GENERAL MOTORS
TO CLOSE LONGER
ShutdoWns to Average ;
Weeks More Than in
Summer of 1887.
Py the Associated Press,

Gy LQe AbSCClatco 1TeSS.
NEW YORK, June 23.-William K.
Knudsen, president OF General Mo-
tors Corp. said today its factories
would be closed. on the average, three
weeks longer this summer than last,
when the average shutdown for the
change -over period was between two
and three weeks.
The severe 1898 drop in automo-
bile sales, not experienced during the
spring of 1887, was blamed by Knud-
sen as the cause for the extra shut
down. Last years shutdown was the
shortest in the industry's history.
In States where no Unemployment
Insurance Act is In force, employees
in need will receive money advances
from the company to tide families
over the lay-off period, he said.
The annual inventory and model
change period will be staggered, in
various plants. over July and ku-
gust, with all plants back in pro-
duction during September.
The schedules for new-car produc-
ton during the months July to Octo-
ber, inclusive, call for the building OF
215,000 cars and trucks, he said. in
cluding initial quantities Of 1899
models.
This figure may be compared with
the 1887 total for the same four
months of 663,947 cars sold to deal
ers, although the comparison is not
an exact one.
