Work To Solve Strikes

Planned By

80,000 Ford Employes In Detroit Area Return To Jobs Today President Truman Puts Finishing Touches On Plea To Nation.

BULLETIN! CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-(UP) The United Packing House Workers of America (CIO) called a strike for January 16 against the nation's major meat packers today. The strike was ordered by union leaders seeking to enforce their demands for a wage increase of 25 cents an hour. It will cut off a large share of America's meat supply and affect 200,000 packing house workers. Swift, Armour, Wilson, and Cudahy the big four of the meat packing industry will be hit by the walkout Altogetner it will affect 147 plants but the strike will not shut down all packing plants. Workers in some plants who are members of the Amalgamated Meat -Cutters and Butcher Workers of, America (A.F.L.) refused to join the work stoppage. (By United Press) President Truman put the finishing touches on a scheduled radio talk to the nation today. as administration labor officials worked overtime to head off threatened strikes by 1,500,000 workers in the next two weeks. The president's address tomorrow night was expected to devote considerable attention to his request for creation of fact-finding boards in serious industrial controversies. Congress delayed action on the proposal until after the holiday recess. Despite the large number of pending walkouts, the national strike total was reduced to 419,000 .today with return of 80,000 Ford Motor Co. employes to their jobs. Ford, workers in the Detroit area were laid off because, of parts shortages caused by strikes in" supplier plants. '

Janice Hayden Conscious Again, Condition Grave, Mr and Mrs. Fate Rice of Sullivan today received a telegram from their daughter, Mrs. Theda Hayden, stating that little Janice Marie Hayden, granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rice, had regained consciousness today for the first time since she underwent an operation at Johns Hopkins university hospital, Baltimore, Md., on December 27 th. Little Janice Marie's case has attracted nation-, wide attention since famous doc-! tors sought to save the child, who . suffers from a grave heart ailment and is known as a "blue! baby." The telegram received from the mother today stated her return to consciousness was thej "first hope of life since the operation." ! The parents of the child, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hayden, formerly of Sullivan county, reside at Michigan City, Ind. The frail child had weakened steadily since last Thursday when Dr. Alfred Blalock, noted "miracle surgeon", performed a delicate although j fruitless operation on her crippled heart. j At Michigan City Monday, the father revealed that the child hadn't responded after the oper ation as they had expected and that she had been kept in an oxy-j cen tent continually even that. seeming to help but little. Janice's case, somewhat different than most blue babies, has puzzled doctors. Expecting he would be able to cure her condition by surgically repairing the pulmonary artery from heart to lungs the surgeon discovered ' when he operated, that the artery' was round, large and normal and that the technique which has saved many blue babies would not help here. Instead he treated the nerves in the artery on the bare ' chance her condition grew out of a previous disorder that was periodically strangling the vital blood stream. Another wire received by Mr. and Mrs. Rice recently, bearing happier tidings, came from their son Les of the Navy, informing them that he had reached Treasure Island, California, and was awaiting transportation to Great Lakes, 111. He is expected to reach home soon.

1,500,

Work stoppages set for the next -two weeks, if put into effect, would tie up service in the telephone, steel, telegraph, electrical appliance and meat packing lndustries Most serious of the disputes affected 700,000 CIO steel workers scheduled for a nationwide workout Jan. 14 to enforce demands for a $2 a day,wage increase. If it' materializes, the strike will be the biggest in the nation's history. Edgar L. Warren,' conciliation service director, planned to confer today with officials of th General Electric and Westinghouse Electric companies in an effort to avert a strike of 200,000 employes of those companies in General Motors Corporation electrical division. Federal conciliators met today with company and union officials in a last-minute attempt to prevent a strike, scheduled for tomorrow, of Western Electric employes in New York and New Jersey. The Western Electric Employes Association is affiliated with the National Federation of Telephone Workers, which was asked to call out its 250,000 members in a nation-wide sympathy strike. Opposing parties in the 43-day General Motors shutdown were expected to meet tomorrow in another session aimed at breaking a deadlock over reconversion wages. Flames Destroy N. Lebanon Store A grocery store owned and operated by Wayne Arnett at New Lebanon was destroyed by fire last night at 9:30 o'clock. Only the walls were left , standing.
