AT FORD PLANT

Dewey Seeks Conferences

On Firing of 300 in Lincoln Factory.

DETROIT, Dec. 20 (U. P).— Federal Mediator James. F. Dewey sought conferences with Ford Motor Co. and United Automobile Workers (C. I. 0.) officials today.

Acting on instructions. from Washington to “render all possible assistance,’ he said he would attempt to meet separately with both

’* sides and. learn the circumstances

surrounding the union-company dispute over the‘ dismissal of 300 to 400 Lincoln plant workers, The union charged the men “were fired without regard to senjority in a discriminatory move against U. A. W.-C. I. O. members. The company said they represented normal seasonal layoffs. To the statement of Harry Bennett, Ford personnel director, that “we don’t. recognize seniority the way they (the union) do,” a U. A. W.-C. 1. O. spokesman replied that it was “manifestly unfair to lay off men with as much as 24 years seniority while retaining men who have been in the (Lincoln) plant no longer than 30 days.” Mr. Bennett said that “very likely all the men will be taken back when they are needed after Christmas.” He blamed a “disturbance” he said was made by Norman Smith, international union representative, in the Lincoln plant lobby for the failure of Mr. Smith and a committee of nine workers to see the management Thursday regarding the releases. The union plans to petition the NLRB “probably on Monday” for a bargaining election in the Ford River Rogue, Lincoln and Highland Park plants. It claims a majority - representation ‘among the 100,000 production workers.
