WILDCAT STRIKERS
Announcement by Union
Paves Way for Renewal of
Contract Discussions.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 1S.-The way Wa
paved today for renewal Of contract
discussions by the Automobile Workers
Of America and General Motors Corp,
with union announcement that it is
"unalterably opposed to all unauthor-
ised strikes" and will discipline men,
bers responsible for them.
The wildcat strike pledge has been
= stumbling block for many weeks.
The union has been seeking . revi-
sion Of the General Motors contract.
W. S. Knudsen. president of General
Motors. has declared repeatedly that
further conversations about contract
revision were useless unless union as
surance was given on this point.
The new pledge amounts to an ir-
revocable guarantee. the union said.
The action was taken by the Inter-
national Executive Board of the union
and was unanimous. President Homer
Martin said it will not require ratifi-
cation by delegates from General Mo-
tors locals. such IS . similar pledge
made last September 16, but revoked
In November by the delegates.
In the wildcat strike pledge the
union agrees that the corporation may
discharge or otherwise discipline en-
ployes responsible for unauthorized
stoppages of work and that the union
itself will also punish the guilty ones
Nom compliance by the union in this
procedure would amount to breach OF
contract.
