President of Pontiac Local
Refuses to Turn Over
Union Fund to Men.
3 GOODYEAR PLANTS
ARE CLOSED TODAY
Sit-Down Enforced in Protest of
Layoffs and Demand for
Seniority Rights.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PONTIAC, Mich, Nov. l9-The
Pontiac local of the United Automobile
Workers of America Numbered its
rejection Of a plea from the interna-
tional union to abandon a sit-down
strike in the plant of the Fisher Body
Corp. here early today.
In tumultuous meeting which be-
gan last night and continued nearly six
hours. the auto workers voted by &C
clamation to proceed with the strike
after Fred Pieper, member of the
international Executive Board, urged
them to return to work.
President Joins in Plea.
Door V. Mitchell, president of the
local. Joined with Pieper in asking the
men to discontinue the strike. which
began Wednesday night and left 14,72l
General Motors Corp. employees idle.
Mitchell said the Shutdown was "un-
authorized' and declined to turn over
to the members the locals strike fund
which is controlled by local union off,
GERS. The 1000 members at the meet
ing had voted to use the fund for the
men who have held the body plant two
days and nights.
Pieper, sent here by the international
union to ask the men to call off the
strike said he would return to the De-
troit headquarters and that interna-
tional officers would issue a statement
later.
Settlement Plans in Dark.
Both the U. A. W. A. and General
Motors protested ignorance of plans to
negotiate a settlement. Corporation
executives said neither the Fisher plant
nor the Pontiac motor car factory, de-
pendent upon the body-producing unit,
would open before Monday.
The sitdown began few hours after
the management insisted upon sus-
pending four workers it blamed for a
12-hour strike in the Fisher plant
earlier in the week.
1t was the third such suspension Of
operations in Michigan General Motors
plants this week, the other having
taken place in the Cadillac motor car
division at Detroit Wednesday. That
sit-down lasted only a few hours.

Unauthorized by Union.

Shutdown at Goodyear Plant Declared
Unauthorized by Union.
AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 10 (P).-Twelve
thousand Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
employees were idle today, the result of
a Shutdown precipitated by scheduled
Iay-of of 1000 workers.
Operations were suspended in the
three plants of the largest of Akron's
"big three" rubber companies.
John House. president of Goodyear
Local, United Rubber Workers of
America, called a union meeting for
Sunday to consider the sit-down. He
said the Shutdown started at midnight
was without union authorization.
C. c. Slusser, company vice presi-
dent and factory manager. said, I'VE
will not bulge from our position. They
can sit down from now till the 4th of
July"
Mr. Slusser asserted he might meet
with union representatives today con-
corning the scheduled lay-offs, but it
won't mean thing"
Office workers, kitchen employees and
maintenance crews were the only en-
ployes unaffected by the shutdown. The
company cafeteria remained open to
serve idle employees. The company
took no steps to bar workers from the
premises
House said seniority rights were
an issue in the controversy, claiming
the company followed seniority based
on departments, while the union seeks
seniority recognition on company
wide basis. The company issued no
statement.
Describing the shutdown as "spon-
taneous outburst of the uneasiness
which has been present in the minds
of Goodyear employees for many weeks"
Mr.. House said the action resulted
when last-minute efforts to induce
Mr.. Slusser to postpone the layoffs had
failed and when it was found that
seniority rights would not be observed
in the company's retrenchment pro-
gram.
Union officers have been trying for
many weeks to get definite agreement
on layoffs and just seniority program
through amicable discussion, but de-
spite every effort We have made for
such agreement this question has not
been settled" House said.
The union executive said he had
been informed that the layoffs instead
of being on a factory-seniority basis
would be on departmental or division
basis with few transfers.
Prior to the strike Slusser announced
the necessity for layoffs had' existed
for long time.
1T should have been started months
ago with the recession of business. In
that way, the men laid off might have
been absorbed elsewhere and the re-
manning employees would have had
reasonably full time" Slusser said. He
added that the company hoped to re-
store four-day working week jan
uary /.

Invites Use of Park

Mayor A. Henriksen, park commits
sioner, issues the following statement
in regards to the village park:
"a lot of work has been done to
beautify the village park; many new
benches and tables have been placed
there; two fireplaces have been con-
structed on which to roast weiners
and cook coffee Some trees have
been moved to give space for play
grounds and a number of new trees
have been planted to replace some
of the original trees which have died.
The kittenball diamond has been i'm
proved; two courts have been pro-
vided with horseshoes for those who
are interested in the game of horse
shoe. The flag circle has been put
in shape for croquet and SiX-ball
set is there to be used Sand boxes
for little tots to play in are there
and we would encourage parents
to send their little folks in the park
to play, where they are safe from the
street traffic. Later on we hope to
have swings and other recreation
equipment,
"Our summer season is short and
we invite everybody to make use of
the park now while the weather is
suitable for picnics and play, day
or evening. Barrels for rubbish have
been placed, please help keep our
park clean The use of the park is
free, but organizations wishing to put
on community picnics should speak
to the park commissioner so as to
avoid conflicts. All groups using
the park must clean up after them,
and please bear in mind to avoid
needless injury to trees and shrubs
and be careful with fires"

United States
They did not, however, attain their
original goal, for impenetrable fog
made it desirable for them to land
Sunday morning at Vancouver, Wash
ington. Their landing was as perfect
as had been the entire flight, and the
fact that they did not reach San
Francisco on a nonstop record flight
became a matter of secondary i'm
portance in view of the actual &C
complishment, made all the more adj
mirable for the reason that the filters
had to cross territories where there
are no human habitations; if they
crashed, death would be inevitable,
for there was no chance of being
rescued. AS it was, they made the

UnScheduled Arrival Here.

When the seven o'clock nOrthbound
flyer went through Askov Monday
night an unheralded and unscheduled
passenger in the form of lady's
trunk arrived. However, it's arrival
was not as gentle as that of most pas
sengerS since the conductor did not
know of it. In some manner when
the evening papers were pushed off
the baggage car, the trunk also
seemed to decide that it had enough
riding for a time and alighted. 1t
however, was not in shape to deliver
as were the papers, for it had to be
picked up lin baskets.
The trunk belonged to a lady and
was destined to Duluth. 1t contained
articles of clothing, much of which
was soiled and torn. The trunk was
completely demolished.
