F0RD'S ST. LOUIS
PLANT P|CKETED
Manager Says 58.4 Pct. on
Job Despite Strike-60O
Hired Yesterday.
BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24-Members of
the United Automobile Workers of
America, protesting alleged grievances,
went on strike today at the st. Louis
assembly plant of the Ford Motor Co.
About $50 pickets guarded the two
main entrances Of the plant after an
early morning demonstration in which
some 1900 men, many of them mem
bers of other c. I. o. unions, swarmed
around the building. There was little
disorder.
Milton N. johnson, Ford manager,
calling the picketing IAN invasion by
other C. 1. o. unions" said 584 men
entered the plant and were at work
on the assembly lines. He claimed
600 men were employed yesterday.
"A few union leaders are under the
impression they can dominate the
Ford plant" he declared, but they
will find they are going to have a
sweet time. Ford employees are salts
fled and want to work"
belmont Garst, regional director Of
the Automobile Workers Union, who
directed the General Motors strike
here last January and February, an
nounced the strike will continue until
Ford recognizes our union"
The union has filed charges with
the National Labor Relations Board
alleging Ford refused to bargain COL
lectively, Disseminated against union
members in Unemployment after a
seasonal lay-off, forced workers to
sign loyalty pledges and fostered a
company union.
Manager johnson denied the
charges, asserting the company recog-
nized the principles of collective bar
gaining, but, he added, I'VE are not
willing to recognize the authority of a
few men who do not represent a ma
jority of the Ford workers"
Seventy-flve uniformed policemen,
augmented by Ford company guards,
were on duty at the plant during the
early ymorning mass picketing Identi-
fed in the picket line, through their
union emblems, were members of the
Steel Workers, Electrical Workers,
Garment Workers and Gas House
Workers Unions.
Ford employees not in sympathy with
the c. I. o. apparently had prear-
ranged plans for arriving at the plant
by automobile. Cars loaded with work
ers-at one time l9 automobiles in
one group-Were ushered into the
company parking lot through police
lines.

100 big banks held 81 per cent of the
entire deposits of the country. COM
pared with concentration of 35 per
cent decade ago.
Explanation Made.
This concentration in large banks
is due to the banking custom of small
er banks keeping their idle funds,
which are currently very large, in
their correspondent city banks, as we'll
as the fact that the balances of city
business concerns are increasingly con-
centrated in the larger banks" the re-
view said
