ON 32-HOUR WEEK
U. A. W. Insists Hours Be
Kept Until All Employees
Are Recalled.
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
U. A. w. demands for the 32-
hour iOeek Were brought to head
suddenly last Deek ,Dhen $1,000 men
Dere throDn out of Uork Friday
because ,0orkers at the main plant
of Plymouth Dtuision, Chrysler
Corp, refused to 90 through the
gates, having already worked 81
hours that week
BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. Oct. 1l.-Spokesmen for
the United Auto Workers of America
&c. I. o. and the Chrysler and Gen.
eral Motors corporations conferred to-
day on the unions demand that 81
hour week be maintained until all en-
ployes have been recalled.
Approximately 250,000 workers were
affected by the negotiations.
The question came to the fore as
automobile production was stepped up
throughout the industry.
Separate from the 32-hour-week
issue was a dispute involving Flint
Buick Plant workers, who claim senior
ity and wage matters are of more
concern to them at the moment. A
strike has been threatened in the
Buick case.
Chevrolet division Of General Mo-
tors in Flint was the center of a con-
troversy briefly yesterday, but the
management notified union bargain
ing committee that it would recall
300 men a day until IL 400 had been
employed Theodore La Duke. chair
man of the union committee, then
said the unions 32-hour demand in
that quarter had been automatically
voided
Oldsmobile division OF General Mo-
tors announced through General
Manager C. L. McCuen that it would
rehire 1850 workers because of gen
eral improvement in business"
Union spokesmen said they had been
informed Chevrolet and Fisher Body
divisions covering "a General Motors
plants were to increase production
from Is to 20 per cent Immediately
and that the two divisions would soon
be operating at from 80 to IS per
cent of normal production.

Gently, comforting with Representative
Doughton, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House. and
Chairman Arthur j. Altmeyer Of the
Social Security Board. While this
move to liberalize old age pensions is
designed to help the Democratic con-
gressional and gubernatorial tickets in
Michigan, it is also intended to aid the
New Deal party all over the country.
With Townsendism and other demands
for increased old age pensions spread
ing widely, the Democrats have reached
the conclusion they must do some
thing, particularly after witnessing
the September triumphant reelection
OF three Republican members of the
House in Maine, all Endorsed by the
ToWnSenditeS
The Democratic leaders are counting
on strong support Of Gov. Murphy by
organized labor. Indeed, if it were not
for the Endorsements which have been
given Murphy by the C. I. o. and the
American Federation of Labor in this
State. the Democrats would be hope
less. There seems little doubt that the
Governor will have the vast majority
of the workers with him, although
some of the older heads in the A. F. L.
ranks are inclined to bolt the New
Deal and vote Republican again
"Sit Down" Reaction Split.
Gov Murphy's handling OF the sit
down strikes which shook Michigan
to its foundations in 1887 has brought
HIM both friends and foes He was
able to bring those disturbances to an
end without using the State troopers
to drive the strikers out of the automo-
bile plants which they had seized. He
avoided soldiers bonus army Incl

to evacuate the veterans. On the
other hand, he was roundly criticized
for temporizing with the sit-downers
The consequence is, Gov. Murphy

