According to Lewis, an agree

Charles P. O'Nell, one of the
operator confereeS, and referred
to the joint negotiating commit

approved the draft, but operators
could not concur.
Unanimous consent is required,
and 1t was learned that three of
the eight operator conferees reg;

proposed contract.
According to reliable sources,
the tentative contract provided
for:

DETROIT, April / G.N.S0.-De-
spite strikes, the automobile in
dustry produced 1,158,548 cars and
trucks during the first three
months Of 1887, to set an all-time
record for the period, a survey
showed today.
Output for March, when the
ChrySler, Hudson and REQ plants
were shut down, reached 5O0,37O
units, compared to 438,992 a year
ago, according to figures of the
Automotive Daily News. Based on
these figures, the industry will pro-
duce 100000 units in 1887, it was
estimated.
In the first quarter of 1896, the
first year affected by November
introduction of new models, the
industry manufactured 1,117,172
units, or rs per cent of the years
total.
Meantime, the Chrysler, Hud.
son and REQ plants remained
closed because of labor disputes,

company had signed its "perma-
nent peace agreement" with the
United Auto Workers Union. A
total of 1900 men were idle.
Four G.. M. plants in two cities
were closed because Of sit-downs,
and a fifth plant in which the
G. M. holds stock was also seized
by sit.downerS. Two other G. M.
plants also were closed, but re-
opened a short time later.
G. M. officials here said sit
downs were in progress at the fol.
lowing G. M. plants:
Fisher Body, at Pontiac, $500
affected.
Chevrolet, No. 2, at Flint, 900
affected.
Plants closed because Of the two
strikes we're:
Fisher Body, No: 2, at Flint,
LOO.
Pontiac Motor Company, at Pom
tiac, $500.
Two Plants Reopen
In addition, a Sit-down strike
forced closing of the Yellow Truck
and Coach Manufacturing Com.
pany at Pontiac, in which G. M.
holds stock. G. M. officials ex-
planned, however, that Yellow
Truck was not a part Of the Gen
eral Motors Corporation and not
covered in the March IL perma-
nent-peace agreement with the
U. A. w. About $500 men were
affected by the truck-company
strike.
Soit-downs also broke out at the
Buick plant No. II, affecting 1000
men, and the big Fisher body
plant at Cleveland, affecting 1900
men. However, the latter two
strikes, both of them over wage
disputes, were settled after three
hours and the plants reopened.
The sit-downS, apparently spon-
toneouS, were occurring so fast
for time this morning that G. M.
officials themselves had diff
Guilty in following developments.
Uniquely, the Pontiac assembly
plant at Pontiac closed down be-
cause it could get no auto bodies
from the strike-bound Fisher plant
there. while the Fisher plant No. 2,
at Flint, closed down because it
had no place to send its bodies.
because of the strike in Chevrolet
No. 2.
Pact Violation Charged
High G. M. officials, it was
learned, made immediate repre-
sentatfon to the U. A. w., charg-
ing the strikes comprised direct
violation of the permanent peace
agreement" under which the
union had agreed to submit
grievances to arbitration.
After receiving the G. M. pro-
test, Ed Hall, a U. A. w. vice
president, hurried over to the
G. M. offices here and went into
conference with H. w. Anderson,
personnel director Of G. M. Hall
said:
"Thse strikes are q protest
against the plant managers re-
fuSing to recognize and deal
with employee committees as pro-
vided in the General Motors
agreement"
While stoppage Of work was
temporary at Buick-Flint and
Fisher-Cleveland, it tended to
strain relations between the union
and General Motors.
