Police said they believed the man was killed when fire engines respond- ing to a false alarm at the Sun plant ran through a crowd of several thou- sand pickets and sympathizers out- side the gates of the main entrance. Many of the injured asserted they had been run down by fire engines. Rioting broke out after non-strikers attempted to get through picket lines surrounding the plant. As a second contingent of workers arrived, blows were exchanged. The company had announced its intention of starting up operations Friday after maintafning only s skeleton force on duty since the start of the strike, the result of repair crews refusing to work on a ship that the men said was manned by non- union seamen.
