Flint Local President Hints Rejection of G. M. Pact.

By United Press Four, major strikes among the ‘ nation’s organized workmen ended taday and a new one started. Striking employees of the Fisher Body Corp. at Flint, Mich.; the Nash-Kelvinator Co. at Kenoska, Wis.; the Chrysler assembly plant at New Castle, Ind., and the Chicago Stockyards returned to work after settlements of their grievances. The new strike involved the Chicago American and the Chicago Herald & Examiner, Hearst evening and morning papers, whose American Newspaper Guild employees charged “mass firings” and violation of editorial contracts. Along the strike front: FLINT—The Fisher Body Corp's. 6400 striking employees returned to work after representatives of the United Automobile ‘Workers Union and the General Motors Corp. reached an agreement, the terms of which were not made public immediately. Henry Wilson, president of the Local, said he believed the union membership would reject the pact. Settlement of the three-day . strike did not come soon enough to prevent a one-day stoppage of work because of curtailment of supplies at the Buick plant here, where 100,000 men are employed.

KENOSHA—Seven thousand employees of the Nash-Kelvinator Co. and its subsidiary, the Seaman Body Co., went back to work after the company agreed to reinstate 300 members of the W. A. W. discharged after they staged an unauthorized sit-down strike Friday for higher wages. NEW CASTLE — Henry County authorities investigated interunion strife blamed for a three-day shutdown of the Chrysler assembly plant despite the fact that 3600 employees returned to work under a settlement calling for further negotiations to settle the jurisdictional dispute. CHICAGO—Some 350 Stockyards employees went back to their jobs and livestock began moving into the yards after the company agreed to recognize the C. I. O. as the bargaining agent for 600 workers. CHICAGO—Guild officials said 1100 persons were on strike against the two Hearst newspapers demanding re-employment of discharged circulation workers and negotiations for a new guild contract embracing editorial and commercial employees. The managements denied there had been any contract violations, asserted the chief issue was a jurisdictional dispute between the C.I.O. and the A. F. of L. which only the National Labor Relations Board could settle, and said the newspapers would continue to publish.

HEARST EMPLOYEES AT CHICAGO STRIKE

Guild Claims 1100 Out; Publication Continues.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5 (U. P)~— 2merican Newspaper Guild employees of the Chicago American and the Chicago Herald and Examiner, Hearst evening and morning papers, struck today in protest against alleged “mass firings,” violations of editorial contracts and refusal of the company to, negotiate. Richard Sellars, international representative of the Guild, a C. I. O. affiliate, said 1100 guild members were participating in the strike and that 3000 editorial, circulation and business department workers would be affected.

“This is the biggest strike in the,

history of the Guild,” he said, “and we will extend it to all of the Hearst newspapers through the country if necessary.” : Publishers Deny Charges Merrill Meigs, punlisher of the American, and Harry A. Koeler, publisher of the Herald and Examiner, cenied all the Guild charges and said the two newspapers would be “printed and distributed as usual.” A 28-page first edition of the American rolled off the presses _-about half an hour behind schedule

and Mr, Meigs announced “men will |

be hired to replace those who walked out.” Eighty to 100 pickets set up re- . volving lines in front of the two main entrances to the building. A squad of 10 policemen and five officers was on duty in Hearst Square and other policemen guarded circulation depots. Guild officials said the home delivery of the HeraldExaminer was “crippled 85 per cent.” The publishers charged that the chief point at issue was a jurisdictional dispute between the Guild and the A. F. of L. and that the management could not legally bargain until the National Labor Relations Board had determined the proper bargaining agent.

(Editorial, Page 14) | NEW CASTLE, Dec. 5 (U. P)— The Chrysler Corp. plant reopened and 3600 employees went back to work today as the Henry County Grand Jury continued investigating alleged violence in the huge automobile factory. fou A settlement between the plant management, the C. I. O. and the A. P. of L. was reached late Saturday after three days’ negotiations. Electric power was shut off at the plant Thursday . morning, bringing work to a standstill, when | United Automobile Workers pickets refused to let 80 members of the Die Sinkers Union, an A. F. of L. affiliate, enter the gates. | Company Manager erman Welch and U. A. W. A. officials issued a joint statement that the U. A. W. A. would not prevent any employee, whether a U. Al W. A. member or not, from entering or leaving the factory. Meanwhile, County Prosecutor M. M. Edwards said “15 to 20” witnesses probably would be called before the Grand Jury. | :

