Out of patience with the CIO-led sit-down strike in the Hershey Chocolate factory, more than 3,000 Hershey company loyalists, local farmers, and members of various patriotic groups staged a rally at the newly completed Hershey Arena on April 6, then marched to the factory for a final confrontation with the striking workers.
