DEntorrt Jan 23—Concillators
found new hope for peace In the
paralyzing General Motors strike
Saturday night in the assurances
tif both automotive capital and
union labor that settlement through
negotiation would be welcomed
Statements by Homer Martin in-
ternational president of the United
Automobile Workers of America and
by William 8 Knudsen executive
vice-president of G M heartened
the efforts of Gov Frank Murphy
and Secretary of Labor Prances Per-
kins to effect a reconciliation of
differences so negotiations can be-
gin on representation collective bar-
gaining wages
All See Way Open
Murphy Knudsen and Martin re-
turned to Detroit Saturday after
collapse of federal mediation efforts
at Washington These leaders said:
"The next move is up to the union
We are willing to stand on that
ground until there is a break"—
Knudsen
"We desire a settlement of the
strike just as much as General
Motors The strike can be
settled in 24 hours"—Martin
"The two groups must be brought
iogether soon"—Murphy
Secretary Perkins at her Wash-
ington office said she saw "favora-
ble factors in the situation"
Agreement Void
Knudsen bluff grey-haired pro-
duction executive of the world's larg-
est builder of motor cars told news-
papermen that although he consid-
ered Gov Murphy's negotiation
agreement achieved at Lansing last
week to be "void":
"We would be glad to have its
terms reinstated if the union would"
"We will not attempt to negotiate
with any other organization such as
the Flint Alliance (non-union em-
ploye organization at Flint Mich)
until the controversy with United
Automobile Workers is settled" he
then added
With this statement Knudsen vol-
intarily removed one of three major
stumbling blocks to resumption of
negotiations leading to peace in the
industry Conciliators have been
faced with the problems of occupa-
tion of various G M plants by sit-
down strikers the union's insistence
upon "sole bargaining rights" and
the alliance
Production Down
Evacuation of the plants remains
the major "stumbling block" in the
words of Alfred P Sloan Jr G M
president Conferences over collec-
tive bargaining will follow this exo-
dus of weary strikers from the
plants the corporation has promised
The production plight of Gen-
eral Motors was revealed today by
Knudsen
"Our production of automobiles
Is practically zero" he said Knud-
sen emphasized that of the 234000
employes of the corporation—includ-
ing those outside the automotive di-
visions—there were: 31000 on strike
In 17 auto plants 95000 additional
out of work as a result of auto
strikes and shut-downs and 108000
workers still employed 70000 of
Which were making automobile parts
and assembling cars

Mr Lattimore has filed a response

Should the high court decide to

111 UNION FIGHT
And Liberties Committee Re-
ports on Open Shop
Methods
By HERBERT LITTLE
News Washington Writer
WASHINGTON Jan 23—How
some open-shop employers combat
labor unions was revealed Satur-
day by the Senate civil liberties
committee
Testimony and exhibits dealing
with the National Metal Trades
Association to which 952 factory
managers belong disclosed that:
ONE: "Certain departments of
the Government sought co-operation"
of the N M T A to keep
plants in production on Govern-
ment contracts An N M T A of-
ficial said the Army and Navy in-
telligence services and the justice
department "co-operated" in its la-
bor espionage work
Wanted to Fire Help
TWO: Employer-members asked
the association how to discharge
union members efficient in their
jobs without being charged with
violation of the Wagner Labor Act
THREE: Agents of the N M
T A who had joined the A F of
L "federal unions" including all
production workmen in certain
plants
FOUR: The N M T A sent to
President Keller of Dodge Corp a
big Chrysler plant a report that a
Cleveland retail automobile dealer
P W Caldwell had told an N M
T A man he favored a closed-shop
union organization The executive
officer of N M T A wrote to the
association's eastern representative
proposing that he pass along to
President Keller of Dodge the in-
f or m ation that Vice-President
George E Deming of Philco Co in-
sisted as a member of the Phila-
delphia mayor's labor committee
that employers should sign agree-
ments with unions (It was brought
out that Chrysler is a big Philco
customer)
Refused Membership
SIX: The N M T A refuses
membership to companies which
sign closed-shop agreements The
association also is opposed to the
"majority rule" governing the choice
of spokesmen by employes
SIX: An expert machinist was
employed at the N M T A's New
York office by a man who identi-
fied himself as Capt Joseph Hol-
man "an officer of the United
States Government" and was sent
to apply for a job in the Pratt Sz
Whitney Aircraft Co Hartford
Conn where he was directed to re-
port on union activities The ma-
chinist refused the job on learning
that it involved spying
SEVEN: The N M T A sup-
plied 104 "undercover operatives"—
labor spies—to 73 of its members
from March 1 1933 to July 31 1936
In addition to these developments
it was brought out that one report
of the association charged Gerard
Swope executive of the General
Electric Co with being a "parlor
pink"
