CHRYSLER PACT |S DISCUSSED AS

DISPUTE GOES ON

U. S., Michigan Seek Solution to Closing of Motor Firm Plants.

DETROIT, Oct. 13 (U. P)— Chrysler Corp. and the United Au-. tomobile Workers of the C. I O. re- ~ sumed negotiations on a new contract today while Federal and State mediators attempted to solve a dispute that already has made 55,000 Chrysler workers idle. ‘Differences between the company and union over production schedules, expected to be clarified in the new contract, led to what the company called a “slow-down.” Saying their employees were not doing the amount of work required, the company closed the main Dodge plant which makes parts for all Chrysler plants. The shortage of parts caused Chrysler's De Soto, Kercheval, Jefferson,. Plymouth and Dodge truck plants to close. This stoppage has made idle 15,000 workers at Briggs Manufacturing Co. plant, which makes Chrysler bodies.

U. S., State Enter Case

The United States Department of Labor assigned David T. Roadley and Edward C. McDonald from Washington to the case. They met with union and company officials separately.

The State Labor Mediation board}

prepared to send three officials to investigate the situation. Richard T. Frankensteen, regional U.- A. W.C. I. O. director, has filed notice of intention to strike in all Chrysler plants and has ordered a strike vote among all Chrysler locals in Michigan, Indiana and California. Evansville and New Castle, Ind., plants are affected. Five-day notice of strike intention 1s required by State law here. The new contract would replace one that expired Sept. 30. The National Labor Relations Board refused a request by the U. A, W.C. I. O. that it be permitted to bargain collectively for workers in all 13 plants collectively, and ordered elections to determine representation in each plant. The U. A. W.C. I. O. won a majority vote in 11 plants, the U, A. W.- A. F. of L. got a majority in one plant -and one plant rejected both unions.

Relations ‘Friendly’ So Far

The union submitted general points of the proposed new contract yesterday. Union spokesmen said the points included bargaining procedure, union recognition, discipline of members, discharges and seniority rights. These discussions continued today. Both company and union officials said that so far they had been “friendly.” The company charged that the

union workers had stalled at their}

jobs, to initimidate the company in advance of negotiations. Mr. Frankensteen denied that the workers had slowed down production. He said the company had tried to speed it up beyond the endurance of workers to get out 1940 models with which the ‘workers were not yes familiar.

CLAIMS ‘HALF DOZEN SUBS IN CARIBBEAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 .(U. P.). —Chairman L. Buell Snyder (D. Pa.) of the House Military Appropriations subcommittee said today that “half a dozen” foreign sub-

marines were operating in the Ca- |’

ribbean. Mr. Snyder, just returned with Rep. Joe Starnes (D. Ala.) from an 11,000 mile official .inspection of coastal defenses, said the submarines belonged to “a country embittered against the English.” He said, Governor Lawrence Cramer of the Virgin Islands had told him of the presence of submarines, and that the air and seat patrols had, confirmed it but had been unable to determine their nationality. “They think,” said Mr. Snyder, “that there are half a dozen or so submarines that have worked out a system of v maneuvering down there, and that they have been there for some time.” He said that they were first seen about three weeks or a month before Germany invaded ‘Poland. Mr. Cramer, he said, told him the information | about the submarines came from citizens in the area and from “reliable sources.” “Nobody could tell me where they refueled,” Mr. Snyder said. “Some were of the opinion that a great big submarine brought fuel from

a rather distant point and that in|"

‘the dead of night it refueled the smaller submarines, and refed and replenished and ‘re’ whatever else was necessary to them. ”

PITT TO COMPLETE ITS ‘POLISH ROOM’

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 13 (U.P.) — Regardless of the outcome of the European conflict, the Polish. Room at the University of Pittsburgh’s skyscraper Cathedral of Learning will be completed, according to Mrs. V. L. Alski, a member of the Polish room committee. The Polish room will be one of 19 nationality classrooms at the university. Mrs. Alski explained * that - although about $2000 is needed for the room, “the university has agreed to pay for the room, then let us pay the money back when Poland is safe.”
