. BODY PLANT USED BY FORD 15 SHUT Order Follows Walkout of 2,000 at Briggs Unit. Parley Is Begun. BACXGROUND— Successful in organigation efforts in the automobile industry, notadbly in campaigns at plants of Chrysler and General Motors, union organ- isers face greatest test at Ford Jactories. Despite confident statements by labor leaders, it is generally be- lieved a far more intensive battle s in prospect than was the case in former organization drives. B the Associated Press. DETROIT, May 17.—The Briggs Manufacturing Co. closed its Meldrum plant employing 2,000 men today fol- lowing a walk-out of maintenance workers. Officials conferred with representatives of the United Auto- mobile Workers to adjust the dispute. U. A. W. A leaders said the walk- out, after wage demands were refused, was not authorized. An agreement ‘with the Briggs concern, signed April 18, forbids such an interruption of production. Company officials said the plant probably would reopen to- morrow. It produces bodies for the Lincoln-Zephyr division of the Ford Motor Co. ‘The union is preparing for an in- tensive drive to organize Ford em- ployes, and also is drafting plans for & conference on proposed changes in its agreement with General Motors Corp. Combine “Sit In” and Picketing. In & new maneuver, workers en- tered the closed Pelton & Crane Co. tool and die plant today and “sat down” formed a picket line outside. Officers of the company, which em- ploys 75 persons, announced Friday that the plant would be closed this week. John Anderson, U. A. W. A. organizer, said the action violated an agreement which provided for reduced hours when a lay-off impended. Union officials said the opening of two offices in Dearborn, home of the Ford company, had been deferred un- til later in the week. They indicated that the postponement was caused by & desire to make “something of a splash” in inaugurating the campaign. To Confer on G. M. Pact. Letters to U. A. W. A. locals in Gen- eral Motors cities disclosed the plans for a conference on revision of the General Motors agreement. Homer Martin, president of the International Union, said the conference will be held *“not later than the first part of June,” but the date has not been fixed. June 11 is the first date on which 60 days’ notice may be given by either General Motors or the union of intention to seek revision of the agreement. Martin said the conferees also would seek methods of eliminating unauthorized strikes in General Motors plants. Four such strikes affected more than 16,000 General Motors workers in Cleveland, Janesville, Wis, and Saginaw, Mich, last week. All were beck at work today. Production Resumed. Production was resumed in the Chevrolet Grey Iron Foundry and the Baginaw malleable iron division of General Motors at Saginaw, where 7,000 employes were idle last week. Rumored attempts of union employes to prevent non-union workers from entering the plants did not develop. Before Martin left on a speaking tour that will take him to Los Angeles and Oaklahd, Calif, he said he ex- pected no resistance in the union’s Ford organization campaign. “We will use every method we know to encourage Ford workers to join our union,” said Wyndham Mortimer, union first vice president. Union fanfare in other organizing campaigns has included use of auto trucks with powerful broadcasting equipment, parades, mass meetings, formation of feminine auxiliary rally- ing units, oratory and pamphleteering. Send Aairplanes Over Plant. On one occasion the union sent an airplane over a Ford plant to broad- cast to workers changing shifts. The week opened with Ford making the Arst move—distribution to its workers of cards bearing “Fordisms” —— e P LOST. ront of xmanwg}"lmgm Ly nt_of eveland st.

The first statement on the cards said “a monopoly of jobs in this country is just as bad as a monopoly of bread.” The last statement said “there is | no mystery about the connection be- tween corporation control and labor control. They are the two ends of the same rope. A little group of those who control both capital and labor will sit down in New York and settle prices, dividends and wages.” This was interpreted by observers in the industry as a reiteration of Henry Ford's declaration of inde- pendence from financiers and labor leaders alike, of his expressed con- tention that organizers of money or workmen move in the same direction, although on different planes, toward remote control monopoly and obliter- ation of individual significance. Sees “Fordisms” Ineffective. Martin dismissed the “Fordisms” as “soft words” which would have no effect on the drive. Martin said: “Mr. Ford's gestures of paternalism toward his employes at this late date resemble too closely the hypocritical overtures of the mustachioed villain public or the employes. “For years he has subjected his workers to low wages, the unbearable speedup and the most vicious spy system in the industry. “Apparently he is now - trying des- perately to make up for these in- Justices with soft words. He will nor his ‘isms’ will make any impres- sion on his workers.” wages and good working conditions in the Ford Motor Co. is a myth.” General Motors and Chrysler Corp., Martin said, “have always paid higher wages and had better working con- ditions.” Martin said the main Ford plant at River Rouge, Mich,, already has “more than 10,000 members” and will be granted a charter this week. Besides opening two organizing sta~ tions in Dearborn, the union plans to start others in Highland Park, Mich,, another Ford center. These offices will be devoted to the Ford drive, which is headed by a big com- mittee of international union officers and key men. Decision to defer opening these offices until later in the week indicated the union high command planned careful review of its plans before tackling the job. “We are going to give every em- ploye an opportunity to.join the union and we expect to do collective bargaine ing with Ford.,” Martin declared. STEEL VOTE THURSDAY. Strike Action Hinges on Test at Jones & Laughlin. PITTSBURGH, May 17 (#).—The steel Workers Organizing Committee, set to call strikes in the Nation's in- dependent steel producing firms unless it obtains collective bargaining agree- ments, turn today to an employe elec- tion in the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. plants. The vote Thursday will determine if the committee shall be the collec- tive bargaining agent for the firm’s 32,- 000 workers. The corporation agreed to give a contract if the union could produce & majority in the balloting. A 36-hour strike, called in the midst of negotiations for a collective bar- gaining agreement between Chairman H. E. Lewis of the $200,000,000 cor- poration, and Chairman Philip Murray of the Steel Workers Organizing Com- mittee, led to the election. The biggest labor election so far supervised by the Government has been the one held at the Packard Motor Car Co.’s plant in Detroit, in- volving about 12,000 workers. The union won an overwhelming victory. After signing a collective bArgaining HINKEL S *********}********** to the heroine in the old-fashioned | melodrama to convince either the find it won’t work.

