Strike In Ford
Plants Imminent
i
DETROIT (/P)—Final moves are
underway to enable the CIO
United Auto Workers to pull the
Ford Motor Co. production em
ployees out on a wage strike.
Michigan’s labor mediation
board is preparing for a secret
strike poll of the 75,000 Ford
workers in this state.
A strike to back up current
wage and contract demands—in
cluding SlOO-a-month pensions—
already has been approved in a
UAW-conducted vote among 10(3,
000 Ford employees.
That poll showed that they are
7 to l in favor of a walkout, if
necessary, although they were idle
for 24 days in a speed-up strike
that shut down Ford plants in
May.
But the state balloting is neces
sary to comply with terms of
Michigan’s Bonine-Tripp labor
law.
In other states, the strike vote
conducted by the union is ample
authorization for a walkout, and
Ford workers may be called out
by the UAW executive board at
any time.
The UAW filed a 10-day strike
i Won’t Press For
Statehood Now
WASHINGTON (/Pi—Chairman
Peterson <D.-Fla.) of the House
j public lands committee said today
he will not press for House action
this year on bills to give Statehood
I to Hawaii and Alaska.
“With the House rushing to ad
journ and with so much contro
: versial legislation still waiting for
action, we might peopardize the
; legislation by forcing a vote on it
I now,” Peterson told a reporter.
He said he had considered, but
1 given up, the idea of trying to
force a Housd vote despite refusal
of the rules committee to clear the
bill.
“We will press for action early
in the next session, instead, when
there will be more time and our
chances will be much better,” he
| said.

’ Hawaii Employei
Reject Peaee Tal
I -
(By Douglas Lovelace)
! HONOLULU, UP) — Emplc
i objections halted plans for pt
! talks on Hawaii’s waterfront sti
j in Washington today.
The Senate labor committee
1 hoped this 83rd day of the tie
could mark the start of nego
i tions in the nation’s capital ft
settlement.
Senator Douglas <D.-I11.>
proposed a ' down-to-brass-te
session by three men: <1> He
Bridges, president of the <
ILWU to which Hawaii’s 2
striking dock workers belong;
a representative of the islai
seven stevedoring firms; <3> Cj
f S. Ching, director of the U. S. c
filiation service.
J Bridges and his union said
to the Douglas proposal. Late i
terday the employers rejected
“The stevedoring compan
cannot see how a trip to Washi
ton to meet with Mr. Brie
would contribute to ending
strike,” said W. Russell Starr,
gotiating chairman for the i
ployers.
“We believe it can, and shot
be settled quickly through col
; tive bargaining here in Hawai
Starr’s statement quiet
i brought this retort from J
Hall, Hawaii ILWU leader:
“The employers fear a cha
in venue to a calm, objective
mosphere where mature and i
soning men can appraise tl
! case because they know it wo
j collapse overnight.”