Livestock Exchange |

Operations Resumed |

CHICAGO, Dec. 5 (U. P.).—The Chicago Livestock Exchange resumed normal operations today under terms of a temporary agreement reached yesterday by yard officials and striking handlers affiliated with the C. I. O. The strike had paralyzed the Exchange since Nov. 21. | Cattle, sheep and hogs from farms within a 100-mile radius of Chicago began moving into yards last night after the strikers, numbering about 350, voted almost unanimously to return to work. Leaders of the union, the Live Stock Handlers’ Local 567, immediately sent a skeleton force of men to the pens to feed and water the stock. The remainder returned to work early today. | The agreement, put in writing by the Union Stock Yards & Transit Co. after meeting with union leaders under supervision of Federal and City conciliators, contained three provisions:

Union Is Recognized

The company agreed to recognize the union as exclusive bargaining agents for the 600 workers in the yards; the company will continue negotiations on hours, wages and working conditions, and the company will put the-agreements made in negotations in writing. The strikers voted to reserve the right to strike again unless a contract is signed within 10 days, but arbitrators believed they would have little difficulty in obtaining a reasonable extension if negotiators are unable to draw up a contract in that time. | The union, besides the written contract, demands wage increases for 65 men now receiving from 7 to 10 cents less than the eXisting scale of 62% cents for hour, a 40-hour week, vacations with pay, a closed shop and the check-off system (company collection of union dues).

Balk at Checkoff

The company was reported to have agreed already to all demands except the closed shop and checkfT |

off. Henry Johnson, organizer for the Packing House Workers Organizing Committee, C. I. O. affiliate which represented the handlers’ union in the negotiations, said handlers affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, would be given 10 days to switch their affiliation to the C. I. O. The A. F. of L. men failed in an attempt to break the strike last week.

Fisher Body Workers

Return to Jobs

DETROIT, Dec. 5 (U. P.)— Workers in the Fisher Body Corp. in Flint went back to their jobs today. They had been on strike since Friday. Last night officials of General Motors settled their grievances in conference with officials of the United Automobile Workers Union, but a shortage of bodies forced a one-day closing of the Buick plant today. Terms of the settlement were not made public immediately.

Nash-Kelvinator Plants

Are Reopened

KENOSHA, Wis., Dec. 5 (U. P.).— The T7000 employees of the NashKelvinator Co. and its subsidiary, the Seaman Body Co.. Milwaukee, returned to work today as a result of a settlement Saturday of an unauthorized strike of 300 members of the United Automobile Workers Union. ‘The company dismissed the strikers Friday after they had started a

increase in wages from 922 cents per hour to $1 per hour. The union’s executive board investigated and persuaded the company to withdraw the discharges and ordered the strikers back to work under threat of dismissal from the union.

MINTON PLANS T0 SURRENDER LOBBY INQURY

Schwellenbach Is Hoosier’s Choice to Take Over Committee Reins.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Senator

| Minton. (D. Ind.) plans on turn-

ing over the chairmanship of the Senate Lobby Investigating Committee to Senator Schwellenbach (D. Wash.), he asserted on his stopover here en route to Panama. Indiana’s junior Senator expects

to be made chairman of the Senate Pensions Committee and with such a permanent chaiymanship he will forfeit chairmanship of the special committee, he explained. Nothing but grief came to Senator Minton from the time he succeeded then Senator Black (D. Ala.) as Lobby Committee chairman. When Senator Black was elevated to Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, the committee already had encountered almost universal criticism for its mass seizure of telegrams. This occurred after a credible performance in exposing the use of forged telegrams to try and influence Congress against the Utilities Holding Company Bill

magazine in Chicago entitled “Rural Progress.” : There followed a speech in the Senate in which Senator Minton assailed the American Newspaper Publishers Association in general and Col. Robert R. McCormick, chairman of its freedom of the press committee, in particular.

tor Minton introduced a bill to curb the press by providing fines and imprisonment for publishing ‘“untruths.” Later he said he didn’t mean his bill to be taken seriously, but throughout that summer he engaged in radio debate with Col. McCormick, editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, regarding it.

Fund Appeal Turned Down

The measure was assailed by the American Civil Liberties Union, as was the blanket seizure of telegrams by the committee, So when Senator Minton sought additional funds to carry on an investigation of the press by his committee, the Senate turned him down on the last night of the session. Since Senator Schwellenbach is a close friend and 100 per cent New Dealer ally of Senator Minton, it is predicted here that there will be little change in tactics of
