Union complaints that police used excessive force in quelling a disturbance at Hussmann Refrigerator Co. were denied by Bridgeton Police Chief George Krelo after about 100 pickets were arrested outside the plant Monday. Krelo said about 500 striking workers gathered outside plant gates at Taussig and St. Charles Rock Roads and began throwing rocks at cars entering the facility.
