" STRIKE IS CALLED INHUDSON FAGTORY Body Plant Workers Demand 20 Per Cent Raise and Overtime Increase. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, February 7.—Officials of the Hudson Motor Car Co. announced today that 3,000 employes of the Hud- son body plant had gone on strike, de- manding & 20 per cent wage increase and time and a half for overtime. The body plant reopened Monday after a week's shutdown. “The officials said they had a con- siderable stock of bodies on hand which would keep the assembly plants in op- eration for several days, but reported they would be forced to close the en- tire plant if the strike continued more than a day or two. Communists Blamed. Insisting the walkout, which occurred shortly effer 10 am. today, was due to Communist agitation, the officials said they hoped to “have the men back at work in a day or two—as soon as wi can get in communication with them.” The demands included a 20 per cent increase in day-rate wages and a bonus of 150 per cent produced; a 30-per cent increase in all hourly-rate wages, with an addition- al 5 cents an hour for night workers: time and a half for overtime, and ade- | quate number of relief men on assembly lines, recognition of a grievance com- mittee in departments, and ade- quate ventilation in all departments. Says Wages Are High. Max Woilering, vice president in | charge of manufacturing, said the wages in the plant “already are better than | 20 per cent above those paid in other body plants.” He declared the list of demands “indicates an unfamiliarity with the plant.” “This disturbance is by agitators whe are outsicers s members of the Communist group.” he said. “Our own older employes have been reluctantly forced out. The Hudson Co. has been almost free from labor trouble for 7 25 years. There have been no us walkeuts or strikes.” Other officials said the 3,000 men who | walked out did so following a march threcugh the plant this morning by a emall group of leaders who rhouted, | *“Ccme cn, we're going out.” They raid the wzlk-out came suddenly, without advance infermation by cmployes. About 5,000 men still are employed in the gssembly plant. Plant Closed January 30. The Hudson body plant was closed January 30, when officials said they | would await the arrival of sufficient orders to keep the plant in steady oper- ation for several weeks. They declared the shutdown had no connection with jabor troubles at the plants of the Briges Manufacturing Co., where 6,900 men walked out two weeks ago, forc- ing a shutdown of the Ford Motor Co., for which the Briggs plant supplies bodies. Briggs officials today reported they were operating at full strength producing bodles for the Ford Co., while officials said sope of their branch plants had reopcned, in preparation for a return to production. Another Setback Met. Arbftration between the Briggs offi- clals and the striking employes received another sotback yesterday when the company notified Mayor Frank Murphy's Fact-Finding Committee that strikers’ demands, submitted through the com- mittee, could not be met. The demands included 8 minimum of 45 cents an hour for women, 50 cents for men, a five-day week and nine-hour day and recognition of shop commit- tees. ‘Walter O. Briggs, president, wrote the e that “to accede to such de- *"* ‘would be to bring ruin not only to the automobile inaustry, but to other industries in this city.” He also reiterated the charge, repeat- i d by the strikers, that the s of Communistic origin. Tote that “the stated causes for which our employes were induced to leave our plgnt have been eliminated”; that the “so-called ‘dead-time’” been abolished and that employes now e guaranteed a minimum hourly wage. ‘No man or woman on the Briggs pay | roll,” he wrote, “i3 now receiving less | than & minimum guaranteed basic rate of 30 cents an hour.” SIX FROM CAPITAL ON 6.

INDUSTRIES SAVE BIG CASH RESERVES | Gains in Third Year of Depression. , By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, February 7.—Large in- | corporations appear in the| main to have come through the third year of the economic blizzard still holds ing big cash reserves. A number of the companies already | reported for their 1922 fiscal year | actually show gains in cash and equiva- | lent over the end of the previous year. | Statisticians point out, however, that companies which issue their reports in the earlier weeks of the year usually| make a better chowing in the aggregate | than those which report later. | A relatively low volume of bonded in- | debtedness had, stood the industrial | companies in good stead. Their fixed | charges average lower than those of the railroads or public utilties, so that liquidated, cash accounts have swelled in many in- stances. Refinancing Unnecessary. Industrials also have been saved much of the embarrassment of having bonds mature in this period of difficult re- funding. A tabulation by Standard Statistics Cc. shows that against fixed debt maturities for 1933 of nearly $300,- 000,000 for leading railroads and $275,- 000,000 for utilities, industrial bond ma- turities in excess of $1,000,000 aggre- | gate only about $82,000,000. Short-term bank indebtedness is a relatively much | larger burden for industrial companies | ihan bonded debt, but injects an ele- | ment of uncertainty only into situa- | tions in which the bankers may regard | the outlook for restored earning power | as_unfavorable. , | In a number of companies. cash ac- | count has grown, despite the fact that | deficits have been reported. This has| been largely due to the fact that| charges for depreciation and obso- lescence of plant are charged against operating income, but these charges do not involve cash outlay until such time | 2 money is actually spent to restore | the plant. A number of companies | have reduced their cash through | maintenance of dividend rates in ex- |cess of earnings. This was partly re- sponsible for the shrinkage of General Motors’ cash account from $205,029,119 on December 31, 1931, to $172,780,695 |on December 31, 1932. | Table Shows Gains. | In the following table are some of | the larger companies thus for report- ing, which show gains in cash account | at the 1932 fiscal year end, over the previous year end (figures represent units of $1,000,000): | Armour & Co..

He believed dogs go to Heaven with their masters and said he wafited to make sure his pots did not fall into cruel hands. Ycsterday, in accordance with his desires, the dogs were de- stroyed.

State Department inquiries in Eur- | ope. to ascortain whether Bullitt had represented himself as a semi-official envoy in the matter of war debts, as charged by Senator Robinson, Repub- lican, Indiana, brought this information along with a number of other replies today. Just how many times Mr. Bullitt visited the cfficial home of Ramsay MacDcnald head of the British gov- ernment, the cables did not say, but there re strong intimations that ne had been there on more than cne oc- casion. ‘Whcther he saw the Prime Minister during these visits also was left vagu: by the cables.
