Lewis of the United Mine Workers (A. P. of L), from withdrawing from the conferences. A strike of 113 truck drivers in Detroit idled 12,000 employees of the Briggs Manufacturing company plant, which makes auto bodies. The Briggs shutdown, in turn, resulted in the closing of assembly lines at the Plymouth auto and Kercheval body plants of Chrysler corporation.
