INDUSTRY WAITS
GMS ANSWER
Today At 4 Deadline For
Accepting Arbitration
Proposal
DETROIT, No. 20—The au
tomobile industry—from the un
skilled workers right through the
front offices — today anxiously
awaited General Motors’ reply to
a union proposal for submission of
the tense wage dispute to arbi
tration.
Delegates to the General Motors
council of the CIO United Auto
Workers Union approved the offer
late yesterday and gave the big
corporation 24 hours to make ii
decision.
Interest centered largely around
these questions:
1. Would General Motors accept
the arbitration proposal by the 4
p.m. (EST) deadline set by the
union, thus opening the way for
possible settlement by • the same
method of disputes involving other
automotive companies, which, like
GM, are facing 30 per cent wage
increase demands?
STRIKE ACTION?
2. Would it reject the offer,
thus opening the way for possible
strike action by the delegates and
the union’s six-man strategy
committee empowered by the In
ternational UAW-CIO to act as it
sees fit?
3. Would the corporation, as in
timated by President C. E. Wilson,
ask for more time to study the
proposal and would the union be
willing to grant such an exten
sion?
Anxiety was heightened by
the fact that the GM council,
representing more than 300,000
workers throughout the na
tion, was scheduled to adjourn
one hour after the deadline.
Whether rejection of the pro
posal would prompt the delegates
to recommend,immediate strike ac
tion remained to be seen, but one
informed union spokesman said he
believed it would.

64 cents a pound for dressed and

In some instances the birds were
selling below ceiling prices. One

and drawn turkeys for 59 cents a
pound.
