F|RE5T0NE STRIKE
ENDED With union
PACT AFTER 3 Weeks
Akron Rubber Company Reaches
Agreement With c. L. o. I'm
ions.

AKRON, Ohio (UNS)-It took an
8-week strike, a decision of the Su-
preme Court, and many long con-
ferences to convince the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company that the
inevitable was unavoidable, union
officials said in commenting on the
new agreement with the United
Rubber Workers, c. I. 0. union.
A standard six-hour day and S.
hour week is provided for in this
contract, the first signed agreement
so far achieved in the rubber in
dustry. Stipulations for time and
one-half pay after a 40-hour week
or an eight-hour day, and reduction
of working hours to "A a week for
eight consecutive weeks before any
lay-offs are made, were also in
cluded.
A statement informing the work.
ers that the company was 'happy
to advise employees that a satisfac-
tory agreement had been reached,
and that work would begin as soon
as possible after ratification, was
issued by the Firestone Company,
ending a strike which began March
4 and closed both plants. Approx
mately 10000 employees were in
volved.
The agreement which recognizes
the United Rubber Workers as the
collective bargaining agency is to
remain in force for one year. The
company promises that it will not
aid, promote or finance any labor
group or organization which pur-
ports to engage in collective bargain
ing" thus ringing the death knell
of another company union on the
rapidly growing defunct list.
More Company Unions Gone
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company and B. F. Goodrich, also
have withdrawn financial support
from company unions.
Before the agreement with Fire
stone was reached, S. H. Dalrymple,
president of the union, in the face
of the numerous breakdowns in ne
goiations, charged the company with
violating the Wagner Act, and defy
ing the U. S. Supreme Court.
The union agreed in the settle
ment terms not to call any sit-downs
or strikes during the terms of the
pact. The strike just ended was not
a sit-down, but a picketing strike.
Orderly picket-lines continued from
the beginning of the strike until
negotiations were completed.
There were rumors during the
course of the long-drawn out nego-
t%iations, that a settlement was pos
sibly being delayed because of op-
position from Ford. An agreement
had been practically reached a week
or ten days after the decision of the
Supreme Court on the Wagner bill,
when representatives of the employ
ers walked out Of the conference,
after receiving a long-distance call
from the east.

The overwhelming vote which

cent and a fraction.
Alvan M~acauley, president of the
company, was reported as saying
before the election that he would
be surprised if the union won.

The votes cast at the election

U. A. W. and 1865 against. There
are some $4,000 workers employed

HIGH HOPES HELD
FOR LABOR PEACE
Some Leaders on Each Side
See Unified Movement
After Farley Oct. rs.

Et INK AsSOs4eteG freSS
Some leaders in each faction ex-
pressed high hopes today that next
weeks peace conference of A. F. of L.
and c. 1. o. representatives will lead
to new, unified labor movement.
Each side Will go into the con-
ference here October IS without any
commitments. Neither has indicated
any willingness to yield on the con-
fiicting theories Of union organization
Nevertheless. members Of each group
said privately they believed something
could be worked out to unite the
1000 900 members of the two organi-
cations into pne force.
A possible solution advanced by
labor observers was acceptance by
the American Federation OF Labor of
the c. I. o. as an autonomous de-
partment.
Under this suggested reconciliation
the c. l. O. would contir e its IN
dustrial rganization-that Is, organi-
zation Of mass production workers
in one union-and the A. F. of L.
would continue organization by crafts
UnioniZatron would be carried on CO.
operatively, however, instead Of in the
open warfare Of the last year.
An arbitration board would decide
which group should organize border
line industries not falling clearly
into the craft or industrial classical
ton
Labor authorities said they expected
some sort of settlement to come from
the conference. because they believed
neither side would be willing to bear
the onus of Withdrawing without an
agreement.
The conference will be held stimuli
tsneously with the fourth annual con-
ference on State labor legislation,
called by Secretary Perkins.
She invited all Governors to attend
or send representatives here October
25-27 for discussion of such topics
as cooperation between organized
labor and State labor departments,
age discrimination by employers. safe
ty and health. minimum wages AMI
maximum hours and child labor.
