According 10 the General Mo
tors here, a group of works. IN
the Bay City plant had asked for
a conference with factory officials
at 10 q. m.
The officials granted the re
quest, 1t was said. but the union
men were late in appearing and
when the conference did not start
at 10, the sit-down started.
Robert Travis, district organizer
for the U. A. W., said the strike
was called by the union because
of intimidation Of union workers
by General Motors officials" He
added:
"T am sure, however, it will
not be a long strike. The men
are now meeting with officials
to try to iron out the difficult
ties"
Travis made his statement at
Flint, and then departed imme-
diately for Bay City.
Some 80 State troopers held
the eight strikelbound Chrysler
plants today after the 5000 sit
downers there evacuated peace
fully yesterday to pave the way
for resumption of Gov. Frank
Murphy's auto strike peace parley
at Lansing.
The strikers ended their 17-day
siege under terms of an agree
ment that Chrysler would not at
tempt to operate his $50, ,000, 900
chain Of factories while negotia-
tionS on the United Auto Workers
Unions demand for sole recogni-
ton continued.
Troopers Take Over
After long hours of uncertainty
over whether the strikers would
vote to accept the evacuation
agreement, the plants were cleared
late yesterday afternoon amid
band-playing, cheering and shout
ing by crowds Of strikers and
their Sympathizers.
State Police Commissioner
Oscar Handler, who had gathered a
force Of 100 troopers here, i'm.
mediately dispatched 10 officers
to each plant, and held flying
squad" Of 20 troopers in reserve
today.
Unionists also formed picket
lines around the plants, but the
numbers in the ranks were small.
For one thing, temperatures
dropped to is degrees after a
snowstorm. Another reason for
the small number Of pickets was
the fact the strikers held aSsur-
ance from ChrySler that no at
tempt would be made to operate
the plants.

equity in his job. So the view.
points of the two men conflict
sharply.
Between, in the role Of the
master negotiator and peace.
maker is Governor Murphy, calm,
patient and serious.
Murphy Hopeful
The Governor apparently be-
lieves he can bring about a COM
promise on the sole bargaining
issue acceptable to both Chrysler
and Lewis, who resumed their
talks yesterday following termina-
ton Of the Detroit sit-down strike.
It is this one issue that is
holding up settlement Of the
Chrysler strike which has been
in progress since March 8.
Governor Murphy said:
81 am optimistic that we can
bring both sides together and
end this strike. The confer
ences are being carried on in
the spirit of Good Friday-the
spirit OF sacrifice"
SIT DOWN EFFECTIVE
when the Chrysler strike Is
settled, the most serious of the
labor difficulties will be out Of
the way. We are headed
for industrial peace and good
will in Michigan. The future
labor relations in Michigan and
in the nation looks extremely
bright to me.
eve will not get a true pic
ture until a few months have
elapsed. Problems involving the
human equation cannot be
solved by an exact form Of
justice.
"The Sit-d0wn strike has been
effective and has been justified
by the labor leaders on that
ground and on moral grounds,
but of course it is not legal.
The rule of thumb isn't much
help in such situation"

BEATEN UP BY
THREE GUARDS
OFFICER JOHN NELSON SET
UPON LAST NIGHT WHEN
HE PLACED ONE or MEN
UNDER ARREST

While making an arrest last
night on Dilval street, Patrolman
John Nelson was set upon and
beaten by three members Of Bat
terry BD, Florida National
Guard, and but for the timely as
sistance rendered BY citizens. may
have been seriously injured.
The officer told The Citizen
that he advised one Of the trio OF
guardsmen that he would have to
stop using the profane and bias
ph2mous language he was indulg-
ing in, and the answer Of the
soldier was worse than the pre-
vious remarks.
When placed under arrest by
Patrolman Nelson, the soldier and
his companions started to belabor
the officer, removed his club
from his belt, got him on the
ground and began Kicking him
before assistance arrived.
The three men who gave their
names as ]. P. sabin, Marcus
Baker and Louis Fenkley, Of Bat
B were arrested and piac-
ed in the city jail until this morn
ing when Major william v Al
bury went to the Jail and Sc
cured their release with the I'M
derstanding that the men would
be presented in court for trial
whenever the case was set.
Officer Nelson said that the
only pain he was suffering this
afternoon was in one OF his arms
which had been struck BY either
the foot ef one Of the soldiers OF
by the night stick that had been
taken from his belt.

STOCKS SLUMP,
Then REBOUND

NEW YORK. Oct. % d.N.sO.
The profit-taking urge dominated
an cratic stock market from the
opening day. This brought a
furry of heavy selling which at
one time saw leading issues off 81
to SO from last nights close.
Support then appeared and a
large part of the losses were re-
covered. Trading was heavy for a
while, the ticker falling two min
utes behind, but turnover con-
tinued to contract from the huge
volume since Tuesday.
Steels and rails were the reac-
lions leaders, the latter influenced
by failure of the rumored I. C. c.
freight rate decision to develop
overnight. Declines in rails ran
to nearly So a share in AtchiSon
but these were largely erased by
the second hour and, in some cases,
small gains substituted.
U. S. Steel fell nearly SO and
then worked back toward the pre-.
vious close. Chrysler wiped out a
So loss, and elsewhere the same
trend prevailed.
