Connecticut Federation OF Labor
Secretary John J. Egan urged that

UNLESS something Is DONE" he
warned, well have an uprising like

Egan said he doubted whether
an enlightened court would rule that

tional," and told the committee
either the courts will become en-
lightened or the people Of the coun-
try will change the courts"
The country, he said, is experience
ing Its greatest labor unrest. I'VE
are sitting on a key Of dynamite.
The people want shorter huors and
they are convinced there Is q way OF
getting them. II the legislature is
wise, 1t will reduce the hours to pre-
vent the possibility Of unrest
Manufacturers Oppose 1t
Charles L. Eyanson, assistant to
the president of the Manufacturers
association of Connecticut, opposed
the bill and asserted 1T would be
most foolhardy for the state of Con-
necticut to pioneer In a 40-hour
week."
He said industry was prepared for

This was the agreement that
Martin and Richard Frankensteen,
organizational director Of the law,
laid before the sit-downers who
have held the plants for more than
a fortnight:
/. Lewis, chairman of the COM
mittee for industrial organization,
agreed TO get the sit-downers out Of
the plants.
2. Chrysler pledged he would not
attempt to resume production OF
automobiles or remove tools and
machinery from the nine plants
during subsequent negotiations.
3. Both parties agreed 10 con-
tinue their conferences ON the issue
of whether the JAW should be
made the sole collective bargaining
agency for all Of Chrysler's en-
ployes.
Tour Of Plants
AS soon as Lewis and Chrysler
reached their agreement in Lansing,
leaders Of the U. A. w. drove
through q sleet storm TO Detroit to
start a tour Of the plants. Their
first stop was at the DeSoto factory
where the sit-downers voted un-
animously to ratify the truce. They
did not leave the plant Immediately,
however, and 1t was said that later
in this morning the union would
fix q time for simultaneous cvacu-
alton Of the nine plants provided all
the sit-downers ratified the truce.

conclusion has been reached on col-

"In the meantime, I have re-
quested that the Chrysler plants be
Immediately evacuated, and Mr..
Lewis and his associates have
agreed to the suggestion. I have
been advised by Mr.. Chrysler that
while these negotiations are In
progress, manufacturing operations
will not be resumed in the Chrysler
plants and no tools, dies or machine
cry will be moved from any Of the
Chrysler plants.
No Reason 10 Stay
I'm view Of these circumstances,
there would seem to be no reason
why the men now In the plants
should not be Withdrawn ut once,

all plant officials, and stats, all
office help, all plant protection
(plant police), all maintenance men,

appropriate steps to accomplish
these objects be taken at once by
the proper officials Of the United
Automobile Workers Union"
The letter was written on the Of
ficial stationery Of the state of
Michigan, but In the excitement of
last night Murphy forgot to sign It.
1t merely ended "Yours truly.
Standing In the same room Of the
Lansing capitol where he found the
basis for a peace In the General
Motors strike, Murphy turned to
Lewis and said:
II am giving this letter to Mr..
Lewis"
The chairman Of the committee
for industrial organization = his
broad face creased by fatigue-ac-
cepted the piece Of paper without
comment. Later he said:
"Our representatives will at once
ask the men in the plants to comply
with this arrangement. They will
return to Detroit as soon as they
can"
Bus Starts On Trip
A few minutes later a bus rolled
out along the icy highway toward
Detroit. In 1t were Homer Martin,
President of the u. A. w.: Fran
kenstcen; and Ed Hall and Why'd
ham Martinez, vice presidents of
the union.
Chrysler had nothing to say and
the only comment from his group
was made by B. e. Hutchinson,
chairman Of the corporations fl
nance committee, who said:
'The letter speaks for itself. There
is no further comment from inescor-
poration."
Murphy, suffering from a cold,
folded his arms and said:
II am very grateful for the at
titude shown by Mr.. Chrysler, Mr..
Lewis and their associates"
President CongTatulates
Later Murphy,s telephone rang
On the other end Of the tine, at
Warm Springs, Ca, was President
