The U. A. W. A's next announced objective will be the vast plants of Henry Ford. But today, a few hours after they had signed an agreement with Walter P.

It was believed that with reordering effected immediately, the plants might reopen within 10 days. The union's task was to explain to a mass meeting of workers tonight what had been gained in the agreement. Collective bargaining

rights were achieved by the union

for those Chrysler workers who are on- its. membership rolls.

Change Long Rumored

Rumored for many weeks, the reorganization meeting yesterday climaxed a series of retrenchments among Utilities Power & Light Co. subsidiaries throughout the country. Control of Clarke holdings had been acquired by Floyd Odlum, Atlas Corp. founder, through trading Utilities Power & Light debentures for Public Securities Corp. stock. The latter is above the Power Light Corp. in the holding company structure. Directors re-elected were Mr, Pritchard, Arthur V. Brown. Elmer Stout, E. G. Ralston, W. C. Richardson and Elmer Scott, Other officers named are Mr. Ralston, vice president and general manager; Mr. Richardson, vice president, . treasurer ‘and assistant secretary, re-elected; Mr. Lee, vice president in charge: of public relations, re-elected; Mr. Scott, treasurer and counsel, re-elected, and Berton Stout, assistant treasurer. The 650,000 outstanding shares of common stock are held by that cor- | poration. . Mr. Johnson, who represented the Light & Power Co. in recent rate negotiations before the Public Service Commission, declined to comment on the reorganization. He left. last night for a trip through Texas. The vast Clarke utilities empire began toppling when he pledged $2,000,000 for a Chicago bank loan. The stock was taken up by the Reconstruction Finance Corp. and later redeemed by Mr. Odlum.

Companies Merged in 1927

Mr. Clarke merged the former Merchants Heat & Light Co. and the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. in 1927 to form the present utility. The reported price was $40,000,000. The forerunner of Light & Power was the utility formed in 1903 by C. C. Perry. The Utilities Power & Light Corp., organized as the Utilities Development Corp. by Mr. Clarke in 1915, . controls gas, electric, water and heat utilities throughout the country. Holdings are estimates at $400,000,000. Mr. Clarke headed the local utility board more than 10 years. A. C. Crandall, formerly connected with the Georgia Power Co., Atlanta, has been placed in charge of all company sales as commercial manager. R. E. Blossom, former merchandising manager, named manager of the company's radio station, WFBM.
