A strike at the Pine Hill Brick and Pipe Company west of Madison has led to the arrest of three persons for throwing rocks at trucks of the company as they emerged from the plant. 

Plant Manager H.J. Duncan said the window of one truck was broken and the driver of another hit but not hurt by picketing strikers. 

This was the second incident of violence. Earlier, a worker who attempted to cross the picket line was beaten with stick-wielding strikers. 

The strikers are members of the United Stone and Allied Products Union and clearly represent a majority of workers. A company official said there are about 45 persons at work, down from the normal 230.
