Police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of demonstrators, led by women and children, who tried to storm the gates of a Stone Container Corp. factory in Coshocton, Ohio, after a rally to support striking workers, a company security guard said. Four people among the 300 to 500 protesters were slightly injured and two were arrested after rocks were thrown and police responded with the tear gas, authorities said. The injured were treated at Coshocton County Memorial Hospital and released, a spokeswoman said.
