Stoned by Strikers--A non-union worker ducks behind the wheel of his car in leaving the strikebound Wilson & Co. packing plant here last night as a volley of rocks thrown by United Packinghouse Worker demonstrators thuds unto the machine, one putting a hole in the windshield, others just about to land. Windows and windshields of many cars carrying non-union people were shattered. The outburst and a similar, more extensive one Wednesday night brought a declaration of martial law from the governor effective early today.
