dent Lazaro Cardenas appealed today

of six pesos (about $3.50, vacations
of 30 days, a 40-hour work week with
pay for Sc hours and pension scale

No Immediate Strike Feared.
Before these developments, U. A.

high command predicted there would
be no strike at the Ford plant here

One union man said prolonged
strike during the production slack
season." which already has begun,
would have relatively little effect on
the company, but might demoralize
union forces.
A strike threat in the Fall, when
new model production usually begins,
would be more effective, this source
said, in labor negotiations.
Dillon asserted the c. I. O.'s Ford
