Jan. 5. —,XU.R) — Fed-1 oral intervention in the automobile labor crisis appeared a distinct possibility today. Seeretagy Fran- j <-es Perkins conferred with President Roosevelt shortly after a I committee for industrial organization official predicted that a gen- 1 eral strike against General Motors I Corporation was a "virtual certainty.” Continue Efforts Detroit, Jan. 5. — fU.Rj—Officials of the United Auto Workers of America indicated today they would continue their efforts to close General Motors plants one by one so long as the corporation persists in its present attitude to non-agree-ment on union recognition. "Are you going to call a general - strike in General Motors plants?'' l Homer Martin, international presi- > dent of the union, was asked. "It’s getting pretty general all the time,” he replied. The question was repeated. "You can use your own judgment on that," he said. "I can say, however, that I hope I it won't be necessary to call out ' workers in any more plants.” Officials and directors of the' : United Automobile Workers of > America met at international head-1 quarters to discuss the terse General Motors denial of their right to represent 135,000 of the corporation's employes. At headquarters of the vast motor car manufacturers here, it was reported that officials conferred with executive Vice President William S. Knudsen, who was in communication by long distance telephone with his New York office. Observers predicted that the next move by either group would either precipitate the threatened general strike or possibly bring the first move toward settlement of strikes and walkouts in 11 General Motors plants now affecting approximately 40,000 workers. Gov. Frank Murphy, requested to mediate in the labor situation by the union, conferred with mem- ' bers and General Motors' officials by telephone from the executive offices at Lansing. He said that he had held numerous telephone conversations with both factions since yesterday, but ■ refused to divulge what progress his efforts were making. The presentation of union de-
