BRIEF STRIKE: These pickets appeared this morning at the site of the new $5,000,000 Parke, Davis & Co. pharmaceutical research laboratories at 2810 Plymouth Rd. The strike was the result of a dispute on another job near Detroit between members of the Reinforced Steel Workers' union and the Barton-Marlow Co. of Detroit. The Barton-Marlow firm is the general contractor for the local project. The dispute was settled today and work is scheduled to be resumed on the project tomorrow.
