Monroe Plant

PONTIAC, Mich, June II GIN.
sO.-A general strike here was
averted today by Homer Martin.
president Of the United Automo-
bile Workers Union, after q
turbulent night which saw Pom
tiac auto plants close and a non
union worker tarred.
The tarring Of the non-union
worker, according to q formal
statement by General Motors
Corporation, took place in the
Fisher body plant here. Name OF
the worker was not disclosed.
Shortly after that incident, q

the United Automobile Workers
Union local here so unionlsts
could. go to Monroe to stage q
mass protest over use Of armed
forces to rout a c. I. o. picket
line at the. Newton steel plant
at Monroe late yesterday.
Dramatic Appearance
The general strike call had led
to the shutdown Of the Fisher
BODY plant, and caused the clos
ing Of the assembly line OF the
Pontiac Motor Company, both
General Motors units. A total
of more than 1000. workers on
night shifts were made idle.
However, Martin made q dra-
matte appearance here at down,
read the riot act" to assembled
workers at the U. A.. w. hall and
ordered them to report for the
day shifts today.
Later, however, 1t was deter
mined that the workers could not
report in time today so the Fisher
Body plant and the Pontiac as
sembly line were shut down until
Monday. This affected q total
of 1900 men, counting both day
and night shifts.
BaIks General Tieup
However, Martins action pre-
vented q general tieup Of General
Motors plants here and the lay
off Of 10000 other men. He also
spread Of a strike move
ment that might have led to gen.
eral picketipg of stores such as in
the general strike in Lansing, the
State Capital, last Monday.
Shop stewards already had be-
gun rounding up workers at

when it was announced they
would remain closed over the
Those reporting were
sent back home.
Martin arrived In Pontiac after
more than 500 employees Of the
Fisher Body plant here had gone
to Monroe. This closed the plant
at the lunch hour shortly after
midnight.
Martin, at the meeting, was
to have told the workers
that "all union workers in Pom
tiac had better return to work
today if they want to stay in this
union" According to those at the
Martin accused IlnioniStS
here Of causing q lot Of unneces-
Sary trouble" He pointed out this
