U. A W.T0 ASK NLRB ELECTION ING. M. PLANTS

Union Rejects Revision of Pact; Firm Threatens to End Dickering.

(Editorial, Page 12)

DETROIT, Nov. 15.—The United Automobile Workers Union prepared today to petition the National Labor Relations Board to order a collective bargaining election in General Motors Corp. plants throughout the country. Three hundred delegates to a union convention, representing WU. A. W. members in 60 General Motors plants, rejected last night a proposed revision of the contract entered into with the corporation last winter, which had been drafted after five months of negotiations.

William- S. Knudsen, General Motors president, greeted their action with a warning that the corporation would not negotiate further unless the union pledged itself to prevent unauthorized strikes and punish those responsible. A provision to that effect was incorporated in the proposed new contract, and was one of the points most distasteful to union delegates, who shouted down the pact in its entirety. The convention went on record, however, in opposition to “wildcat” strikes. It voted in favor of further negotiations on union demands for: (1) Sole collective bargaining rights in all G. M. plants; (2) Elimination of the wage differential between North and South, and a flat wage increase of 10 per cent; (3) Elimination of the six-month ‘“probationary” period now required before workers are placed on seniority lists. None of these was included in the proposed contract.

Apparently Acceptable

Mr. Knudson said that the proposal, before its submission to the two-day convention, was ‘“apparently acceptable to officials of the union.” But Homer Martin, international president of the union, not only advocated the agreement's rejection in a speech to the delegates, but repudiated a letter written Mr. Knudsen on Sept. 16 in which he recognized the corporation's right to discharge or otherwise discipline workers responsible for “wild cat” strikes. “The entire disciplinary clause is dead,” Mr. Martin said later.

The union's action returned cor-poration-union relations to the point at which negotiations for a revised contract began on June 11. The original agreement, which ended last winter's 44-day General Motors strike, still is in force and requires a 60-day notice for termination or revision. Mr. Martin said union attorneys would prepare immediately the petition to the National Labor Relations Board seeking a collective bargaining election in General Motors plants. He predicted that such an election would be held “in 30 or 60 days.” Whether individual elections would be conducted in each plant or whether the vote would be on a nation-wide basis, would be up to the NLRB, Mr. Martin said.

Set Up Machinery

Richard T. Frankensteen assistant president and chief of the union’s Ford organization drive, set up machinery for a national campaign among the Ford Motor Company’s 140,000 workers. Plans for the campaign were approved Saturday at a conference of 100 organizers called to Detroit from Ford plants throughout the country. Provisions were made for appointment of 30 organizers in the Detroit area and others for the company’s 16 factories in various sections of the country, The drive will be divided into various departments of propaganda or “education,” organization of Negro and other minority groups, distribution of leaflets, and publicity and “welfare” work. Union officials gave emphasis to the campaign because Ford, the largest independent producer and second only to General Motors in the entire industry, is the cnly one of the “big three” with which the U. A. W. does not have working agreements.

More Unemployment Is Due, [La Guardia Tells Conference

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (U. P.).—Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of

New York told the U. S. Conference

of Mayors today that there is every

indication of increased unemployment this winter and said Congress must provide a deficiency appropriation to meet the situation.

“1 fear we will have to ask for a¢ large amount,” La Guardia told the conference. “I regreat that we are unable to report any improvement in the unemployment situation,” the Mayor continued. “I frankly believe we will have to ask for a deficiency appropriation if the present trend of business and unemployment continues. “There is every indication there will be an increase in unemployment this winter.”

Criticizes Ballyhooing

La Guardia criticized those “who take a great joy in ballyhooing the return of this situation.” He declared that not only was this element doing the country and its people no good, but was doing itself more harm than is now realized.

He urged that some formula be worked out to determine what share of the relief burden be assumed by the municipalities. He pointed out that many cities are now caring for employables as well as unemployables. La Guardia urged that recommendations be made to Congress for amendment of the Federal Reserve Act to permit payment of interest by banks on city deposits.

Asks Change in Law

He asked for a change in the Federal Law to permit the Treasury Procurement Department to include in its contracts a clause which would permit cities and municipalities to purchase supplies at the same price as the Federal Govern-

ment. La Guardia said that he feared

opposition in the Senate to natural gas regulation was “prompted and motivated by utility interest.” La Guardia proposed that the conference send a message to the Committee for Industrial Organization and American Federation of Labor urging them to make peace.

Boetcher Is Considering Local Housing Board

THREE RESCUED AS HOME BURNS

Neighbors Carry Children Out of Flames; Pet Dog Survives Fire.

Workman today began repairing the fire damaged home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Arthur Landes, 1621 N. Capitol Ave., while the three Landes children recounted again their exciting rescue from flames yesterday. The family was awake but still in nightclothes when Mr. and Mrs. Landes, who were downstairs, smelled smoke, they said. Mr. Landes said he hurried into the hallway and saw flames licking at the stairway. He said he returned to pull some clothes on after shouting a warning. Meanwhile, Cecil Kerrico, 21, lying in bed next door, saw fire come out of the side of the house and he and James Sutton, 24, his roommate, pulled on some clothes and dashed barefooted to the Landes home. They rushed up the flame-encir-cled stairway. Mr. Kerrico picked up Diane, 8, and Joseph, 6, School 32 pupils, and carried them down the stairs. Mr. Sutton picked up John, 5, and started down the stairway pulling frightened Miss Alice Crane, maid, who was nearly hysterical. No one was injured. Earl Bells, who also roomed next door, phoned

an alarm to the Fire Department. Mr. Landes, who owns and operates the Harry K. Landes Co. 837 N. Illinois St. said he could not estimate the damage to the two-story frame dwelling. After firemen had extinguished the blaze, the children asked for their dog, Sonny, who had been in the basement where the fire started in a box of loose papers, according to Mr. Landes. Firemen said the dog was dead. But a searching party found him cowering away from the smoke in a far corner of the basement, The children today are at the home of their grandmother, Mrs. R. C. Stolz, 541 Eugene St.
