[Mark in Rochester]

Perfect Circle Strike

The Perfect Circle strike began July 25, 1955. There had been some very minor violence. That is until the first week in October. The company had fired thirty-five strikers earlier in the week for picket line violations. The firings apparently sent a spark throughout the UAW-CIO ranks in the entire state of Indiana. An estimated 3,000 demonstrators massed before the foundry Wednesday and marched on some 100 non-strikers inside the plant.
