new TROUBLES
FEARED At FLINT

FLINT, Mich, April 20 Q.N.So
Fear of new trouble at the closed
Fisher body and Buick plants OF
the General Motors Corporation
was feltytoday as more than 5000
employees prepared to return to
work tomorrow.
Approximately $500 Fisher body
employees and more than 1900
Buick assembly line workers are
involved. They will be idle today
due to mechanical trouble at the
Fisher plant. Lack Of bodies will
keep the Buick employees out OF
work.

Martin brought to an end the two
day "dues picketing," blamed fol
the 48hour shutdown of the
plants by GIN. officials.
Henry Wilson, JAW president
Of Fisher Body local No. l &C
coded to the demand for cessa
ton of the picketing, said:
IF president Martin wants us
to call off the picketing, we'll
do so. He's the boss. But we'll
do our picketing now when the
shifts have finished work. We
can check employees after work
instead of before"
This was in defiance of GIN
President Knudsen's Statement
yesterday in which he warnec
against picketing of any sort out
side the GIN. plants.
1.-THE corporation will take the
only way of meeting this latest
breach of faith by the union,"
He said, namely, to let the
plant remain closed until the
practice is stopped and the pic
ket lines withdrawn"
Wilson was quoted as saying
they would see that G. M. worker
remain in the plants by establish
ing the picket lines during thu
change Of shifts, thus doubly in
surfing a full crew for the mex
day."
