He openly discussed possibilities of class warfare between capital and labor, as federal attempts to mediate the O. M. C. strike temporarily collapsed and the govern ! ment looked to Gov. Frank Murphy | of Michigan as its last hope to effect a peace. Lewis said that the principal financial interests of the country were united in opposition to him and that either J. P. Morgan or Pierre S. DuPont could settle the General Motors strike "with a nod of their heads." DuPont, however, told the United Press in his first public statement on the strike that he was giving his unqualified personal support to the G. M. C. management in its activities. DuPont, board chairman of E. I. DuPont de Nemours Co. —which owns a quarter of General Motors common stock —in a telephone interview said: "I endorse the position taken by the company in the strike situation. 1 am perfectly satisfied.” DuPont declared he believed the majority of G. M. C. stockholders sympathized with his point of view i but added “however, I have no' definite information on the subject.” It was learned today from sources close to Lewis, chairman of the committee for industrial organization, that he regards the auto strike as merely a “sideline en-i gagement—far on the left front.” Close associates said unionization 1 of steel workers still is his major objective in the drive to organize the nation's workers behind his "one big union” banner. o Jefferson, Geneva Are Both Defeated decisions to out of county teams ever the week end.