With the exception of a preliminary contract with J. & L.—signed pending the election—granting it the same bargaining powers as are contained in the United States Steel contract, Mur- ray and his forces have failed to break the ranks of the larger independents whose annual capacity output ac- counts to almost onme-half of the Nation’s. Informed observers expect that a final decision on the controversy be- tween the union and the independent steel firms will be influenced greatly— possibly settled—by the Thursday ballot. Film Guild Reaches Terms. HOLLYWOOD, May 17 (#).— Unionized film players, granted bet ter pay and closed shop, were pledged today not to strike during the next 10 years, but a 17-day walkout of craftsmen still harassed Hollywood studios. The strike front of the Federated Motion Picture Crafts was broken, however, when members of two of its 10 unions returned to work. These— the machinists and culinary workers, numbering about 300 of the federa- tion's 5,100 striking members—agreed to begin formal negotiations with producers in 10 days. Refusing to return were the paint- ers, plumbers, boilermakers, scenic artists, hairdressers, make-up artists, utility workers and stationary engi- neers. F. M. P. C. officials informed pro- ducers they would continue to seek a written guarantee of 100 per cent union shop and no change in the status of personnel because of the strike. “Upon compliance with these two basic demands the strike can be ter- minuated immediately,” it was an- nounced. “Negotiations may be opened not later than May 24.” What caused the culinary union to resume work was not made public, but machinists explained their union never voted on the strike. Two thousand members of the Screen Actors’ Guild, at their third weekly mass meeting, ratified a 10- year contract with 12 studios last night. Chief feature of the guild-producer contract, beside the 10-year-no-strike clause, is the guarantee of guild shop for every player .in the industry, 10 per cent of stars and featured actors being excepted during the first five years. Hotel Strike Settled. ST. LOUIS, May 17 (#).—Normal operations were resumed in St. Louis hotels today, following settlement of a one-day strike under terms providing for recognitioin of unions, a “closed shop” and negotiations for regulation of hours, improved working conditions and an increase in wages. Termination of the walkout, which affected 2,000 workers in eight down- town hotels, averted its spread to 20 other hotels included in the St. Louis Hotel Association.

Y, May 17 (®). —Frank J. Brennan, a brakeman on the Long Island Railroad, today said a woman and two children, aged about 8 and 4, boarded his train at Brooklyn Saturday morning and got off at Brookhaven at 11:19 a.m. that day. The body of the girl, stabbed and burned, and a boy, badly wounded and burned, were found in the woods here yesterday afternoon. The brakeman said the only other passengers alighting at Brookhaven Station Saturday were a Summer res- ident and his wife. Police sought the couple for questioning. He said the woman with the children carried a box about 24 inches square. She was between 45 and 50 years old, wore glasses, a black coat with white neckpiece and a black hat. He could not remember the color of her hair. The train was crowded, he said, and the woman and the two children occu- pied one seat. Brennan was ques- tioned on the train today by members of the Suffolk County district attor- ney’s office. The wounded boy is in Fay Avenue Hospital. Detective Bert de Armitt and Sergt. Walter Weeks said they had elicited some clues from his in- eoherent mumblings. Autopsy Performed. An autopsy performed on the body of the girl showed that she died of burns on on the face, hands, abdomen and legs, and that she had been dead no more than six hours before the body was found at 2:30 p.m. yester- day. There was a jagged, superficial cut extending from the left to right mastoid bones. The operators found no skull fracture and no criminal at- tack. Raymond Cataldo of Riverhead, who thought the youngsters were his chil- dren, whom he had not seen for a number of years, later found that his children were safe with their mother in Brooklyn. The girl's body was found yesterday afternoon in a thicket a hundred yards east of this South Shore Long | Island village. Her throat was slashed and her body was burned. Gasoline had been poured on her clothing and ignited. The little boy, who said he wns> her brother, was found a few feet away. He lay as if asleep. The identification of the girl and | boy was difficult police work. Police said an effort apparently had been made to kill them both with a knife or ax, the slayer at- tempting to cover up evidence by burn- ing both bodies. The girl's body was found by a couple walking through the thicket. Investigators found the boy two hours later. Medical men believed the at- tacks had been about 12 hours before. ‘The only clues the police had at first were the feverish replies of the little boy to their many questions, but he was incoherent in many cases. “Joe did it,” the boy mumbled. “Mommy's hurt, too.” But later he said “Mommy hurt us,” | and then “Joe bought us ice cream | and then hurt.” “Where did you go after dinner today?” he was asked. “In the woods,” he replied, struggling with his words. The shoes of both children had been | removed, leading to the belief they+ were taken away to hide .possible | identification traces. Despite this ap- | parent precaution, the fact the bodies | were not wholly burned caused police to conjecture the slayer had left the | scene in haste. | A butcher knife and a pair of scis- | sors, both bloodstained, and an un-| stained axe were found near where the children were discovered.