Fitzgerald, on the other hand, had
opposition for the nomination and he
later reused resentment by insisting
upon placing lot Of old hacks on the
ticket with him. However, the Re-
publican party in Michigan is up on its
toes and working hard for victory At
headquarters here it is insisted that
Fitzgerald will come to Wayne County
-Detroit-with big enough majority
to far Offset the lead which Gov
Murphy is expected to roll up in this
industrial center. Wayne County casts
about one-third of the total State vote.
The Constitutional Democratic party
opposed to Murphy and the New
Deal-haS pvt ticket in the field,
which may cut into Murphy's strength.
Its candidate for Governor is B. F.
Stephenson, real estate operator in
Detroit. He was the Detroit manager
for the Rev. Father Coughlin's Lemke
presidential ticket in 1886. If Father
Ceughlin should get into the campaign
and support Stephenson, the Constitu-
tional Democrats might do some real
damage to the New Deal ticket. But so
far not peep has been heard out of
the Royal Oak priest.
William A. Comstock, former Demo-
cratic Governor, is believed to be .
backer Of the Constitutional Demo-
cratic party. He is exceedingly bitter
against the New Deal administration.
His influence, however, is not what it
used to be by any means.
Relief Coercion Charged.
The w. P. A. workers-and there are
thousands of them in this State-are
expected to support Murphy and the
other New Deal candidates almost
solidly. They. however, must be reck-
oned as part of the labor vote. Al
ready charges are flying thick and fast
that the reliefers are being coerced to
vote Democratic. Rumors are floating
around that they are being moved a
thousand or IS hundred at time into
congressional districts where Demo-

cotton, wheat and possibly corn and
rice.
The October report forecast a 1888
corn crop of 2,459,3l6,0OO bushels, in
dicating a Government loan rate of
about 81 cents bushel. If the No.
vember report indicates crop of less
than about 2,7l7,000, 900 bushels and
the average farm price is below 81
cents bushel November IS, such a
loan rate will be mandatory.
It is unlikely, officials said. that the
November figure will increase the esti-
mate above the 2,7l7,000, ,00O- bushel
level.
The general level of farm prices is
the lowest since 1894 because of heavy
supplies and the business recession.
Ofdcials have estimated that the ma
tional farm income this year will be
about billion dollars less than in
1897.
Plans Referenda in December.
Officials said that under Secretary
Wallace's program, growers would be
asked to restrict paintings next year
and to approve marketing quotas,
under which excessive production
would be taxed if sold. The depart
ment plans to hold referenda on cot
ton, tobacco and rice marketing quo
tas early in December
Ofhcials said it was possible the
administration would ask Congress
for a substantial increase in the ap-
preparation to buy surplus farm prod
ucts for distribution to relief fam
lilies and to subsidize the consumption
of such products by low-income fam
lilies. The appropriation for the cur
rent fiscal year was about SIS, 900, 900.
The departmental reorganization
program, placing all planning and
policy-making functions in one bu-
reau, is designed to eliminate much
red tape" and to speed up payment
of subsidies.

spoils system in Government.
Complying for the first time with
the new law putting postmasters of
the frst, second and third class under
regular civil service, which gives them
life tenure, the Post Office Department
today threw open to competitive ex-
animation SIS f1rst-class postmasterships
in 25 States with a salary range from
$4,000 to $4,000.
In many instances the posts were
those for which the Senate had re-
fused to confirm nominees at the last
session because members of Congress
who ordinarily designate the ap-
pointees were dissatisfied with the ap-
plicants selected under the old civil
service egulations-f1xedb by executive
order-which provided that the rank

cases. the incumbents for some reason
or other are not being reappointed.
Where there is no reappointment or
promotion to fill vacancy, the office
is thrown open to competition.
The highest paid office for which the
Civil Service Commission today an
nounced examination is in Dallas, Tex.

In nearby States are these Offices:
Virginia-Richmond. $1,000: Ports

In Maryland only the Hagerstown
Office, paying $4,000 is affected.
In Pennsylvania are the largest num-
ber of open offices, II, and of these the
most important is that of Harrisburg.

Jersey, with the Trenton Office at
$4,000 on top
In New York the Long Island City
post, paying $4,000, is open and in
Fort Wayne, Ind, there is another
paying the same salary.
Warned Against Political Influence.
In announcing the examination. the
Civil Service Commission warned all
persons against using political in
fluence to obtain appointments. Can
didates are to be rated on educa-
ton and business or professional ex-
perience. with 20 points allotted for the
former and 80 for the latter. The age
limits are SO. except for those persons
having war veterans preference.
The Civil Service Commission will
receive applications for these positions
until November l. The examination
date will be fixed thereafter
