated. But Witness Hawkins contended he saw the accused Kuta strike Ple- ly twise in the face. then push him off the dock, Witness Frederick Alteman, en- (Contluued on - Plight of the refugees was ex- plained bv Rev.