C, MON NEW §312.000,00 FARM BILL READY Measure Drafted by Private Bodies Sent to House, Senate Units. BACKGROUND— Ever since invalidation of the agricultural adjustment act a new farm plan, the constitutionality of which could not be questioned, has been sought by one or another ad- ministration group. Lately many important farm organizations have been pushing substitutes for the currently employed soil conserva=- tion plan. By the Associated Press. Farm leaders offered to Congress today a new agricultural adjustment program which they said combined features of the invalidated A. A. A, Secretary Wallace's ever-normal granary proposal and the old Hoover Farm Board. The American Farm Bureau Fed- ération and other farm orgenizations drafted the bill, aimed at controlled production and parity prices for farmers. It was sent to the House and Senate Agriculture Committees. ‘The bill would allow the Commodity Credit Corp. to loan producers of basic crops from 80 to 90 per cent of the parity value of their produce. (The parity price is that which Agriculture Department economists figure a commodity should bring in order for far mincome to be in bal- ance with labor and industrial values. Thus it fluctuates as other prices rise or decline.) Loans Could Be Made. Government loans would be made only if the market price approached or fell below parity. If it went below, farmers could turn over part of their crops to the Com- modity Credit Corp. and receive a loan. They also would receive a parity payment representing the dif- ference between the loan and the parity price. The Commodity Credit Corp. would store supplies which it acquired for marketing during a period of scarcity. Thus, sponsors of the program said, prices would be stabilized and an abundance of farm products insured at all times. Quota System. The measure also proposed a quota system in event of threatened exces- sive overproduction., Farmers pro- ducing beyond their quotas would be assessed penalty payments. Collaborating in writing the bill were representatives of the Farm Bureau, the National Grange, the National Co-operative Council, the Farmers’ Union and the Farmers’ Na- tional Grain Corp. Formal sanction vxas said to have been given by all except the Grange and the Co-opera- | tive Council. Farm leaders said it also was in- dorsed by Secretary Wallace, A. A. A. | Administrator H. R. Tolley and other administration officials. Cost Set at $372,000,000. Sponsors told the House Agriculture Committee the new farm measure would cost “on the average” about The program would be financed out of the Treasury through regular appropriations. Earl C. Smith, president of the Illi- nois Agriculture Association, said the minimum estimate of cost was $287,- You judge your glasses by the comfort they give you.

Under the plan farmers would be permitted to sign 3-year-adjustment contracts beginning with the 1938 crop. Machinery to reduce production would be used, Smith said, only when supplies “threatened to get out of hand.” LABOR GROUPS OPEN TRANSIT UNION FIGHT C. I. 0’s Victory in New York Contested by A. F. L. as ‘War Begins. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 17.—The Ameri- can Federation of Labor and the Com- mittee for Industrial Organization were engaged in open warfare for con= trol of labor in the Nation's munici- pal transit systems from coast to coast. The C. I. O,, headed by John L. Lewis, won an overwhelming victory over the week end in a collective bar- gaining referendum on New York's Interboreugh’ Rapid Transit lines, operating the city's largest network of subway and elevated lines. Its af- filiated Transport Workers' Union polled 10,638 of the 11,585 votes cast. Aroused by this, John J. Sullivan, general organizer for the Amalga- mated Association of Street and Elec~ tric Rallway and Motor Coach Em- ployes, A. F. of L. affiliate which boy- cotted the referendum, announced his union” would not abide by the result of the referendum and that it would carry its fight to the Supreme Court if necessary. At the same time Sullivan disclosed plans of the A, F. of L. to fight to gain or retain control of transit labor in key cities throughout the country. Plans for battle against the C. I. O, he said, have been laid in Chi- cago, Denver, Los Angeles, Sart Fran- cisco, St. Louis, Baltimore, Washing- ton, Philadelphia and other large cities. A. F. of L. leaders, it was indicated, hold the I. R. T. referendum was illegal because Federal Judge Julian Mack, who named a board of three men to supervise the poll, had neither the jurisdiction nor the authority to act, even though the compeny is in receivership. - Fauquier Land Sold.
