$4,000 Auto Workers
Idle as Effects
OF Strike Spread
Ten ChrysIer Plants
|. Menoced by Dispute
In Briggs Works
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, May %. - Approx
mately $1,000 auto workers were
thrown into idleness today as a
strike in seven plants of the Briggs
Manufacturing Co. caused wide
spread layoffs in the highly inte-
grated motor industry.
Chrysler Corp. announced it would
shut down 10 plants in Detroit,
New Castle, Ind, and Kokomo,
Ind, and would be unable to oper-
ate any of its units here except
Dodge truck.
The spread of idleness resulted
from the cutting off of automobile
bodies which the Briggs company
supplies to a large part of the motor
car industry.
U. S. Mediator Arrives.
Only $1,000 men were directly af-
fected by the Briggs strike, which
was called Monday by the C. I. o.
United Auto Workers Union. The
Chrysler shutdown, however, af-
fected about $4,000 in Detroit and
3,400 in Indiana. In addition the
Lincoln division of the Ford Motor
Co., which employs 5000, curtailed
operations. James F. Dewey. Fed
eral labor conciliator, arrived here
today and made immediate ar
rangements for attempting settle
ment.
The strike began at 9 am. Monday.
Picketing was established at the
seven Briggs plants. The walkout
was generally quiet, although two
men were stabbed in a scuffle at
one plant.
The Briggs management reiterat-
ed its willingness to submit the
union grievance list to the arbitra-
tor. The union submitted it's griev-
ance list to the management recent
ly when conferences were started in
connection with the drafting of
a new agreement to replace one
which ended May 16.
A union demand for a so-called
union shop" complicated the situ-
alton. This is modification of the
closed shop idea.

Bitter feelings between Represen-
tative Schultz, Democrat, of Indi-
ana and Corporation Counsel Ell
wood H. Seal f1ared anew today be-
fore the House committee investi-
eating the District milk situation
furnishing the stormiest scene since
the inquiry started three weeks ago
The scene, the second one within
a week between Representative
Schultz and Mr.. Seal, occurred in
the midest of a gruelling examina-
ton by the former of B. B. Derrick
secretary-treasurer of the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
ton. AT the time Representative
Schultz was quizzing Mr.. Derrick as
TO whether the organization had
ever given any presents to Distric,
officials.
Mr.. Seal leaped to his feet and
accused Representative Schultz O,
being "manifestly unfair
Il don't know why you should get
so excited" declared Mr.. Schultz.
You leave the inference that
some District official NAV be in
volved," shouted Mr.. Seal. IF vou
nave any names, make them pub
lie now"
Schultz Retorts.
THE Corporation Counsel is not
member of this committee" re-
torted Mr.. Schultz. Then he must
be placed in his spot. If. he has
any friends whom he doesn't want
hurt by this investigation we ought
to know it,"
Then turning to Mr.. Derrick, Mr.
Schultz asked:
rs 1t true that Mr.. Seal will rep
resent your organiza ton when he
resigns in November"
Mr.. Derrick said it is not true
Again Mr.. Seal leaped to his feet
his face flushed in anger and shout
ed:
Neither is it true that you forced
my resignation.
Spectators who jammed the COM
mlttee room applauded vigorously
One man shouted:
Go ahead and punch him in the
face"
Earlier, before the clash. Mid
western milk producers who are try
ing to invade the Washington mar
ket were warned by Mr.. Derrick
that his organization would meet all
competition, regardless of where ii
comes from, even if it has to sell
milk at 112 cents a gallon.
Mr.. Derrick also testified that his
salary is $4,000 year and that the
organizations pay roll is $44.42O
annually. which represents one-sixth
of cent per gallon for handling
the milk of its member producers in
the so-called Washington milkshed
"Forty-four thousand four hundred
and twenty dollars" said Mr.
Schultz, "its just lot of money the
poor consumer has to let go Of"
But" explained Mr.. Derrick, I'VE
sell seven million dollars worth OF
milk year"
Mr.. Schultz revealed at the out
set of the hearing he planned to
hold public meetings this after
noon and tonight on his bill to open
the Washington milk market to
producers outside the local milk
shed providing a dual milk show
since the investigating committee
intends to continue its hearings
throughout the day.
Representative Smith, Democrat
of Virginia, who sponsored the reso-
luton the House adopted ordering
the inquiry, objected to such a pro-
cedure. He said people interested
in the milk situation could not be
IN two places at the same time.

CLEVELAND, May 23.-Republic
Steel Corp, principal target of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions in its 1887 strike against Lit
tie Steel" struck back today with a
$7,500,O00 damage suit.
Republic, the Nations third larg-
est steel producer, in Federal
Court action named John L. Lewis,
C. I. o. chieftain; Philip Murray,
c. I. o. vice president. and other
officers of the G. l. o. and its con-
stituent Steel Workers Organizing
Committee and Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers of North America. These Or
CARNATIONS also were named de-
PENDANTS, as were approximately TOO
Ohioans whom Republic identified
in statement to the press, as "in-
dividual strikers and union officers
Conspiracy Charged.
The steel company, headed by
Tom Girdler, charged the defend
ants conspired in 1887 to force COM
plete or partial closing of it's plants
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland
Illinois, New York and elsewhere
and then knowingly, mAliciously
recklessly, wantonly and willfully
committed, among Others" the fol-
lowing alleged acts:
Caused plants to be blockaded
and surrounded; threw missiles at
workers; formed pickets into armed
mobs which mobs provoked
commotion and riots -" and fired
upon law enforcement officers;
halted rail movements into and out
of mills.
Also intimidated railroad en-
ployes; obstructed tracks, caused
suspension of mail service to some
plants; threatened employees at their
homes, causing some to be beaten;
damaged employees homes; accosted
workers wives and children; halted
trucks carrying food and medicine
to plants.
Also caused workers to be shot at
assaulted and abducted; prevented
loading and unloading of vessels ir
interstate commerce.
Loss of Business Alleged.
AS result of these asserted acts
Republic contended, it lost business
and profits and was forced to ex.
pend Large sums" for its protection
The defendant unions all were de-
scribed as unincorporated associa-
tions active in the strike, which at
its height made 100000 men idle in
the Great Lakes area. The strike
ended in Ohio, its focal point, when
National Guardsmen were called out
to protect men desiring to return to
work, and it soon collapsed in the
other States involved, without c. I
O.'s obtaining the signed bargaining
contract it sought.
In the suit Republic claimed &C.
tual damages of $2,500,0O0 and said
it was entitled to treble damages
costs and attorneys fees under the
Clayton Act.
Today's suit by Republic is one o.
many arising from the 1887 stee
strike, in which 16 were killed
c. I. O.'s S. w. o. c. demanded q
signed contract from Republic
Youngstown Sheet g. Tube and In.
land Steel and these companies re.
fused, but declared they were al
ways willing to bargain with the
union.
One Cleveland law firm alone has
filed 28 death and injury suits
against Republic, approximating az
million dollars in damages asked
The suits probably will not reach
the trial stage for some months.
