The National Labor Relations
Board has held the Ford Motor Co.
responsible for a 1898 c. I. o. strike
at the company's Long Beach
(Calf0 plant, and ordered 1t to re-
tnstate the strikers.
The order, issued yesterday, also
directed the company to bargain col
lectively with the G. I. O.'S United
Auto Workers Union on request.
The board said the strike followed
the company's refusal to meet a
union bargaining committee In
April, 1888, and discuss an intended
lay-off. 1t held that the refusal to
meet the union was an unfair labor
practice.
The board said strikers who have
not yet returned to work will be en-
titled to remuneration for period
between five days after filing re-
employment application and the re-
turn to work. New employees filling
the jobs of strikers, the board said,
must be dismissed to the extent
necessary to make room for workers
ordered reinstated. Workers for
whom jobs are not available are to
be placed on a preferential rehiring
list.
The board ruled, however, that

Beach plant, had not been inter-

In radio broadcast to the nation
last night Prime Minister Risto Ryti
declared Russia had supposed "that
the defensive capacity and the spirit

abhors.
THE result will be a disappoint-

The government contended there
was no legal justification for the
